Great to see your pictures!</p> <p>I love your first outfit with the embroidered skirt and jacket (it's beautiful and not too young at all). And I really like how the blue of the turtleneck adds a nice pop of colour.</p> <p>The black dress is lovely as well, can't wait to see it paired with a collared shirt. (boots would look great too).</p> <p>About the pantyhose: the opaque tights do look a tad dark. Have you tried the dress with patterned or micro fishnet hose? You'll get a different look then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-swap-items#post-54333 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 05:59:58 +0000 sinead 54333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone.<br /> I will try a belt with the cardi. And Antje, I was worried about the jacket being too young because the sleeves have a sort of puff thing going on- (oh, and also it's from my 16 yr old daughter's closet). And I agree, the blouse and dress neckline don't quite work together- I'll try a collared shirt under.</p> <p>Thank you, Angie- I'm in shock I put something together that works! So fun!</p> <p>Is kh right about black sheer hose? I thought opaque tights would be too much with the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-swap-items#post-54325 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 02:02:36 +0000 Angie 54325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done Sinead! You are well on your way. I wholeheartedly agree with everything that has been mentioned. The first outfit looks especially wonderful :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-swap-items#post-54310 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 01:31:26 +0000 kh 54310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first outfit looks great. I also think a collar shirt might look more polished under the dress. Ditto to adding a belt or maybe just buttoning the cardi a few buttons. </p> <p>Oh, and I thought sheer hose was out, and one should only wear opaque. ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-swap-items#post-54294 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:41:24 +0000 Antje 54294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, these outfits work! </p> <p>I like Bella's suggestion of adding a belt to the dress/cardi combo. </p> <p>In the second outfit, I think the top works okay under the dress, but I think a collared shirt would be even better, or maybe you could try the addition of a necklace. I think the two crew necks together are just a little bit too "nicey" or something (I don't find the right word; but a collar or necklace would add interest.) Generally this is a great dress for layering!</p> <p>Cute jacket in the first outfit. What are you worried looks "too young"? Nothing in any of these outfits suggests "too young" by any means. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-swap-items#post-54292 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:33:45 +0000 bella 54292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, the first and second outfit are beautiful as is. In order to wear the cardi with the dress, you can try a belt, like this:<br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3528/3194497493_0f9f0d2bb4_b.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....2bb4_b.jpg</a><br /> It provides more waist definition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-swap-items#post-54289 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:08:53 +0000 Maya 54289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the skirt looks great. so does the dress and shirt. The cardi looks a little long to me, but that could just be the angle of the picture. I do not think the dress requires a belt. Your shape is pretty clear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-swap-items#post-54286 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 23:55:17 +0000 susan 54286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sinead-I think the jacket looks cute with the skirt-definitely not too young. To my eye the skirt does look a bit too long. Others will probably be able to help with that. I think the dress looks good with the blouse and the cardi, but to me it is sceaming to be belted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-swap-items#post-54277 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 22:52:10 +0000 sinead 54277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I think that worked.</p> <p>Next is an AT LBD that has been sitting in my closet for years because I don't know how to accessorize it- other than just a necklace. Does the shirt work under it?<br /> <a href="http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu261/fabbingout/120.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i654.photobucket.com/al.....ut/120.jpg</a></p> <p>And here's the yellow cardigan from the swap- is it too casual for the dress? Too bumblebee?<br /> <a href="http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu261/fabbingout/121.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i654.photobucket.com/al.....ut/121.jpg</a></p> <p>Also- please ignore the black tights- I was out of sheers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-swap-items#post-54274 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 22:42:14 +0000 sinead 54274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on a steep learning curve here with my daughter's camera and photobucket- apologies for the less than stellar pictures. </p> <p>My questions: </p> <p>I love this AT embroidered skirt from the swap- does the jacket work with it? Does the jacket work at all or is it too young? You can be honest.</p> <p><a href="http://s654.photobucket.com/albums/uu261/fabbingout/?action=view&#38;current=119.jpg">&lt;img src="http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu261/fabbingout/119.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;</a></p> <p>Hmmm-not sure about the link- I think I'll wait and see if it works before posting more. </p>
