You can pass on compliments from Auckland! I had a skirt from years ago and my fave ever olive pants with a gold zip down near the ankle from 2013. I was sad when those died in early 2016 because they got those little bits of elastane poking through. They are the ones I haven't been able to replace to my satisfaction. But I think the snakeskin olive leggings may do it. Thanks for the tunic love. Still deciding there.<br /> I am happy they are made in Australia and don't mind that they are imported to here. Friends and rivals right? I buy the brand at a chain called Hartleys. Quite high end but sometimes great sales too. When I get a day off on Wednesday I will likely go and get the snakeskin pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumnal-olives-wimb#post-1803820 Mon, 01 May 2017 06:38:32 +0000 Deborah 1803820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jenni, I think the pants (the ones you are trying on) look good. &nbsp;Nice fit from what I can see I like the olive snake as it seems that bit more subtle. The top in #10 is lovely. I find that length very attractive on you. &nbsp;It creates a kind of "balance" and gives you a nice line creating what I think is a very flattering look. &nbsp; Forgive me for 'name dropping' but I know the designer of the Philosophy Australia. &nbsp;She is a gorgeous woman and designs lovely pieces they only produce three ranges a year and &nbsp;I know the quality is excellent and the majority of their range is made in Australia (Sydney). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumnal-olives-wimb#post-1803494 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 20:30:39 +0000 Jenni NZ 1803494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi thanks both, Ryce you are totally correct that I am trying to make the tops and shoes the statements. The olive snakeskin is more subtle than the navy ones. I think I would get the olive ones but did like the navy also.<br /> Thanks The Cat about the figure flattery- yes the length of the 2 new proposed tunics is more flattering. I am glad you love the metallic one Ryce- it's called a Lurex Tee and is a beautiful shimmery gold. Out with our best friends last night and showed her the pics, she preferred the other one. I will think on it more and check my wardrobe for shoes to go with the gold! Think I have several. Cheers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumnal-olives-wimb#post-1803416 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 14:39:37 +0000 Anonymous 1803416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shame about the pant you already own. &nbsp;They look good on you - in fact, I really like your entire outfit of clothing you already own! - but I hear ya' on the ironing.</p> <p>I like what I see of the pants in 7-8. &nbsp;I'm the same height as you, and yeah, we have to hem everything - that just goes with the territory. &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't dislike the snakeskin leggings, but if I remember correctly, you have been posting recently about making your tops and shoes your statements and having bottoms be supporting players. &nbsp;Those leggings, especially in the navy seem to me to be more statement-y. &nbsp;But maybe they are more subtle IRL. &nbsp;Do you already have things in your wardrobe that they would go with? &nbsp;</p> <p>I completely agree with The Cat that the top in 9-10 is terrific on you! &nbsp;I like it layered, too. &nbsp;Is it a bit metallic? &nbsp;The other top is ok, but doesn't have the same wow factor.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumnal-olives-wimb#post-1803324 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 08:01:16 +0000 The Cat 1803324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, I think the pants generally look OK. However, some of the tops are bringing a lot of attention to your mid-section.</p> <p>The top you are using in #9 and later pics creates balance and looks really great on you! The shape as well as the colours seem to be in harmony with yourself, so to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumnal-olives-wimb#post-1803280 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 03:14:36 +0000 Jenni NZ 1803280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So... still not fully happy on the olive pants front. The 21st March long olive pants from Queensland, $60, have proven a little disappointing. They are shown in pics 1-3, all my own clothes. 7 wears, CPW $9 so far. Black layering T 2014 21 wears, olive tunic 2014 21 wears, black boots 2014 24 wears. The pants are thin and needed ironing. I don't think they will last 30 wears. I have another pair of thicker ones for winter from outlet store that were very cheap but have needed several mends.<br /> So pics 4/5 are a possibility- like leggings with subtle snakeskin print, shown with my own tops/boots. Pic 6 is them with another jumper I already own.<br /> Pics 7/8 an alternative, more dressy pant, too long...slightly more expensive, a darker green. Shown with my own bright booties. Pics 9/10/11 then 12/13/14 are 2 possible tunic tops shown unlayered for warmer weather or layered for colder weather. Both shown with the possible snakeskin leggings. Which is better, or neither?<br /> Pic 15 a different pair of leggings I liked but in a navy/ ink snakeskin. I have a relatively new pair of dark straight navy jeans though. Too similar? Have a cobalt tunic, boots and bag though that they might be good with?<br /> I've left them all in the shop for now but can go back. All the same brand, Philosophy Australia. A good brand on me generally. Thoughts? </p>
