I have a feeling that you'll be more comfortable with more coverage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-frumpy#post-124908 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:20:47 +0000 Kristine 124908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're too hard on yourself, you look great. If I saw you on the street I would think "stylish and pulled together".</p> <p>For the first one I think the vest hits a little high. Plus being an open vest it creates emphasis at the crotch level, which isn't the nicest looking area of skinnies for anyone! I have the same issue so I wear longer tops that go to the top of the thigh. I honestly still feel weird wearing skinnies to work, even with a long blazer. I love the belt, but did you try wearing the turtleneck untucked?</p> <p>I agree that for the second outfit a more streamlined top might balance the looser jeans. </p> <p>Ooh, ooh, how about switching the tops and jeans in these two outfits? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-frumpy#post-124906 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:19:09 +0000 AJ 124906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was to switch tops! Put the looser cardi and blue t-neck with the skinnies and the brown vest and t-neck with the looser jeans. Maybe it's the t-necks that are making you feel a bit frumpy? Try both sweaters with a scoop neck top or even a button down. I thought both looks were fine though. Maybe it was the lower angle of the camera but I personally don't like to have shirts higher than the crotch when I wear skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-frumpy#post-124904 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:06:58 +0000 Boof 124904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look beautiful in both outfits! If you feel self-conscious in your skinny jeans, I'd do a longer top/tunic/sweater and maybe belt it with a wider belt to define your teeny waist. I like Queenie's idea of ankle boots too. Like Queenie also said, when I wear looser jeans on the bottom (bootcuts) I generally like to be a little sleeker on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-frumpy#post-124896 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:43:48 +0000 Queen Mum 124896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute- I think that first outfit is beautiful- absolutely nothing wrong with proportions to me. I prefer to wear boots with my skinnies- the extra weight at my feet seems to balance things out- dont' you have a pair of ankle boots? Have you tried those?</p> <p>I think for your second outfit, you'd feel more put together with a more fitted type jacket or cardi- since those jeans fit looser on your leg, I think you need a sleeker look up top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-frumpy#post-124894 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:37:04 +0000 rute 124894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was checking my last photos to select some of my February outfits to show to you and I discovered that I have a big problem on casual Fridays...<br /> I don't know how to dress casual, everytime a put jeans I feel frumpy and huge.<br /> I have a skinny jeans I used twice and when I did I felt terrible.. I'm even embaraced to show you the first photo, the proportions are all wrong...<br /> How can I style my skinnies? Well I know the theory, longer tops, but when I do, I feel they are not flattering (see photo 2).<br /> pass:ylf2010</p> <p><a href="http://s601.photobucket.com/albums/tt93/rute_m/casual/" rel="nofollow">http://s601.photobucket.com/al....._m/casual/</a> </p>
