And you know it did. I need to recover.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372552 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 14:07:24 +0000 christy 1372552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I LOVE #1, but that's probably no surprise!! I think it looks great with the pointy toe shoes and the fluid top - this is something I could wear to work easily on a non-suit day. How about a fun white/cream belt with hardware to toughen it up a bit more? I think it's great as is.&nbsp;</p> <p>And #3 is stunning. Love everything about it. I've been eyeing that cape (it was in Angie's finds recently, right?) and now seeing how you've styled it, it might need to make its way into my closet. LOVE the booties too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372546 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 14:00:00 +0000 Elizabeth P 1372546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all three of these.&nbsp; Maybe because you're wearing all "my" colours :).&nbsp; #1 may be classic, but I think the fluid tee and the pointed toes keep it current.&nbsp; And that CAPE!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372544 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 13:55:25 +0000 Jjsloane 1372544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about 3. I am partial to 2, but agree with a few of Aida's suggestions to tweak. 1 looks nice, but not wow and pales to 3. Did you say booties in 3 are navy? Details? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372538 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 13:50:27 +0000 Debbie 1372538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One is fantastic and 3 is stunning. That cape thingy is beautiful.<br /> The booties were a great purchase. I bet you look stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372533 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 13:28:22 +0000 Beth Ann 1372533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a terrific eye for outfit creation.&nbsp; #1 is classic, yes, but an outfit like this, with an updated and minimal white tee and updated pointy toes, is always a great choice.&nbsp; #2 is a great volume on volume casual look --- I think the sleeves would look terrific scrunched.&nbsp; #3 --- this on is a real standout.&nbsp; Crisp and polished, with an unexpected twist in that amazing (and practical) cape.<br />I seem to remember a leather cape............</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372481 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 11:21:25 +0000 Anonymous 1372481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I&nbsp;rather like #1. love the pointy toes peeping out from under your hems, though&nbsp;a slightly different jacket style&nbsp;may ramp up the modernity, as others have suggested. #2 looks a good casual outfit, I would also prefer a narrower roll I think. #3 is lovely! That's a fab cape!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372474 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 10:43:06 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1372474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I skipped internet time last night so am just seeing this now.</p> <p>I really like #1 but I suspect that is no surprise. &nbsp;I would like to see it with a jacket that has some angular lines like a moto as well but the pants and t fit very nicely and it is a good base for a fab outfit that could easily be changed up with shoes and topper.</p> <p>#2 looks like a good casual outfit but the top area of the top looks a touch off to me. &nbsp;I think it is just the pic though. &nbsp;I like the heavier belt with it and can see this with a chunky booty too.</p> <p>#3 is outstanding. &nbsp;I love the layers and the cape. &nbsp;I have always wanted to be able to wear an outfit like this. &nbsp;Can you feel the envy??? &nbsp;This is definitely a repeater. &nbsp;Gush over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372408 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 04:23:51 +0000 Neel 1372408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That cape outfit is all kinds of awesome! Love the column of white under it and now I am craving a cape :D</p> <p>1 looks modern classic to me. I do not know enough of your style to comment if it is too conservative for you. But I really love it!</p> <p>I agree with Aida's thoughts on #2. I love your belt BTW ^_^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372405 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 04:03:37 +0000 Jaime 1372405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm, not sure I have anything new to add. What Aida said? I don't love the sleeves in #1 (on me I mean) but the drapiness looks good, #2 is good but I would also like a less chunky roll, #3 is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372360 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 02:40:09 +0000 Anonymous 1372360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Can it get any better than your cape outfit ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372355 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 02:33:45 +0000 Anonymous 1372355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cape and the cute key cufflinks in #3! I also like #1 a lot, and, to me, the top under the jacket looks fluid enough that it makes things seem pretty updated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372346 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 02:18:11 +0000 Deborah 1372346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!&nbsp; and I cannot believe you are still chopping off your gorgeous head:)</p> <p>Fabulously brilliant outfits.&nbsp; In fact I am going to copy #1 and see how that works for me:)&nbsp; Now, I realise the cape is new BUT if you ever tire of it, you know who to call!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The cape outfit is stellar.&nbsp; I am studying everyone's white jeans outfits&nbsp; at the moment and this one is getting pinned.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372341 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 02:06:29 +0000 bj1111 1372341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@jackiec: they are bp trolley at nordies--see finds. &nbsp;they are black but read ink blue. &nbsp;super love.</p> <p>@rabbit: they are "<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CIEE13I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1">double grommet genuine leather casual belt</a>" (lol)--see finds.</p> <p>@Suz: that coat has been in your possession longer than it has been in mine...i think it is _yours_ ! &nbsp;i'm glad someone is using it, and using it well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372325 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 01:51:21 +0000 Suz 1372325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I am swooning over #3. That is amazing on you! <b>WOW!!&nbsp;</p> <p></b>(And now that I have glimpsed your pretty face I know it's even better IRL than here.)&nbsp;<br /><b><br /></b>That outfit is evidence, if any were needed, that clean lines, graphic contrast, and interesting shapes are really all it takes to make a spectacular outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 is classic, yes, but also very nice. Can those pants take a belt, or no? I like it better with the jacket because it adds a bit of texture.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am partial to sized up J. Crew toothpick jeans, too. I had a pair that I wore so much last year, I actually wore holes in them!&nbsp;</p> <p>BTW, I wore your coat tonight! Every time I put it on (often) I am more grateful. It seems to work perfectly. So, again -- many thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372322 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 01:49:17 +0000 rabbit 1372322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With #1 you look quite sharp, but playing with a different jacket or bag in a different color&nbsp;could give the look more edge if you wanted.</p> <p>#2 looks comfy and classic&nbsp;and I like Aida's suggestions, plus maybe having the shirt drape out more at the sides. &nbsp;Do you have a link to the belt?&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 is completely awesome from the white collar points peeking out to the key cuff links. &nbsp;So much love.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372321 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 01:49:04 +0000 jackiec 1372321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG That third outfit is stellar.

I'm really enjoying it so far. Not that I wasn't mixing them before, but now I'm consciously trying to have <i>both</i> old and new (versus primarily new, especially over summer).</p> <p>#1 does strike me as quite classic. Would be a bit less so with a biker type leather jacket, and further less so if that jacket was in a shade other than black. This jacket is nice though, would be fun to pair with distressed bottoms for weekend to add the classic element. The top looks fluid enough to me.</p> <p>#2 looks like a good errands outfit, though I'd like to see less chunky hem rolls on the denim. I'd also like to see the sleeves pushed up to echo the amount of exposed skin at the ankle (+sass).</p> <p>#3 is super! The new vest/cape thingie looks fab, and the cufflinks adding a dressy element is extra fun. Are those the navy booties from SSIF? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372291 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 00:42:51 +0000 Sveta 1372291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I miss to see your pretty face, Ruth!<br />Love the cape on you - I understand you all "caped out" in Seattle so Angie had to put her foot down Anyway this one looks sharp on you and love it with white.<br />#1 does look a bit traditional for you but lovely anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legs-capes#post-1372281 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 00:24:16 +0000 bj1111 1372281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, not at the same time. &nbsp;inspired by Aida, i will be wearing old clothes with new clothes to figure out what i want to keep after a massive purge where i got rid of about 40% of my closet. &nbsp;i'm also making an effort to get "dressed" even when i work from home or on the weekend, so i wear more of my clothes.</p> <p>#1: to work. br wide leg pants (super old), jcrew&nbsp;white cashmere tee (new), bebe moto with quilted shoulders (old), patent pointy pumps (super old), br satchel (new)<br />this outfit feels very conventionally classic. &nbsp;i think i need a more oversized top / jacket to make more current.</p> <p>#2: to weekend errands. &nbsp;sweatshirt (hand-me-up), jcrew toothpicks in 2 sizes up (new), amazon navy belt (new), blue suede slip on sneaks (new).<br />very comfy</p> <p>#3: to work. at cape/vest thingy (new, ssif), white skinnies (old), br&nbsp;french cuff button down (super old), cufflinks (old)<br />best part--playing with the zippers</p> <p>thoughts? tweaks?</p> </p>
