I think the proportions might be nice.<br />I love the silhouette in 3-4 as well.&nbsp;<br />19 is a stunner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1573638 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 14:17:55 +0000 Ginger 1573638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

Your shoulders and legs are well worth showing off and you have made the architectural look yours by taking advantage of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1573246 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 03:52:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1573246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fantastic outfits on you. They have a fair amount of variety while also looking like part of a cohesive style. My favorites are the same ones Joy picked, and I also love the dress in 17-18. You wear dramatic necklines so well. Congratulations on your progress and results of honing your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1573203 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 01:33:35 +0000 Anonymous 1573203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice mix of conventionally flattering and more daring, less obvious choices. Makes you look like an interesting and elegant woman who can still be surprising.</p> <p>Happily, you are starting with a fundamentally super attractive foundation! And super nice legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1573199 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 01:24:58 +0000 Suz 1573199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely <b>LOVE</b> the top in 11/12. That would be a total workhorse in my closet, I can tell you.&nbsp;</p> <p>These are all fantastic looks, but my favourites are the same as <b>Joy</b>'s -- 11/12; 14/15; 19. Absolutely stunning. As <b>Vildy</b> says, you have a gorgeous shoulder line, so why not show it off (esp. in the heat).&nbsp;</p> <p>I really enjoyed today's casual look, also. Dramatic yet easy.&nbsp;</p> <p>So glad you are feeling better about the change. Sometimes you need to do a little shopping to make it all work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1573167 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 23:15:10 +0000 Cococat 1573167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you again. The 2 new tops are shapes I wouldn't usually try because they're so loose, but I'm really happy with how they look. </p> <p>Carole I do try to look for interesting necklines and I think it will be more important now that I'm trying to focus on a more monochrome palette. The only downside is that I need to wear a strapless bra with the dress in #19, but it will be worth it for special occasions. </p> <p>Stephanie, I haven't tried the new top with my placement print skirt, but that's a great idea! </p> <p>The only other thing I would like now is a dramatic black skirt like the one in the pic. I'm in no hurry though. </p> <p>I need to continue with downsizing and creating a work capsule (most important as I work 5 days a week), casual capsule for the weekends, and special occasion capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1573047 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 18:21:05 +0000 shedev 1573047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some really nice pics. Love the dresses in 17 and 19. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1573040 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 18:05:10 +0000 Stephanie 1573040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! It's amazing what addin just a few pieces can do I love the crop top and #2 and #19 are especially beautiful on you. Did you try the top in #1 and #2 with the skirt in #9? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1572987 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 15:28:14 +0000 Carole 1572987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cue top is outstanding!!! What a great piece. Love love love outfit 5, that skirt is just beautiful on you. And the necklines in the dresses are so interesting and flattering...that is something I try to find and it never happens!!! You must be and IT like me;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1572930 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 13:15:29 +0000 Anonymous 1572930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is coming together beautifully. My favorite looks are 11-12, 14-15, and 19. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1572915 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 11:27:57 +0000 Helen11 1572915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very happy and rightly so! Good to hear you found some great items you already had, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1572908 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 10:15:12 +0000 Cococat 1572908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Brooklyn and Sterling. I am feeling so much happier with how thngs are coming together. </p> <p>#9 is quite a clash. The back of the skirt is all black and it has a front placement print. I doubt I would wear them together if the skirt was an all over print, but I don't mind just a little bit of print clashing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1572906 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 10:00:54 +0000 Anonymous 1572906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh WOW. &nbsp;You look fabulous. &nbsp;There are no other words to describe you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1572903 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 09:29:00 +0000 Cococat 1572903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Vildy! We have long hot Summers where I am in Oz, and it's good to have plenty of sleeveless options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1572902 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 09:27:50 +0000 Brooklyn 1572902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No 19 looks amazing on you!!! But they all look great and like you are travelling in the right direction. The only one I would question is no 9 because there is a lot of colour there! But I have to say, you look very happy in all the pics. And that is the most important thing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1572900 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 09:19:37 +0000 Vildy 1572900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just WoW.&nbsp; I think you've done a brilliant job figuring out a Look. And so much of it shows off your gorgeous shoulders and shoulder line, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-better-about-new-direction-lots-of-pics#post-1572895 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 08:18:56 +0000 Cococat 1572895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I said I wasn't going to shop for awhile, but I've been struggling finding interesting basics in my wardrobe that are black or white, so I have made what I hope are a few strategic purchases. I can't remember when I've last shopped strategically instead of emotionally, and I have made several returns and exchanges in the past 2 days to end up with some pieces I'm really happy with.</p> <p>#1, 2, 5, 6. New white crop top (Jayson Brundsen) with Metalicus tube skirt, Piper full midi skirt, printed midi skirt front and side view. All work looks.<br />#3 &amp; 4. Piper top and same Metalicus skirt as #1. Fossil bag. I wore this out shopping today. Casual weekend look.<br />#7-10. Sass and Bide top I bought recently tried with different skirts. All work looks. I think that this top will be such a workhorse. It looks good with slim pants as well.<br />#11 and 12. New off white top by Cue. It's such an interesting top. It's like a tabard?, open at the back with a sheer top under. Work look. I think this will look best with pencil skirts and pants/jeans.<br />#13 &amp; 16. New CR pencil skirt with subtle fringing trim, worn with CR top from a couple of seasons ago, never worn before because I forgot I had it! I love it and will definitely wear it now. May wear the skirt to work but the top is more of a going out top.<br />#14 &amp; 15. Same skirt worn with CR top from last season. Again never worn, but I wll definitely wear it this season as a going out top.<br />#17 &amp; 18. New casual CR dress worn with vintage belt and flat sandals. <br />#19. CR dress bought on sale at the end of last Summer. It's a light scuba fabric with raw edges and white top stitched seams. This suits my new direction so perfectly and I think I can add tops over this to make it a work look, and on its own as an evening look. </p> <p>I feel that I now have some good basics to play with adding in some of my more unusual B &amp; W things. It really feels like I have something to work with now and I feel like I can go ahead and do some more purging. </p>
