Maybe you could add a small scarf near your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1915237 Wed, 02 May 2018 03:28:18 +0000 anne 1915237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and thanks Angie for&nbsp;commenting on the athletics side of the post! Yes there were ITs too (and some apples, specially in the shot put, where I was helping out at one point, but&nbsp; in sprints too) Hardly any pear shape people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1915234 Wed, 02 May 2018 03:26:18 +0000 anne 1915234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I don't think I'll both with styling options since Angie (and the Cat, Cardiffgirl and Gigi) are all not keen on the colour.</p> <p>I'll just keep it for&nbsp;around the house, and perhaps for hiking etc (I've mentioned before my severe lack of tees - I really need something with shoulder coverage outdoors in our harsh Australian summers)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914607 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 19:27:17 +0000 Gigi 1914607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My feelings on the tee are middle-of-the-road. The color is not bad on you, but I agree that a cooler yellow would work better. Likewise with the style and fit--it's OK but nothing I would write home about. I think it's fine for a volunteer tee, though--you want to stand out!</p> <p>Yellow is tricky...I don't wear yellow very well. I can do mustard, though. If I want to wear yellow, then I wear yellow nail polish.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914596 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 19:12:27 +0000 The Cat 1914596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, that yellow colour seems to bee too strong for your softer colouring. (We notice the tee before we notice YOU ...) I do think you can wear yellow, but suggest you try a softer shade. Also, a more fitted shape would be nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914539 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 15:46:26 +0000 Cardiff girl 1914539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with the comments above.You have a softness to your colouring that this harsh yellow doesn’t complement,try something lighter and softer,maybe primrose? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914516 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 14:51:27 +0000 gardenchick 1914516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yellow comes in many shades. When I got my colors done, I found out that many work for me...but many don’t.</p> <p>My yellows are very different from Angie’s, which makes sense since I have olive/blue-toned skin and dark brown, now grey hair.</p> <p>Most likely you need to discover YOUR yellows. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914514 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 14:47:06 +0000 Angie 1914514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anne</b>, you need a cooler yellow to my eye. YES, you can wear yellow.&nbsp;</p> <p>It makes sense that at an athletic meet you see lots if rectangle and inverted triangle body types.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914487 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 13:33:05 +0000 Anonymous 1914487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with folks above. Lighting does not give accurate picture to determine if color is good for you but size wise I think it doesn’t show off your great figure. But it is a freebie so wear it as such.<br /> If you can take a better lit pic maybe we can tell if yellow is a great color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914419 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 04:32:56 +0000 Echo 1914419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is almost impossible to tell with the lighting. I absolutely canNOT wear yellow. I look dreadful in it. However, my DD looks amazing in it. i cannot tell from the picture you have posted whether yellow suits you or not, but generally speaking, for casual t-shirts or occasion t-shirts, I don't think it matters a whole lot whether the color choice is flattering or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914405 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 03:37:29 +0000 anne 1914405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenn and Jussie - I'll try to come back with some options</p> <p>Sal, it wouldn't be a problem if I don't wear it - it was a freebie afterall.</p> <p>Re sleeves - One of the vollies looked much more stylish with her sleeves cuffed a bit and tight bottoms (slimmer legs than me though!)&nbsp;</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914402 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 03:28:06 +0000 Sal 1914402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is okay, but not my favourite shape of tee - mostly the sleeves.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it might be okay with skinny jeans or layered under a long cardigan.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>But I am not convinced it will be your favourite sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914400 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 03:24:54 +0000 jussie 1914400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the colour is really good on you, no problem there. As to styling, it is hard to say without seeing pics of some options. &nbsp;You could see how it looks with some slim-fitting bottoms, and then a looser fit bottom just to see what you think. &nbsp;It will probably really depend on each specific bottom piece I suspect. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914398 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 03:17:25 +0000 Jenn 1914398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always hard to tell with the lighting, but I think you look cute in yellow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914396 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 03:10:29 +0000 anne 1914396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoops! Thanks efbgen!</p> <p>I've added it now</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914395 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 03:06:17 +0000 Anonymous 1914395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not seeing a picture so I can’t offer opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-story-and-can-i-wear-yellow#post-1914364 Mon, 30 Apr 2018 02:07:16 +0000 anne 1914364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So my body type story isn't about me. Angie has said that the rectangle body type is the rarest, in her experience.</p> <p>Well, last week I was volunteering at an event where rectangles predominated! It was the Australian Masters athletics championships (ages 30 up - and mostly 50 up). Never seen so many rectangles!&nbsp; </p> <p>There was however body diversity&nbsp; and it was great to see people of many different sizes participating, as well as different ages.</p> <p>In a related question, here is me in my volunteer tee so&nbsp;I now own a yellow shirt.</p> <p>1. Can I wear this colour (am always conscious of having yellow skin)</p> <p>2. If so, styling suggestions? I picked the size unseen,&nbsp;and its not fitted and yet is it big enough to work with an oversized look?</p> <p>I've posted a lot today, but this will be the last post, I promise! </p>
