I, too, prefer the longer jacket and flipped over #2. The added tweaks are great, too, for when you want to change it up. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-523263 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:38:55 +0000 Heather 523263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, I have never seen a darling contractor....you are so lovely in all four looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-523258 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:36:29 +0000 taylor 523258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them both for their different vibe! I agree that you are so very feminine you really don't look masculine at all, in fact I like a little masculine edge in some outfits!<br /> Good work!:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-523256 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:35:36 +0000 Angie 523256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And what a KILLER job you did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-523252 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:32:49 +0000 modgrl 523252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback everybody. I am still tweaking this outfit. I added a few photos with this afternoon's updates. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-523126 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:49:47 +0000 shipskitty 523126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both but I think my fav is #2 with the longer jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-523086 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:47:02 +0000 Jjsloane 523086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've noticed that all of us who've tried this look are stuck on the scarf trick. It's lovely and I think once we retrain the eyes we can free ourselves from it. That said I like both versions - nicely done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-523078 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:40:04 +0000 Deborah 523078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great! The look may be masculine bit you make it very sift and feminine:). I think both jackets work equally well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-523059 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:24:05 +0000 Queen Mum 523059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great.. I think I prefer version 1 with the scarf for the color it adds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-523033 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:04:34 +0000 Jonesy 523033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both are fab! Maybe hubby was just checking you out in an admiring way :)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-523021 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 23:58:25 +0000 Aida 523021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like both, but I REALLY like #2 I think adding cognac boots/natural leather belt might make it even more rugged and mensy, unless of course the boots are heeled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522778 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:37:56 +0000 modgrl 522778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing the second one today, hubby said he liked it but only after giving it a critical up and down look-over. So I'm not so sure if he really liked it or maybe thought it was not work appropriate? If I do this again I will probably try it with my cognac boots, a natural leather belt, and definitely lipstick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522704 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:34:19 +0000 HelenInCanada 522704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modgrl, both versions are MOTG perfection! If you get a masculine vibe (I like to say androgynous instead!), I feel like a pop of colourful shoes will do the trick! (Red? Metallic flats? Your wedges?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522673 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:06:21 +0000 Suz 522673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, you look great, and I like both versions. I think maybe the shirt's volume isn't held in check as much as you might wish with #1 and/or it is the proportion with that jacket that may feel a bit off...I would probably do the unthinkable and tuck, but that might not work either if the jacket is too short. Anyway, I like it regardless, and really like the scarf. </p> <p>But I LOVE #2 because it is streamlined and you are making me want a denim shirt so I can copy it ASAP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522610 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:57:00 +0000 Angie 522610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to mention that I like both #1 and #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522519 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:59:43 +0000 rae 522519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 the best - I think the longer jacket looks better over the skinnies. If you want to go nuts, you could tie a bright scarf muffler style to add a little color. Not masculine, but menswear-inspired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522514 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:57:48 +0000 Ginny 522514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see masculine , no way, you are too cute for that to happen! i like both and the scarf in 1 is a great color, but if I had to choose, i like #2 I think it is for the same reason as Shannon said, it gives a longer leaner line on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522513 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:57:34 +0000 Amy 522513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style, Rita. Every time you post, I end up with a big smile on my face. </p> <p>I'm surprising myself by saying this, because I usually love scarves, but I prefer the second version on you. It's more streamlined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522478 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:34:27 +0000 Nakidra 522478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both. You look powerful and confident! I dont think you look masculine at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522443 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:53:18 +0000 Abie 522443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. I think both jackets work well, but I love the scarf addition in the first one. I don't think they look too masculine because the pieces fit well and your shape comes through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522440 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:37:50 +0000 Kappy 522440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I honestly like them both. And you don't look the least bit masculine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522438 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:35:35 +0000 Isis 522438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like masculine looks on women, so maybe you won't like this suggestion.....but #2 would look great pushed a little more masculine with a long red or orange tie, or a long thin red/orange scarf knotted like a tie. Put it around your neck against your skin rather than the collar.</p> <p>You are so naturally feminine looking, it would be difficult for you to look masculine, and you certainly don't look like a workman!</p> <p>Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522408 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:11:25 +0000 texstyle 522408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a hard time choosing. I guess I'm not feeling the love for the denim on denim look - I mean, there are some that work okay, and these certainly aren't bad, but it still seems to work best (for me) only when the bottoms are very dark denim and the top is light. And when there is some feminine added touch. I have a polka dot chambray shirt that is a bit lighter and it seems okay with dark jeans but I think the added "girly" touch of the polka dots is what makes it work better for me. It is the *only* think in my closet with polka dots I should add so it's not like I'm into frill or anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522403 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:08:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 522403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Home Depot Girl! Love it! But you were WAY better looking than the contractors!!!</p> <p>I think both of these work but if you're forcing me to pick one, I would go with the second look. I find the longer jacket with the shirt makes you look so long and lean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522400 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:05:50 +0000 Meredith1953 522400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You so do NOT look masculine. You look darling in both and I really like that scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522397 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:03:43 +0000 Angie 522397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic! Urban and fab. </p> <p>There is nothing wrong with looking masculine - not that you do :). You are so pretty, smiley and bubbly Rita, nothing can ever take away from that with respect to your style. So rock on Home Depot Girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-takes-on-the-double-denim-formula#post-522393 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:00:42 +0000 modgrl 522393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am feeling a little bit masculine in this outfit today, I guess it didn't help that I had to stop at home depot this morning and this was also the uniform of choice for the contractors. The jacket in the first trial felt too short so I went with the longer bf jacket in two. Please vote for you favorite and tell me why you think it works or not.</p> <p>Yay: first try<br /> Nay: second try</p> <p>Update: Something didn't feel right about either of these. I added bright cognac boots and a natural belt. These seemed to pull the look together for me. </p>
