Gah. We finally got my stepson to stop with the matted, not-even-dreads look. It's just not appealing to my eye at all, even though *real* dreads can be cool.</p> <p>In other news, I am old. :-/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-shape#post-494110 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:06:29 +0000 CocoLion 494110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, the socks and loafers are two details too much. I would let the coat and skirt play center stage. Or, do the skirt, socks and loafers but with a really simple fitted top, so the bottom part is the star. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-shape#post-494109 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:05:42 +0000 mrseccentric 494109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jenava! i love the shoes as well! to my eye a one or one and a half inch heel (which is what i'm guessing is the height on those shoes) is different than, say, a ballet flat. And i've found that even that much of a heel helps to pull off these more exaggerated silhouettes.</p> <p>Hope that makes more sense! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-shape#post-494004 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 18:37:14 +0000 Jenava 494004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mrs. E, the flat shoe is actually one of the things I like about the look, so I wouldn't add a heel... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-shape#post-493893 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 16:23:14 +0000 mrseccentric 493893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oooh, yum! great silhouette! i've found a couple of key concepts help when pulling off these exaggerated shapes. First, a heel always helps. Second, make certain to create one very fitted part of the look - here it's the top of the thigh. </p> <p>Generally it's somewhere between the bust to just below the knees - but wherever you choose, if you reveal and define your figure somewhere along there it will keep the overall look from being so overwhelming. That said, you may have the most success at first if you try a look where the 'skinny part' is a part of your figure that you feel comfortable emphasizing.</p> <p>Have fun! i love these unusual shapes.....steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-shape#post-493846 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 15:10:11 +0000 Angie 493846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The silhouette is pretty for sure, Jenava. </p> <p>And loafers rock! I can't wait to get a pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-shape#post-493750 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 06:36:55 +0000 Deborah 493750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very eye catching silhouette. I would love to see your version of this Jenava:). It is weird but appealing at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-shape#post-493725 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 05:30:38 +0000 HelenInCanada 493725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're right - it's an interesting look! Mix of very masculine and very feminine. Annagybe, I totally agree with you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-shape#post-493712 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 04:27:50 +0000 annagybe 493712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool. I really wish fashion would get over its use of cigarettes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-shape#post-493706 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 04:16:31 +0000 lyn* 493706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love this look - esp with the skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-shape#post-493692 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:54:31 +0000 Jenava 493692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shape of this outfit is weird, but I find it very interesting. I wonder how I can incorporate interesting shapes and proportions into my outfits. I particularly like the flared hem with the flat tasseled oxfords.</p> <p>Pic copied from:<br /> <a href="http://fashiongonerogue.com/marloes-horst-patrik-sehlstedt-intermission-fw-2011/" rel="nofollow">http://fashiongonerogue.com/ma.....n-fw-2011/</a> </p>
