My initial impressions were much like Shevia's, yet reading your decisions, I think you have chosen wisely and well. You know your own style so well. And about that cruise? YES!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i/page/2#post-1263585 Thu, 29 May 2014 00:48:56 +0000 CocoLion 1263585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the detailed feedback!</p> <p>I was excused by the prosecutor from jury duty. &nbsp;Happens every time, and always the prosecutor. &nbsp;Must talk to someone in the legal profession who can shed more light on this, as I'm intrigued (once I got&nbsp;over the resentment of wasting 4 hours).&nbsp;</p> <p>In case you are interested, here is the verdict:</p> <p>1 -- Red drape neck tank. &nbsp;Return, too big.<br />2 -- Daisy top. &nbsp;Keep.<br />3 -- Tokyo top. &nbsp;Return. &nbsp;I love it but not that much on me, I think it's the high neckline. &nbsp;Also, it feels a bit young for me, compared to the daisy top. &nbsp;That probably makes no sense.<br />4 -- Philip Lim top. &nbsp;Return. &nbsp;I feel like I'm swimming in it and that it wears me. &nbsp;People either really loved or hated this.<br />5 -- BLK DNM sweatshirt. &nbsp;Keep, even though it's not everyone's cup of flattery tea. &nbsp;I do think the cut is very fashion forward, which I like.<br />6 -- Splendid cross front top. &nbsp;Keep, even though a part of my wants to return it because of the fabric. &nbsp;I don't know if I can deal with another set of tiny holes which I know will happen. &nbsp;I have a bit more time to consider but in the meantime I think I'm keeping, really because everyone says it looks good on me. &nbsp;I can't always forgo figure flattery can I?<br />7 -- Bowie sweatshirt. &nbsp;Return. &nbsp;As much as most of you love it, I feel self-conscious in it due to my small head.</p> <p>Fanny pack and hat -- only half of you liked the fanny pack, and even fewer liked the hat. &nbsp;But I like them and see their usefulness. &nbsp;The final call will be made by my boyfriend. &nbsp;He will see this combo the most. &nbsp;Am I the only one who loved how much the two pieces matched? &nbsp;I guess so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i/page/2#post-1263358 Wed, 28 May 2014 20:16:33 +0000 pil 1263358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are the daisy, crossover top and Mr. Bowie! But since the Tokyo tee has personal significance I'd probably keep it over the daisy. I love your style.</p> <p>How did the jury pool shake out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1263232 Wed, 28 May 2014 17:10:24 +0000 kkards 1263232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm not sure about the fanny pack---i can't tell if its the fanny pack or the fanny pack with that outfit. the shirt in #1 is nice, but its not my fav. love both the UO graphic tee's,the BLK DNM "Sweatshirt #6, and the cross over tee. not so sure about the philip lim or the baseball cap. i think i'd actually like to see the cap in a darker color. <br />and i'm so jealous of your trip to hawaii! lucky you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1263201 Wed, 28 May 2014 16:47:15 +0000 annagybe 1263201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all except #4 and #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1263100 Wed, 28 May 2014 14:30:19 +0000 Isis 1263100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything except for the top in #1, which looks too big to me.&nbsp; I also like that the fanny pack is big; looks more like a handbag-on-a-belt, than a fanny-pack-on-a-tourist.</p> <p>My favorite is the Lim tunic, love the pattern and the sleeves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1263090 Wed, 28 May 2014 14:19:41 +0000 jackiec 1263090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a haul! I'm going to reply just based on my gut. I'm not nearly as fashion forward as you!<br />#1 - love the colour and drape. Very boxy, but totally wearable. Keep if you love. I don't mind the hat at all and the fanny pack is cool. I think if you are on a cruise it might not read as fashion forward, however. There is definitely a set of cruise-people who have always worn these regardless of fashion! You'll fit in, in that respect ;)<br />#2 - Like the daisy shirt<br />#3 - LOVE the Tokyo shirt - my fav!<br />#4 - Don't love the Philip Lim. I find it boxy and it wears you a bit...<br />#5 - Like the sweatshirt. If it's already a workhorse then it's for sure worth repeating<br />#6 - LOVE LOVE LOVE the crossover top. Hugely flattering. This is something I'd wear, and is likely more conservative than your usual style. It looks fantastic on you. Love.<br />#7 - (covering my head) not a fan, so it doesn't speak to me. Don't love, but if you love then of course KEEP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1263084 Wed, 28 May 2014 14:12:39 +0000 CocoLion 1263084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks missey for saying that. I have jury duty this morning but will try to check this thread. I've tried to dress in a less conventional manner. Hope they don't pick me. </p> <p>The responses are so interesting. Have not expected some of these especially the love for the Bowie sweatshirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1263059 Wed, 28 May 2014 13:30:51 +0000 Missey 1263059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1- not a fan, but that's personal.&nbsp; I just cant get over the fanny pack.<br />2- is OK<br />3- Love!<br />4- Is beautiful but looks overwhelming size wise on you<br />5- too bulky<br />6- Perfection on you!<br />7- Is there any question?&nbsp; It's Bowie, KEEP!</p> <p>I always love your posts...your style is very California cool meets edgy chic.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing your pics!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1263056 Wed, 28 May 2014 13:25:47 +0000 Niki Lea 1263056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm literally swooning over the tunic in pic 4!!! That is divine. I'm also surprised by how much I like the fanny pack! It looks really fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1263030 Wed, 28 May 2014 12:49:55 +0000 lyn67 1263030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything except the beige(?) hip pack in nr 1. They are all some great trendy pieces! Good to see your &nbsp;collection Denise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1263018 Wed, 28 May 2014 12:26:27 +0000 Janet 1263018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top in 1 looks too big and boxy, but it's a lovely color on you. Not loving the fanny pack -- it seems too big or high contrast or something. I like a sporty vibe on you though. </p> <p>All the tees and tops look good, but I LOVE the Philip Lim top, the Bowie sweatshirt, and the draped top. Draped tops still look fresh to my eye, but I find them flattering, so perhaps I'm biased. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262983 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:27:48 +0000 Jaime 1262983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will give you my first impressions before I read the other comments and get overwhelmed. I loved the daisy tee, the sweatshirt in #5, and the crossover top (of course). I like very much the Bowie top and the red one, but would be less likely to steal them from your closet if I came over if you know what I mean. Not sure about the Philip Lim or Tokyo tee and not crazy about the cap and fanny pack, but I could be convinced!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262889 Wed, 28 May 2014 06:15:44 +0000 Aida 1262889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun!</p> <p>1- Yay to the purse and the hat, the blouse looks a size too big to me so I vote return that. I like&nbsp;sporty for the casual things you mentioned, if you need to dress casually for those things may as well have fun and be fashionably sporty.</p> <p>2, 3- I like them both for you, especially after reading your comment about Tokyo. Do you want two black graphic tees?</p> <p>4- Hmm this one I'm stuck on. I kinda wish it was a long tee instead of a tunic. Not sure here.</p> <p>5, 7- I like both sweatshirts.</p> <p>6- Looks great on you, but as you said these are already trickling more mainstream. If you love the style I vote keep, otherwise it's probably&nbsp;worth passing on for a more fringe upcoming trend.</p> <p>Ok going to check out part two ^^</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262867 Wed, 28 May 2014 05:42:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1262867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not taking the time to read through others' comments before I answer. . .<br />1: I like the sporty direction, if not the exact items. . . . I think you are made for a baseball cap, but I wonder about the size of the brim on this one--maybe too big? I'm not in love with the shape of the top, though I do like the color on you. The bag is fun! I like that its size is a little big, so it looks like a purse rather than a typical fanny pack.<br />2: Of the graphic tees, I like 2 and 7 best. If you only kept one of them, it must be 7! Love that one on you (because look at your avatar). <br />3: Great length and edgy looking, but I don't get the reference (if there actually is one). You look good in it.<br />4: Something about this tunic doesn't seem in keeping with your style. I like the print. It's not the most flattering piece on you, but it's certainly flattering enough if you feel fab in it and want to keep it.<br />5: since you have one already and love it, I'd say keep, if you want another! White is nice for sunny days, and I can see it looking very chich-casual with faded denim or light pants.<br />6: My favorite of all of these on you. Must keep, in my book. Not too late to the party--they are still being shown in stores, anyway.<br />7: fun tee--keep! [eta: oops, sweatshirt]</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262856 Wed, 28 May 2014 05:22:51 +0000 Parsley 1262856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where to start! This is a great bunch of interesting finds!<br />Well, my hands down favorite is #4. I <u>LOVE</u> it on you!<br />It is fun, modern, interesting, in a sophisticated and elegant way.</p> <p>#6 looks great on you, but it's the most conservative of the bunch, so maybe not the avant garde look you're going for?<br />I like your sporty look in #1. you look terrific in orange! Too bad we can't see the next smaller size to compare.<br />I love David Bowie, but I can't say that I love that sweatshirt.<br />The daisy top is fun, but seems a little cutesy to me.<br />The Tokyo tee is great, especially since it has meaning to you.</p> <p>It's fun seeing people's opinions, because they differ so widely!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262835 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:45:08 +0000 rabbit 1262835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! &nbsp;Of course then the Tokyo shirt slogan is a good fit for you. :)</p> <p>On the Bowie shirt&nbsp;I see your red lips, and then the red zigzag slashing down his face, and kinda love that juxtaposition. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262831 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:42:31 +0000 deb 1262831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all on your except #4.

But you might as well keep it because you are keeping the rest... hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262821 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:36:36 +0000 kellygirl 1262821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! This is tough when you look SO good in everything! I’m digging the sporty vibe of 1. I think the fanny pack is adorable and so hip. The cap is fun even though I’m not a big hat person. The red/orange drape is fab in terms of color and fluidity. The flower top looks like a whimsical basic which I love on you too. The Tokyo top is cool in that fashion-y way. I’m not sure I could pull something like that off but it suits you. The 3.1 top is killer. I like both 5 and 6 equally but for different reasons. The sweatshirt is fashion forward and JFE. The drape top is more classic, flattering and looks like something that you could wear when you want something more conventional. Bowie is a must keep!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262810 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:33:24 +0000 Inge 1262810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shopping haul, Denise, and how brilliant that you and your Mum are going to Hawaii!</p> <p>1) I'm not completely sure about the drape neck top. Is this the actual length or is it tucked into&nbsp;it your jeans? I think I would prefer it a little longer to balance the boxiness.&nbsp;Love the colour on you. And I adore the cap and the fanny pack. Thumbs up for sporty you :-)<br />2 and 3) Fun.<br />4) Fab pattern, like the style on you.<br />5, 6 and 7 get a big thumbs up from me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262807 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:29:00 +0000 CocoLion 1262807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am surprised people like the David Bowie sweatshirt. &nbsp;All I see is my pinhead on top of his giant head! &nbsp;</p> <p>I agree on the daisy top, it might be my favorite. &nbsp;</p> <p>The Lanston top might just be too big. &nbsp;Normally I'm an M in Lanston. &nbsp;Now they are sold out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262806 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:28:35 +0000 Debbie 1262806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love 2,4 and 7.

Pretty color on you too. Not loving the baseball cap in this outfit. But it could work with other outfits? The fanny pack .. If its functional, keep!</p> <p>2- pretty! Keep for sure!</p> <p>3+4 - If its between the two I would choose 4.</p> <p>5 - love! Keep!</p> <p>6 - Beautiful on you! Keep!</p> <p>7 - like! Keep!</p> <p>And woot woot for Hawaii!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262801 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:21:29 +0000 CocoLion 1262801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks this is really great feedback. &nbsp;</p> <p>Jody - excellent point regarding the sporty look not really being "me."&nbsp;&nbsp;I am seeing myself going to a baseball game with this cap and fanny pack. &nbsp;I think fashion fanny packs will trend the way fashion backpacks have. &nbsp;I agree this might not be "me." &nbsp;It was really hard getting a non-frumpy pic of me with these two pieces. &nbsp;Most people will not see this as intentional. &nbsp;I do view it as utilitarian. &nbsp;I am actually divesting some funds and going on a cruise in January with my Mom! &nbsp;So this is a good get up for our trip, shore excursions etc. &nbsp;It's 15 days to&nbsp;Hawaii. &nbsp;Do you remember how I created that challenge for Elizabeth P for a Hawaiian trip? &nbsp;Well, it got me thinking and my Mom and I decided to JUST DO IT!</p> <p>The hat is actually too big for me but I can cinch it to fit.</p> <p>Rabbit -- I lived in Tokyo for 6 years so I guess it has some meaning to me, it just looked oddly familiar. &nbsp;Then I looked it up and it's a Japanese version of a zip code. &nbsp;Although in Japan it would be written as 100-6818. &nbsp;So this is kind of like Beverly Hills 90210. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262776 Wed, 28 May 2014 03:59:12 +0000 Marley 1262776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. &nbsp;Lanston top - looks too boxy to me. &nbsp;Love the cap and the fanny pack! &nbsp;And - yes, I definitely think you can pull off this sporty style!<br />2 and 3. &nbsp;Yes - very fun!<br />4. 3.1 &nbsp;Phillip Lim - abso<i>lutely</i> LOVE this! &nbsp;Modern &nbsp;- and those shoulders? &nbsp;I adore!!!!<br />5., 6., and 7 - Yes. &nbsp;You already know that you love the sweatshirt - so, that's a no-brainer. &nbsp;The cross front drape top is beautiful on you - and I'd take a David Bowie top ANY day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262774 Wed, 28 May 2014 03:57:23 +0000 Jen W 1262774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with caro in oz, #6 and 7 are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262761 Wed, 28 May 2014 03:45:34 +0000 Adelfa 1262761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Denise! I am taking this post very seriously and will respond by number!</p> <p>1. To me the sporty look is something you look good in, but it doesn't (to me) really convey your essence. I WANT that straw baseball cap but am thinking that since I have a big head and you have a small one, it won't work?</p> <p>2. Perhaps my favorite item in this post. FAB!</p> <p>3. This is great too.</p> <p>4. I adore this tunic but something isn't hitting me quite right. Can you try it with lighter pants?</p> <p>5. If you love it that much then get it. Perfect modern basics are hard to find. I think probably the pic doesn't do it justice.</p> <p>6. This is just wonderful on you. I got my first crossover top in December. My impression is that the style is going to keep going for a while and that if you pass because you think you're late, five years from now you might be kicking yourself because the style will still be going strong. (Have you ever had that happen to you?)</p> <p>7. Completely perfect. Rivals the daisy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262758 Wed, 28 May 2014 03:38:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 1262758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #6 &amp; #7, no strong feelings either way about the others. I'm not a lover of graphic tees but I do make an exception for Bowie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-collection-of-items-to-consider----part-i#post-1262757 Wed, 28 May 2014 03:37:31 +0000 Marmee 1262757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the daisy shirt, and #6. &nbsp;Not sure about #1. &nbsp;The boxiness might be too much for me. </p>
