Nicole August Feedback - YouLookFab Forum

Ok here are three outfits I wore this week.

The last photo is what I wore today. Now that I see the photo, I realize these jeans (which used to be my favorites), are too big. I'm going to see if mom can take them in, but they look too big all over, so I'm not sure what to do. These are the Tahari jeans that I loved so much!

Also, what else is wrong with this last outfit? Is the shirt too short? Do those two colors even go together? They are the same exact color, just lighter and darker versions. Something just looks wrong to me.

I'm not sure I'm liking the yellow top in the first photo either. I feel like it just emphasizes my bust way too much. I was trying to combine red with yellow, which I love on other people. I'm not sure if the shades I used were wrong, or if it's just the top is ill fitting. I just got it this year at BR.

I guess I am happiest with the second and third photos (same outfit, just a cardi over the shirt because it was chilly that morning). Those are my favorite shoes, and I found myself reaching for them over and over this summer. Partly because they are colorful, partly because they are comfy.

Feedback please!

You're hilarious Nicole! Ok now I'm going to look at your photos.

Well I think you are correct in your observation that the yellow top is not the best for you and your jeans do look to big now.
You are so beautiful and full of personality. All of the other outfits are wonderful. I love the brown and blue. I think you are a natural for those colors in pictures. Your personality is definately the yellows and corals.

i love the red shoes the yellow polo might look nice with a blazer or cardigan over it. you could even do a red cardigan, which would give you the color combo you admire. then, perhaps a green cami underneath?

the brown/blue combo is fab. the brown polo looks very stylishly classic by itself. the sandals are very cool.

the last photo with the red/coral looks nice, colorwise, but you could try breaking it up a little with a different colored necklace - maybe a turquoise or green. the sweater seems to pull a little funny - it's not bad, i'm just wondering if maybe that's what giving you cause for concern. could you try just wearing it fully open?

The necklace in the coral photo is ice blue. I was thinking a turquoise one would have looked better. My other blue necklace is brighter than turquioise though. I think you are right about the sweater pulling funny. I find myself tugging it out away from my body. Maybe it's just too small....

Great ideas to salvage the yellow sweater. I'll try a cardi over it for now, and if it works, I'll look for a red one. Thanks Shell.

Thanks for the confirmation on the sweater and jean, San!

I too think that the brown and blue outfit looks great -- good colors on you. I love coral and think that the lighter/darker combination works. But I brighter or deeper color necklace would balance it out.

Good to see pics of you again, Nicole. You are looking SO good. Here's my 2 cents:

1. I disagree. The yellow looks GREAT with the white and red. LOVE the shoes and outfit. You get a solid 9.5. The skirt itself scores a 10. You are so tanned. Beautiful.
2. Really pretty. Is the cardi unbuttoned for a reason?
3. Fabulous! This outfit gets a 10. KILLER. ( And you’re wearing a tan skirt – how’s that for brilliance).
4. You look wonderful in coral. Top half of this outfit is gorgeous. Jeans are indeed too big. 2 sizes too big. You might like to try the Taharis Dani got a little while ago. Or the new high rise Citizens (Amber).

Favour: I referred to you in yesterdays blog post. Would you mind helping the ladies out with info?

Nicole, I love all those colors on you. You wear them so well!

Without reading the other comments, here are my thoughts:
The yellow and red look great together and you wear them well. I think you might feel "busty" in the photo because of the pose you have assumed in the picture. I used to hate having to stand with my arms behind my back for team photos because I felt it made me look to thick and wide. You could draw attention up a little with a chunky choker necklace if you wanted.

The brown and tan with the blue cardi is super. I really love those colors together. The shoes are perfect!

The colors in the coral outfit are fine. I think it might just be the way the cardigan is pulling that is throwing the whole look off. How does it look unbuttoned?

So sorry about the jeans, they do look too big. Maybe your mom will be able to alter them...if not, just a reason to go looking for new jeans

My fave is the brown polo with the blue sweater - i think you look fabulous! The skirt looks really good on you.

I like all of these outfits...the yellow is definitely bright but if you love it, wear it! And the two different shades of coral look great. You look comfy and stylish.
