Maybe add some interesting earrings? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-819015 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:13:42 +0000 MNsara 819015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun to see the split preferences on hosiery! So, I might try both over the next couple weeks.</p> <p>Thank you everyone for your input and great ideas for me to try!</p> <p>Susie &amp; BethAnn - definitely silver! And maybe a touch of it somewhere would balance (what I perceive as) the brightness of the BLUE.</p> <p>Angie - thanks for the descriptor (SUP) and the UP hair splitting I can't believe how thick I am at getting this, but the more I see and hear the differences called out, I'm slowly absorbing it -- and then I can put it to use to stay on track or deviate on purpose ;-)</p> <p>Vix &amp; AJ - It's funny but I think BLUE toes look even BLUER on me. If that makes any sense! BLUE with black pants -- too dramatic for me. BLUE with grey pants -- too bright of contrast. BLUE with denim -- wrong shades of blue together. But maybe it's like my foil coated SILVER sweater and I'll get over the beacon feeling after a few wearings </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-818164 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:07:32 +0000 Tina.b 818164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those booties are just great, will be so versatile. I like them with the nude hose, though it depends on the time of year and the event. You look lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-818151 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:59:10 +0000 rachylou 818151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mm. Angie is very smart, esp. about the tee peeking out. I also vote for the nude hose.</p> <p>I would have called the whole outfit UP, not SUP. To me, Sleek is slicker. But the tee tucked in makes a lot of difference in my mind.</p> <p>I find the blue booties dressy in an informal way, if that makes any sense. I wouldn't wear a necklace, but I'd wear a bracelet with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-818072 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:01:20 +0000 AJ 818072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see Angie has you all sorted out with your SUP outfit. </p> <p>You don't enjoy wearing these with skinnies or straight leg jeans? Jeans, winter coat, scarf/hat to match boots and Bob's your uncle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817974 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:20:49 +0000 Amy 817974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have those boots and every time I wear them I get loads of compliments. They're one of my favorite things...so I hope you'll keep them. The outfit looks great as-is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817972 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:17:16 +0000 ManidipaM 817972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll let wiser heads answer your questions and just say I found this a truly striking, happy-looking and flattering outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817969 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:12:51 +0000 kellygirl 817969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, Sara, I love this. It is simple and so stylish. I love the blue booties on you with the nude leg. The outfit looks great unembellished--very straightforward and effortlessly cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817962 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:04:04 +0000 Anonymous 817962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great! I do vote for the darker hose just because we really don't sport the look of bare legs in winter around these parts, so it looks a bit odd to me, like seasonally confused. However, I like both.</p> <p>As far as the style, I'm quite confused about that entire thing altogether, so I'm of no help there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817956 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:00:27 +0000 Beth Ann 817956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara:</p> <p>Love this. I like the idea of nude hose plus the peak of forearm with scrunched sleeves. If It's cold (and you do like up north), I second the idea of grey tights.</p> <p>What about a silver cuff for an accessory? I don't think an accessory is "needed," however. The blue itself is face framing.</p> <p>This look is sleek and very flattering, too. Gorgeous boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817955 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:00:00 +0000 Vix 817955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi MNsara --</p> <p>I see what you mean about the BLUE but also why you're drawn to them! Be prepared for people to compliment you when you wear those babies out and about.</p> <p>I'm with those who'd like to see grey or black tights to blur the contrast between skirt, leg, and shoe and create a nice sleek line. Remember you can always replace the skirt with pants and ease into the blue if needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817938 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:44:57 +0000 Suz 817938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Agree with Angie's advice here. I think it looks great with the nude hose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817924 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:36:48 +0000 Angie 817924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'd also need a slightly roomier top for Urban Prince - just to split hairs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817919 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:33:33 +0000 Anonymous 817919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great! Look at some of Shannon's looks for styling cobalt booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817918 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:33:13 +0000 MNsara 817918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Isis! Thanks for the scrunched sleeves reminder and the nude leg vote - gives me more options I guess!</p> <p>Thanks, Susie - It looks like I'll have an outfit ready for later this week?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817916 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:32:48 +0000 Susie 817916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it needs anything at the neck but if you want to add a necklace, silver would be my choice. </p> <p>I would prefer to see gray or black tights rather than the sheer black hose, which to me read more dressy than the rest of the outfit. </p> <p>Overall, I think it's a great look and I love the blue booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817915 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:32:09 +0000 MNsara 817915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jules - black hose and silver duly noted :-)</p> <p>Thanks, Angie - SUP really helps! That's definitely a direction I'd like to go! Makes me wonder if the skirt was replaced with slouchy trousers would it transition to Urban PRINCE?</p> <p>Dana - great ideas! Most days my torso accessory is my work id -- haha! But you've given me lots to work on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817913 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:29:34 +0000 Isis 817913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! The bootie are great!</p> <p>1) This works, venture out into the world! Not too dressy at all.<br /> 2) I like the nude hose best (with the sleeves pushed up as in #2--your bare arms bookend your legs.<br /> 3) Nothing else needed. I like the minimal look. Enough interest with the layers, dots, etc.<br /> 4) SUP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817908 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:25:58 +0000 Dana 817908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say keep the boots! They're cute and look comfy. I think you've got the start of a good outfit. </p> <p>First off, I would do grey tights. It softens the look a bit more than black and is less contrasting with the boots. </p> <p>Next, you definitely need an accessory for your torso. A scarf would be perfect. Think casual and cozy, not silky and dressy. If you just can't do a scarf, then several strands of long pearls or pearls and chains would work great. </p> <p>Perhaps a belt would dress it up a bit. With a belt, you can go simpler with the necklaces.</p> <p>You could also swap out the blue t for a collared blouse underneath your sweater ; however, I find blouses all scrunched under sweaters to be uncomfortable. </p> <p>Have fun experimenting...I wouldn't worry about being too dressed up for work.. You'll look and feel great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817907 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:25:19 +0000 Angie 817907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SUP. Very nice :)</p> <p>Great with the booties and I vote nude hose. Also, I'd make sure that the blue layering tee does not stick out from under the black pullover. Eliminate that high contrasting horizontal line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817906 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:24:54 +0000 Jules 817906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit. I think the black stocking tempers the BLUE effect. I don't think you need a necklace as there is enough interest in the outfit. But if you have something simple in silver that would be my choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw---is-this-okay-and-is-it-sup-up-or#post-817889 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:13:11 +0000 MNsara 817889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I bought these cobalt booties on a whim and everytime I try to wear them I feel they scream BLUE on my feet. I must wear or sell (too late to return), and this was the best I could come up with to tone them down. </p> <p>Questions for you all (notice my anal numbering!):</p> <p>1) Did it work? Can I wear this out? The tee and sweater dress it down, but the skirt is already dressier than I *need* for work.</p> <p>2) if okay to wear, wear it with nude hose or with sheet black hose (like the one leg in the 2nd pic)</p> <p>3) if okay to wear, the neck looks bare, but I'm a little weary of scarves, and not sure about a pendant. Do I need something? Any new ideas?</p> <p>4) does this style fit Urban Prince, Sleek Urban Princess, or anything with a name? I'm trying to hone in on this to help me cuz this outfit FEELS like me and feels good on.</p> <p>Thanks for looking, and any and all comments, ideas, suggestions, etc. </p>
