It was a lucky eBay find. The bias cut on that tunic really does help with shaping. For reference, I am 5'8" tall.</p> <p>Lisa - The consensus is a def yes to pressing the crease...and my hair is super thick all down the center of my scalp..like 2x that on the sides of my head. I joke with my stylist that I would be a natural for a mohawk.</p> <p>Smitte - thanks so much...that orange bag really is a fun color. It's a little more muted than crayola crayon orange, and that makes all the difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1692314 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 02:24:38 +0000 Anonymous 1692314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, I love #1! So elegant and fun with the orange bag!<br /> I love the neutral tones with the same level of saturation. To me it looks very pleasing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1692252 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 22:03:05 +0000 Anonymous 1692252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice outfits . And I'm just repeating what everyone else said, but smart idea to press in a crease on the culottes. It makes such a huge difference! &nbsp;Your hair looks great as is, but I'm also guessing you have a &nbsp;lot of it, so I can sympathize with your frustration ...:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1692110 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 13:34:56 +0000 Anonymous 1692110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cheryl, you look wonderful. I especially appreciate the culotte outfit as I've been thinking of getting some. Are you wearing an EF pullover with them? I've also liked the looks in the Johnny Was line but wonder if I'd be overwhelmed by fabric. (In my fantasy life I am taller with curves.)<br /> Your footwear looks perfect with both outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1692073 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 11:51:15 +0000 Deborah 1692073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous as always :). #1 is just beautiful. I love the simplicity of this and the tonal balance of the top and bottom. Very modern and sophisticated. #2,is lively. Nice pattern and looks do luxe x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1692059 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 11:26:40 +0000 dakotacheryl 1692059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sky - I have a pair of EF wide crops in a black crepe, and I press those with a crease too...much more flattering that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1692058 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 11:22:57 +0000 skylurker 1692058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The crops look really good on you, clever to add structure with a crease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1692054 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 11:16:56 +0000 dakotacheryl 1692054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angela and Anna, those crops are a nice alternative to a skirt for me this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691971 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 04:52:37 +0000 Anna 1691971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the crops on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691926 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 02:38:42 +0000 Angela K 1691926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you about the crease being more slimming. I have a few pair of the wide crop pants from Old Navy and find that the crease makes them more flattering. Without the crease they look and feel out of proportion. </p> <p>These EF crops look much better on you than on the model! Total win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691894 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 01:39:16 +0000 kerry 1691894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691892 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 01:35:34 +0000 dakotacheryl 1691892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiara - thanks so much, and those colors in top 2 really are fun.</p> <p>Pil - I never realized how neutral orange could be in a bag...it really does work with almost everything. And that bias cut really does make that top flow and give an interesting line.</p> <p>JAileen - I collected quite a few neutrals and was worried I would get bored, but I have really enjoyed them.</p> <p>Suz - the crease just made the pants look more slimming to my eye. Makes me wonder why more manufacturers don't press a crease and make the garment more flattering. "Swishy" ... love it!!</p> <p>Rabbit - thanks so much, that tunic is really comfy and cool to wear, which, for a lady with hot flashes, is very important. I usually steer clear of patterns LOL.</p> <p>Rachylou - thanks so much.</p> <p>Jen - thanks so much, that blouse, even on sale, was a splurge.</p> <p>Mauvish - thanks so much. The neutral outfit is a tan/beige color. I think Eileen Fisher calls it "natural".</p> <p>Angie - I appreciate the proportions comment. Culottes can be tricky where the length is concerned.</p> <p>Kerry - the grey is actually a natural/tan color...and yes, that is a clear case on my iPhone. With a glass screen protector, it provides just enough protection.</p> <p>Brooklyn - thanks for the hair comment. Mine grows like a weed, so it's easy to cut shorter every now and again. Funny about the shoes..did you notice they are the same shoes, but in different colors for both outfits? The brand is "Earth" and they are several years old. I wear them constantly.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691866 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 00:33:43 +0000 Brooklyn 1691866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so fab. It's a shame you are not enjoying the length of your hair. It looks very sleek. And I think I need your shoes for next summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691850 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 23:54:19 +0000 kerry 1691850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1. The tonal greys with the pop of colour is gorgeous. Can I ask you about your iPhone? Do you have a clear case on it? Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691742 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 19:00:37 +0000 Angie 1691742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1. Killer look and proportions on you. GREAT length of culottes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691721 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 18:32:44 +0000 Mauvish 1691721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants look great in you. Better than model.<br /> I really like both of your ensembles but outfit 1 stand out to me eyes because of its beautiful shade. Is it gray or sand ? Cannot really tell on my teeny phone screen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691701 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 18:16:04 +0000 Anonymous 1691701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are flattering on you and look great, I really love that silk blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691696 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 18:03:02 +0000 rachylou 1691696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are so amazing! Fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691695 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 18:02:39 +0000 rabbit 1691695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The neutral outfit is so great, and the color combination is probably even better in daylight - I love orange bags. &nbsp;The silky tunic looks like a dream to wear, and the pattern is enticing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691689 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 17:48:49 +0000 Suz 1691689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cheryl</b>, that is so interesting about the way you press a crease in the EF crops. I love them on you -- so much better than on the model! The vertical line really gives them a crisper look and more streamlined and tailored. Brava on bossing your clothes around. The neutral outfit looks beautiful with the bright bag, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also love the tunic on you -- it looks swishy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691685 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 17:40:34 +0000 JAileen 1691685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the neutral outfit with the pop of color. I like the creases too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691667 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 16:53:23 +0000 pil 1691667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those crops in #1, the crease gives them an entirely different feel than in the finds photo. Orange is such a fun color, and even better that your bag has turned into a workhorse. And a bias photo for your bias cut top - clever and cute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691664 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 16:48:49 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1691664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pants better with the crease too. You look chic and relaxed.<br /> Love the colors on the second top. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/couple-of-wiws-2#post-1691620 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 14:57:00 +0000 dakotacheryl 1691620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hadn't posted a WIW in a while, so thought I would post a couple of favorites.</p> <p>I'm wearing those EF wide leg crops in #1, but I press a center crease in them...like the lines better that way. This orange Hobo &nbsp;bag has turned into quite a workhorse for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>The silk tunic in #2 is a departure from my usual "solid color" garments. It is silk, and cut on the bias and I love it. The colors are so much fun to pick up with jewelry, bags and bottoms. I was carrying the orange Hobo, but forgot to include it in the photo.</p> <p>Comments, critiques always welcome!!</p> <p>PS<br />My hair is driving me crazy...too hot on my neck...I see a shorter cut on my next hair appointment. </p>
