I love that greenish wash, Tanya. It's different, and almost sea foam. I would have bought the stye in white too - but they were ripped.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1470015 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 16:08:43 +0000 Tanya 1470015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your input, Diana and Meredith!</p> <p>Diana, that is a center seam on the lilac too. I really like the color, but can probably do better interns of cut and fit. As for the silk top, it is little shorter than white one, and also I appears shot because of my long torso. </p> <p>Glad you like the peplum, you should definitively check it out. It also comes in black and shimmery charcoal (attached in finds). It has a dramatic exposed zipper down the whole back and the material is very nice: lots of rayon instead if usually polyester for scuba. Thank you for all the styling photos too, that helps a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1470000 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 15:53:09 +0000 Meredith 1470000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You already have great advice, just wanted to say I love the colors you're working with here and the assymetrical top is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1469995 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 15:35:34 +0000 Diana 1469995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie, the jeans and the peplum top are killer and the white top is nice too.&nbsp; I am not wild about the lilac one, but I think it might just be that line down the front (is it a crease?&nbsp; or a seam?) because I have poison eye for center front seams.&nbsp; The crop top seems a little too cropped, or else maybe not cropped enough?&nbsp; But again I am not wild about that silhouette (high waisted pants with cropped top) so take my opinion with a grain of salt.&nbsp; </p> <p>The peplum is very similar to my green one!&nbsp; (I think you mentioned that when I wore it last week.)&nbsp; I might have to go check out the other colors at H&amp;M - I need a peplum with no waist seam like this one and they are rare.&nbsp; I find mine surprisingly versatile.&nbsp; It seems to go with most pants and even a lot of skirts, just so long as they don't have too much volume at the waist or hip.&nbsp; Basically nothing that would cause the peplum to stick out funny.&nbsp; I really like mine with my black dress trousers - BR calls them "straight leg" but they look more like loose bootcuts on me - and with my distressed BF jeans.&nbsp; Here's some ways I have styled it - with the trousers (1), with the suit (2, same trousers as 1), with BFs (3), with flares (4), and with a lightweight skirt (5). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1469979 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:59:04 +0000 Tanya 1469979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for your input in rolling the jeans, Suz and Angie. I will choose what to do based on the footwear. Angie, your Arizona outfit is gorgeous. We would have been complete twins if the blouse worked for me. I did not realize that you got the jeans in this wash. </p> <p>Thank you for feedback on the tops, too. The peplum top is my favorite of the bunch, it is. A shape that works well with my body type. I will take the silk tee and boxy sweatshirt back. I do like them, but seeng the photos I can say that they are not 10s and I really have to make each new piece count this season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1469956 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:29:07 +0000 Angie 1469956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*waving at my jeans twin*</p> <p>I LOVE those cropped Slim Straights Tanya, WOW. (I have the exact same pair). Super comfy. I wear the no-roll with <i>ankle strap</i> footwear only - (you know me and my complicated relationship with cropped pants). For example, I will be wearing the combination below in Arizona later in the month where it will be very hot.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will wear the rolled hem versions with white loafers, black pointy toe ballet flats, and slipper flats.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE THAT PEPLUM TOP in #5. Absolutely killer with the jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the white cropped lace top too. Perfect.&nbsp;</p> <p>The other tops stand out less - and may I suggest that you return them seeing as your budget is very tight. Hold out for more killer pieces.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1469924 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:14:47 +0000 Suz 1469924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others about roll vs. no roll. Both work -- just depends on your footwear and the general look you want to get across.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the new tops! They all look great. I am not sure what to suggest about belts and bottoms -- I would try playing around a bit. I tend to prefer filled belt loops if the loops are going to be visible, but the this also depends a lot on the other elements of the outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1469896 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 12:28:33 +0000 Tanya 1469896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, Shevia, Karrie, Rabbit and Jackie!</p> <p>It seems that there lots of possibility here and not many definitive disctinctions of whetehr oone way is better or not.&nbsp; Interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1469798 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 04:24:42 +0000 jackiec 1469798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just putting to bed dogs &amp; kids but quickly wanted to chime in that the peplum top is a-MAZ-ing on you! LOVE it. Gotta run. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1469790 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 04:04:53 +0000 rabbit 1469790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a great haul!</p> <p>-I think both rolled and unrolled work. &nbsp;I usually choose based on what shoes I'm wearing and things like the heel, the shape of the toe (pointed or rounded) and how casual I'm going for and try both.</p> <p>-for cropped boxy tops I prefer no belt if I'm wanting to emphasize a high-waisted jean look. &nbsp;Sometimes I need a belt to either keep them up or tie in another color in the outfit, in that case I usually wear a regular (wider) belt and the effect is to slightly reduce the high rise look. &nbsp;I don't find that tops get caught on it though.</p> <p>-I think the peplum and belted loose top could work with all three kinds of jeans, but probably works best with jeans that are body con through the thighs - either skinny or flare or straight that hug the thighs. &nbsp;(Although the peplum could work with wider leg trousers maybe too?). &nbsp; I think the peplum would look particularly awesome with flares.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1469787 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 03:54:11 +0000 Karie 1469787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans both with and without the roll. I'd probably wear them with a roll with flats, and without a roll with heels.&nbsp;</p> <p>I always prefer belt loops filled, but in this case it might be a problem with a cropped top - the top might get caught on the buckle. I'd be tempted to leave off the belt.</p> <p>The tops in #4 and #6 look great with the Res Straights you're wearing, so I'd say skinnies or slim straights, but then I think they'd look good with a pair of fitted flares too. I personally wouldn't wear a pant with too much volume with these styles of&nbsp;tops.</p> <p>Looks like you had a very successful shopping trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1469729 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 02:46:12 +0000 Jaime 1469729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rather than answering your questions, I will just say that you look fantastic in your new purchases. In particular, I love the peplum top. I think I like the jeans without the roll. I am pretty hopeless with belt advice though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-resolution-jeans-and-other-spring-refreshers-with-a-couple-of-qs#post-1469715 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 02:18:26 +0000 Tanya 1469715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not shopping much this season, and here are my first purchases.&nbsp; I am generally pretty happy about them, but please mention if you think something should go back.&nbsp; I am focusing mainly on tops, of three types: cropped&amp;boxy, waist defining and 70s blouses.</p> <p>Earlier today I got&nbsp; Gap Resolution straight jeans in pale wash that Angie raved about on the forum.&nbsp; These are to replace my pale COH skinnies that ripped fairly soon after I purchased them.&nbsp; I had them fixed, only to have them rip again. You can see the Gap jeans in all of these photos. The new tops are: <br />in #1- cropped boxy BR tee with lace sleeves<br />in #2- lilac boxy scuba H&amp;M top<br />in #3- cropped patterned silk tee<br />in #4&amp;# 5 - H&amp;M asymmetric teal scuba peplum top with a flounce<br />I also got a skinny Loft belt in pale seafoam (#6) to wear over loose tops.&nbsp; The color matches my pale blue moto.</p> <p>I have a couple questions though:<br />1.&nbsp; The jeans are cropped at the ankle, so do you prefer them trolled or unrolled?<br />2.&nbsp; For cropped boxy tops (1-3) worn with high waisted bottoms, do you prefer the belt loops empty, a skinny belt or a wider belt?<br />3. What kind of pant/jean shape does a waist defining&nbsp; top like the peplum&nbsp; (4,5) work best with? Skinny, straight, or something flared?<br />4. Same question for loose belted tops like in #6?</p> <p>Thank you very much!</p> </p>
