You still get the drapey but just a shorter version of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722974 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 23:52:50 +0000 JR 722974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get hubby to take you out to a restaurant.

The shell really is nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722923 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 23:01:17 +0000 Ann in New England 722923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, JR. Now if only I had somewhere "out" to go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722895 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 22:14:06 +0000 JR 722895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cardigan is great, as far as I'm concerned. Just not with this outfit. It would look fantastic over a column of black for an evening out, the length making it too dressy and dramatic to be worn with jeans. But in the right context, it would be a real winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722853 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 19:30:33 +0000 Ann in New England 722853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I'm tired of the draped cardigan! Trouble is, I have closet full of them, and feel naked without a topper in all seasons but summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722779 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 18:02:09 +0000 Suz 722779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have already received some great advice, so I will just say that I think the shell is really great on you, and paired with another topper, it will look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722719 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 17:31:09 +0000 Nicole D 722719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the idea of utility jacket or tailored black jacket. Necklace might clash with the cowl neckline. Maybe a bracelet or dangly earrings instead.<br /> Is anyone else tried of the draped cardigan? I know it's feminine and easy to wear, but it has been causing me to yawn lately... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722714 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 17:29:14 +0000 Anonymous 722714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cardigan is too long, but I love everything else! You look beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722713 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 17:29:03 +0000 Ann in New England 722713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was so helpful, thank you!</p> <p>Krista, you read my mind re: the shoes, but I think that's another post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722698 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 17:14:40 +0000 catgirl 722698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this shell would work great with a tailored black blazer. The colors don't seem to go on my monitor. It's good to take pics so we can figure out what's going on - and I don't think any outfit is a loser if something is learned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722686 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 17:08:08 +0000 Krista 722686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would agree that the cardi is too long for this outfit. You can totally wear this shell with these pants (jeans? I can't really tell), but if you had a topper in a dark or brighter color that ends at about the same length as the shell, you would be more in balance.</p> <p>Also, a darker sock inside your shoe to lengthen your leg line!</p> <p>A statement necklace - black or silver? - that fits just inside the scoop neck of the shell would also be great.</p> <p>I think your judgement is spot on about the cardi! I fully believe that taking pictures of our outfits reveals what is bugging us about them.</p> <p>Hope this was helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722683 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 17:07:41 +0000 Kari 722683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann, I don't see this outfit as a loser! I love the color of the shell. It may be the light of the photo, though, but I think the issue may be in the color tones? The shell is more on the blue/purple end of the spectrum whereas the cardigan is very yellow-toned. What about a denim jacket over the shell instead, and a silver pendant necklace? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722681 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 17:06:12 +0000 RunnerChick 722681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann, I'm no expert, but to my eye, it looks like the shell might work better with a more structured topper. In this outfit, it feels a little like the drapiness of the cowl neck is fighting with the drapiness of the cardigan. I like both items quite a bit though - just not sure they are a match for one another. I am also wondering how that shell will look under your denim jacket...or a utility jacket, if you happen to have one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-this-outfit-is-a-loser#post-722679 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 17:01:12 +0000 Ann in New England 722679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trying to wear a summer eBay score that I fear will be an orphan (horizontal striped shell). Paired it with this long flyaway cardi.</p> <p>My thoughts: cardi is too long for me.</p> <p>Vertical ribbing on cardi fights with horizontal stripes on shell.</p> <p>I have no idea what (if any) style of necklace will go with this top.</p> <p>Am I right? I don't yet trust my judgment, so appreciate the input of YLFers. Thank you! </p>
