I think that I'll try that for sure with maybe this (almost)&nbsp;knee-length black dress that I have as well as a denim wrap dress that might be interesting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blind-shopping-test-did-i-make-the-right-decision#post-1063363 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 21:51:28 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1063363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the print on the blazer, and the fit in general - except that it looks a bit short. I would try wearing it over dresses or with skirts, and see if that looks more balanced than wearing it with pants, which generally call for a longer top layer. <br />Love your figure! Mine is not quite as vavavoom but I know the pain of fitting the booty without looking too 'clubwear' in situations where that's not what you're aiming for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blind-shopping-test-did-i-make-the-right-decision#post-1063350 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 21:42:31 +0000 chocolatethundergirl 1063350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Guys- Thank you for your opinions!&nbsp;</p> <p>Its funny - the one I bought got ZERO votes- #3 (Blazer, Red &amp; Jeans) - Just shows how much I need the help :)</p> <ul> <li>@<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/ceithern/">Ceit</a>&nbsp;- Though my choices don't really reflect it-&nbsp;I am looking for semi casual looks that are sophisticared that I can somehow from day to night.

I also like 3 and the peplum in 4. I think the bottom outfit in 4 is my favorite.</p> <p>It looks like you are lucky enough to wear the same size on top and bottom with a thin waist, so dresses can really work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blind-shopping-test-did-i-make-the-right-decision#post-1062932 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 15:09:08 +0000 kellygirl 1062932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the sweater dress (#2.) I also like the peplum top in 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;The only outfits I don't care for are the long striped maxi in 4 and the dress in 5.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blind-shopping-test-did-i-make-the-right-decision#post-1062906 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 14:37:17 +0000 Freckles 1062906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also with Ceit on this one. &nbsp;The sweater dress is amazing on you and the striped top stunning. &nbsp;I also concur with Emily, the pants outfit is amazing but I really am not a fan of this style blazer with it.<br />Stunning pieces, you have a good eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blind-shopping-test-did-i-make-the-right-decision#post-1062818 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:33:01 +0000 Emily 1062818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Ceit - what is the occasion? &nbsp;Casual wear, or going out?</p> <p>#1 is my favourite.&nbsp; I see a confident woman who is totally comfortable in her skin and ready for a fun night out.</p> <p>#2: Shows your beautifully proportioned&nbsp;figure and would look great with tights and tall boots</p> <p>#3: The fuschia and graphic print are bold and beautiful, but I am not crazy about the shrunken fit of the blazer with the super skinny pants. &nbsp;I think a fluid fit top would look more modern, and the blazer unbuttoned overtop would provide a bit of structure</p> <p>#4: I think the second&nbsp;look w/the striped tunic over leggings is chic and versatile</p> <p>#5: I think there is too much going on here w/the short, tight fit and the busy print.</p> <p>When do we find out which piece you brought home? &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blind-shopping-test-did-i-make-the-right-decision#post-1062805 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:18:42 +0000 Mo 1062805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 and #3, also the bottom one in #4. &nbsp;My least favorite are #1 and #5. The short, and tight, skirts, along with a lot of arm showing, doesn't look as balanced. &nbsp;I'd pick either top or bottom to show some skin, but not both at once for the most part.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blind-shopping-test-did-i-make-the-right-decision#post-1062786 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 12:57:41 +0000 El Cee 1062786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will concur with Ceit here -- #2 is my favorite. It would look awesome with a pair of tall boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blind-shopping-test-did-i-make-the-right-decision#post-1062785 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 12:55:16 +0000 Anonymous 1062785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, what are you shopping for -- work? home? do you have a certain dress code at work?</p> <p>My favourite of all of these on you is the sweater dress in 2.
