Three awesome outfits. I think I'm going to call #1 as my favourite because I just love that gingham shirt on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling/page/2#post-1682485 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 08:14:25 +0000 jenanded 1682485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these big earrings really work with your bair and because of 'the summer thing'.... the outfits are just great... I need to get tips from you on 'put together casual' as you do it sooo well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling/page/2#post-1682396 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 03:54:24 +0000 Chris987 1682396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits from head to toe. Love the earrings! I totally relate to your comments about wearing certain earrings&nbsp;mostly in summer....I have earrings, not so large, &nbsp;that I don't wear much in winter because they catch on whatever scarf I'm wearing and then taking off the scarf indoors becomes quite entertaining. :-)&nbsp; I suppose this would not be a problem for someone in a year round warm location. </p> <p>Also ..."fit flops"? these are new to me....always love a new idea. </p> <p>One more thing Suz, that checked top looks so much more stylish and feminine/classy on you than it does in the find pic - funny how that happens sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling/page/2#post-1682372 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 03:05:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1682372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking so great, Suz. These outfits are phenomenal on you. I love the new direction you are going. <br />I had to get those Nickel &amp; Suede earrings, too, influenced by you and someone else I saw them on here recently. I got the matte silver ones and have worn them a couple of times. I'm not quite sure they are my style, but I've been wanting larger earrings lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling/page/2#post-1682259 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 00:16:33 +0000 rachylou 1682259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The earrings are a huge YES.</p> <p>You know, I'm still loving dainty necklaces, but big earrings somehow are providing needed balance right now for me.

I think it definitely helps to have a longer neck or at least not a short one, and short hair showcases them for sure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1682068 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 17:19:18 +0000 Suz 1682068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa</b>, see if your friend can get you some more freebies! They have some pretty nice styles this year. Not all toe thongs either -- but for me, I knew this would stay on my foot better and it had adjustability -- some of the styles are a bit too wide for me or something.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can imagine the little flowery thing...yeah. That would turn me off them, too, but then again, I'll bet you could style them a bit ironically and they'd be brilliant!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Skylurker</b>, chuckling because outfit 1 actually included a denim jacket (white) for part of the evening as well! Luckily I didn't photograph it and saved your poor eyes...</p> <p><b>Maneera</b>, thank you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1682067 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 17:19:08 +0000 merwoman 1682067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these on you Suz! &nbsp;Colour and shape of earring suit you beautifully!<br />Interesting thoughts re proportions. I have very small narrow face, long neck and short hair...and big earrings seem to work! At least to my eye. :-)<br />I've picked up these (finds below) from BR and absolutely love the gold dangly pair. I can see the silver/white pearl working for you with your gorgeous colouring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1682057 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 17:12:13 +0000 Anonymous 1682057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And head size is an interesting factor - another thing to consider indeed . &nbsp;I have a small face and smallish head and small features. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1682055 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 17:10:31 +0000 Anonymous 1682055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lorna the poet &nbsp;I have a pair of Fit Flops ( my bff is a rep for the line) and love them. Mine are black suede with a frilly flowerish thing on them (they were free - don't ask) so they don't get worn a lot anymore . But holy cow are they great! &nbsp;And I get compliments on them every time I wear them even though the frilly bit kinda bugs me &nbsp;I'd love a white pair like yours. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1682041 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 17:00:58 +0000 Maneera 1682041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1! When I read Angie's post today, I instantly thought of you!! I have noticed the earrings in another post you did sometime back...I think long earrings realllly flatter your shorter hair and long neck. </p> <p>Love your FFBO, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1682004 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 16:30:48 +0000 skylurker 1682004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 !<br /> the black&amp;white&amp;silver palette works really well with your new hair colour, and I love the proportions of the outfit, too.<br /> (I also love checks in general, and dislike denim jackets in general, so that clearly influence my point of view). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1682001 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 16:28:20 +0000 Nishaa 1682001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have nailed it.. Short hair with long earrings is a very difficult thing to do. Guess I'm being inspired to shorten my hair.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1681997 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 16:21:48 +0000 Suz 1681997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA, <b>Lisa,</b> the sandals, believe it or not, are Fit Flops!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Why am I wearing Fit Flops? Well, Lorna Crozier told me to get a pair.&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously -- my plantar fasciitis was acting up a bit and I was getting the shockwave therapy for it and Lorna happened to tell me that she got hers after a bout of PF (she's a big walker) and has never looked back. I am wearing them mostly as house slippers for the summer but I was doing a fair bit of walking at the Writers' Summit and it was super hot and I wasn't sure if I might be poolside on that trip as well, so I popped them in my bag just in case and ended up wearing them one day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1681990 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 16:17:15 +0000 Suz 1681990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa</b>, thanks -- I think one reason that I can wear a big earring with short hair is not just neck length (mine's probably only on the slightly long side of normal) but also face length -- my face is longer than the supposed 2.5 cm that is supposed to work for pixies....anyway, the big earring adds a bit of width. It also (arguably) emphasizes the length -- but &nbsp;I'm not really hung up on that. My attitude is kind of... I have a big head, people, so what? As long as the earrings don't overpower my features.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's probably about the proportions of your cut more than anything, though. I find that if I'm unhappy with the proportions of a short cut, I can't feel fab, PERIOD. And the tiniest tweaks make a difference. Ugh. I hate that phase where you are waiting for it to grow enough for them to get the proportion right.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Xtabay, Murph11, JAileen, Ledonna, Joy, Tanya,</b>&nbsp;<b>Beth</b>, thank you!</p> <p><b>Beth Ann,</b> summer is all about the skirt and dress for me. At home I wear shorts a lot but the minute I head out I put on a skirt. I so welcome the option to do that, maybe especially with the super short 'do.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sara</b>, thanks -- YLF has really taught me to put energy into footwear choices.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Astrid</b>, I'm with you -- when I wear my specs I wear small studs. I don't like the competition. But I agree with those who feel it's okay with sunnies.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Shevia</b>, my point exactly. The collar of the jacket interferes with the earring. But I had some AC exposure so had to be prepared!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, thanks for the sweet words. The hair is getting a bit thick already but I am not quite ready for a trim since I want to encourage a bit more length and consider possible styles for the future. I am likely to leave it super short for a few months (as I get the dye out), but with a bit more fringe for added femininity. &nbsp;But I am open to suggestions for the future. I do like the drama of this, and the fact that it is not the cut du jour is a bit of a bonus. I was tired of seeing myself coming and going. That did not feel true to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have not defined the eyebrows more but I think the higher contrast both within my hair and between the lighter parts of hair and brow makes it appear that way. I do plan to get them "done" as per <b>Lisa</b>'s recommendations but am waiting for a month or two.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1681982 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 16:05:56 +0000 Beth 1681982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, you look so amazing in all three of these outfits. You definitely can rock the statement earrings. Also, the length of that denim jacket is perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1681952 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 14:59:39 +0000 Anonymous 1681952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Love all three outfits - you can rock a denim jacket really well. &nbsp;Also love the thong sandals - what are they? &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't feel comfortable with my super short hair and big earrings right now, and I wonder if neck length is the factor . Until you mentioned it, I've never thought about it. I can't honestly say I've ever considered the length of my neck - short, long or otherwise, but I wonder if that's why I don't like the look on me. &nbsp;</p> <p>Looking really good , Suz :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1681948 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 14:52:19 +0000 Anonymous 1681948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those earrings are so cool with your "new" hair!&nbsp; Great looks.&nbsp; Keep cool and carry on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1681936 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 14:18:01 +0000 Beth Ann 1681936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your fringe is already looking longer --- love the way your hair is changing your style! &nbsp;The earrings are a wonderful bit of Summer fun and they do add a lot of focus to your face, too!</p> <p>Glad your skirts and dresses are getting some love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1681930 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 14:02:59 +0000 Murph11 1681930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love these looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/big-earrings-a-mostly-summer-fling#post-1681928 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 14:01:13 +0000 JAileen 1681928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I just got through on Angie's post writing how I don't like big earrings. But that's in certain circumstances - long hair, heavy earrings, and busy busy outfits. None of that applies here.
