I tried it on in boston and I had the same problem.&nbsp;I love the color of the skirt and it sounds like Angie has given you some great direction. Good luck finding another blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1260047 Sat, 24 May 2014 14:30:54 +0000 Angie 1260047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. It's going to make a big difference. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259778 Sat, 24 May 2014 02:20:27 +0000 pil 1259778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your constructive and honest opinions!<br /> Thistle and Texstyle, I really like the hemline of the tops you linked to, thanks.<br /> Angie, I think tapering the skirt is a good idea. Should the taper begin at the widest part of my hips/thighs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259740 Sat, 24 May 2014 01:15:13 +0000 Angie 1259740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil, I agree that the top is a return. I also think that the pencil skirt could do with a little side seam tapering. How do you feel about that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259681 Fri, 23 May 2014 23:42:56 +0000 Isabel 1259681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil, I am not liking it either. &nbsp;It seems to overwhelm your hot self !<br />&nbsp;<div>The colors are awesome on you though.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259677 Fri, 23 May 2014 23:40:59 +0000 K. Period. 1259677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I have a different perspective but wind up a the same point as everyone else. &nbsp;</p> <p>I actually like the top&nbsp;a lot. &nbsp;I think it fits you well and is very pretty. &nbsp;I think it looks right with the shorts. &nbsp;As JG said, flattering and modern. &nbsp;</p> <p>I think there is a disconnect, though, between the top and your skirt. The skirt is a very strait, very conservative classic style. I think it would work better if the skirt&nbsp;were a more fitted shape, like a fluted trumpet skirt or a more tapered pencil skirt. &nbsp;You need something to rein in the volume and give you curves because the shirt isn't super fitted. Since you already own and love the skirt, the shirt should go back!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259676 Fri, 23 May 2014 23:40:38 +0000 jackiec 1259676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the top with the shorts, but that's not really the point is it. The top that Thistle suggested looks amazing! Something along those lines would be fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259646 Fri, 23 May 2014 23:03:49 +0000 JG 1259646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I love the shorts outfit. Casual shorts and feminine, grownup top, (in the smaller size) - I think it's flattering and modern. To be honest, I like the first outfit, too. I think I'd try it with a statement necklace and/or a white blazer and a white or pastel clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259622 Fri, 23 May 2014 22:21:13 +0000 Karie 1259622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like it with the shorts, but not so much with the skirt. I think I'd keep looking... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259590 Fri, 23 May 2014 21:11:21 +0000 kellygirl 1259590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the smaller blouse in all iterations. I think the size up looks too big.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259586 Fri, 23 May 2014 21:08:28 +0000 texstyle 1259586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if you want to do black but I like it with hot pink.</p> </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/eileen-fisher-bateau-neck-sleeveless-tunic/3695461?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=796&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-3_5_B" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ei.....gory-perso</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259580 Fri, 23 May 2014 21:03:12 +0000 texstyle 1259580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd pass on the top - I&nbsp;do really like the one Thistle linked to but it looks like it's not available.

That print on something less boxy would be lovely, but alas nobody asked us for design input </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259572 Fri, 23 May 2014 20:58:14 +0000 Janet 1259572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, I understand. Ted doesn't love me either. I think a lot of women&nbsp;find his cuts to be quite difficult to wear.&nbsp;&nbsp;A shame because the prints are gorgeous. The skirt is fab on you -- I'm sure there is a better top out there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259566 Fri, 23 May 2014 20:54:48 +0000 celia 1259566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that top is not fab enough for you. Ted is not worthy of you.<br />I have no suggestions but am sure that you will find a top to wear with that skirt in that wonderful color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259561 Fri, 23 May 2014 20:48:07 +0000 Thistle 1259561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you that this is a return.&nbsp; I am sorry.&nbsp; The floral is pretty, but . . . well, frankly, it looks matronly. I am sorry. Remember, though, it is the clothes and <i>not you</i>. </p> <p>As for the mid-morning wedding, I am a lover of skirts. What about&nbsp; alovely asymetrical hem top to go with the skirt? The one below is an Angie pick, but I have seen some lovely others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dont-think-ted-loves-me#post-1259546 Fri, 23 May 2014 20:33:06 +0000 pil 1259546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been anxiously awaiting this Ted Baker top and it showed up today. We were at Ted Baker during the Boston meet up and I fell in love with the florals there. I ordered it hoping to be able to wear it with a pencil skirt to a mid morning wedding in late August but don't think it is going to work. I nearly didn't post pictures but changed my mind.</p> <p>The B at the top of the photo indicates the bigger size, which I think looks maternity-esque especially untucked. Then there would also be the issue of a topper if deemed necessary by the weather. Maybe a belt would make a difference with the tucked version.</p> <p>Maybe I should just break down and get a dress, it might be easier. I liked the idea of the skirt and top to be able to wear the top with other pieces. </p> <p>I suppose the top might work with other bottoms like white jeans and crops or boyfriends. </p> <p>What do you think? Thanks! </p>
