Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865936 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 01:04:50 +0000 Carla 1865936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top in #3 doesn't photograph well. Below is a pic taken up close with an iPhone! I wore the green striped socks, also. They don't show in pic #3 due to the angle, but a bit show in the gap between booties and pant hem.</p> <p>However, I'm getting the message loud and clear about button downs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865918 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 23:35:46 +0000 Aida 1865918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous and polished as every! Velvet loves you. #2 is brilliant on you (and clever, with the tie!). I think the two velvet pieces would definitely work together, especially since they'll read as different textures with the one being burnout. Not sure about whether it'll feel too dressy for work but could be fun for a party or night out for sure ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865881 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 21:44:27 +0000 Anonymous 1865881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pants with the shirt /self tie belt. What a great idea, and it adds such polish. Those are fantastic pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865875 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 21:26:23 +0000 jill58 1865875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is outstanding. I agree with Fashiontern that #3 needs some jewelry. Great jacket in #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865874 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 21:22:21 +0000 MsMary 1865874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great!

I was afraid that question would be next, and the answers in my head were way too complicated.</p> <p><b>Sisi</b>, thanks for providing another word for it. I looked up devore; it seems to be used in English as well. Nice to know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865807 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 16:55:41 +0000 karen13 1865807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love #2. All are great, but that blouse looks so good. I envy the way you wear button fronts. I’ve been looking for a good velvet t, fitted not so boxy as this years models seem to. But can’t seem to find a petite that looks as good as yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865788 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 16:09:24 +0000 Sisi 1865788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah,&nbsp;devoré ! &nbsp;Thanks Meredith! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865781 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:56:13 +0000 tanstaafl 1865781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the bow/belt in #2. Is this meant to be work as a tie with the shirt and you repurposed it?&nbsp; This was a great way to change up the look by using it as a belt instead! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865775 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:52:40 +0000 Meredith 1865775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The best way I can describe burnout is that part of the fabric is thin compared to the rest of the fabric. Examples in velvet and cotton below. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865774 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:49:39 +0000 Anonymous 1865774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Sterling, I now want some velvet pants. You have shown how versatile they can be. My favorite is #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865772 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:40:31 +0000 Sisi 1865772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Fashiontern</b>, thank you, but for some strange reason the first time I opened the post the part that describes the outfits was not visible, that's why I was not sure which was the "top". Same thing just happened with <b>Chris 987's </b>post.</p> <p>And now please ... what is burnout? &nbsp;:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865768 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:27:25 +0000 The Cat 1865768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very elegant. The embroidered jacket is adorable. And you look GORGEOUS in #2--the pussy bow tie used as a belt really emphasizes your great figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865763 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:21:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1865763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sisi, “top” usually refers to a shirt or blouse. “Toppers” are outer layers worn on top of other things, like cardigans or jackets. In this case, the “burn-out top” is the tee in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865757 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:10:32 +0000 Ginkgo 1865757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing!

I’m sure the sheen of the jacket and texture of the pants in 1 looks so rich in person. 2 is my favorite, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865734 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 14:09:09 +0000 Suz 1865734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look so elegant on you! I especially love #2. You were made for button front shirts -- really glad you are eking more wear from them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865726 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 13:52:24 +0000 Sisi 1865726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these pieces! The&nbsp;zipped jacket, the silver shoes, the tee. The pants seem to have a perfect fit. By&nbsp;"top" do you mean the jacket or the tee? (sorry, not English mother tongue here). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865722 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 13:45:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1865722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is definitely my favorite. It’s happy and elegant but not too formal. On #3, I feel like something’s missing. Maybe a necklace or belt?</p> <p>I agree with Robin that the silver shoes are great. Are you wearing a different pair in 2 &amp; 3, or is the light just hitting them differently?</p> <p>ETA: Sisi’s comment made me look again. I see now that #3 has velvet burnout I didn’t notice the first time through. Strike my earlier comment. I bet this is elegant and awesome irl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865717 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 13:22:57 +0000 RobinF 1865717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these. The pants look great with your silver shoes peeking out and I love them with the shirt in pic #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwmore-daytime-velvet#post-1865716 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 13:15:17 +0000 Carla 1865716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wide leg velvet trousers are working out very well. They are as easy and comfortable as sweat pants, but work appropriate on cold grey days. The velvet burnout top is ancient, but I still love it. I’m tempted to wear the velvet top and bottoms together, but it seems too ‘dressy’ for work. Maybe for an evening out? </p> <p>#1 Peach lace tank, velvet trousers-Winners, satin embroidered jacket-Zara, Pewter pointy toe flats-Halogen/Nordstroms</p> <p>#2 Navy button down-BR, Black booties-Town Shoes</p> <p>#3 Velvet burn out top, cuffed ankle pants-Reitmans, black booties-Town Shoes</p> <p>I like how the pussy bow tie used as a belt in #2 elongates the torso with the high waist trousers.&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks for looking!&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
