I love how you've styled them with the orange top and belt, plus the booties. And I especially like the hoody as a topper with the outfit. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-orange-with-plaid#post-1269904 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 02:50:43 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1269904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Aida, thanks! And *high five* for Team Orange! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-orange-with-plaid#post-1269883 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 02:29:06 +0000 Aida 1269883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! More plaid, I say Great pants, and go Team Orange (we were a small bunch). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-orange-with-plaid#post-1269835 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 01:47:28 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1269835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*high five* @Dee! Yep...full-length "cropped" pants are totally a strategy. Been using that since the 80s. :P</p> <p>@fuzzylogic, yes, definitely needs edge to keep it from getting too golfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-orange-with-plaid#post-1269728 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 23:59:33 +0000 fuzzylogic 1269728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! The zips add an edgy element to the plaid while the orange is a great contrast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-orange-with-plaid#post-1269717 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 23:46:50 +0000 Dee 1269717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color combo!&nbsp;I love&nbsp;orange, and what a&nbsp;fun plaid.&nbsp;I have also bought cropped pants to be worn as full length pants in the last few months. It's easier and cheaper than getting everything hemmed, and I doubt most people can tell the difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-orange-with-plaid#post-1269653 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 22:37:14 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1269653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Inge, thanks! I added a detail below just for you. Dark gray with darker gray lines, bands of muted ink blue, and then lighter lines in white and bright red. Plaid often has to include cheeky, clashing colors, you know? The old me would have balked at putting orange with red, but I've...grown up?</p> <p>@Suz, yes, I have warmed up to hoodies greatly (no pun intended), especially in non-lockerroomesque fabrics. I should probably add more; I don't have many. They are a definite staple around these parts--you can almost never go wrong with a hoodie here. </p> <p>And, have revisited plaid with intention now that I've noticed less frumpy items in it that are nothing like the 70s-style or boarding-school-plaid things I remember from back when. I don't know WHY I decided a few months ago that I needed punky plaid trousers. But I did. (And then Angie enabled by sporting her own.)</p> <p>Thank you @cheryl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-orange-with-plaid#post-1269532 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 20:14:09 +0000 cheryl 1269532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look great! I love those pants!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-orange-with-plaid#post-1269454 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 18:45:33 +0000 Suz 1269454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me at plaid! I usually think of it for fall/ winter but am delighted to see so many forum members sporting it now. You look great. And yes -- a hoodie can be a surprisingly useful topper! I wore one of mine (a cream cashmere one) more than almost anything in my closet this winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-orange-with-plaid#post-1269452 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 18:41:58 +0000 Inge 1269452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colour combination, Ambergreen. I can't see the checked pattern all that well, but I adore checked trousers, so big thumbs up from me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-orange-with-plaid#post-1269441 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 18:33:55 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1269441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Aida and Neel, this was me yesterday: </p> <ul> <li>Old, thrifted orange tee (actually has metallic sheen), Faded Glory</li> <li>Oldish (but like new), thrifted orange leather croc-embossed belt, Adrienne Vittadini</li> <li>Checked gray trousers, Mango</li> <li>Rust suede bootlets, Clarks</li> <li>Old, thrifted gray microfiber cardi, Ann Taylor</li> <li>Navy blue hoodie sweatshirt, St. John's Bay</li> <li>(silver hoop earrings, silver chain bracelets, orange disk ring, etc.)</li> </ul> <p>Now...I didn't actually need the hoodie, it turned out--and if I had actually worn it outside the house it would have been a first, since I generally don't bring that kind of wear outside. But out of what I had, it seemed to work the best. So...a wardrobe hole discovered, I think. And I also need better lighting, I know.</p> <p>(PS, the Mango pants are meant to be cropped, so I knew they'd work for me as not-cropped. I am tiiiired of hunting for pants that arrive already short enough, a rare beast outside of the jeans category. As it is, I really need to have the back of the waistband brought in on these. Sigh.) </p> <p>Anyway...orange. </p>
