WOW! And I love your hair this way. Please wear it like that occasionally for fun!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913317 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 13:13:15 +0000 Angie 1913317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE your hair like this. SOOO cute. And coral is fab on you. Great shirt too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do find the jeans an odd length - either too short or too long for those heels.</p> <p>Fun flashback to Granny.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913287 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 10:54:10 +0000 krishnidoux 1913287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kathie</b>, <b>Jussie</b>, I hear you on a slimmer and longer bottom. This one might not be flared enough, nor short enough for the effet I was going after. You are right, your recommendations would make me taller and more elegant looking. Even the flats in this situation, it's an excellent advice for proportions. I usually wear these jeans with flats too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913284 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 10:51:32 +0000 krishnidoux 1913284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't think this outfit would generate so much love, but it has! The pairing - and the hair - will certainly be worn. Thank you for your input and for this big boost!</p> <p><b>Runcarla</b>, I think my grandmother might have been emulating the Lady Bird Johnson look as she happened to have the same general features. And I am pretty sure had I lived in that era I certainly would have too. </p> <p>Somehow in my memories it got stored under "Older American Lady Toursit from the 1960-1970's" but I realize I got it all wrong.</p> <p>Jeans are Simon Chang from 2012. They have a nice sequin detail on the back which is why I have kept them.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Firecracker, Aurore</b>: yes, semituck is a good idea for this one and I did try, but somehow I really wanted the full long and flowy look so to match the jeans' shorter hem. But maybe this particular shirt is too short in the front to achieve this, since many of you felt an urge to semi-tuck it. It's the shirt's fabrick - very drapey - that inspired me to try a non-tucked approach.&nbsp;<br />Re: tucking, the other day I stumbled upon this video and at first I won't hide I mocked it because I thought How can you have a video on how to tuck in your shirt (it seems so obvious), but actually it ended up being useful:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl51CPMWp8s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl51CPMWp8s</a></p> <p><b>Jussie</b>,you are right about a topper! Thank you for this reminder. You are correct, especially for petite women.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913283 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 10:49:35 +0000 Kathie 1913283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shirt, and your hair is amazing! I’d try trousers with a slimmer fit, and a bit longer or ankle length. Or try flat shoes. What a lovely reminder of your grandmother! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913282 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 10:30:12 +0000 Toban 1913282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the curly hair on you. You’ve got a relaxed happy vibe going on. Love the colors. And your story of your grandmother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913266 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 09:08:41 +0000 Liesbeth 1913266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, very laid-back but still stylish to my eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913262 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:41:29 +0000 Bijou 1913262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and I love the hair too - very pretty and playful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913259 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:17:39 +0000 Carla 1913259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hair is wonderful - kind of 'Sleepless in Seattle' meets 'The Great Gatsby'. (I will let your phantom gma curly redhead tourist remark pass )<br /> Great jeans BTW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913253 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:02:18 +0000 Lesley 1913253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the hair! Maybe I'm biased (reminds me of my hair on a good day!)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913248 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 07:09:21 +0000 Cardiff girl 1913248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the hair!

I second Firecracker for the semi-tucking suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913242 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 05:21:56 +0000 rachylou 1913242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are just cute as a button! And I like the hair You’ve got quite a wide ranging style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913241 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 05:05:06 +0000 jussie 1913241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit, and I like the necklace you’ve put with it. It might also be nice with a slightly tighter fitting pair of pants. I don’t think of it as 70’s- but I’ll take your word for it! And yeah I recently discovered putting a jacket or cardi over an oversized shirt to “bring it down” a little, it’s a handy trick imho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913233 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 04:03:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1913233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the hair! And that color on you. I wonder how the blouse would look semi-tucked. Or perhaps with a short layer over it? </p> <p>And what a fun surprise, to end up with an outfit that reminds you of your grandmother!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-complete-outfit-surprise#post-1913227 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 03:33:32 +0000 krishnidoux 1913227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an outfit I imagined a few days ago by taking many pieces out of my closet and deliberately remixing them. What you see below is what ended up happening. </p> <p>The funniest part is that I mindlessly recorded the outfit without realizing, first, the hair (the hair! OMG), and also that this is completely a 1970's American outfit! When I looked at the pictures again just now my heart nearly stopped, because I thought I had inadvertently photographed the fantom of my American grand-mother whom I will always remember as a curly red head dressed as a tourist (I didn't grow up in America, so when she visited she was a tourist and dutifully dressed as such).</p> <p>But you know what? I think I'm digging it (minus the hair!).</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
