  You are so cute! This looks like a fine winter outfit to me!

  This is a great neutral outffit! We'll give you points towards the neutrals challenge. ;)
  I love the way you fearlessly mix patterns. That looks like a soft cozy sweater and eye-catching scarf. Nice!

  You look cute and cozy as well as stylish. The scarf really adds something to the outfit.

  Claire: I'm so glad, now I am part of the neutrals gang too ;) I feel funny doing neutrals and not spicing it up in some way, hence the pattern mixing - so glad you like it :)

  Joy: Thank you! :)

  Love the patterned sweater and patterned scarf mix! I wish I could do it that well!! Your outfit looks perfect for a cozy winter weekend, which we're definitely having here in New England.

  You look beautiful Kirti! Love the pattern mixing too. Awesome!

• Kirti replied 12 years ago

  Thank you Debby! And yes, it is freezing here as well!

  Meredith: Thank you :)

  This is a perfect casual look Kirti - you've got nice pattern mixing going on and your proportions are spot on. I also love how you tuck your skinnies into booties and it works fabulously!

• Kirti replied 12 years ago

  Thanks Shannon! It is only after joining YLF that I've become mindful of proportions and it really makes a difference!

  Kirti -- You are such a beautiful young woman! I like the sweater, scarf and jeans but to be perfectly honest I am not a fan of tucking skinnys into short boots as I think it truncates the leg line. I would prefer tall boots in grey or brown. Or (narrow ankle) booties with the jeans pulled over them. :-)

  However my observations seem to be in the minority. :-)

  Cocolion: I really appreciate your honesty :) these boots aren't too great for wearing under pants and I don't own any other boots, so these will have to do for now, I guess. I will keep your advice in mind the next time I'm boot shopping (next autumn)! Thanks :)

  Kirti, I appreciate you being a good sport about my honest feedback. Sometimes I wonder what the best thing is to do. And it's so hard when you only have typewritten words to convey thoughts, not expressions or tones.

  Anyway, there are a lot of narrow ankle booties/shoeties like this on sale right now, (enabling you, he he). Or you can wait until next season when you have fresh styles.

  Cocolion: I know! It is so easy to get misunderstood on the internet as opposed to talking to someone face to face! I don't have a budget for shoes at the moment, I recently bought my black heeled oxfords and my Clarks oxfords... so now I'm going to save for spring/summer sandals and wait it out for boots :)

  This is an adorable look. I'm going to make an out-there suggestion per Cocolion's comment - what if you cuff the skinnies to just above the top of the booties?

• Kirti replied 12 years ago

  Una: I will try that the next time I wear them :) Thanks!
