Maybe we should start a whole new thread on the warm/cool greys issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy/page/2#post-606532 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:58:33 +0000 teeandcee 606532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally OT but, Una, I adore your hair. I've been seriously considering getting mine cut this way for weeks now. I even like the end-of-day messy look. I live in the Midwest so no chance of us running into each other with the exact same hairstyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy/page/2#post-606403 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 13:47:50 +0000 Angie 606403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that blouse half tucked into these trousers. It balances out proportions that way. Very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy/page/2#post-606379 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 13:13:14 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 606379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought the first grey looked cool and the second warm. I have as much trouble with taupe/beige as I do with grey. I always thought grey was cool and beige was warm but the shades and tints make it hard to categorize them.</p> <p>I love the half tuck. I think it shows more of the fab pant and is very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy/page/2#post-606377 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 13:01:33 +0000 Anonymous 606377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this thread took such an interesting turn... I am loving Aida's discussion on color pairings. Una, I'm sorry for the threadjack but can someone explain to me how do you determine your overall warm / cool coloring? As a side note, I do not buy grey because I find it very hard to pair, unless it is with black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606312 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 05:52:44 +0000 catgirl 606312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bj1111, the funny thing is that my frazzled hair is the result of NO styling! My son decided we need to start a "mom and kid go out for breakfast before school" policy on Fridays, so I just had time to get up, shower and stumble out the door. In the first photo it's brushed, but you can see that by day's end it is a whole different, er, "style".</p> <p>I actually switched shampoo and conditioner too, which is giving my hair a more beachy summer look somehow. </p> <p>I'm now looking at greys in a whole new light. For instance, this shade:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pleione-split-neck-roll-sleeve-mixed-media-top/3215802?origin=wishlist" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pl.....n=wishlist</a></p> <p>vs. this one:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pleione-split-neck-roll-sleeve-mixed-media-top/3215802?origin=wishlist" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pl.....n=wishlist</a></p> <p>I much prefer the first but why it dove grey? Is that a warm tone? Or a neutral? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606298 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 05:18:16 +0000 bj1111 606298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@una, these pants are by far my fave of the slouchies. well done. i do like the post frazzle hair too. the piece-y ends look intentional and product intensive.</p> <p>@ aida, totally hear you on the grays disquisition. i find i can wear charcoals more easily near the face compared to light, silvery grays. those are my equivalent of soul sucking beige. matching grays is a bear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606221 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:22:42 +0000 Aida 606221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, grays are the trickiest neutral in my opinion! I am able to wear and mix warm/cool colors because I can fairly easily wear several of both (primarily warm, though), but I'm not always able to articulate why they work well. If you can identify the warm colors you wear well (e.g. tomato red), those are the things you usually could mix with cooler shades (e.g. cobalt or ice gray). Same with the other direction, a cool shade like citron could mix with a warm shade like the tomato red or even these warm-gray pants. I'm kind of of the opinion that you can mix any of the colors that work well for your personal coloring. It's those other shades, the far-from-the-face shades, that get tricky. So that's a good place to start </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606217 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:17:43 +0000 catgirl 606217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eep, I sense a whole new world of beginner level opening up! I always thought of grey as a cool neutral but now I see I must mend my ways... thanks for clarifying. I will have to go fling things around in my closet now to see this concept in action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606211 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:14:52 +0000 Aida 606211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm let's see you're Winter coloring right? I looked up "elephant gray" and it looks like a warm gray from what I could see. So for you, I would pair with blues, reds, and whites/creams without worrying about warm/cool. Some yellows might work (not too sure), pinky-purples could work but probably don't work well with your coloring? IMO, greens would be the trickiest with this. I would want to see more yellowy greens, BUT you probably look best in more emerald shades right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606201 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:05:07 +0000 catgirl 606201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, give me specifics - I could use some Aid(a) in this area! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606198 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:02:11 +0000 Aida 606198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was me! But I am particular about which cool and warm tones get mixed together. If the pants are neutral or cool, then the top should be just fine </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606193 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 01:58:22 +0000 catgirl 606193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are a pretty neutral elephant grey, like a military color.</p> <p>Aida, weren't you the one that said you don't worry about mixing cool and warm tones, or was that someone else? I have a hard time distinguishing cool and warm colors!</p> <p>Sarah, the F21 photo showed this with a black cami. I liked it but thought this was better for work. Will try your idea though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606178 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 01:45:02 +0000 Aida 606178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I also am not sure about the top with the pants, could just be the picture but on my screen the pants read as a warm shade and the top cool. Totally in the minority on that though, so feel free to ignore me :)</p> <p>(Sarah I was thinking that too! A cami that would match the tone of the pants.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606133 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:47:46 +0000 sarah 606133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a way cool outfit - the shoes! the pants! the top! Just wondering if you've tried the top with a dark cami underneath to deal with the whole grinning issue - it seems like a cami that is a dark taupe with blend in with your skin and the pants and might work. Then again, it might be totally bizarre... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606032 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:53:19 +0000 Jonesy 606032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those pants with those shoes--perfect match!! I'm not sure how I feel about the top with the pants, but take my comments with a grain of salt since I am obviously alone in my assessment :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606023 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:45:39 +0000 Parsley 606023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this!<br /> You absolutely CAN do slouchy pants! There's no stumpiness in sight at all- in fact you are looking just tiny and svelte.<br /> This looks so current with the mint top, and I adore your oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-606008 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:27:32 +0000 Tanya 606008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What awesome pants Una!

It's "spring", after all. </p> <p>And Rachylou, I have a hard time finding summery UWP items, which may explain the "sweeter" look. I am open to ideas for spring/summer UWP looks, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-605839 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:28:24 +0000 catgirl 605839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks.ladies! A half-tuck is a great idea. It was hard to figure out with the cami underneath, but I will give it a better try when I'm back home. These are pretty high waisted on me. </p> <p>I bought these pants maybe two years ago? But then gained weight and forgot about them. I think I wore them in one outfit posted here already.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....other-miss</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-605830 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:17:55 +0000 Kiwichik 605830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rocking the slouchy pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-605808 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 17:56:32 +0000 ManidipaM 605808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those SHOES with that blouse are just first-rate.

They drape beautifully and the color is really nice too.</p> <p>I agree with Christianne though. I would like to see a partial tuck to get more of the waist and slouch detail showing. I do love the color combo of brown with aqua/turquoise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-dotty-and-the-slouchy#post-605736 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:55:08 +0000 ironkurtin 605736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice color on you!
