Your resources sound promising. I'd put on the good pearls and then double/triple/whatever looks good to you the flapper pearls and see what you think. I think it just has to have enough presence to bookend the boots. So prob not one strand of wee pearls but prob don't need gobs and gobs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286788 Tue, 18 Oct 2022 21:41:33 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2286788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How many strands is a pile, and how much like real pearls do they have to look? I have one elegant strand of good pearls, and a long (think flapper girl) string of fun fakes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286627 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 21:18:22 +0000 SarahD8 2286627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the contrast between the Chanel-esque cardi and the white combat boots! Super cool juxtaposition.</p> <p>I also really like the similar textures of the cardi and pants. That combination can carry the outfit, as others are also saying.</p> <p>The necklace seems a bit small and wan in comparison— to my eye it doesn’t really stand up to the rest of the outfit. (I’m sure it would be lovely in a different context!)</p> <p>Just for fun, you could try a pile of pearls maybe! Play up the Chanel reference and bookend the white of the boots. That would kick the punk/ladylike juxtaposition up another notch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286617 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 19:05:42 +0000 LaPed 2286617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool textures/patterns. I like the white boots the best! They really pick up the white in the cardigan nicely. Loafers are good too, but solidly in classic territory. I don't think you're a "fashion sneaker" person, but I bet a white-soled sneaker would look great too. I don't think you need the necklace or the belt, but that tends to be my approach to styling these days: RAA (Remove All Accessories).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286611 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 17:48:47 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2286611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286608 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 17:41:19 +0000 Angie 2286608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do!&nbsp;</p> <p>I see a scarf instead of a necklace. I prefer the streamlined simplicity sans belt and necklace of #7- let's the pattern mixing do the talking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286604 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 17:30:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2286604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, do you like 7 more than 2? They’re the same except for the belt &amp; necklace. Maybe I needed to follow CC’s advice? Neat idea to try cutting these pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286601 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 17:10:46 +0000 Angie 2286601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #7 best! Super cute! :)</p> <p>I like how the white boots pick up the white of the topper. Pulled together and interesting. I see a scarf in that outfit too. Adds a bit of dramatic drape, looks Euro, and keeps the chill out when you bike.&nbsp;</p> <p>Maybe you can cuff the pants in #5 so that you can see your fun socks?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286588 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 16:38:05 +0000 Anonymous 2286588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn’t see the two different colors of shoes on my phone. Sorry about that. I like both shoes and boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286546 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 09:15:59 +0000 Sally 2286546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the tweed. It’s a jacket that you could dress up with but it looks fab with the puffer too. Great look with the trousers and boots…quite trendy but also has a classic element to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286543 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 08:58:57 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2286543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the helpful comments! </p> <p>Synne and Sal, I agree with you that the navy and black shoes were a bit more conservative than I want to go. </p> <p>I wore the white boots, but no belt or jewelry. It looked fine, but with nothing “lurking” it felt kind of bland to me, even though I like the interplay of pattern/texture in the pants &amp; cardi. </p> <p>Nikki and Irina, I shall have a look through my jewelry chest for other necklaces, am already wearing this one shorter than it was designed for. </p> <p>A belt was surprisingly tricky, because the loops aren’t very big. </p> <p>The cardi and jacket were on and off all day, depending on temperature. </p> <p>Synne, glad to see you again! I’m just starting to work on my winter style, similar to what I did with warm weather looks a couple summers ago, have done one WIW collection so far, just 3 outfits, one of which will make you roll your eyes &amp;/or snort laugh. Please stick around! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286526 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 05:13:37 +0000 Synne 2286526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5 and 6 is surprisingly conservative for you. I am intrigued! I like the addition of unexpected footwear in 7. Lurking quirk? Great sets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286522 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 03:39:49 +0000 Sal 2286522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both jackets - I think the white boots are super fun and more edgy - but the black also work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286517 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 02:33:02 +0000 Anonymous 2286517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both shoes. I would select based on weather and activity. Adding to Irina’s suggestion, sometimes I change the length of a necklace for different outfits if there are multiple spring rings. Cool belt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286502 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 00:10:10 +0000 Irina 2286502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe a round shape necklace would look more harmonious with necklines of the top and cardigan ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/workshopping-this-outfit#post-2286498 Sun, 16 Oct 2022 22:59:31 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2286498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fiddling around with accessories for the pants, cardi, and T-shirt. What do you think of different shoe, jewelry, belt options? I tried navy loafers, black oxfords, and white boots. Also, I realized partway through the day that the pants aren’t just black &amp; white—there’s also a reddish thread running through them.—horizontal in this picture, vertical irl. Might have to do something with that in the future. </p>
