WIW.... this week - YouLookFab Forum

here we go.............................
black with pink in the middle lol

#1 - 2
Thursday, pattern mixing
I've had this top for almost 3 years, love it. Goes with lots of stuff and fit is perfect.
Cropped pants I got a WalMart for $20.00, but had to spend $8.00 having the back of the waist nipped in. (it gapped in the back) I have this problem with lots of pants due to my waist being MUCH smaller than my hips.

I know several people here in my office will be thinking... "I can't believe she's wearing stripes with polka dots"..... they have no real fashion clue

What do you think of these cropped pants? cute or do they just look like pants too short?

# 3
Wednesday
A fun pop of color for middle of the week. I've had this outfit in my head for a while and temps have warmed up enough for me to wear it. I think it came together nicely.
Skirt was bought last summer at thrift store for like $5.00. Sweatre ATL, shoes given to me. Necklace is also ATL

#4 - 5
ATL trousers, Elle blue top, animal cadri also from Kohl's
My Salvation Army navy kitten heels for $9.00

#6 - 7
I sooooo LOVE this dress. Again from WalMart on clearance rack for $15.00.
Necklace - Vera Wang / red Elle pumps. My favorite shoes, but they are beginning to get really worn out. Need to replace soon.

You are a master of the polished work look!

I'm a hard sell on the cropped pant look, but I like your version. And great job on the pattern mixing!

Love 1,3,5 and 6
I think your cropped pants work to an extent because you are wearing heels and are tall.

You look stunning! So elegant and classy. I love the bold pattern mixing. I think it works because they are the same colors. I must say that I am not a big fan of the baggy cropped pants. If they were skinny or peg-legged, it would work better for me. But then we're veering off into expensive alternations territory and the $20 pants are starting to become $50 pants....

I really like the pattern mixing in #1, but I'm not a fan of the cropped pants, sorry. The high heel and flare to the pants really exaggerate that they are too short to my eyes. You work pink very well, #3 is so pretty and spring! #4 and #6 are classic and chic. Nice week!

Kappy

I always love looking at your WIWs! So fun and such variety!

kellygirl

I agree with Kappy! I love them all but especially like the sheath with red pumps. You wear a sheath like nobody's business. Fab week, Teri!

chouette22

I also like them all, including the cropped pants.

MsMary

Love that pattern mixing in 1/2! Not necessarily a fan of the shorter pants, but you make it work because you're so tall.

4/5 is just killing me in a good way -- I would (and have) totally wear something like that! Love the sheath with the red!

I'm not really loving the pink outfit, but I think it's because it's such a gray and rainy day here that it just doesn't compute! LOL

teri

lol... I had NO IDEA cropped pants were so contraversal............

amyreh

I like them all, can't believe that dress is from Wal mart, you look fabulous!

taylor

Nice pattern mix...I love the dress on you...perfection:)

san

You always look great. You have a natural sense of style.
I personally would prefer long pants to cropped but on you and with your great shoes you look very nice.

Teri, as I'm pushing cropped pant length here if I can find the right way to wear 'em, I'm going to say I LOVE your cropped pants, and 4/5 is amazing, as is the dress. You always look fantastic and you're the reason I started my thread on "polished or (insert adjective here)".

Aida

I think the cropped pant needs to be slimmer at the hem and also a few inches shorter as well; their current length just looks short, but not purposefully short, to me. And they definitely need to be styled with a heel as you did! Love the pattern mixing in #1! I'd like to see a sleeker top for #3, but boy you look lovely in pink! The others are fab as usual
