Sorry , I don't know what I'm looking at here, lol. &nbsp;It's a pretty blouse and I don't see blocky at all, but the long ties kind of distract me. &nbsp;And I might do a slightly bolder earring - I think you can carry that look off. It would give balance to the look . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pearl-necklace-or-dangly-earrings#post-2414317 Mon, 01 Jun 2026 17:05:47 +0000 Angie 2414317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the earrings!

Unfortunate since the pants look like a great shape and you look fab.</p> <p> I’m on the fence about pockets that show below the hem on short short jean shorts or thru a jean hole (either authentically worn thru or manufactured). It looks undone in a way that could make it fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pearl-necklace-or-dangly-earrings#post-2414307 Mon, 01 Jun 2026 16:33:46 +0000 bj1111 2414307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Work dinner</p> <p>Yay —necklace<br /> Nay—earrings</p> <p>Accessorize me</p> <p>Also I look blocky I think the shirt need narrower pants.

I fall in and out of love with grey in general.&nbsp;<div>I don’t have a set rules on colors, I wear what I like on me at this time. Things change.&nbsp;</div><div>I think you can look great in a white dress. Try it in a store with a hat or big sunglasses, other accessories. You need to see it and then decide if it’s for you.

A more saturated cool brown can be ok but still not my best. I can wear cooler “griege” but I’m really particular about it. Oyster works for me. </p> <p>I have zero sadness about not wearing beige — I just wish sometimes that certain items would be offered in cooler neutrals because it seems tan and black are the default and I’m trying not to wear so much harsh black these days too. </p> <p>It’s hard to tell about your coloring in a photo like this but I think most of us have a pretty decent instinct for what livens our coloring and what doesn’t. I had a color consult when I was a teen and my friend’s mom hosted one of those parties to sell makeup, LOL. I think they got me right as a winter, and I’ve stood by that for four decades since! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ignoring-a-power-neutral#post-2414293 Mon, 01 Jun 2026 10:49:00 +0000 Star (Lise) 2414293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a cool toned person black really works for me. I do prefer to wear bolder shades near my face. Let us know how the colour analysis goes. I have never had a formal analysis. One's intuition about what looks best is mostly accurate but in your case it may well help you. Do you feel that silver or gold metals are better for you? In my case I could wear both well but silver was just that much better. Since I've been playing around with warmer temporary hair colours it is less straightforward. All white has always washed me out. Some beiges were even worse. I think taupe, stone and bone could be for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-amazon-dupe-pants-again#post-2414291 Mon, 01 Jun 2026 07:34:48 +0000 lyn67 2414291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, gone are the times when we cared for showing through pockets on our white jeans or elegant trousers. Or perhaps we would still care if will wearing them again...But these pockets are an intetional feature/detail on the Ruti pants- so they look great-and can really understand the love. </p> <p>My fave look is nr 3,&nbsp; wearing with a contrast shoe does it ground it better for my eyes..</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-for-today#post-2414290 Mon, 01 Jun 2026 07:26:40 +0000 lyn67 2414290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Put the effort aside and just use the outfit whenever you feel it right, no thinking!

Not to speak about influences of hair cuts (shorter so more skin revealing on the neck and chest or longer so more&nbsp; framing all over) and color intensity (freshly dyed or showing roots),&nbsp; make up, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>Plus colors have to be&nbsp; considered&nbsp; in relation to each other, light is reflected from a color on the other and create different perception of them. Not to speak about the whole color theory knowledge on hues, values, saturation and more...</p> <p>So IMHO this is a rabbit hole. I don't deny we look better in a color than in other but for me any restriction prooved be so relative and always changing due so many factors, including my mood! In reverse, you can always do a color work if trully wanted -that is the power of styling.</p> <p>Now about the neutrals and esp.your question about the white/cream dillema. I am too a peson who thought cannot wear brigh white cause as an ashy blonde my complexion was allways low. But it depends on the fabric itself! Too plain and smooth is my pet peeve. Having added texture helps (for ex. knits, broderie anglaise, linen, or even a shine).&nbsp;</p> <p>And again. I do love a bright white midi dress in a broderie anglaise or mouselline for high summer when I have a good tan and wearing on itself so only shoes and bag to style. And I hate a bright white long sleeve crisp ironed collared poplin button down to a black suit in winter--so you get the ideea....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6for-yard-chores#post-2414285 Mon, 01 Jun 2026 04:53:19 +0000 slim cat 2414285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun sandals!
