If it feels tough, perhaps try adding a soft scarf or maybe swapping the shirt for a soft blouse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500734 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:33:40 +0000 Ginny 500734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1, not too tough at all but a scarf would def. add to it. I like the idea of belting the cardi on your slender fame would be fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500668 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:23:36 +0000 cobaltblue 500668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I forgot the scarf idea! I will definitely try that with #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500666 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:22:07 +0000 Anonymous 500666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, it's SO great to see you post again! You look fantastic. Your haircut is SO FAB and from the looks of your clothes, you've been busy! I agree that you could soften #1 with a scarf. The animal print is pretty subtle so it doesn't look like too much to me. I like the voluminous cardi with them as well and a pendant would be a nice addition to that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500664 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:20:10 +0000 cobaltblue 500664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone for the quick responses and warm greeting! QueenMum, the trip was just fine - thanks for asking, and having my outfits planned really helped me relax a bit. Suz , thanks, I love this hair cut. I think I'm homing in on the exact style I want, but it's still a work in progress.</p> <p>I am wearing the cardigan around the house but will try it belted or with a longer necklace and then probably swap out for a jacket before I go on errands. Then I have to decide on shoes - maybe I'll post again since I can't add pictures to this post, but I hate to fill up the front page. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500643 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:35:41 +0000 Makrame 500643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both combinations; #1 looks more striking and visually interesting to me. I know how it can be slightly uncomfortable when an outfit feels like "too much" (too tough, too fashion forward etc.) so perhaps Sona's idea of softening it with a cropped non-pleather jacket would be good for making you feel more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500638 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:29:41 +0000 Lisa 500638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-I like this. The jacket and leopard print = edgy to me.</p> <p>#2-I also like this one, the cardigan gives a softer look, I'd just swap the shorter necklace for a longer pendant style to tie in the longer v lines of the cardigan.</p> <p>Great short haircut, it really shows off your pretty face! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500637 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:28:44 +0000 teri 500637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1/ I agree that a scarf might bump this outfit up</p> <p>I think the cardi in #2 swallows you a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500632 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:19:27 +0000 Suz 500632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never mind your clothes! LOOK AT THAT HAIR!!!!! </p> <p>You look fantastic with the angled pixie! Please make a post for it so everyone can admire it! Angie's got to see this. </p> <p>Okay, back to your oufits: I LOVE #1. In the pic, I can't see the animal print of the jeans. If this feels too tough for you, personally, then just switch them out for regular skinnies? </p> <p>The cardi in #2 seems a bit too voluminous to me to work well, but what would happen if you belted it? </p> <p>Great to see you post again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500629 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:17:25 +0000 missvee 500629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both of the outfits look good on you and show off your great figure. Adding a scarf to #1 as MNsara suggests is a great idea. Welcome back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500627 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:13:56 +0000 MNsara 500627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is a bit tough overall, but fits perfectly and well proportioned. You can soften it up with a big soft scarf. . .</p> <p>#2 looks comfy and nice. I bet IRL, the print jeans and grey in the cardi play well together.</p> <p>Your legs look a mile long in those skinnies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500626 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:08:47 +0000 Queen Mum 500626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. Great to see you again! How was your trip to CA this past summer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500621 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:03:54 +0000 Sona 500621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the silhouette in 1. I'm not crazy about two because the cardi seems to weigh your petite frame down. How about a more fitted topper like in number 1 but not exactly a pleather jacket? a knit blazer? blue denim jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-tweak-or-overhaul#post-500619 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 13:57:34 +0000 cobaltblue 500619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A resolution of mine is to start posting again and to really get my wardrobe working for me. </p> <p>What do you think of this outfit?</p> <p>1. Feels a little too tough with both animal print jeans and pleather jacket.</p> <p>2. The cardigan and jeans don't harmonize, I guess, but I'll probably wear this today anyway, unless I get good suggestions or inspiration.</p> <p>3. Close-up of the print.</p> <p>Maybe the fuchsia top and jeans don't play nicely together? Am I seeing bad proportions?</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Becky </p>
