I'm on team "variety of pants silouettes" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289488 Thu, 03 Nov 2022 11:15:50 +0000 Jules 2289488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely fab! I like all the pieces and the styling feels very "you". Colours are harmonious with your colouring (the black with your dark eyes and brows; lighter flowers that pick up your hair). All together this feels like a current expression of your personal style.</p> <p>For me these remain classic fallback proportions that work for my body type, even if not the most current (re: suggestions to try a wider pant or tuck the shirt). I'm a bit of a block in wider pants with tucked shirts and sometimes that's ok, but other times I want the curves that skinnier pants provide.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289352 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 23:16:23 +0000 Nomad 2289352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about this look, and I think the blouse is beautiful and flattering on you. I'd love to see how it looks tucked or semi-tucked (and taller boots could be fun, but not necessary to my eye), but I love your polished edginess. Personally, I really like the slimmer pants but I'm a slow adopter and haven't entirely caught up to the wider pants trend... and boots are my favorite clothing item so I like bottoms that show them off. </p> <p>Also, I love your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289296 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 17:25:02 +0000 phoebe 2289296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, versatile pairing that seems so practical to have in the closet and suits you very well.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289292 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 17:21:09 +0000 Ellemnop 2289292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have very similar body types, which makes for an interesting experience analyzing outfits! My first thought was that you look gorgeous, artful and a bit edgy. It wasn't until I imagined that I was looking at a picture of myself that I was able to identify with your flattery concerns ... darn that 'spotlight effect'!&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree that wearing a more fluid pant and tucking or semi-tucking the blouse would visually shorten the torso to offset the high neckline. That might be enough to adjust for the neckline being not technically speaking your 'most flattering'. It would also give you an opportunity to increase the distance between the hem of the jacket and where your blouse ends, reinforcing the 'oversized jacket' look in a way that doesn't overwhelm your frame.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you aren't too concerned with being cold, a cropped fluid pant could work nicely too, bringing some volume without the potentially overwhelming amount of fabric in a fluid full-length pant + high neck + structured jacket combo. Or scrunching/cuffing the jacket sleeves? Ankles or wrists out helps with structure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289193 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 02:11:22 +0000 Jonesy 2289193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The camera angle makes it a little hard to tell, but from what I can see the blouse and blazer look great! Agreeing with others that this color palette is beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289188 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 02:02:25 +0000 CVR 2289188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I have a short neck and a round face myself, I would like to say three cheers for the blazer. &nbsp;</p> <p>the blouse does nothing but deteract from the blazer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289179 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 01:24:23 +0000 Jaime 2289179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great - love the color palette on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289126 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 19:39:05 +0000 rachylou 2289126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse is very very flattering!

I think it looks great on you with the blazer. Love the idea of pairing it with wide leg trousers or jeans too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289111 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 18:57:09 +0000 kellygirl 2289111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific!!

I think the collar looks just fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289105 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 18:42:57 +0000 Suz 2289105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pattern of the blouse is gorgeous with your hair. I think this would look fantastic with a more fluid pant, but the colour of these is great!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289095 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 18:16:31 +0000 Lesley 2289095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, I love your hair, and I have a short neck and round head, so this gives me hope for that kind of collar too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289092 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 17:44:39 +0000 modgrl 2289092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great suggestion Angie! I'm going to try the this look tucked into fluid-er pants next time. You're right about the blazer... it's as oversized as I dare right now... I'm not sure how I would do with a really oversized blazer because of my height.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289090 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 17:25:17 +0000 Angie 2289090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blouse! Blazer looks fably fluid, not oversized. Nice combination of top and topper :)</p> <p>Have you got jeans or pants that aren't skinnies? Relaxed, with ease, wider. Try the look with those too. Try a bit of tucking of the top. Or a taller boot with the skinnies.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289089 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 17:24:27 +0000 modgrl 2289089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I'm going to try this look tucked into pants with some ease next time. </p> <p>@<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/member/ignorantawareness/profile/">Zaeobi</a>, the burgundy pants are from Target. They're cut like jeans but out of a chino type fabric.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289088 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 17:18:55 +0000 Star (Lise) 2289088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning, suits you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289084 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 16:33:43 +0000 Helena 2289084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the collar looks good to my eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289081 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 16:18:56 +0000 Dee 2289081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I don’t see frump that’s for sure, to me its a beautiful pulled together outfit, great colour combinations that looks fab with your hair colour, but it really boils down to how you feel in it.<br />Sometimes it’s our own perceptions that we just can’t seem to shake in order for us to feel happy with how we look in something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289080 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 16:05:01 +0000 Carla 2289080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fab to me! &nbsp;I do love a dark floral. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289079 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 16:03:40 +0000 Roberta 2289079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the blouse with the blazer - the vertical lines of the jacket draw the eye up and down.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is a very polished look and I love a dark floral! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-frumpy-new-to-me-stuff#post-2289078 Mon, 31 Oct 2022 15:53:29 +0000 RobinF 2289078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the blouse and don't think the collar is unflattering.

I’m torn!! </p>
