I will try the shirt with the roll neck sweater and see how they play together.</p> <p>Caro, thanks - I've realized I feel good in blue, and have a small collection of blue tops.</p> <p>Magpie, yes, I see what you are seeing. Will try my cobalt Oxfords with that outfit. I shy away from white footwear, but do have one single pair of thick-strap sandals that might work, though I might look a bit seasonally confused with sweater and sandals :)</p> <p>Shannon, yes, good for my so-called budget Old Navy. Do you have ON in Canada? Adding photo of item, and link. <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&amp;pid=954338092" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....=954338092</a></p> <p>LD, thanks - Thank you for suggesting the cool colors for my skin tone.</p> <p>Angie, I really appreciate your clear and professional assessment.&nbsp; I log in most days and comment. I must make time for posting content more often. I have several cobalt tops because I have liked how it looks on me in the photos, I feel validated now. I will follow your advice about remixing the muted rose and brown items with stronger cool colors. I wonder if I liked that rose-brown combination because it makes me sort of a wallflower :)&nbsp; I'm learning a bit more every day – thank you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-colors-ankle-biter-jeans-loft-roll-long#post-1221442 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:57:07 +0000 Angie 1221442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gracie. I've missed you. Excellent to see you post again.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the colours in #2. You wear jewel tones to perfection. Great repetition of the light belt with the piping of those fab shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE #5. My best.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 is excellent because you are smashing in cobalt and black.&nbsp;</p> <p>#6 is fantastic. Elegantly casual.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look&nbsp;great in the warmer&nbsp;rose and camel wild card (#7). I do prefer the cooler and crisper jewel tones on your Winter colouring, but for a change, these shades are fun and you look really pretty. You can also remix them with cool tones - like wear the camel pants with black, and the rose top with blue or white denim.&nbsp;</p> <p>My thumbs are up. Enjoy. xo</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-colors-ankle-biter-jeans-loft-roll-long#post-1221425 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:21:11 +0000 leopardluxe 1221425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these outfits. They all look great on you! I'm especially digging the patterned blouse with the blue topper outfit.&nbsp;I think blues and purples really go well with your skin tone/hair color. So if you're experimenting with wearing more color then I think those colors love you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-colors-ankle-biter-jeans-loft-roll-long#post-1221421 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:16:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1221421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits! Love the gray draped top on you - Old Navy you say? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-colors-ankle-biter-jeans-loft-roll-long#post-1221406 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:02:57 +0000 magpie 1221406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these all look great on you. &nbsp;The only thing I'd change on #1-3 is the color of the shoes -- the style is adorable, but the net effect is color from the waist up, black from the waist down. &nbsp;Maybe white, or one of the less used colors in the blouse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-colors-ankle-biter-jeans-loft-roll-long#post-1221326 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 05:44:22 +0000 Caro in Oz 1221326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #4 best then #3 - I think you look great in bright blue. Cute shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-colors-ankle-biter-jeans-loft-roll-long#post-1221304 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 04:39:45 +0000 AJ 1221304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all these colors look FAB on you! </p> <p>On my monitor, the new pink sweater has a similar coloring to the pinks in the button down in #1. Maybe you can pair those two together as well.</p> <p>The grey top looks nice and especially like the pairing with the necklace.</p> <p>I've seen that messy hem roll on pinterest and keep forgetting to try it. Thanks for the reminder! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-colors-ankle-biter-jeans-loft-roll-long#post-1221284 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 03:58:41 +0000 Gracie 1221284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven’t had time to post in a while and thought that I’d throw “everything” in one post while I have the chance.&nbsp; I’d like your opinions on how these outfit colors look on me. I’m trying to get away from too much black...</p> <p>1-3 Saturated watercolor brights button-down shirt (NY&amp;Co) which I don’t dare wear without a topper because I feel too bright. Cobalt V-neck (ZARA) covering the color party underneath is still bright but somehow, in a solid, I feel better. Close-up of D. Jeans “Ankle Biter” skinnies. I wish all my skinnies had this wide permanent cuff and fit this snug around the ankle. Sling-backs, Everybody “Lono”.</p> <p>4- For reference, my sort of uniform: black demi-boot slacks (Express Columnist), 3/4 sleeve sweater (Express), old hoodie sweater and pointy kitten heels (old). I dressed like this most of the winter when I was too cold to play with more interesting proportions. I can still wear this combo due to AC in the office.</p> <p>5- Another sort of uniform: V-neck (ZARA), Old Navy Rockstar skinnies, Pikolinos booties. The rise looks a tad high to my eye, like it changes my overall proportions. I neglected to adjust the buckle to the center before photo. And of course my eyes go to my thighs first... what is it with thighs and some pants???</p> <p>6- Here I’m trying a new-to-me silhouette: a drapey top that does not swallow me (I admire Deborah’s style and this reminds me of it). Color is new to me also: a pearl gray in a T-shirt weight knit from Old Navy (I also got it in black), worn with the skinnies I keep reaching for over and over, from Forever 21, and leather peep-toe pumps from my favorite Mexican brand, Flexi. Is this gray too blah on me?</p> <p>7-8 Here is my “wild card.” I bought these two pieces from LOFT recently: roll-neck sweater and linen/cotton safari roll pants. I had sworn off browns and most pinks. These however, attracted me and I’m a bit surprised that I really like them with my skin color... what do you think? they are both muted and rosy, my skin is olive toned. Worn with DV Miller studded Oxfords. The last shot is my recreation of the “LOFT roll.” In the store, these pants were rolled up twice, then only half of the cuff was rolled up again (on the outside of the leg) creating a sort of cool pleat. I like the messy effect but next time I’ll either give them one extra roll or do a pin roll to make them narrower so they stay up better. The whole wrinkly linen thing is also new to me. I bought two more linen slacks to test the waters and see if I can embrace the rumpled look.</p> <p>The haircut is the same in all photos, all from this past week, but it looks so different in each photo - what a difference hair styling makes!&nbsp; Oh, I just bought a little note pad with a cute pink pig wearing fancy pink glasses that says “You are never fully dressed until you wear a smile” – Love it!&nbsp; Thanks for reading and I appreciate your comments.</p>
