LOVE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1612060 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 22:57:44 +0000 unfrumped 1612060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, they seem fine to me! I think that outfit&nbsp;1 is so stylish, though, and fabber on you.<br />But it would be "too much" for my work environment, so at times I wonder if part of my work style goal is a form of blah? ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1612055 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 22:41:34 +0000 Sal 1612055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes concur with the above opinions. In theory I love classic trousers but I struggle to make them work. I actually think you need to embrace the classic aspect with a silk shirt and stunning pumps to make them work best. But that is not your main style.</p> <p>I love 1 in particular- looks fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1612046 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 22:19:49 +0000 Brooklyn 1612046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that F21 jacket. You inspired me to conduct a search and recover mission through the F21 store to find something similar. Mission NOT accomplished. Oh well, you look great anyhow. I agree no 1 and 2 are superior to no 3. I would try no 3 with a shorter top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1612038 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 22:03:35 +0000 catgirl 1612038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The more I think about it, the more I just don't like these pants on me.&nbsp; They feel utterly blah.&nbsp; My sister bought the same ones - she has a curvier figure and they look fantastic on her.&nbsp; Oh well, live and learn.&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks, ladies!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1612021 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 21:31:38 +0000 Anonymous 1612021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree - first and second outfits are fantastic. Love the printed fluttery tunic too. &nbsp;I don't know what you do professionally, so am curious why the moto jacket outfit would be "too much" for an admin day. &nbsp;</p> <p>The third outfit seems too conservative for you - and I totally know what you mean about classic fit pants feeling frumpy. I am having major, major difficulty finding a pair of interesting black trousers that are not just a straight dress pant. &nbsp;That aren't $600 . &nbsp;I have become obsessed with this issue and it's driving me nuts. Maybe I need to chill out until they just magically appear one day. Anyways - top and pants #3 need different partners for them to look more "you". Wear the ponte moto with those pants, for example. &nbsp;I know though - once frumpy, always frumpy in my mind. I feel you :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1612016 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 21:13:50 +0000 shedev 1612016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the VC pants. Maybe try the UWP sweater.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1612014 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 21:08:48 +0000 Mirjana 1612014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #2,&nbsp; and agree with Aziraphale for #3 about top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1611942 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 18:03:12 +0000 Anonymous 1611942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was excited to see how an Urban Warrior Princess does pearls. &nbsp;How could it be anything other than wonderful?</p> <p>I am going to agree with you. &nbsp;I am so used to seeing you in more streamlined bottoms that these "classically" styled pants threw me for a loop. &nbsp;They are great, but I don't think they rise to your usual standard. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1611941 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 18:00:37 +0000 Aziraphale 1611941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfits #1 and 2 = slam dunk. Fantastic!&nbsp;</p> <p>Outfit #3 -- I don't think the pants are frumpy, but the are more classic -- and less "cool", for lack of a better word -- than your usual skinny pants. Why don't you try them with a different shape top? How about a cropped boxy top?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1611936 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 17:54:57 +0000 rachylou 1611936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like you have a little fox! I admit the last outfit seems to be missing that touch of you. A more UWP top maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1611934 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 17:54:10 +0000 catgirl 1611934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They will be a year old in a month... I'm not sure how much bigger they will get.&nbsp; They are at least part Maine coon but they are quite petite, though furry.&nbsp; There are just two of them but it seems like a hundred - there seems to be a kitten everywhere I look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1611931 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 17:49:32 +0000 Sara L. 1611931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white pearls on the black shirt in #3.&nbsp; I think the pants look fine but I know what you mean about some trouser styles feeling frumpy and boring.&nbsp; #1 and #2 are great.&nbsp; I love the thigh high boots. </p> <p>Are they still kittens?&nbsp; Will they get bigger? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uwp-formula-pearls-and-struggle-with-pants#post-1611929 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 17:46:12 +0000 catgirl 1611929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) The best short indoor topper I have is this old F21 ponte moto - it's one of those F21 finds that far exceeds the usual low quality of the store.&nbsp; I've paired it here with an EF tunic, Lysse suede leggings, and Shannon's boots.&nbsp; In reality, I won't be wearing this topper to work as I think it's a bit much even for an admin day.&nbsp; But I could easily throw it on for after-work activities.&nbsp; </p> <p>2) H &amp; M tunic (just saw they have more patterns now), ponte skinnies, OTK boots.&nbsp; Bonus kitten checking out the fluttery hem!</p> <p>3) Vince Camuto pants from NAS, BR tunic from consignment, twisted pearls.&nbsp; I didn't love this outfit, primarily because of the way the pants fit.&nbsp; I would say they have a classic fit, which feels frumpy to me.&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; A second kitten is growing out of my leg here.</p> <p>All feedback welcome!</p>
