Love that cheery red on you.</p> <p>Like Rae said, extreme mountain chic is what I was thinking --- you'll fit right in, but stand out sharply! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-655446 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 05:42:41 +0000 Deborah 655446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz I love this. I struggle with dressing for such occasions but you have nailed it. I have to tell you how much I love those booties. They work with everything and in this instance elevate the casual look to something a bit special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-655206 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 00:26:28 +0000 cinnamon fern 655206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we have similar legs, and I find long tops difficult too. I think part of why #4 works for me is the curved hem - because the shirt is shorter on the sides it gives a longer leg-line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-655088 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 22:16:35 +0000 catgirl 655088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, well then you're not stubby either. See my lawyer tricks, getting you to admit that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-655086 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 22:13:13 +0000 Suz 655086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did, Traci, but I don't think I was doing it right, LOL! I am going to experiment again when I get to the place. I hope I get a nice full length mirror to play with! </p> <p>You are the best, all of you! It's so helpful to have someone to muse about this stuff with! </p> <p>Una, you are NOT stubby. No way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-655076 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 22:04:53 +0000 Traci 655076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried a half tuck instead of a knot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-655065 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:57:59 +0000 catgirl 655065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I think 4 looks great, I would like to see it with a shorter more fitted cropped jacket. I think these kinds of shirts look best when the top part is "reined in"by the jacket to create almost an A-line. You can totally wear this look, as I've said before! Honestly, I don't see ANY difference between your leg proportions and mine - I am STUBBY!</p> <p>And the rest look great too. I'm with Rita on the knotted look, just isn't my thing, but I love the 2 and 3 - so cozy chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-655060 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:54:14 +0000 Suz 655060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It must be just my own eye then, about the proportion...I really don't get it. Because unknotted it still looks too long to me! I suppose I could always hem it to the length that I like better, but not until I get back from my trip. </p> <p>It's interesting that one or two others share my perception. If I had long legs this wouldn't bother me a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-655020 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:15:57 +0000 Aida 655020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really really like #2-4 (esp. #4!!), those proportions all look super to me. I much prefer the top untucked than knotted with the white jacket, though I suspect that without the knot you could wear it both ways :)</p> <p>EDIT: I meant without the JACKET you could wear it either knotted or unknotted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654856 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 18:36:32 +0000 Meredith1953 654856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the layering and the proportions look great to me! Each pieces plays very nicely with all the others and you look adorable in that cheery plaid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654851 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 18:30:13 +0000 Sarah A 654851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fun western look! All the mix and match is great and will serve you well. The booties are totally making the look for me. I hope you really enjoy your workshop in Banff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654811 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:29:51 +0000 cobaltblue 654811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, these are fabulously mixed and matched! I need to start checking out the kids' sections, as you seem to be finding some great loot there.</p> <p>I see what you mean about number 4. Do you think the curved hem of the shirt could be contributing to the difficulty? The jacket cuts across in a straight line, as do the lines of the plaid, and then the hem swoops down below? Just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654795 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:08:38 +0000 nancylee 654795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fabulous looks, Suz. You are really honing your mix-and-match skills with this packing challenge. I haven't had time to comment much this week, but I'm loving what you've put together and hope you have a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654754 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:18:55 +0000 Suz 654754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise! You've got to see my other post!! I am sending you lots of YLF love today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654753 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:16:33 +0000 CocoLion 654753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all of these work very well, nothing looks off in the proportions and I like the layering. Layering with different lengths and pulling it all off shows real style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654736 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:00:46 +0000 harmonica 654736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, Suz!

I personally prefer the shirt in #4 but you as the wearer must like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654724 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:40:15 +0000 rae 654724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to wear all of these looks RIGHT NOW! </p> <p>(That means I like 'em). ;)</p> <p>This is some serious mountain chic - maybe a bit "Ralph Lauren"? Lovesit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654669 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:33:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 654669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now this is Western style I can get behind!

Perhpas it is not an issue for you but it would be for me. I like it best in the last picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654659 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:25:32 +0000 cinnamon fern 654659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! I agree with Tanya that the proportions of #4 look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654655 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:23:49 +0000 Suz 654655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I think it works on you because you are very sylph-like. Your body may indeed be longer than your legs, but your legs are long-looking and slender. All your limbs are slim! But for me, with my more muscular legs, it just feels peculiar. I need to experiment more to find the exact sweet spot for a cropped jacket and hanging-loose top. It CAN work, but I need to be very picky about fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654654 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:22:47 +0000 Anonymous 654654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these looks. You can't go wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654649 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:20:04 +0000 celia 654649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are on a roll.This variations on the same theme are also winners.<br /> I can see what you mean about the untucked tops and have been wondering about those porportions in myself also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654648 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:19:30 +0000 Tanya 654648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything Suz, including the last outfit! I wear that proportion often and it looks good to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654647 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:17:53 +0000 Astrid 654647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another winner! Love every variation of this outfit, Suz. The new plaid shirt looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-knotty-more-banff-closet-play#post-654644 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:15:18 +0000 Suz 654644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, here is another possible Banff look - going western and trying the knotted top - bought, by the way, from the boys' wear section. </p> <p>Here with my Reports and the straight leg jeans I am bringing. </p> <p>Also, with the down vest in case it gets cold. </p> <p>And with my brand new rain slicker if it gets rainy. It is not quite red, not quite pink IRL. The colour is called red but it is more like a bright berry. This replaces an old EB rain jacket that was much too large for me. I got it on a super sale. </p> <p>Also, showing the plaid shirt untucked so you can see why I am not a fan of cropped jackets with long tops on me. The proportions have to be JUST right...and they are usually wrong. I CAN do it with a top that ends right at the crotch, but any lower and I think it looks off. </p> <p>This is my last post before I go. Hope to get pictures when I am away. In the meantime, thank you SO much for your encouragement and support! You really helped me out in a big way with inspiration and wise counsel. </p> <p>Sorry to post and run but will check back this afternoon for replies. </p>
