It looks like it fits fine but maybe the overall length plus the flounce gives it a sweet look that is at odds to what you normally wear. I so wanted a peplum top, having loved them the last go-round, but I have not been able to make them work this time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1525734 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:16:09 +0000 L'Abeille 1525734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me at the stripes! I think the pants are throwing the look off. IMO a peplum too demands either bottoms that go in (like a tube skirt or skinny pants or capris) or out (like wide leg pants, culottes or a full or A-line skirt), not straight like these pants.</p> <p>I wouldn't knock the stripe-combining till you try it. Maybe with your long gilet over to tone it down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1525728 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:06:06 +0000 Anonymous 1525728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the top. I think it fits fabulously, and I like how bold it is.<br />I would want to see it with either a distressed denim on the bottom, or else some sort of pleated wide leg pant, or any white pant.</p> <p>I just don't think the pants go that well with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1525719 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:52:40 +0000 Maneera 1525719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha. Style it again, post the pictures, and then we'll take it from there. </p> <p>I don't see the 'little girl top you may have grown out of' element ANYWHERE. I just see a very pretty and feminine silhouette that flatters your figure very well. The fact that it's on the shorter side (because that's what you think, I think the length is just right) will only make your legs look longer...which is never a bad thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1525692 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:17:40 +0000 Sveta 1525692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your responses!<br />No wonder I felt conflicted - such varied opinions here.<br />I also do not get a boy-ish vibe - more like girlish vibe and this is one of the reasons for my hesitation. I am fine with stripes and high neckline really - it is the peplum part which I am not sure about on me.<br />Angie, I wish I could see this top on you sans jacket. I tried it with the jacket (as lyn67 suggested) but with the jacket on it does not look like a peplum top at all and therefore not a problem. My problem is without the jacket.<br />The waist is in the right place and as Angie I think the length is supposed to be like this&nbsp; - on the shorter side. I am not sure if this length looks good with my height though: I guess I get the vibe of "little girl top I may have grown out of" IYKWIM. is this just me needing adjustment or do you get the same?<br />I did not style it in this picture at all - just put it with the pants I was wearing. I will definitely try it with full length skinnies and flares. <br />This story is to be continued! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1525056 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:55:22 +0000 Helena 1525056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sveta, I really like it and agree that it may just not be a perfect fit with those pants and would love to see it with white or jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1525026 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 16:02:51 +0000 Maneera 1525026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this peplum so so much, I'm going to dream about it again tonight When I saw Angie wearing it, I tried to find a similar one at Indian brands. Everything was SOLD out I really wish I could find this....I don't love stripes very often, but this one I LOVE </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524987 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 15:24:35 +0000 Angie 1524987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Rachy.

How perceptions can differ I guess.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524957 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 14:51:08 +0000 rachylou 1524957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you, Sveta.

I love it on you, Sveta, (a little biased perhaps). I think it's very pretty, graphic, different, fun and modern - which is why I bought the top myself. *smiling*</p> <p>&nbsp;Isn't the fabric and fit divine? It hits you in exactly the right place on the waist. It's supposed to be a shorter top. Proportions WILL look different. Good job getting a Tall though.</p> <p>Try the top with the Gap Resolution skinnies or white jeans. The pants might be throwing people off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524948 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 14:44:02 +0000 Diana 1524948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like it's just a tad too short. I think it would be better with a tube skirt but agree that double stripe would be too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524932 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 14:23:45 +0000 catgirl 1524932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the fit of the shirt itself.&nbsp; When I cover your bottom half on the screen, it looks amazing.&nbsp; But I agree the proportions are off somehow, and I don't know how to fix it as I don't wear peplums myself.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524903 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 13:46:00 +0000 Lisa 1524903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no advice on fit for this, but I do like the stripes and think that takes away from being too bombshell. &nbsp;This could be fun with a pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524896 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 13:30:45 +0000 celia 1524896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same top after seing it on Angie. :0)<br /> I think that although this is a peplum it is not a cutesy one. The structure of the stripes makes it more architectural than girly, imo. Also, I do believe that is the way it is supposed to fit. I like it on you.<br /> Maybe you will like the proportions more with the red skirt you mentioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524867 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 12:33:01 +0000 Daria 1524867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, have you tried it with dress pants? Striped skirt definitely will be too much.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524852 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 12:10:23 +0000 Tania 1524852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, although I think playing with proportions would be a good idea.&nbsp; Maybe it is because my sense of style is still developing, but I don't think this departs too much from your core style.&nbsp; Instead of focusing on the peplum, the strong contrasts, the stripes, and the good fit and structure on the shoulders lend crispness, which I associate with you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524848 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 11:56:52 +0000 Elizabeth P 1524848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not loving it on you either Sveta... for me it's the proportions, it looks short.&nbsp; which could just be the pants you are wearing it with. I'd like to see it with full length pants, or a skirt.&nbsp; I think styling it more like Angie, as suggested by Lyn, is also a great idea.&nbsp; But if you have to struggle to find things to wear it with, it could be either orphaned, or expensive (as you purchase pieces to go with it - which is fine... but only if you want to go that route) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524846 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 11:52:12 +0000 Deborah 1524846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta I am a little conflicted over this one. &nbsp;I am conscious of not wanting to put you in a box stylewise, so while this is a little different for you, I like the idea of it. &nbsp;&nbsp;I think I would like to see the peplum seam to sit lower on you, it looks a little high from the front view, &nbsp;and I would be keen to see this over a wide leg pant before I could know for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524843 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 11:51:21 +0000 anchie 1524843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, from my own experience lately, if I am not sure about something, if I have to ask or think too much about it - it is not for me. You have to love it. So listen to your gut.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524825 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 11:21:44 +0000 Karie 1524825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Humm...I'm not really loving this on you. I think the peplum could be just a tad longer. The front view looks good, but the side view is what makes me think I'd like to see it longer. It could be that the cropped pants are throwing off the proportions a little, too. Try it with full length pants before deciding. I like the boyish vibe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524806 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 10:23:50 +0000 Anonymous 1524806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is different for you and for that reason, I'm on the fence a little too about it for your style, yet I do like it. </p> <p>I don't see too much volume, yet you feel a little strange with it, so&nbsp;I think you need to try a few more styling options before deciding, Sveta.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524784 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 09:04:18 +0000 Maneera 1524784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this top on you, Sveta. Its not something I would expect to see you wear, but you do wear it very well. If you aren't afraid of the full peplum volume (and you shouldn't be because you're so slim), I would suggest you wear it with skinny bottoms. White jeans or even black and blue would work. As will dress pants, in my opinion. I don't wear peplums with skirts always either....I like them a lot more with pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524774 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 08:03:32 +0000 lyn67 1524774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fit is OK, but still, I find it a bit short. My problem with peplums is the same: too high (almost empire on me) waists and never enough length +/_too much of the flare.<br />I think Angie was buying and wearing it more for the perfect scale of the stripes, the good, quality and the non wrinkly thicker fabric which has some shape. &nbsp;Think, it has to be kind of a dressier rendition of a striped tee in her wardrobe. Guess is also very comfy from waist dowtn, so perfect fort &nbsp;travelling :-). We can also see she styled it to a casual setting with a casual distressed jean and with a denim jacket layered on+ colorful scarf-I mean it is there, but we can barely see the peplum and the classic cut of it it. She styled it in a non classic way so did a perfect unexpected juxtaposition there.&nbsp;<br />So, if keeping, I suggest the same styling for you, too, for avoiding the sweetness, wich I know &nbsp;is NOT your style at all! </p> <p>ETA: Skirt and peplum, hmm....not so sure for you.. Stripes on stripes will be too much, I think, but depends...we have to see. Then another ideea would be high waist cullottes, flares, or long dressy shorts &nbsp;:-).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524747 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 05:04:52 +0000 Gigi 1524747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun top! I think that the fit looks good, but I think the proportions could maybe use some tweaking in this outfit. The length of the top and the length of your pants look to be about equal and not in the 2:3ish ratio. What would happen if you wore this outfit with some black heels to pseudo-extend the black pants? Maybe this is part of what Shannon.stl was getting at with her suggestion to try full-length pants.</p> <p>As far as whether this is "you," I think the only way to find out is to keep it and to wear it. Sometimes it takes a few wears to find out whether something is truly you—at least that is what I have found. And even if I discern that the item isn't my style after all, I am thankful for the self-knowledge I have gained. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524677 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:40:16 +0000 shannon 1524677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How would it look with full length pants? Might make it look a little more streamlined.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524671 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:37:09 +0000 donnat 1524671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does have a boyish vibe, maybe it is the neck line. I would also like to see it with a skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complete-wildcardor-complete-nonsense#post-1524629 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 01:57:06 +0000 abc 1524629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you as a different option to explore things that may or may not be you. If the price was good why not keep it and try it out to see how you like it? No harm done if you decide no. At least you tried something new, right? unless it just doesn't feel like you or you feel the fit is off or you will be fidgeting with it for example, I would give it a shot. </p>
