You look great Tanya. Can't believe you ever doubted you could pull this off!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58944 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 19:20:51 +0000 Inge 58944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaaaaah Tanya, I never had any doubt that you would rock this look. I actually like both (leggings) lengths, and both tunic lengths too. (Love the ruffly detail on the black? one)</p> <p>I think we can all agree that this is not just a loungewear look;-))<br /> You must be excited to have all these 'new' outfit options now. I can't wait to see more pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58914 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 16:32:49 +0000 HannahC 58914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, you look fantastic! I think leggings will also look great with your shirtdresses - the ones you wore last summer with skinnies. I love both lengths on you, cannot decide which one is better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58841 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 05:20:37 +0000 Asha 58841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this combo. I'm excited to see you try it with dresses as well as tunics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58792 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 00:25:59 +0000 Tanya 58792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for your reply Angie, I truly appreciate it! Yep, I was thinking about wearing them under my shirt and wrap dresses, I even tried some combos and liked them. I can't wait for the nicer weather to wear them for real. And thank you once again for outing this idea in my head in the first place! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58788 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 00:17:33 +0000 Angie 58788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear Tanya, you absolutely get away with the tunics at the shown length because of your body type. As long as the leggings are thick and not see through – it’s class. Enjoy the new look!</p> <p>(You can also wear these leggings under some of your dresses). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58776 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 23:51:04 +0000 Tanya 58776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I honestly can't say. This so new to me that they both look, well, strange to me, so it will probably take a while to figure this out. Thank you for your opinion, that helps a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58775 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 23:47:59 +0000 anne 58775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya did you have a preference yourselft for the length of the leggings? I thought the shorter ones looked better on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58773 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 23:41:19 +0000 Tanya 58773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much! I am very happy to have this option too.</p> <p>Angie, does your killer rating mean that you think that these particular tunics are long enough for leggings? I am sorry to keep bothering you with this, but there were some opinions that they were too short, so I just wanted to be sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58765 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 23:17:10 +0000 Antje 58765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, the look is HOT and you look fabulous in both lengths of leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58754 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 22:18:48 +0000 Angie 58754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well darling, as if there was any doubt in my mind. KILLER. Both looks. I hope you feel as glorious as you look. Well done!</p> <p>Thanks for trying something new, Tanya. That's our YLF mantra :0)</p> <p>Now come on, lasses! Get onto the legging kick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58741 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:17:59 +0000 Anonymous 58741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look definately works for you. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58738 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:12:20 +0000 Laura 58738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in the leggings/tunic combo, Tanya. I can't wait for our weather to get into the 60s so I can sport the look too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58733 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 20:48:35 +0000 elpgal 58733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shiny belt with the turquoise top. And the leggings look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58722 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 19:18:13 +0000 Tanya 58722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much! It looks that I can add this look to my options.</p> <p>On the tunic lengths - I was also thinking that they are borderline long enough. Anyway, it's a not a problem at all - both of these tunics will work with my skinnies, where there is no coverage issues. And I have quite a few longer tunics/shirt dresses from last summer that are going to work with these leggings.</p> <p>Laura, this look is starting to grow on me and I will probably be sporting a lot when the weather starts permitting it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58719 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 19:13:40 +0000 marianne 58719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both lengths - it absolutely works. My only thought is a longer top would work better. I am not a leggings expert, but it seems like it would be more polished. The turquoise tunic looks great on you, BTW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58702 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 18:43:43 +0000 Laura 58702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fantastic look!! How amazing!! My only comment might be that the first top (turquoise) seems borderline too short. The second one looks more like a mid-thigh length, and the fact that it's woven also helps. I think the knit fabric of the first top really demands that it be long enough.</p> <p>Do you love it? This is one of my favorite looks to wear. I always feel cute and comfy in it. In fact, shirtdresses are on my list for fall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58697 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 18:28:09 +0000 Ariadne 58697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, the leggings look great on you. I agree about trying a fuller, non-belted top. Somehow that seems to fit better with the funky, casual style that leggings project to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58696 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 18:27:14 +0000 Tanya 58696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Maya! ( Thanks for the approval).</p> <p>Well, I like your legs much more than my own and wish mine looked more like yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58694 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 18:23:23 +0000 Maya 58694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oops, LEGGINGS, not legs. I like both your legs too though. They seem to go together nicely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58693 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 18:22:48 +0000 Maya 58693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Tanya. I like both legs and think you look great, but I'm biased because I really had no doubt that you would look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58671 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:13:26 +0000 Tanya 58671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies, this sounds like a good start.</p> <p>Andrea, I wanted to wish you a warm welcome ( you are new here right?). This forum is a wonderful ( and quite addictive) place. I hope you stick around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58668 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:05:39 +0000 JewelryGirl 58668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. I would probably try a fuller look on top (tunic style) that isn't belted though. You look GREAT in them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58666 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:03:45 +0000 ChicMomAndrea 58666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I think it makes your legs look very svelte and the overall shape is nice. If I were you, I would rock this look like there was no tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-leggings-a-try#post-58664 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:00:12 +0000 Tanya 58664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always liked the look of leggings under a dress/tunic, but never though it could work for me since I thought it would overemphasize my skinny chicken calves. Inspired by recent Angie's post on the forum on this topic and Maya's generous advice about trying them shorter to visually make my calves look larger I have decided to give them a try before I write them off for good.</p> <p>I got two cropped pairs in different lengths, a black one that's just below the knee and a grey one that hits mid calf.</p> <p><a href="http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn19/dancing_starr/?action=view&#038;current=DSCN4112.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s300.photobucket.com/al.....CN4112.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn19/dancing_starr/?action=view&#038;current=DSCN4113.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s300.photobucket.com/al.....CN4113.jpg</a></p> <p>So what do you think, can I wear leggings at all or not? Which length do you prefer? Can I wear them both?<br /> Please be brutally honest, I can always delegate them to lounge wear if they are not for me.</p> <p>Many thanks! </p>
