I like to use a colorblocked bag in black, tan, and brown with my leopard booties. See find below for bag and similar booties.<br /> 2: What Suz said.

Off to hunt for a camel bag tomorrow...</p> <p><b>Kiwigal</b> - I hadn't thought of the cow bag for the first outfit, but that's a good idea, thanks. Those are good points about #9 which is definitely a work in progress. It works well with just the navy sweater, no underlayer, so the idea of a shorter or column of color top is worth playing with.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Bonnie G</b> and <b>Xtabay</b>!</p> <p><b>Smittie,</b> I've been trying for modern, and it's been a gradual learning process. &nbsp;I like white footwear with white jeans too, kinda lengthens things.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Aliona</b>, I'll tuck that shirt, or try something different.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632858 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 23:56:20 +0000 Anonymous 1632858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the way fab and gorgeous.&nbsp; I love it all!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632755 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 19:46:01 +0000 Bonnie 1632755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of these outfits - #5 is probably my favorite but they're all great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632753 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 19:42:59 +0000 rabbit 1632753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh oops, <b>Alaskagirl</b>, the red sweater is the merino TJ Maxx one in my finds of my original post. &nbsp;The navy is from Forever 21 and is that kind of knitted silky fabric strip kind of sweater (don't know what it's called, but has the advantage of not piling and stretching back into shape or however you place it easily). &nbsp;I think it's this one below:</p> <p>They both are cropped to belt length and have little side slits and sleeves that push up well though. </p> <p>The orange sleeveless is from Forever21 too and it's kind of a heavy woven material. &nbsp;It says dry clean only but I'm going to very carefully hand wash in ice water probably...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632747 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 19:36:13 +0000 catgirl 1632747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually was asking about the red and navy top you've layered over the white shirt!

You look amazing in all the lovely bold colours and you have the best footwear. I seriously covet those leopard booties. In #1 I think both bags work well with your outfit, but a light/warm camel bag would also look great with your booties. I also think all bag choices look good in #8, but I do have a minor preference for the cow print. I think #9 works fine to my eye, but I Shevia's idea for a silk shirt under the sweater is really good if you aren't fond of the crinkles. </p> <p>Thanks for treating us to some fab sartorial eye candy! Please post more :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632734 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 19:18:07 +0000 rabbit 1632734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b> - yep, I'm on the lookout for a camel bag. I tried cognac, but it didn't really work from a distance with the boots -- sometimes I can get very OCD about color matching.</p> <p>Aw thanks so much <b>Sterling, Momo, Joyce B,</b>&nbsp;<b>oolagirl, Mochi, Runs with Scissors, Peri,</b> and <b>lyn67</b>, I'm blushing.</p> <p><b>SecretSquirrel</b> - good point about #9, I actually need to tuck/fashion tape the orange shell up or it is as long as the shirt tails and I tucked it too high, and with too much of an inverse curve for the photo. I'll play around with the orange a bit more, including over a different white top and if it doesn't work, just wear the navy sweater.</p> <p><b>missvee </b>- the cow bag would be good with the blush outfit, thanks, I'll try that.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Vix</b> - I'll try a silk shirt or other toppers with the skirt outfit. For #2 I'm not sure it would work as much if it wasn't equestrian and didn't have a bit of a form-fitting buff jodhpur call-back. It didn't work with the shirt tails out and no jacket when I tried it though.</p> <p><b>alaskagirl </b>- the short sleeved white shirt I've layered is a Brooks Brothers. I found it at a thrift store, although it's still on sale in the find I collected below. It's a size smaller than my usual, so I need to wear a slightly flattening bra with it, but I like the sharp collar and wanted to try the kind of layering <b>Viva</b> and <b>citygirldc</b> pull off so well with white shirts. Sleeveless or long-sleeve work better for layering I think, I need to scrunch the sweater sleeves or else the short sleeve underlayer is kind of obvious. &nbsp;Though I like the cuffed short sleeve to wear without a topper when it's warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632717 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 18:53:46 +0000 Anonymous 1632717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So wonderful to see your outfits again, Rabbit! I love all of these, though I am completely bowled over by look 5. WOW. Awesomely fab. I've always admired your great eye for colour and proportion. </p> <p>To answer your bag questions: I prefer your first bag in look 1, but agree that warm camel would look great too. </p> <p>I think any of the bags work in 8, but admit to a strong preference for the first one -- it's just so fab with the combo of those shoes and the white skinnies.</p> <p>LOVE the blue booties in #3 and agree they're fab with the plaid jeans. </p> <p>I vote to tuck the shirt in look 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632705 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 18:41:36 +0000 Anonymous 1632705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! All so fabulous and really I can't pick a favorite.<br /> I think the pastel experiment was super successful. It's a lot of fun that one.<br /> Also enjoying the white footwear with the white jeans. That seems really current.<br /> Finally, I might have mentioned this before, but your orange/red bag is such a statement and really adds a lot of character to your outfits.</p> <p>I don't know what your style statement is but it certainly feels very modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632698 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 18:33:40 +0000 catgirl 1632698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief! You need to post more - these have a perfect simplicity without being basic and your proportions and colors are just perfect. What are those two short sleeve cropped tops you've layered? The Napoleonic look is dashing and romantic but still fits in. And I am so inspired by the white skinnies with strong colors on top. Just wow all around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632690 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 18:26:57 +0000 lyn67 1632690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This post proves me once again, the right pieces will make all the difference (even if generally simple and minimal-but each with a little twist of a kind).

[Still not sure how you managed to pull off looking so leggy in #2 given the high-contrast on either end of the white pants, geez.]</p> <p>Agree you have a great bag collection and the choices all seem fine to me; I'd pick by mood when you're undecided.</p> <p>Re # 9 -- Also agree since the wrinkling is bothering you (it'd bother me, too) a smoother shirt is worth a try. Sometimes there's not much to be done with a thin knit other than let the idea go or embrace the show-through...they telegraph everything.</p> <p>Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632588 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 14:58:26 +0000 Peri 1632588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Mochi...WOW!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632585 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 14:54:55 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1632585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these looks! &nbsp;They look crisp and intentional, and perfectly balanced. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632582 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 14:50:10 +0000 Mochi 1632582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE HOW YOU DRESS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632579 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 14:48:22 +0000 Angie 1632579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer all round.

I just showed my dh the pics, and told him that I need to have all of it. &nbsp;I am a high waisted pear, so I will have to make length modifications, but I am so inspired by your amazing style.</p> <p>I would change nothing. Nothing!! Love every single piece, and you look FAB </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632518 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:54:55 +0000 kerry 1632518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rabbit, I love all of your looks here. I think you're right that a warm camel bag would look great with these gorgeous boots. Not a lot of white thigh and butt in the equestrian look. I'm sure the more tonal outfits look great too but I like this high contrast. These white jeggings fit you beautifully and the contrast just highlights the beautiful feminine curve. That MAC red lipstick is gorgeous with your colouring. All the bags in #8 work but I like the cow bag best for the size and the matching contrast. in #9 I'd like to see the shirt tucked with this sweater and/or the navy sweater in #7 with the shirt tails out. Does this skirt sit on your waist?</p> <p>This is a beautiful lesson in mixing and matching for a great variety of looks. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632513 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:52:08 +0000 Suz 1632513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look absolutely stunning in every one of these. Feast for the eyes and a true inspiration. Like Shevia, I'm awed by how many great outfits you can make from a few pieces. I also love the simplicity and strength of these combined with touches of humour. This is great style! I can see that you give your ensembles and the whole wardrobe so much thought and there is careful planning behind each outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 is killer flawless. I like both bags here but agree a luggage or cognac bag would also work great.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is beautiful. I understand what you are feeling -- I've had that feeling, too, when I tried tall boots with white jeans -- but it doesn't <b>look</b> like that from the outside.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 -- Beautiful with the red trench!! Those are great booties, by the way.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 -- the high contrast and double leopard here is just stunning on you.&nbsp;<br />Great new blouse, too! (Inner grumbling...my local consignment won't even <b>take</b> silk items or sell them...)</p> <p>#5 does look vaguely Napoleonic. Like it with both booties.&nbsp;</p> <p>#6 I might have to copy when we get warmer weather &nbsp;-- I have the pieces for this! :)</p> <p>#7 -- stunning as is!&nbsp;</p> <p>#8 -- I like the orange or cow print bag here. AND, I want to come bag shopping with you one day -- you have the best ones, and I am seriously bag challenged.&nbsp;</p> <p>#9 -- what Shevia said. Try with a silk underlayer. It will work!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632507 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:44:29 +0000 Joyce B 1632507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your outfits are fabulous, the artist in you really shows. I like how you paired both animal prints in the booties and coat.<br /> I love to see your outfits as they are unique and very inspiring. Keep on posting, Rabbit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632506 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:43:32 +0000 Tanya 1632506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Rabbit, you look absolutely fantastic in each and every outfit!&nbsp; High contrast really suits you, and I am humbled to have inspired #6.<br />For #1, cognac/camel bag would be great, but so would orange or red.<br />In #8, I like both the orange and cow bag equally well, they give a different vibe but work superbly with the outfit.<br />I like #9 as is, but if the wrinkling bothers you, try a silk/silky blouse under the shirt instead of cotton shirt.&nbsp; Silky materials tend to lay flatter and shows up less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632501 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:34:59 +0000 Carla 1632501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 is stunning, and my favourite of a great collection. I like the dark blue boots best with this combination. The red trench in #3 is brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632495 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:01:21 +0000 Jaime 1632495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely wonderful and inspiring outfits. I am completely fascinated by how you take a few colors and pieces and come up with so many interesting and fabulous looks. <br />Definitely like the idea of a warm camel bag with the animal print boots but they also work with your orange bag I think. Where you are concerned about the wrinkling of the top showing through you might try the silk top as the under layer. I love the cowprint bag with #8 but all three work extremely well. You were made for high contrast but the pink and white outfit is a fun change. #2 looks great without the jacket - just depends on how you feel.&nbsp;<br />You are the remix Queen for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-and-high-contrast#post-1632492 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 11:56:16 +0000 Momo 1632492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.

You really have a great sense of style and proportion. I like the animal print bag best in #8 and I'm wondering how it would look with the blush outfit (#6) for a change. </p>
