I can see breaking up the pieces and pairing the top with an A-line summer skirt and/or the shorts with a less structured top. Both pairs of shoes look really nice on you, so I would keep those as part of the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-outfit-be-saved#post-364617 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 19:18:27 +0000 CocoLion 364617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shirt is summery and cute. Try pairing with a skirt or a more girly pair of shorts (more fitted, perhaps longer/knee length and avoid the slash pockets which are masculine to my eye). Those shorts do look perfect for outdoor activities however. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-outfit-be-saved#post-364602 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:53:35 +0000 Anonymous 364602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both pieces are more boyish, thus together you look "like a dude." I would try pairing the top with a more feminine bottom and the bottoms with a more feminine top. Perhaps that would help strike the right balance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-outfit-be-saved#post-364578 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:13:53 +0000 Jonesy 364578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Third the female head idea! Everyone has made such fab suggestions! I have nothing to add, but I think this is pretty cute as-is (with your head presumably attached). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-outfit-be-saved#post-364540 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:18:33 +0000 MsMary 364540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the "female head" idea! ;-)</p> <p>I'd love to see a brightly-colored necklace with this -- maybe some chunky multi-colored beads? And/or some higher espadrilles? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-outfit-be-saved#post-364534 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:06:35 +0000 Girl X 364534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try untucking the shirt and tying the front panels into a knot (you'll have to undo the bottom buttons), or doing a crossover and tuck (again, undo the bottom buttons for this), or a twist and tuck - to make the shirt more fitted at the waist. You could undo another button at the top and add a short chunky necklace - if going a button down is too revealing, try a longer statement necklace or a scarf. Also, try using a larger fold on the sleeves and go up higher on the arm. Big dangly earrings couldn't hurt either.</p> <p>Both belts look good, but the second shoe is definitely a more feminine boost for the outfit. This does have a menswear vibe to it, but how neat when something that on the surface looks like a pretty straightforward outfit, is actually pretty daring and bold. </p> <p>If you can just own it, looking like a well dressed dude can be pretty sexy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-outfit-be-saved#post-364530 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 16:59:55 +0000 rae 364530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could try untucking the shirt and belting at your natural waist. Or maybe untucked with a tailored vest and a candy-colored necklace similar to what you did with your belts?</p> <p>If you are going to break the pieces up, you can do the top with more fitted bottoms, like clams or a pencil skirt -- and conversely do the shorts with a more tailored or feminine top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-outfit-be-saved#post-364529 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 16:59:17 +0000 catgirl 364529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having a hard time judging this one without your head. A female head attached would make a huge difference. </p> <p>I think heels would be a key change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-outfit-be-saved#post-364524 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 16:53:05 +0000 Mo 364524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with you - the pieces together look rather boxy and masculine. Not sure how to fix it . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-outfit-be-saved#post-364514 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 16:32:37 +0000 annette 364514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This top and shorts look so cute pattern-wise: the blue of the top is in the plaid shorts and I love the patterns in person (not sure how well they show up here)<br /> Sadly, I look like a dude. When I accessorize I look like a dude in accessories!<br /> Help! Should I scrap the outfit, and try the pieces another way, scrap the top and shorts, or style them together in some way to make it more feminine?<br /> Thanks! </p>
