I think of cognac as a neutral. And it always warms up the outfit (for those of us who prefer warmer colours). Both outfits are fab. I like the idea of tryin a longer underlayer in no 2. No 1 reminds me how much I would like a burgundy skirt. There is some burgundy appearing in our stores now, so yay!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624518 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 22:12:38 +0000 olga 1624518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice colors, great looks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624345 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 17:25:10 +0000 rachylou 1624345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey!

Love both of your outfits Jenn, but particularly #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624314 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 16:28:39 +0000 Angie 1624314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EXACTLY, Jenn. Keep on pushing yourself a little further and enjoy the results!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624289 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 15:49:53 +0000 Jenn 1624289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! I tried the wrap thing, and this top is definitely too small for it to work. I'll wear with a cami next time. There was a time when I wore that cami under a partially-buttoned shirt look all the time, but that look waned as my boho streak waxed.</p> <p><b>Angie,</b> every time I pair burgundy and cognac, there's a little mental block that says it's not going to work, and then I put it on and it almost always does. It's interesting, how difficult a simple thing like going outside our standard color pairings can be.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624252 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:50:35 +0000 Ginger 1624252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love both of these! Though I can see that the denim shirt is snug. Bummer! The wrap idea sounds really neat, as does layering with a soft underlayer. The boots and skirt are AMAZING, and wow, matching leather jacket! </p> <p>I really like #2 as well. The match of the two shirts is perfect, and I like just that amount of layer showing, when the under one has a straight hemline. The perpendicular stripes at the cuffs are awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624080 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 04:15:08 +0000 Anonymous 1624080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing that the first outfit is a great color combo. Bit I also like the relaxed vibe of the second one as well, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624070 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 03:57:27 +0000 rabbit 1624070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color schemes of both of these are great, #1 is particularly wonderful on you, really smashing. &nbsp;</p> <p>If you can't get this denim shirt to cooperate (I'm totally trying Aida's wrap trick next chance I get), I'd look for one in the same hue/wash because it works really well. &nbsp; Will fashion tape solve the gapping?&nbsp;</p> <p>For skirts that aren't good for tucking and have some flare at the bottom (not tubes) I usually look for shirts that are a cropped length hitting just below the skirt waistband. &nbsp;I'm kinda intrigued by these raw hem denim shirts: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624062 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 02:59:32 +0000 Alassë 1624062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the combination of burgundy skirt + cognac lace-up boots in #1, and the mustard + stripes + denim colour scheme of #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624053 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 02:10:03 +0000 Anonymous 1624053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, the both of them. Could you move the button downward? The shirt looks like it is made of a fantastic denim.<br /> Mustard is so good on you. I love the pairing with the cognac...such an great colour combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624046 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 02:04:54 +0000 Angie 1624046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is Killer. I just LOVE it when you wear burgundy with cognac, Jenn.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624042 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 02:00:35 +0000 Jaime 1624042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaping shirts drive me crazy - I like Aida's solutions. The outfit both look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624041 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 01:59:44 +0000 Aida 1624041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera I think you're right. With a higher waisted bottom it might work though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624040 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 01:57:27 +0000 Maneera 1624040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1, Jenn...you always look nice in full skirts. But I'm surprised at how much I love #2! Layering the tank underneath has totally transformed the look of the striped tee to somehow make it look more interesting! I will have to try this myself! </p> <p>Love the wrapping idea, Aida. Though I feel it'll work better for roomier shirts than snug ones, it's definitely an awesome tip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624038 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 01:56:19 +0000 Aida 1624038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotcha ^^ Is that your only skirt? The shorter tee length is a slam dunk with skirts or high-waisted bottoms or even a tank dress/sheathe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624033 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 01:44:00 +0000 Jenn 1624033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll have to try that with the wrapping, Aida. I like the femininity of that a lot!</p> <p>I have often considered pairing the striped tee with the skirt, but I live in a small town with one high school, whose colors happen to be maroon and gold. Every time I put on that particular combination, I feel kind of boosterish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624012 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 00:51:27 +0000 MsMaven 1624012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits, especially the first one. That is a great idea for a shirt Aida. I avoid button down shirts--even if I go up a size they still pull apart at the bust. I'm going to try it out with the one shirt I do have.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1624003 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 00:31:54 +0000 ma 1624003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits!</p> <p>And great link Aida! I love that and am def going to try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1623998 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 00:09:50 +0000 Aida 1623998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first outfit is especially adorable! I see what you're saying about the shirt; that button fit can be really difficult to get right. You could always pop a silky top underneath to undo the next button. Or even try <a href="http://giftgirlstyle.com/looks/wrap-tuck-make-your-oxford-interesting/" rel="nofollow">wrapping the top instead of buttoning it</a>. I think the shrunken top (boo!) in #2 could be good with the skirt in #1. And it might be worth trying it with an even longer top underneath for a more exaggerated hem effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-and-denim-1#post-1623985 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 23:33:15 +0000 Jenn 1623985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two outfits from the past week.</p> <p>Outfit 1 is what I wore today for library volunteering. I suspect the reason I don't wear this denim shirt much is that it's just a little too snug. It would gap less with one more button undone at top, but while I'd totally do that for weekend-wear, it seemed a little much for a day at the school.<br />Jacket: NY&amp;Co&nbsp;<br />Shirt: Gap&nbsp;<br />Skirt: Talbots&nbsp;<br />Bag: Fossil<br />Boots: Born<br />Watch/Fitness Track: Misfit</p> <p>Outfit 2 was a casual errands/home day. I layered a tank beneath this striped tee because it has shrunk straight upwards.&nbsp;</p> <p>Tee: J.Crew Factory<br />Jeans: Lands End<br />Shoes: Converse </p>
