WIW: Plaid and Stripes - YouLookFab Forum

I wore this for the school run today. You have seen all of the items before and the BF plaid shirt has been one of my best purchases of last summer. I love it to bits and wore it almost every week since I bought it!

I am wearing BF plaid shirt (Newlook/last summer), skinny BF jeans (Levis/last summer), pointy toe flats (Zara/last summer) and the striped clutch (old)

I wonder if the proportions are ok in this outfit. I tried tucking, but this jeans has a mid rise and I have gained some weight too. I looked lumpy. Didn't quite have enough time to troubleshoot, so just left the shirt untucked :/

What do you all think? Should I have tucked? Or may be worn skinnies ... hmm.... Sorry for the face x) ... I just couldn't make it behave today! x

i think this shirt calls for being untucked. and love the pop of red shoes, and picking up the blue in the shirt with the stripe in the clutch. YLF

I think the proportions look good!

I think rolled just a little more to show your ankles would look better! I like the shirt untucked, and I always like seeing those shoes on you.

I think it looks fine as is. Agree with Ceit that another roll or two might add something.

I like it untucked. And agree that the pant hems could be rolled a bit more. Really cute addition of stripes!

I like it untucked! Plus all the pattern mixing is great. So happy to see you posting again

I vote for untucked too. And how nice to have found an item that you love and is working hard for you.

FABULOUS.

I love the juxtaposition of the boyish plaid with the pretty shoes.

Thank you all for your comments! And sorry to have posted and ran. Time got away from me.

So one more roll it is and untucked shirt

*waving to jackiec* You will see a lot more of me ... until you get bored

I am with Angie. I think you look 100% fantastic.

I also hear you on the weight. I, too, am up a few pounds. it makes things fit differently. But you look as beautiful as ever, please know that.

Works well untucked. Also liked the plaid plus pretty combination!

The shirttail hem of the shirt makes this work well to my eye. I love your shoes!

Thank you Suz, Shevia and Joy for your approval

Suzt - The holiday pounds I am glad my face looks healthier now, but ahem...the booty could do with some weight loss

I love the pattern/color mixing! I'd also probably either try rolling the jeans a little more or experiment with a skinnier version, just because I feel like for me a narrower silhouette or bare skin at the ankles might work best with the great pointy red shoes.

Looks great untucked and I love that your shoes match the colours in your shirt. It's a fun mix of boyish and feminine. Love it.

Another yay vote for untucked. That's the way I wear outfits like this. Cute bookending with the red shoes and red plaid!
