I love them on others as they can be&nbsp;very practical, and make a great, streamlined silloutte over the torso, but for me, I&nbsp;just don't know how to approch&nbsp; styling them for my life-always afraid to look preggie! <br />But you did it sooo well!:-) It&nbsp;surelly has to do&nbsp; with the wearers height, as per Angie said. (I'm just 1,70cm-and have strong shouders, and&nbsp;DD cups, so that can be a little problem-looking like a block??:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035621 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 15:31:50 +0000 Day Vies 1035621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great formula!&nbsp; I love the tunic layered over the tee and the scarf adds more visual interest. I guess I prefer with the scarf because it makes the outfit look for finished. I'm not sure if you're a fan of leggings but I could see it with a pair of those and tall boots. I wore something like that here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035599 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 15:10:16 +0000 Angie 1035599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tunics look spectacular on tall ladies. My tall clients rock a tunic like no other. And at 6ft 2 Ornella, may I crown you Queen Tunic. </p> <p>Love the outfit. Especially with the cravat scarf. The BF jeans add a fun modern flavour. You look sensational, Ms. O. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035561 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 13:51:59 +0000 Beth Ann 1035561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would never have thought of the combination, but then I see it on you and it seems like a fabulous uniform.&nbsp; You have such an eye, along with Ingunn, for pairing classics and amplifying their impact.&nbsp; I like the looser jeans as an option, and I think this outfit would be great for cycling.</p> <p>The proportions are spot on on you and you look ready for Fall fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035544 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 13:10:02 +0000 catherine 1035544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big fan of this look, and it looks especially beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035237 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 23:26:38 +0000 cobaltblue 1035237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both, and the short sleeve over the stripey long sleeve really works for me. </p> <p>Skinnies would work too, but I like the unexpected bf jeans.</p> <p>Your note in my inbox really brightened my day!<br /> Becky </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035225 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 23:07:15 +0000 Sara L. 1035225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tunic looks great on you and I love the idea of the short sleeves that you can then layer over different shirts to get different looks. &nbsp;Great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035151 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 22:12:44 +0000 Sveta 1035151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, I think I was one of those who always love you in tunics! they are incredibly flattering on you because they balance out your proportions nicely and your height carries off the length beautifully.<br />BUT...I am not loving it with these jeans. It is OK but not as stellar as it can be. I think that skinnies and even slim straight legs would work great here, adding structure on the bottom and balancing our the volume.<br />If I were to try and make this tunic work with BF jeans I would try to semi-tuck it to rein in some volume and length and add some structure by exposing the belt and more leg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035142 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 22:03:37 +0000 Anonymous 1035142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this!

I think for us taller gals it helps balance out long legs, don't you think? I love this look and the added scarf adds a nice finishing element Well done, Ornella! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035105 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 20:53:39 +0000 Kristin L 1035105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035079 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 20:06:09 +0000 Ornella 1035079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you.</p> <p></p> <p><b>Lisa</b> :: I love the idea of sweatercoat.</p> <p><b>Astri</b>d :: you are welcome to stop by on the way back and we can pay the store a visit&nbsp;;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035071 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 19:58:05 +0000 Astrid 1035071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions, I think the baggier pants make it more interesting than it would be with skinnies, not that those wouldn't work all the same. I think it's a great formula! I forgot you had the s.Oliver outlet in the neighbourhood, lucky you. Especially good for jeans, I always found something there when I went to have a look with my friend (the same one I'm visiting tomorrow). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035064 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 19:51:27 +0000 catgirl 1035064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a tunic and skinnies. Not sure of the looser jeans, and I would not find the short over long sleeve situation easy. So one gal's easy is another gal's struggle?</p> <p>Love seeing you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035061 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 19:45:31 +0000 Lisa 1035061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever idea to layer with a striped shirt.&nbsp; I really like the idea to add a woven shirt as a layer here too.&nbsp; For myself, I would pair this length of top with my ponte pants which cannot be worn without a longer top.&nbsp; And I am a big fan of sweatercoats, so I would pop on one of those over the tunic for more warmth.&nbsp; I like a long layer with a long layer.&nbsp; If you like to tuck, depending on the thickness, this tunic may also work as a top for a skirt.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1035028 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 19:15:48 +0000 Freckles 1035028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really love this outfit formula. &nbsp;No preferance between scarf and none other than I have a sweet eye for scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1034964 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:12:58 +0000 Anonymous 1034964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear what the others say about the bit of volume from the BF's, but I kind of like the look on you. It looks quite creative and unusual... in a good way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1034936 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 17:45:53 +0000 unfrumped 1034936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. My eye is not used to this look. Now, I'm not fashion-forward, as you know, so that may be it. I think because it's a little bulky, it does not look "easy"--even though it might be more comfortable than more fitted leggings or whathaveyou. I lose the easiness of the BF look when topped by the long topper, and the ease of the short dress when over the baggier pants.<br />Not sure what would adjust it toward more effortless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1034928 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 17:35:29 +0000 Sarah A 1034928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the basic here very well. You look great! As for as there being other ideas besides jeans... it depends on how unconventional you are comfortable with. I think a pencil skirt and belting to make a peplum type dress shilouette could be interesting (but I am not sure how it would actually work....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1034921 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 17:27:34 +0000 jayne 1034921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of it over bright colored jeggings...if I wore tunics, i would wear jeggings, and high boots.&nbsp; I think you look adorable, but cannot analyze why.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1034904 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 17:02:39 +0000 Ornella 1034904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Wendi</b> :: thanks.

I think I'll try it myself. Where do you find nice tunics? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1034855 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:05:32 +0000 Ornella 1034855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Thistle</b> :: thanks, more colourful scarves are in the pipeline :-)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Annie</b> :: thank you.&nbsp;The skinnies would be my first choice of pants normally, but they were in the washing and I wanted to try these too (the closest I came to having a BF ;-)&nbsp;). I do have ponte pants and I've thought of them too, but structure-inclined-me loves at least one main part of my outfit to be woven, so I'd probably wear&nbsp;ponte pants in travel outfits only when comfort is no.1 priority. But, I'll try the combination&nbsp;later in the year travel or no travel, when the tall boots come out - maybe they will give me the structure I want.<br />As for patterned jeans, that's a nice idea but with my luck of finding any jeans in longer lengths, I remain doubtful something will come up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1034844 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 15:53:11 +0000 AnnieMouse 1034844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loev the idea of this. The proportions are solid, I like its flexibility. I love how you'll be able to change it up so much with different tops/ blouses, scarves, and statement jewelry.</p> <p>I do wish, a bit, that the pants were a bit more close fitting, but that's a quibble of personal preference, as I tend to like something slim to balance volume. </p> <p>There seems to be quite a bit of love for ponte pants around here, so that might be an option, if it wouldn't make you feel too exposed, or patterned jeans of some variety to mix up the bottoms a bit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1034843 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 15:52:47 +0000 Thistle 1034843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this could definately be a cold weather formula. You look terrific!</p> <p>I would perahps add a scarf with a bit more color. Like a pop of red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-find-my-cold-weather-formula#post-1034831 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 15:36:32 +0000 Ornella 1034831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or at least one of them?</p> </p> <p>Wearing tunics is something I can't break down in terms of why it works, I just know to my eye it does - I like the length and so far the forum comments in the past&nbsp;have been encouraging too.</p> </p> <p>I've always wanted basic black tunic which I can treat as blank canvas, so when I came across this one I bought it without hesitation. It has a nice cowl-neck collar although not too elaborate, and I can leave it without the scarf or put the scarf on.&nbsp;And since we've switched to Autumn overnight, I used the first chance and try it out at last.</p> </p> <p>The photo on the left shows the tunic layered over the tee shirt, the one on the right has the scarf added too. With my scarf collection and the remaining tee shirts in my wardrobe, if I stick to these elements of the outfit alone, I already have more combinations to wear than there are days in the Autumn and Winter.&nbsp;</p> </p> <p>I also plan to wear the tunic with button downs and turtlenecks. I would appreciate your input about other styling ideas and the bottom part of the outfit - do I have any other options except different styles of jeans?</p> </p> <p>But, the main questions are: </p> <ol> <li>Does this basic outfit work?</li> <li> Is there anything that needs tweaking?</li> <li>Any preference for left (no scarf) or right (with scarf) outfit?</li> </ol> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
