Killer Wow. #6 and #7 are beautiful too.&nbsp;</p> <p>(Did you see my holiday outfit this year - it's a frock too).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760280 Wed, 14 Dec 2016 12:40:41 +0000 LaPed 1760280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet the small will work for you in the puffer. I purchased a Pata rain trench this summer and was certain I needed a small for layering, since basically all my gear jackets are a small, but after wearing it a couple times I had to admit I was swimming in it and exchanged for an XS. This parka fits just the same. But I'm scrawny on top -- like still-wears-kids-tshirts scrawny. ;)</p> <p>And oh my goodness those bell sleeves peeking out of the jacket -- perfect! You're really rocking the prints here. I tire too quickly of allover prints in my own closet, so I'll just have to sit back and enjoy them on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760199 Wed, 14 Dec 2016 01:51:34 +0000 Jaime 1760199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! The blouse is gorgeous and I up Maneera and say the boots are the bomb.com (phrase stolen from DDs).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760196 Wed, 14 Dec 2016 01:47:48 +0000 Maneera 1760196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. That top is just GORGEOUS!!!! You look smashing in it! But then I also love #4, 5 &amp; 6. Those OTK boots are the bomb!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760190 Wed, 14 Dec 2016 01:32:38 +0000 celia 1760190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are blouse twins :)<br /> The first outfit looks perfect on you. Love the way the blazer picks colors from the blouse.<br /> The boots are gorgeous and I like them with the dresses.<br /> With pants I was wondering if you kept it more tonal how would it look. In #4 I find that there are too many layers of colors to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760132 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 20:58:32 +0000 cheryl 1760132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces. I think the boots look great with the pants and i love the bell sleeve top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760126 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 20:11:41 +0000 Vix 1760126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi CO --</p> <p>Others have said it for me, just had to chime in on how *especially* great that dress in #6 is on you! The OTK boots definitely give it a little more oomph than knee-high ones.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760118 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 18:50:29 +0000 crazyone 1760118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had an epiphany this morning--I think I'm having trouble with the pants+boots look because the hem of those tops is straight--I bet it would look a lot better to my eye with a curved hem. &nbsp;I did try a tunic and didn't like that that match either, but it was a straight hemmed tunic. &nbsp;</p> <p>Tanya: I live in your old stomping ground It's definitely cold here but I think I only need one long puffer, especially since I also have a new short one. &nbsp;</p> <p>Astrid: thanks, I know I will really enjoy wearing them with skirts and dresses, and they are very comfy and made for lots of walking. &nbsp;</p> <p>DianeG: I love the color combo of the blouse+jacket too, and you noticed the little bell peeking out, which is a detail I also quite liked :-)</p> <p>Suz: I did try a tunic, but I think I need to try it with something that has a long curved hem. &nbsp;And good wisdom on the puffers--I think this is usually one case where it pays to size up.</p> <p>Janet: I am considering getting gray jeans for that very reason :-)</p> <p>Alasse: thank you, I Like the color combo myself!</p> <p>Zoiechic: thanks!</p> <p>SaraL: yes, it's easy to wear them with above-the-knee skirts and dresses. &nbsp;Fortunately I have a LOT of those. &nbsp;But I think they'd look good on you with pants, and you'd have fewer climate issues to deal with re: suede. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760110 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 17:49:02 +0000 Sara L. 1760110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket and blouse are a great combination and very flattering on you.</p> <p>I love the boots, both with pants and with dresses. &nbsp;I think it's easier to wear them with dresses/skirts than pants. &nbsp;That's one reason I haven't pulled the trigger on a pair that have been sitting in my shopping cart for months. &nbsp;I'm just not sure I have enough dresses to wear them with and I don't know how comfortable I'll be wearing them with pants. &nbsp;</p> <p>No advice on the puffer as I've never worn one (not cold enough where I live).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760104 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 17:22:16 +0000 Anonymous 1760104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I think all of these looks work - once again, love the otk boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760067 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 15:14:33 +0000 Alassë 1760067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding Suz in regards to #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760056 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 14:35:03 +0000 Janet 1760056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all look great. #1 is so fab! I think the boots work with everything here, but I understand the comfort level issue with the jeans + OTK boots. I think you look great in them, but the easiest way to ease into the look is by matching the boots and jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760051 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 14:11:40 +0000 Suz 1760051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are just so amazing. I hear you on the dress vs. pants...but I think maybe it's a matter of proportion -- you need a longer tunic top to make this work. Even then it might not feel right to you (I say this as someone who finds tunics just impossible to get right due to proportion issues -- even if others might say it looks okay, I always feel "off.")&nbsp;</p> <p>The puffer looks really promising, too. I hope the next size works well for you. I sized up to a S in the NorthFace thermoball and am glad I did. The XS technically fit but would not have been as easy for layering, and this one is not loose.&nbsp;</p> <p>I <b>love</b> you in the BR blouse with jacket. WOW. Gorgeous colours for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760038 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:35:42 +0000 Anonymous 1760038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, so much to love here! The first outfit is so fab. I love the way your jacket picks out the colours in your blouse and the cuffs are pretty peeping out under the blaze sleeves. The puffer does look good too. The OTK boots are also&nbsp;a winner in my eyes. You look great in them... both with dress combos and your ponte pants. Fabulous!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760027 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:17:36 +0000 Astrid 1760027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first outfit and the puffer looks promising! I hope the one you ordered works out. I love the OTK boots, both the color and leather are awesome. I think they're a perfect match for your dresses, I love the last two looks and prefer them to the outfits with the pants. Although those are alright too (but I prefer #5). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1760018 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:07:41 +0000 Tanya 1760018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love the boots, they are slam dunk with skirts/dresses.&nbsp; I like them with ponte pants, too, but if you feel uncomfortable, maybe try that with slightly longer top/tunic.&nbsp; The first outfit is amazing as well.<br />I like the navy puffer, and I would have to see it side by side with the S&amp;K to compare.&nbsp; I forget where you live, but if it somewhere very cold/with lots of snow, I would seriously consider keeping the S&amp;K.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have one and they are the best when the weather gets really bad and chilly.&nbsp; There is also nothing wrong with having a couple of puffer of different weights for different climate conditions - I do that as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1759960 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 03:45:01 +0000 crazyone 1759960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, you beat me again! The last two dresses are actually part of my wardrobe, and the last dress has been there for a long time, I actually quite like it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1759957 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 03:36:57 +0000 Anonymous 1759957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep it all (except I'm not sure about the last dress) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-sleeves-laps-puffer-and-otk-boot-lab#post-1759954 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 03:31:33 +0000 crazyone 1759954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Maneera, I wore a bell-sleeved top from Banana Republic today with black pants and tucked in boots. &nbsp;I threw a red blazer on top of it since the cranberry color of the blazer matched that of the top. &nbsp;</p> <p>After seeing LaPedestrienne's post of her navy puffer, I decided to try it out too, because my feeling is that the Soia and Kyo puffer is too heavy. The Patagonia puffer is indeed lighter and it's a lovely color--but I think it is too tight in the bust when I wear it with layers. &nbsp;Plus the arms are a bit short, so I've ordered the S. &nbsp;LaPedestrienne wasn't kidding about the small bust but wide hips fit! &nbsp;</p> <p>And re: the OTK boots, I'm &nbsp;in love but haven't worn them out yet until I get the spray. &nbsp;I am fully confident about wearing them with dresses and skirts (see photos 6 and 7), and I have enough of those to make the boots pretty versatile for me, so that's not an issue.. &nbsp;However, I'm not quite sure of wearing them with pants/jeans. &nbsp;In 4 and 5 I have them styled with the black ponte pants I was wearing--I think the low contrast top is better with them, but am not sure whether this look is suited to someone with longer/skinnier thighs. &nbsp;</p>
