It's definitely more flattering with two cuffs (love it with the pumps!). The shorts are very cute too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/four-new-purchases-need-opinions#post-66087 Mon, 18 May 2009 22:43:50 +0000 susan 66087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no expert, but I disagree with your friend. To my eye, the shorter capris are much more flattering. Congrats on the shorts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/four-new-purchases-need-opinions#post-66083 Mon, 18 May 2009 22:28:52 +0000 planetamy 66083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ended up taking the brown jacket and cranberry wrap top back. The style of the wrap top is flattering, but...the material feels cheap. </p> <p>I was able to find the shorts in one size down. yay!</p> <p>I'm still not sure which length (longer or shorter) to go with for the capris. </p> <p>After reading everyone's comments, I was gonna go for the shorter version (and get them hemmed, not just roll them up). Then a friend of mine said that the longer version makes my legs look longer. So now I'm all confused again. </p> <p>help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/four-new-purchases-need-opinions#post-65979 Mon, 18 May 2009 13:21:30 +0000 kimlee 65979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will echo the sentiments of the other posters. I love the cranberry top and walking shorts. I do agree that the shorts could fit better - I think you thoughts of going down a size and sewing the pockets down is just the fix. I also think two cuffs on the brown pants is the way to do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/four-new-purchases-need-opinions#post-65968 Mon, 18 May 2009 11:57:38 +0000 Ele 65968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, planetamy. Here are my thoughts...</p> <p>Jacket: I love the colour and the style of this, but agree with the others that it's not the most flattering shape. </p> <p>Cranberry top: I love this colour, and the shape is great on you. I will say that it's probably a bit too short to wear with pants, but it could just be the way it's ruched up in the photo? Great skirt top, though. </p> <p>Brown crops: I actually think both lengths work well on you (you've got great legs!), but the shorter one is probably a touch better. </p> <p>Walk shorts: I agree that you could probably go down a size in these. However, I've got to agree with Anne on the length- they look a touch too short to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/four-new-purchases-need-opinions#post-65966 Mon, 18 May 2009 11:52:08 +0000 anne 65966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoops - duplicate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/four-new-purchases-need-opinions#post-65965 Mon, 18 May 2009 11:48:07 +0000 anne 65965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the top, not keen on the jacket - go for 2 cuffs.</p> <p>I am not sure about the length of the shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/four-new-purchases-need-opinions#post-65947 Mon, 18 May 2009 07:40:18 +0000 Louise 65947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure about the brown jacket</p> <p>Love the cranberry top</p> <p>2 cuffs on the brown trousers they are gorgeous </p> <p>The colour of the cranberry shorts is fab but not sure about the fit ,too big?x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/four-new-purchases-need-opinions#post-65921 Mon, 18 May 2009 03:38:17 +0000 cciele 65921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the cranberry top and shorts the best. I think the shorts are a great length, and they look very cute styled with the button-down and matching scarf.</p> <p>I'm not that excited about the jacket; I don't think it flatters your figure. Maybe try a different top underneath?</p> <p>I also vote for the shorter length on your pants.</p> <p>Great buys, planetamy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/four-new-purchases-need-opinions#post-65914 Mon, 18 May 2009 03:05:45 +0000 Chris 65914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jacket - love the color but I think you are right about the fight - it does not seem right somehow. </p> <p>Crops - I vote for two cuffs.</p> <p>Cranberry top - great color! </p> <p>Shorts - not sure they fit you properly either - try the other sizes since you are going back? </p> <p>NY &#38; CO always has such great sales and coupons! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/four-new-purchases-need-opinions#post-65877 Mon, 18 May 2009 01:04:27 +0000 planetamy 65877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I promise this is the last post from me today! lol</p> <p>I bought a bunch of stuff on sale today at NY&#38;CO and wanted to get opinions...</p> <p>1. brownish military style jacket (it's not meant to close):<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8074025@N06/3540995836/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/8.....540995836/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8074025@N06/3540998182/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/8.....otostream/</a></p> <p>I loved this on the hanger but now looking at the pics, I feel like this makes me look wider than I am...kind of boxy? </p> <p>Keep or Return?</p> <p>2. cranberry wrap top:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8074025@N06/3540181067/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/8.....otostream/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8074025@N06/3540182343/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/8.....otostream/</a></p> <p>Keep or Return?</p> <p>3.
