Love the top in number one, it looks fantastic on you, but I don't like it with those jeans and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sorting-out-closet---baggy-jeans#post-742909 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 20:25:44 +0000 Orphiel 742909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of blue doc martens that I painted silver badly some years ago, I will have to dig them out as I'd forgotten about owning them entirely! Cheers for the booties help, I am trying to find some good winter boots now and don't know whether to go for ankle or calf boots. Doesn't help that I am incapable of walking in heels either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sorting-out-closet---baggy-jeans#post-742800 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:31:51 +0000 Isis 742800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 also, and would like the black t-shirt with belt and your high tops.</p> <p>But booties would be even cooler. Booties are ankle boots.....</p> <p>Seems like Doc Martens would fit your style....</p> <p>Thrift stores are a great place to source leather belts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sorting-out-closet---baggy-jeans#post-742797 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:26:26 +0000 Orphiel 742797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cheers guys, and thanks for the forum tips as well :)<br /> I get your comments about the big boots, they are my default winter footwear but falling apart anyway, so I need to get rid, haha. And yeah, I think the #1 top is probably too girly for them. I will try the jeans with a leather belt as soon as I can find a cheapo one to give a go, and I have absolutley no idea what booties are, I'm afraid, have been wondering that for ages.<br /> As for looks, I'd describe mine as kind of shabby urban warrior hippy I guess! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sorting-out-closet---baggy-jeans#post-742790 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:14:14 +0000 CocoLion 742790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite way you've styled these is no. 3. I think the trainers combined with the layered tops creates a visually appealing bookend effect.</p> <p>My second favorite is no. 2. The top and jeans and your body art go so well. And I like the way you've juxtaposed everything with the preppy belt.</p> <p>Not loving no. 1, it could be that the top and jeans just have a different vibe. Like the top is girly but the bottoms are tomboy. Sometimes that kind of contrast creates a great, ironic look, other times, it doesn't work as well.</p> <p>Welcome to the forum btw!!</p> <p>ETA (edited to add): I also feel the boots in no. 1 are throwing me, prefer the way these baggy bf jeans look with shorter footwear. Maybe try booties and rolling the pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sorting-out-closet---baggy-jeans#post-742789 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:13:34 +0000 Kiwichik 742789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi you can post photos after 10 days &amp; after having written 5 replies or comments. All the info can be found by clicking levels on your profile page.</p> <p>Meg what look are you going for? </p> <p>With your ink I can imagine Urban Warrior Princess or Gwen Stefani in her No Doubt days.<br /> i think the black top in the first photo &amp; the high boots are out of sync with the distressed jeans. I prefer you in the black TShirt. I'd like to see the jeans with short booties and a leather belt. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sorting-out-closet---baggy-jeans#post-742782 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:03:54 +0000 Orphiel 742782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if these are a good look or not, have posted pics of wearing them with several different tops, what do you guys think?<br /> When do I get to add photos to my posts, btw? Have put them on flickr for now :)</p> <p>1. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/74619946@N00/8067302153/in/photostream" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/7.....hotostream</a><br /> Probably my best top in terms of giving me a waist, unfortunately now v. old and not made any more :(<br /> 2. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/74619946@N00/8067299946/in/photostream" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/7.....hotostream</a><br /> Plain (ish) t-shirt, trying it kind of half tucked in<br /> 3. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/74619946@N00/8067301754/in/photostream" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/7.....hotostream</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/74619946@N00/8067303875/in/photostream" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/7.....hotostream</a><br /> Looks good from the front I reckon, but not sure about the side view, also whether wearing them with trainers makes me too top-heavy.</p> <p>Meg </p>
