It is feminine and figure flattering.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893507 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:30:19 +0000 Isabel 893507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have no idea about the man thing, I will ask my husband later. &nbsp;But you&nbsp;<b><i>do&nbsp;</i></b><i></i>look fantastic ! &nbsp;Everything fits you really well, literally. The yellow color is such a happy one and it looks really good on you. Few people look that good in yellow, I find. &nbsp;The texture of your dress is amazing and really lightens it up for Spring. The shoes are fab, fab, fab. I do have the same issue with pointy shoes. They just can't be an 8 hour shoe for me for the reasons you explained. &nbsp;I always go up 1/2 size to one full size in pointy shoes, and it still isn't an 8 hour shoe.<br /><br />You are a 10 in my book ! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893501 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:21:03 +0000 amiable 893501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it too!&nbsp; Like others said - uncomplicated, it works all well together, and you look terrific in it!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893487 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:02:06 +0000 Angie 893487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KILLER look!<br /><br />Glad that you were complimented so frequently :).

So chic!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893363 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 12:46:25 +0000 Anonymous 893363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I can only agree with everyone else: &nbsp;this is feminine (lace, colorful sweater) while still being business-like and appropriate (dark base colors, classic shapes). &nbsp;It's possible the toe cleavage added some extra oomph! &nbsp;; ) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893332 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 11:21:56 +0000 Anonymous 893332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ceit took the words off my keyboard. &nbsp;The lace skirt gives a feminine touch that is still structured and businesslike. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893331 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 11:19:00 +0000 krishnidoux 893331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, I agree with everyone, you look stunning in this.&nbsp;<br /><br />I'll echo Claire: uncomplicated, classic, showing figure in a non-aggressive&nbsp;way...<br /><br />I'll add: the ink blue set looks like a one-piece dress, and I notice men really like the sight of a little cute dress on a woman (easier to remove LOL?) I tend to get compliments from men when wearing a little dress.&nbsp;<br /><br />the colour contrast is interesting, attention grabbing without being loud. In fact it has a "demure", graceful quality.&nbsp;<br /><br />Pointy toe, small, delicate necklace bookend each other and give off an impression of grace, agility, which makes you vibrant.&nbsp;<br /><br />Clean lines are easier to appreciate.&nbsp;<br /><br />Yellow near your face illuminates it. Men often notice face first.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893326 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 11:05:04 +0000 Anonymous 893326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks great -- I agree with everyone, it shows your shape without looking too revealing or tight, it has that soft cardi, and the shoes are pretty and elongate your leg line. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893324 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 10:27:31 +0000 Mona 893324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Simply beautiful. love the colour of your sweater. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893311 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 08:14:06 +0000 rachylou 893311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pretty cool!<br /><br />That's a total man pleasing outfit: shows your shape but not tarty, not complicated, comfortable, and pretty, feminine. And nothing abnormal.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893309 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 08:04:26 +0000 Suz 893309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The outfit is lovely and fresh - and it allows you to shine! No wonder you got compliments! It's also a great transitional outfit for spring, with the bright sweater and nude shoes. I agree with what everyone has said -- classic, figure flattering, easy-looking, and just <b>wow</b>!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893302 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 07:42:05 +0000 dlb1960 893302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your outfit is unfussy, pretty and feminine and looks great on you. I love the cardigan for its bright colour contrast. Maybe you were happy and confident&nbsp;on the inside too on the day which&nbsp;always shows through to the outside!!!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893289 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 06:15:05 +0000 Anonymous 893289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Adelfa, my husband would chime in with a sixth compliment if he saw this outfit. He LOVES classic, uncomplicated outfits with flattering proportions. Also it hints at your figure without being too revealing in an aggressive way. And the nude, pointy shoes elongate your pretty legs. So feminine with the soft, colorful cardigan. Yep, it's a hit! You look fab. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893286 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 06:04:39 +0000 Adelfa 893286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is great everyone, thanks for the insights.... I do think men like uncomplicated, classic clothes that show the figure to some extent but not too much. Gaylene, you are so right... a woman said "I like your skirt" while the men said "You look nice today." MamaV, I love the idea of trying to make a formula of a look that's successful. I have always loved sheath shapes.<br /><br />Krista, Tanya, Elle, Caro, Day Vies, Lantana, Jules--thank you for the kind words as well as the analysis. I am still getting used to the idea that looking nice is a possibility!<br /><br />Beth Ann, I even have some spare ball of foot inserts... I will try this, because I would love to refine the fit of these shoes which are great in every other way. &nbsp;BTW, my oldest friend (from junior high) is named Beth Ann. Only when I met her she was going by Beth, so that's what I call her. &nbsp;I am the only person in the world who doesn't call her Beth Ann! (I asked her if she wanted me to switch and she changed the subject.) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893235 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 04:56:52 +0000 Mamavalveeta03 893235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm with Christa! You do look stunning. It almost looks like a sheath dress in black from the pics. I think if you want to attain that look again (and if I were complimented by 5 men, I would do that!), try a black sheath with a little bit of stretch, and wear a cardi that compliments your coloring. The nude pumps are great, or you can pop a bit of color in there to contrast with your cardi. An easy formula, really. And you've got STYLE!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893234 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 04:54:33 +0000 Gaylene 893234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look pretty, feminine, and comfortable (After all, most men really don't know how squished toes can get in a pointy shoe!) <br /><br />I think men like clothes that don't look too complicated or unusual so they can see <i>you</i>, not the outfit. Women notice the clothes, men notice the woman in the clothes.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893225 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 04:44:04 +0000 Jules 893225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Do you usually wear more neutrals? I do think many men like brighter colours, or at least that colour is something that will catch the attention of men who don't notice subtler details. It's also figure flattering. Simply put you look very pretty https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893167 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:56:23 +0000 Lantana 893167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You have achieved a lovely line and the colour combination is very appealing. While you&nbsp;&nbsp;poor tootsies don't look too happy the outfit overall looks simply elegant to me. Your waistline curves in nicely, is that what appeals to the male of the species? Who knows! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893166 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:55:59 +0000 Day Vies 893166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree and I'm not a guy. Perhaps it's the fit and proportions! I love that shade of yellow with black and the lace texture is feminine but not girly.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893163 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:54:10 +0000 Caro in Oz 893163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Imo you look very elegant - nothing too OTT &amp;&nbsp;everything works together:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893162 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:52:13 +0000 ElleH 893162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look gorgeous so I'm not surprised. Without knowing what you normally wear or if these men see you in what you normally wear I'm going to go by just what I see here &amp; what I think men think of womens' style. Everything you are wearing&nbsp;is classic. I don't think a lot of men like overly trendy clothes. Your skirt &amp; top are tailored. I think men like to see the shape of a woman's body &amp; prefer tailored &amp; sometimes body con to oversized. Men have always loved classic, refined pointy toed shoes like these. My DH doesn't like the more elongated pointy toes like my Stuart Weitzman but these aren't like that. Now I'm going to make a mental note of your outfit &amp; copy it &amp; see what my DH says:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893161 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:52:10 +0000 Beth Ann 893161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I can not speak for the minds of men.&nbsp; They are inscrutable and befuddling at times, but when they know a beautiful woman, that's a good day!<br /><br />This is chic and classic, and exceedingly flattering.&nbsp; Simple, but with a pop of modern color and a good does of texture.<br /><br />As for your shoe problem:&nbsp; I've started wearing ball of foot inserts to keep my feet further back in my shoes.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893158 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:48:56 +0000 Tanya 893158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look beautiful! &nbsp;I think that Krista is right, the outfit is very flattering and shoes of your figure in a classy way. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893153 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:46:45 +0000 Krista 893153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, that's easy - you look stunning!<br /><br />I think it's the combination of all of the items - everything is in proportion, it's a flattering silhouette, lovely colors and the snakeprint pointy-toed shoe adds an extra sexy little vibe. &nbsp;Beautiful!&nbsp;<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-men-said-i-looked-nice-today#post-893141 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:37:13 +0000 Adelfa 893141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This never happens, perhaps partly because I work with almost all women! Please somebody help me bottle whatever I did today! I have no clue. The shoes are nice because they are nude with texture, and low heeled. But partway through the day my toes start squishing into the point. Does this happen to you? The sweater top and lace skirt are ink blue. Both AT last year. I think the second pic might show the skirt fabric better. Cardi via Marshall's, shoes Stuart Weitzman Poco (still available in other colors--these went 50% off but not till after I bought them). If you have any idea why this outfit was a hit with men please share! Thank you!
