I love you in pink! Stripes make everything better! Lol.

I think the stripes suit you really well, as do those jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345636 Tue, 28 Nov 2023 13:16:11 +0000 Dee 2345636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for your feedback.<br /> Suntiger, Ket - yes you're right, stripes might not suit all body types and contrast levels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345608 Tue, 28 Nov 2023 01:47:59 +0000 Ket 2345608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so good in the stripes I love them on you. I'm also lower contrast and curvy, so stripes never work on me. But I love them so much on others. Nothing like a good Breton stripe shirt!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345576 Mon, 27 Nov 2023 17:24:23 +0000 Anonymous 2345576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second outfit most!<br /> I've never been much of a stripe wearer, they just don't fit my low contrast coloring and curvy shape. Will stay in my lane with my Asian prints! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345232 Wed, 22 Nov 2023 23:08:34 +0000 slim cat 2345232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't pick a favorite - all looks great! The whole look with jacket is so nice in pic #5 and #6! I love that you use variety of colors - like brown, purple, pink besides traditional black or navy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345166 Wed, 22 Nov 2023 00:03:25 +0000 Brooklyn 2345166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stripes suit you! And I like the trendy pairing with the slouchy jeans. No 1 is my fave.</p> <p>I love pattern! My faves are dark floral, tie dye, medallion prints and abstract prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345152 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 21:31:57 +0000 Irina 2345152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your jeans! I must visit Levi’s store to try some on.&nbsp;<div>My favorite pattern is stripes, too. I don’t wear enough probably but have at least one striped item for every season.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345150 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 21:20:17 +0000 Dee 2345150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Olive Green</b> - I haven’t really worn jeans in these lengths for quite awhile, I was used to slimmer jeans finishing just after the ankle. Its an adjustment figuring out the right type of footwear to go with them too.<br />&nbsp;<br /><b>Carol</b> Thanks for your feedback, glad you like the colour combinations<br />.<br /><b>AndiB</b> &nbsp;The jeans in photo 1 are Levis Low pro. I really like them, so comfortable and their actually mid-rise too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345133 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 18:40:18 +0000 Angie 2345133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Dee</b>, cutting layers into hair can be fabulous, or awful. It's a very fine line, and I get it. The style you have now is a lot more manageable - and my own hair reacts the same way ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345124 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 17:11:04 +0000 AndiB 2345124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love these, specially 1,and THOSE jeans! What brand are the first ones? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345101 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 12:00:16 +0000 Olive Green 2345101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both those jeans are good on you, your legs look extra long.&nbsp;<br />The high contrast stripes are really flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345079 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 03:09:11 +0000 Carol 2345079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow—those are so great. I love 4, 5 and 6–the colors, the turtleneck, the plaid/striped combo. The most original for me is the rose coat with beige stripes—I have not seen that before. </p> <p>I do love patterns…and will mix them like a random cocktail sometimes. I’m not even sure which is my favorite…I always love a Burberry plaid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345072 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 02:22:27 +0000 Dee 2345072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Runcarla</b> - Your comment made me laugh, great to see another happy stripes club member.<br /><b>SarahD8</b> - As obvious as it seems now, until you mentioned I hadn’t thought of plaid as just stripes in 2 directions, no wonder they usually work well together. &nbsp;<br /><b>Jaime</b> - Yep, for some patterns it really is just case by case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345068 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 01:09:22 +0000 Jaime 2345068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits - you wear stripes beautifullly! I like the pattern mix in #5 too. I like stripes and polka dots and some abstract prints and florals - but it is case by case with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345059 Mon, 20 Nov 2023 23:06:56 +0000 SarahD8 2345059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful looks! I am having trouble picking a favorite, but I especially like the saturated effect of the black in 1, the pattern mixing with the plaid (for what is plaid but stripes in two directions?) in 5, and the yummy gray-burgundy combo in 6.</p> <p>I do like stripes -- but very specifically Breton stripes in cool white and clear navy. My go-to patterns are fair isle and Liberty prints, the more the merrier!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345053 Mon, 20 Nov 2023 21:29:05 +0000 Carla 2345053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans in #1 are fab! &nbsp;Love your stripes! &nbsp;Box them up and send to me, pls! &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Signiture pattern: stripes! &nbsp;I like LARGE old fashioned florals and plaids too, but stripes rule!</p> <p>Signiture colour: red! &nbsp;I’m liking golden beige (just ‘cause it matches my hair at this time in my life) and powder blue (it’s a mood thing). &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Garment of the moment: probably my Kensie straight leg jeans</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345042 Mon, 20 Nov 2023 19:04:15 +0000 Cardiff girl 2345042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Nicely done!Great to see stripes being carried over into the winter and you layer with the best of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345034 Mon, 20 Nov 2023 18:31:02 +0000 Dee 2345034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b> - Thanks, I do have a pair of taupe booties, unfortunately they’re no longer comfortable for me. Boy, you have a keen eye too, even spotting my stripe socks, as well as my haircut.

I'm with you on loving stripes, <b>Dee</b>. One of my favourite patterns! <b>Inge</b> in our YLF Queen Stripe. It's just about the only pattern sweet Inge wears, and she rocks it like you do!&nbsp; :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Dee,</b> you wear your stripes with verve, ease, grace, and a fabulous honesty! A signature look. Please carry on!</p> <p>#1 is my KILLER fave! Excellent proportions! You wear a tucked top and belt with the best of them! Long cardigans too. Elegant on you.</p> <p>#3 is my next fave! Loving the striped socks peaking out from the vamps of your feet that match your top! Cheeky - and KILLER jeans!</p> <p>Plaids and stripes are yummy together!&nbsp;Your hair is looking super cute too! Have you tried grey and taupe boots or loafers to match your hair?</p> <p><u>To answer your question:</u> I'm a classic pattern person. Faves are polka dots, stripes, plaids, big florals, and animal patterns OF ANIMALS - not the skin, IYKWIM. And anything horsey.&nbsp;</p> <p>(Ignore the FIND - bug in the system. Can't get rid of it).&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2345011 Mon, 20 Nov 2023 15:01:38 +0000 Dee 2345011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Merwoman - </b>Thanks, I’m also a sucker for florals, but more of the ditsy variety.<br /><b>RobinF</b> - the jeans in photo 2 and 4 are Levis 90’s dad jeans. I loved to find a grey pair of loose fit corduroys too. The others jeans are Uniqlo (#3) and Levis Low pro (#1) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-stripe-a-thon#post-2344995 Mon, 20 Nov 2023 13:20:15 +0000 RobinF 2344995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why!

It helps me feel more polished and pulled together with their looser fit. </p> <p>I'm a cardigan/hoodie gal too, so I've experimented with a couple of different styles that I think work with each of my stripe/jean combos</p> <p>With temperatures dropping as winter approaches, I also included a couple of my outerwear outfits too.</p> <p>Stripes are my go-to pattern, I usually go for a max of 2 colours in my stripes just to keep things manageable for me colour-wise.</p> <p><i><b>Do you have a print, colour or item that is your favorite go-to?</b></i></p> <p>Happy to hear your feedback. </p>
