I'm on the floor. I tried to learn to sew once...made a disaster of a top and gave up. I don't even hem. I'm in awe of the skill and patience it takes to sew. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095944 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 21:21:45 +0000 carter 1095944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic. I love that every item has some stand-alone interest to it, yet somehow when it's all put together they all play so nicely together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095927 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 21:04:55 +0000 Parsley 1095927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FC, you are a master at tonal neutral mixing!<br />What a beautiful outfit, and I'm awestruck by your coat. Wow!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095840 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 19:45:43 +0000 lyn67 1095840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, and WOW again!!!

I love the mix of textures. Visual eye candy -- I love it! Marking as a favorite!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095757 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 18:16:39 +0000 Jenava 1095757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look. &nbsp;You rock those jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095721 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 17:47:33 +0000 FlorenceFearne 1095721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So loving this. Those coated leggings really add a lot to this outfit. I think tone-on-tone outfits are a lot harder than people realize because you have to add great textures, shapes, jewellery, etc and you just do it perfectly. And of course, that coat is incredible. I like the 60s vibe. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095695 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 17:34:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1095695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>qfbrenda, thanks! I just had it cut with bangs, and after a few days' breaking-in, I wondered why I waited so long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095693 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 17:31:51 +0000 qfbrenda 1095693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!&nbsp; And your hair is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095690 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 17:29:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1095690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! Your comments point out to me the elements that make this outfit a comfortable one for me to wear and feel good in. </p> <p>Alexandra, the pattern is the Zig Zag Shirt and Pants from The Sewing Workshop. Looks like it has been discontinued, but here's the <a href="http://www.sewingworkshop.com/gallery?start=45" rel="nofollow">gallery page</a> with photos of the pattern made up. I lengthened the shirt pattern to coat length, lined it, and added slanted oversized-welt pockets to the front.</p> <p>Alecia--good idea--thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095567 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 15:25:49 +0000 Beth Ann 1095567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so skilled at creating fabulous tonal outfits -- lots of harmony between the elements, and lots of interest, too.</p> <p>Gorgeous coat, of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095562 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 15:21:46 +0000 Angie 1095562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is a monotone and textural delight. Suits you to a tee. 11 out of 10.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095529 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 14:45:02 +0000 Karie 1095529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous coat. Gorgeous sweater, gorgeous coated denim leggings, gorgeous outfit. Did I say GORGEOUS? One of my favs of yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095522 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 14:35:15 +0000 E 1095522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great outfit, all of the textures make it so interesting! That coat is stunning. :O The fabric complements you perfectly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095515 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 14:27:23 +0000 Alecia 1095515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm agog over your sewing skills. I want to be able to do this someday. Don't have the time to spend sewing right now. My daydream is to take classes with my daughter when she gets big enough. But since it's my daydream she'll probably run screaming from something like that when the time comes. :-)</p> <p>I really like all the components of the outfit. Have you considered untucking the shirt? I see a lot of hard horizontal lines in the outfit - the belt, the cuffs, the boots. I think taking the belt out of the equation would really add some fluidity and match the softness of the cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095513 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 14:25:09 +0000 Aleta 1095513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, you look really cool and edgy, but in an elegant,classy way. &nbsp;I love tonal outfits and this with all&nbsp;its different textures ticks all the boxes for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095509 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 14:16:45 +0000 Anonymous 1095509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit FC! Beautiful sewing too. I love the sort of Rock vibe from the leather leggings and your accessorising is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095499 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 13:57:11 +0000 Suz 1095499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous coat. The outfit is great, too, but I hear you absolutely on wanting not to wear leggings as much. I wore mine as part of our no-repeat November challenge and I'm just not "feeling" them as much these days. Oh well. For winter (tucked into boots) they are still pretty useful. And you look darned good in yours.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095497 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 13:52:30 +0000 Astrid 1095497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock! So so cool. And fantastic that you made the coat yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095419 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 07:24:43 +0000 Alexandra 1095419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the whole outfit! What pattern did you use for the coat? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095389 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 06:18:18 +0000 Neel 1095389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!

Brilliant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095385 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 06:13:24 +0000 kellygirl 1095385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those coated jeggings are one of my favorites on you. The grey and silvers are so pretty. You look so chic and modern with a touch of elegance! The coat is amazing. Your sewing skills never fail to impress me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095383 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 06:07:36 +0000 Diana 1095383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;I am so impressed by that coat as well! &nbsp;I love the swingy shape and that elegant silhouette and everything. &nbsp;So fab! &nbsp;Outfit is great too; I think you look particularly great in the coated jeggings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095381 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 06:02:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1095381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Alaskagirl! Yes, it's an ambitious project for me. I more typically go for more fast-fashion kinds of sewing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095369 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 05:28:36 +0000 catgirl 1095369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You MADE that coat?&nbsp; Your skills know no bounds!&nbsp; I am impressed beyond belief!&nbsp; And I love the outfit too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-brunch-and-shopping#post-1095368 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 05:26:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1095368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this outfit yesterday on my day off, to have brunch with a friend and then do some shopping. (This is the shopping trip I came home with the harem pants. Maybe the difference in looks is, or should be, instructive for me? hmmm, style coherence?) <br />Anyway, this is kind of a FFBO for me, despite the fact that I've been wanting to wear looser jeans and pants lately. The FFBO portioin is gray tee and&nbsp; skinnies, topped by one of my long sweaters, accessorized with some combo of belt and necklace and anchored with booties.</p> <p>1: gray coated denim leggings (AG), gray tone on tone scroll-patterned tee (made by me), long slate-blue/gray and cream striped sweater (Eddie Bauer), silver floral cutout belt (Fossil), graphite booties (Paul Green), silvery bib necklace.</p> <p>2: outfit above with brown &amp; gray wool coat (made by me), gray gloves in a thin, cozy knit (Jeanne Simmons), gray bag (Aunts &amp; Uncles)</p> <p>I always appreciate your feedback. Thanks for looking!</p>
