You have a STUNNING wardrobe and your KILLER style reflects it! :)</p> <p>Agree with <b>Gryffin</b>. Your outfits are always AMAZING.</p> <p><b>Outfit #1 </b>- the sock gap is less noticeable than you think, and certainly so in motion! The way you finished off the look with bag, jacket and hat is SUBLIME. LOVE!!! Sooooo stinking cute.&nbsp;</p> <p>That old burgundy moto is a major winner! As is the burgundy maxi coat. I love it with those incredible Theory boots! 20 out of 10 :)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx4-more-dark-romance-with-two-obg-outfits#post-2307510 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 15:46:48 +0000 Tanya 2307510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gryffin, no need to apologize!&nbsp; &nbsp; I think we both share the love for such boots regardless who makes them.</p> <p>Dee and Jenn, thank you!&nbsp; I love playing with texture.&nbsp; Jenn, I do struggle with photos - my place never gets lots of good light.&nbsp; I try to take photos at the best time of the day, now against a white backdrop, lighten them afterwards, and it helps some, but a lot of them turn out far from clear.&nbsp; &nbsp;That is why I add the relevant Finds, so that the colors and textures are better represented.&nbsp; And yes, regarding the sock-gate, it is not the look I like on me.&nbsp; Wearing the right shoes with the right bottoms is of high importance for me, but I still get it very wrong from time to time, as evidenced by that outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx4-more-dark-romance-with-two-obg-outfits#post-2307500 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 14:51:40 +0000 Jenn 2307500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to tell from the photos, but seeing the Finds, I adore the amount of texture you've built into your outfits--shiny, silky, furry, luxe. Your coat and hat really add that vintage-y, dark romance final touch, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, LOVE those Chucks, although I do see why the sock-gap felt uncomfortable. It probably would have for me, too, although I really don't think it looks terrible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx4-more-dark-romance-with-two-obg-outfits#post-2307498 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 14:46:39 +0000 gryffin 2307498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry tanya, they are theory.&nbsp; I forget that theory actually makes shoes/boots and they were my first pair.&nbsp; But I love them because they are so versatile, comfortable and different!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx4-more-dark-romance-with-two-obg-outfits#post-2307491 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 14:17:17 +0000 Dee 2307491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab burgundy outfits, you’ve got some lovely pieces in your closet, especially love that burgundy coat and your houndstooth pants.</p> <p>I agree with the black socks, but those burgundy converse are still a great looking shoe for added edginess to an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx4-more-dark-romance-with-two-obg-outfits#post-2307486 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 13:39:39 +0000 Tanya 2307486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Gryffin!&nbsp; &nbsp;My tall burgundy lace-ups are actually by Theory, so they may not be the same as yours.&nbsp; &nbsp;Nevertheless, they sound quite similar, and I share your sentiments for them.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx4-more-dark-romance-with-two-obg-outfits#post-2307485 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 13:36:29 +0000 gryffin 2307485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya - all awesome looks but I'm crushing on your coach lug sole lace ups!!&nbsp; I have those boots in black, thank you god for sales, I adore those boots.&nbsp; So comfy and I always rack up compliments on them.&nbsp; So awesome you have them too!&nbsp; You look amazing as always!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx4-more-dark-romance-with-two-obg-outfits#post-2307483 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 13:25:30 +0000 Tanya 2307483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I continue with my Dark Romance theme.&nbsp; After last week of purple &amp;green, I was in mood for a change so this week was all about burgundy.&nbsp; Here are four outfits: the first one was worn earlier in the week for casual errands, the next two for the office, and the final one yesterday for a doctors appointment.&nbsp; I am more than happy wearing the same coat three days in a row, but won't do the same for shoes.&nbsp; Also wore the same watch with burgundy leather strap for all the outfits. The first and third include some OBG items.</p> <p>Outfit #1 (1-2): The OBG items here are the old cropped black sweater with faux fur texture and the lined burgundy Converse.&nbsp; I have had the sweater for probably close to 10 years.&nbsp; They were combined with cropped kick flare coated burgundy jeans, short burgundy puffer and burgundy cross body.&nbsp; &nbsp;After I got dressed, I realized that I strongly dislike the gap between pants and sneakers since the black socks were showing.&nbsp; These jeans are usually worn with higher shaft booties.&nbsp; I was in a hurry and did not have time to change, but I cringed the whole time so not doing this pant and shoe combo again.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Outfit #2 (3-5): I was going for Gothic theme of black velvet with a touch burgundy look for both work outfits.&nbsp; This one is based on black velvet suit that is not smooth velvet, but has snakeskin texture.&nbsp; It was combined with cream silk blouse with a little cutout, edgy black booties and burgundy wrap midi coat.&nbsp; I got this coat in the fall 2022 and it is already a workhorse.</p> <p>Outfit #3 (6-7):&nbsp; More Gothic theme, this time built around black two piece dress consisting of slip skirt and tie-neck top, with tall burgundy lace-up boots and ancient burgundy suede moto.&nbsp; &nbsp;The moto is the OBG piece, I suspect it is also close ~10 years old.&nbsp; Both the moto and the sweater from #1 are good examples for a certain category in my wardrobe: items that don' get worn much within the year (probably 5 -7 times), but are worn&nbsp; throughout many years so in the end they more than earn their keep.</p> <p>Outfit #4 (8-9): I was in the mood for something more contemporary so out came the ME+EM houndstooth pants (which have fun side slits not visible in my photos, but you can see in stock photo, #11) combined with black faux-leather H&amp;M shirt, that is a knockoff of an Alexander Wang (AW) shirt (#10) that was out of my budget. I completed the look with AW booties, the only item I own from the said designer, and the same burgundy coat. </p>
