The first outfit however, I think is a little "off" because the sweater is too long for that length of skirt in my opinion. I just think the houndstooth skirt and the pink sweater are each beautiful on you, but need to be put in separate outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30-x-30-week-2-sun-and-tues#post-1877366 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 16:54:24 +0000 Angie 1877366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is a slam dunk. You rock that vibe. LOVE those boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like #1 too. Elegant and fab for Winter. <i>Different</i>.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30-x-30-week-2-sun-and-tues#post-1877359 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 16:46:16 +0000 Windchime 1877359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, everyone, for your encouraging and helpful comments! I felt good in the second outfit. Unlike some Fabbers, I love cardigans and reach for them often. It has to be the right cardi, though; there certainly are some frumpifying cardigans around! </p> <p>Re the pink sweater and houndstooth skirt--I'm feeling self-conscious about tucking tops these days. I have a little tummy, but worse (I think) are my hips. My figure has changed in the last five years; I used to be thin, and then my hips...shall we say...became more prominent. And of course they are the last thing to reduce when I lose weight. Anyway, I worry that when I tuck, my hips and tummy look big. </p> <p>That houndstooth skirt is very forgiving, though, so I'm going to try the fuchsia sweater with it again, tucked. I realize now that the outfit proportions were off with the wide belt. Again, I appreciate everyone's kindness in helping me figure out didn't work about that outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30-x-30-week-2-sun-and-tues#post-1877346 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 16:32:42 +0000 Anonymous 1877346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great comments.&nbsp; I don't feel I can actually add anything.&nbsp; I do want to say I love Number 2 for all the reasons already mentioned.&nbsp; I think the pink and houndstooth should be just as fabulous, but something is throwing the eye off.&nbsp; I noticed several suggestions from other Forum Members; but I think it might be the thickness of the belt.&nbsp; I can't help but wonder if a thinner belt wouldn't pull all the proportions together.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30-x-30-week-2-sun-and-tues#post-1877328 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 16:14:05 +0000 Katerina 1877328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both your outfits! My favourite is the second one - it is great on you, the colours are perfect and the necklace is&nbsp;cool. I like the fuchsia sweater - so nice and joyful colour on you! You look very pretty.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30-x-30-week-2-sun-and-tues#post-1877278 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 13:57:27 +0000 LaPed 1877278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2 -- love it so much I went to look at the v-neck cardigans, and I've mostly sworn off cardis! It just looks so good on you.</p> <p>I would like to see #1 with the sweater tucked, no belt, and a scarf or necklace. I love the pink and houndstooth together, but I think getting the proportions right will take some more experimentation (skirts are such a challenge!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30-x-30-week-2-sun-and-tues#post-1877269 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 13:05:19 +0000 Aurore 1877269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the 2nd outfit! The spruce green cardigan and grey boots look wonderful together and paired with black.<br />Also : what a beautiful cat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30-x-30-week-2-sun-and-tues#post-1877268 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 12:52:17 +0000 tanstaafl 1877268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer outfit 2 as a whole, but love the bright pink color on you. What didn’t you like about the sweater tucked in? Would wearing the wide belt over the tucked in sweater/ skirt combination work?</p> <p>And it felt so warm yesterday, even tough it was just above freezing. I can’t wait for Thursday and Friday here. I won’t need to wear my long puffer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30-x-30-week-2-sun-and-tues#post-1877209 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 05:18:08 +0000 Anonymous 1877209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are doing a fabulous job with your 30X30. I like both your outfits. You are doing a great job with your 30X30 pieces. Like Shevia, my favorite is your second outfit but the first feels classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30-x-30-week-2-sun-and-tues#post-1877190 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 04:05:35 +0000 Jaime 1877190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second outfit is terrific! I like the idea of the belt with the first but somehow want the skirt to be longer with the long sweater. I would like to see the pink sweater and belt with the ponte pants, thinking capsule wise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30-x-30-week-2-sun-and-tues#post-1877154 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 02:32:43 +0000 Windchime 1877154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore the first outfit for church on Sunday. The sweater felt a little frumpy with the skirt, and I wanted some waist definition, so I tried tucking the sweater. I didn't like that, so I ended up wearing the wide belt pictured. (Neither of my other black belts worked--one was too narrow; the other buckles below the waist.). Is the wide belt okay, or should I have just left the sweater untucked and unbelted? </p> <p>I wore the second outfit to work today. Same ponte pant/grey boots combo as I wore last week, but this time with a Halogen spruce green cardigan. I debated if the outfit needed a scarf but decided to wear a necklace instead to celebrate that the temperature was in double digits instead of single. I'm scalped in these pictures--yikes!</p> <p>So far, I've used 8 capsule items in the outfits I've posted on YLF. I've worn 4 other capsule pieces in two outfits I didn't post. If I included footwear and accessories in my 30, I'd be through most of my 30 pieces already!</p> <p>I'm becoming aware of a lack of under layers such as long-sleeved tees. I could definitely use two or three of those, including one in a pattern such as a black and white stripe. </p>
