All tens, no question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-293312 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 17:38:38 +0000 Scarlet 293312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much to everyone for weighing in. And here I thought I could close my wallet and breathe a sigh of relief.</p> <p>Vix – you always crack me up. Good analysis. I think the peasant style can still look good on someone over 40, especially since I am sure you style it in a sophisticated way.</p> <p>Isabel – thanks for the enboobening support </p> <p>Deb – Thanks for the implication that I am comfortable with a look that works for me. I agree that my body language is totally different in the last photos because I am sure of the style, but I just kind of live in a style vacuum and have no frame of reference. That is why it is so great that I can check in with you all. </p> <p>CocoLion – No, the dress doesn’t show cleavage. I am just a little self-conscious about the gathering at the bustline. Perhaps I need my head examined :)</p> <p>Sveta – That is true, you are no help. I thought I could save some money :)</p> <p>Lisa – that is a good point, but I didn’t really notice the elastic on this top, so I think it is okay. Thanks for the encouragement about the peach and the green. It is kind of my new theme at the moment I think…</p> <p>Mac – Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence.</p> <p>Jonesy – Thanks, what a compliment. Yes, I was immediately drawn to the dress because I thought it would look cute with my denim jacket. Is that an odd way to shop? I just really like my jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-293266 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 16:24:45 +0000 Jonesy 293266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late here, but I really love all of these! The red top looks better on you than on the model, the dress is adorable, and the jacket is very you. I could see that dress with your Diesel denim jacket--too fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-293151 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 12:22:33 +0000 Lisa 293151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all 3 pieces. I do have one pet peeve with peasant styles. The elastic's on the arms. As long as you don't find them digging in I vote keep for the dress. Sometimes I find the elastic is too tight so i wanted to point this out. Great finds you have here. And I love that peachy scarf with the green jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-293075 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 05:02:44 +0000 Mac 293075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket knocks my SOCKS off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-293053 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 03:33:00 +0000 NK 293053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow!

Buy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-293037 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 02:54:39 +0000 Anonymous 293037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all great! The color of the red top in #3 is so gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-293034 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 02:45:16 +0000 Sveta 293034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no help, Scarlet, because I like everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292979 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 01:09:55 +0000 Jenava 292979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might work....try it! I'm not an expert, but it seems like it would echo your hair tones and also lighten the look. I would go hose-less if wearing a lighter colored shoe, and also wear a denim jacket, which would also help lighten the dress. That would be a great spring look, actually! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292961 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 00:28:50 +0000 Scarlet 292961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, if you happen to see this, I only have sand colored slouchy boots--could you picture that or does the print and trim really call for black would you say? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292902 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 22:28:25 +0000 taylor 292902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buy, buy . buy!! You look amazing in all..super fab stuff!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292883 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 22:09:26 +0000 Jenava 292883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear a black moto jacket with the dress, to add some contrast...or a distressed denim jacket and some funky slouchy flat booties? Or a studded belt or shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292882 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 22:06:51 +0000 CocoLion 292882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks great on you, all are worth keeping because they fit and flatter.</p> <p>I especially love the dress in #1 and I don't think it's inappropriate, I don't think it shows cleavage does it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292811 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 20:52:13 +0000 bella 292811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i vote yes for the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292798 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 20:30:14 +0000 Scarlet 292798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, clever, Jenava, you are right about the length, I didn't notice that! But I like a longer top for tucking, or I could scrunch it a little. That could be what was throwing me with the fit though.</p> <p>I am so glad I have you all, otherwise I would not know which end was up. I really appreciate all the opinions, for and against. It helps me figure things out. I think I am going to pick up these items, because you convinced me the tank top will be the versatile piece I initially thought. The dress, while not my usual style, will be easy to throw on in hot weather and look decent as long as it is not setting off Maya's boob radar. And I quite like the colors. The jacket, is well, me me me, and goes with my new scarf...</p> <p>Oh yeah, and besides that I can't defy a killer rating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292783 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 20:09:44 +0000 Jenava 292783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tank is longer on you. Maybe hitching it or hemming it would make a difference? agree it will get a tone of wear. The dress is very sweet, and I love the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292773 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 19:44:36 +0000 Mo 292773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is a definite buy! The tank and dress I like but don't love. That could be my own personal bias getting in the way, though. They certainly look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292770 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 19:42:29 +0000 Angie 292770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks KILLER. Wow. What a splendid haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292737 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 19:12:35 +0000 catgirl 292737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look absolutely fantastic! 10, 10, and 10. Not kidding.</p> <p>ETA: The red top is my fave of the three! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292736 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 19:11:25 +0000 Deb 292736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take off the tags and keep them all! They are all flattering, and I can see you getting lots of use out of them.</p> <p>I particularly adore your third outfit on you - it is killer! I believe that when a person has developed a look that they love and that works for them, it's further enhanced by the confidence emanating from the wearer ... if you feel good in what you're wearing, you just move differently, stand differently, *act* differently ... because you know you look good. </p> <p>Anyway - three cheers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292734 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 19:10:34 +0000 ticksgirl 292734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three are fabulous! Buy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292726 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 19:03:30 +0000 Isabel 292726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my. BUY IT ALL, as QM and KG say. ( And I am all for emboldened enboobing...wass' up with not loving that ?? ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292722 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 19:00:28 +0000 Vix 292722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 Green jacket -- if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it! </p> <p>You say it's you you you, it looks great on, plus it has a lovely feminine vibe to it (which you say you're trying to incorporate into your wardrobe).</p> <p>#2 Tank -- great color on you, print's not overwhelming, and seems like it would be a good staple (and more versatile than you are thinking).</p> <p>#1 Dress -- On the fence. Personally, I go back and forth re wearing things like that sleeve + neckline edging...some days it's beginning to feel a little young for someone 40+, some days I like the delicacy. But it's flattering on you, that's for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292715 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 18:55:47 +0000 annagybe 292715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tank and the jacket. I'm not a huge fan of that style of dress personally, but I do like the color and pattern on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292711 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 18:53:40 +0000 kellygirl 292711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>10, 10 , 20! Love them all, Scarlet. The jacket is fab--color, fit, styling. So perfect for you. I really like the other items as well. You have impeccable taste! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292709 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 18:53:30 +0000 Scarlet 292709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, enboobening, that was the word I was looking for... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292702 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 18:46:33 +0000 Queen Mum 292702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say buy it all too! great finds </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292700 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 18:45:09 +0000 Maya 292700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress on you. I don't think it's very enboobening, and my boob radar is pretty sharp.<br /> The tank *is* adorable. You're wrong :p It will look cute layered or on its own when it gets hot out.<br /> Jacket is super cute too. </p> <p>Buy all of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-dont-buy-some-items-under-consideration#post-292696 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 18:40:48 +0000 Scarlet 292696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep or return can be tricky with the policies here, so let's play buy or don't buy.</p> <p>Esprit had really cute things for spring but I am not sure if it is my style.</p> <p>1.) This dress was really cute, but I am not too sure about the peasant-style top or if it brings too much focus to my bust (for casual work with mostly male colleagues, or maybe I am too sensitive). I would shorten it and wear it with a denim jacket or maybe this little black sweater. I don't have anything like this.</p> <p>2.) I thought this top would be so adorable but once I had it on I was not convinced. I would wear it a denim jacket, for example, or a navy cardigan.</p> <p>3.) green knit jacket. I seriously heart this jacket. To me it says me, me, me! But maybe it is too me, and I should branch out? or am I nuts? Why can I never tell Oh yeah, the weird light green flaps on my hip are from the t-shirt I happened to be wearing. The sleeves are supposed to be extra long.</p> <p>Only want to buy 10s! </p>
