If you are not happy with where you are at the moment, then that is how you feel.</p> <p>From over here you look fab. The dress seems too formal office-y for the fun smart casual sweater. Do you have a jersey skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1339043 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 13:41:31 +0000 anne 1339043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Gigi. I think it looks alright too, now I have seen the photos. However I didn't like how it looked in a half mirror (I didn't look in a full one) and so didn't wear it, or look at the photos til I was on my way out for the morning.</p> <p>I not very happy with my weight (up above my normal range) atm, and this is affecting how I see my outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338896 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 02:12:59 +0000 Gigi 1338896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the dress. I think it would look great with some black shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the jumper in pic 2, with the looser hem, as opposed to in pic 5, where you've made it more fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338878 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 01:53:42 +0000 anne 1338878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quick tryout with a dress. Pic 1 is the dress and the last one is my holding the sweater in to show what it would look like if it was fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338770 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 21:37:11 +0000 Gigi 1338770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting discussion. I would never have guessed that the look was not current.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like Shiny's idea about putting the jumper over a dress. That would solve the muffin top issue nicely plus eliminate exposure of skin due to the cropped hem on the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338620 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 16:29:19 +0000 Angie 1338620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High waisted tight jeans tend to be paired with much looser cropped jumpers for a current effect.&nbsp;</p> <p>Try the jumper with some of your cute skirts, Anne.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338606 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 15:51:52 +0000 anne 1338606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Shiny, yes it looks good with the first few styles you have mentioned. I haven't yet tried it with culottes (don't own any) or wider trousers (currently trying&nbsp; to decide if I should turn my one pair into skinnies!)&nbsp; Will have to try it out with a dress.&nbsp; And yes I too thought that it was supposed to be a current look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338600 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 15:43:14 +0000 shiny 1338600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so confused... to me this is a very current look. High waisted + cropped top, and just flattering enough. This is THE look right now, isn't it? It's all over the stores here in the US.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you are hoping for more than "just flattering enough" then I would pair the jeans with a longer top that hits at high hip. And pair the sweater with a high waisted pencil skirt, or pop a button down shirt underneath it, or try it with culottes or wider trouser styles.&nbsp;</p> <p>That sweater is absolutely adorable. Huge love for the huge polka dots!&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder how that sweater, or cropped sweaters in general, would work over a dress?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338589 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 15:11:26 +0000 anne 1338589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, it looks ok with a shirt under. </p> <p> Gigi the issue with the looseness was that it made me feel blocky. But any shorter rise jeans would expose my muffin top.</p> <p>Deborah maybe you are right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338482 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 08:27:34 +0000 Caro in Oz 1338482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Deborah said or try another layer - a tunic or shirt between </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338479 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 08:04:47 +0000 Sharon 1338479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Deborah. I think looser, more fluid bottoms would work better with the jumper, with or without a longer top layered underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338469 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 06:54:56 +0000 Deborah 1338469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne to me the overall look isn't current. Is that what is throwing you? I can see this sweater working with a slightly full skirt or a Highwaisted wide leg pant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338465 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 06:36:28 +0000 Gigi 1338465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, Anne, I think this outfit looks really good! What makes you unhappy about it? Or does it look different&nbsp;when you have your hands down, since they are up to hold the camera?</p> <p>If the top is loose around the waist, maybe you'd want to wear a black cami underneath so that no skin shows when you move around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338464 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 06:32:25 +0000 Lantana 1338464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne I cant see aproblem in what you've posted. Does it feel uncomfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338461 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 06:01:28 +0000 Alana in Canada 1338461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you need to figure out exactly? I'm sorry I'm confused. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-outfit-failhi-low-top-with-high-waisted-jeans#post-1338457 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 05:35:45 +0000 anne 1338457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kept this jumper against ylf advice because I missed the return window. It looks ok with a longer shirt under and with a pencil skirt. These are the only pair of jeans highwaisted enough to wear without tummy revealing but it doesn't work.<br /> The top is loose around the waist by the way.<br /> Please help me work out why. </p>
