Good to see you!</p> <p>The original version of the outfit was good, but the shortening made it look much better. Very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-261231 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 14:29:18 +0000 RoseandJoan 261231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back Anne, I love the proportions in the second photo.</p> <p>I hope life is treating you well and you are enjoying your renewed computer time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-261217 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 12:57:40 +0000 anne 261217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your comments Lemonade and and KP. For some reason I have a prejudice against pointy toes - maybe I should try and get past it! </p> <p> Also I can't see to wear skinny belts, only wide-ish ones. Does anyone else have this issue? To put it frankly, a wide belt covers the whole gap between ribs and hipbones while a skinny belt seems to squish and bulge in my midsection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-261192 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 07:56:36 +0000 Katiepea 261192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo-hoo! Verrrrrrrrrrry nice Anne. You look like a real Yummy Mummy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-261185 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 07:23:15 +0000 lemonade 261185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the proportions and think that the outfit is flattering - there is a vaguely vintage feel to this outfit with the length and fullness of the skirt. Perhaps that's why I am feeling like it would look fab with a pair of pointy-toed kitten heels (caramel/nude?) and a skinny-ish patent leather black belt around your waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-260836 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 16:20:27 +0000 anne 260836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks AJ and Angie! AJ - yes I know, the shoes are great. I can't stand very long in them though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-260830 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 16:10:40 +0000 Angie 260830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The lasy photo looks super, Anne.

This outfit looks gorgeous - love the tweaks! Love that top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-260724 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 07:56:48 +0000 Sally 260724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirt and top look great. A nice summer look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-260718 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 05:58:34 +0000 anne 260718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the welcome back Katiepea, and compliments on the outfit</p> <p>I have attached a photo with the top scrunched up, skirt shortened a little (by dint of taking the waist up to my natural waist) and higher heels</p> <p>Angie, I can't tuck the top in. I forgot before that there is a stain on the yoke of the skirt that needs to be covered. I didn't try belted looks for the same reason </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-259463 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 12:36:15 +0000 Katiepea 259463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello lovely Anne! I've missed you! I hope that you are well and happy.</p> <p>I think that is a really nice outfit! Perfect for your special dates with your husband. I think it would take it to the next level to see it with the skirt a tad shorter and with a more delicate shoe if you have a pair? The top sure is pretty!</p> <p>Anyway, take care.<br /> x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-259430 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 08:16:57 +0000 anne 259430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello everyone that thanks so much for the welcome back. I finally have a computer at home again full time!<br /> It seem that my suspicions were broadly correct.</p> <p>I can easily scrunch the top up a little. Angie the top wouldn't tuck in easily at the moment (the skirt isn't at my natural waist) but I could possibly change it by taking in the waistline which should change the length too.<br /> Will get back to you all with some belt and shoe alternative pics</p> <p>Becky thanks for the compliments on the top. I love it too. My sister picked it up in a garage sale and passed it on to me! It is Kookai, and I presuming must hail from the US as is is a size 2 (for those who don't know me, I am from Australia and sizes here start at 6 or more usually 8)</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-259105 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 22:50:18 +0000 lynn 259105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the top looks fine but I would shorten the skirt. You could do a cute red shoe--the shoes might be what is bothering you. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-259102 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 22:44:46 +0000 cciele 259102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One piece needs to be shorter -- either the top or the skirt But proportions aside, that's a really cute outfit on you Anne! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258996 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 19:07:45 +0000 catgirl 258996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All my skirts seem to be this length, and pre-YLF I would have said it's fine. Now I'm thinking it needs shortening or heels as everyone has said. I am in the same boat with all my "flattering" skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258984 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 18:55:31 +0000 Louise 258984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye the top is too long x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258979 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 18:46:31 +0000 Lisa 258979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with the rest, shorter for flats (to the knee) or add a heel with the current length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258919 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 17:20:38 +0000 Angie 258919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to have you back, Anne :)</p> <p>Can you tuck in the top? I like that length of skirt with heels, but I'd shorten if you prefer flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258899 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 16:57:27 +0000 rute 258899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is so lovely! For me it's a lovely look but the shoes need to be changed! A longer skirt asks for higher shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258889 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 16:33:36 +0000 Jonesy 258889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the majority: shortening the skirt and scrunching up your top a bit would improve the proportions a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258816 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 14:36:01 +0000 Barbara 258816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>anne, I agree with shortening the skirt to just above the knee. Becky has the right idea about scrunching up the ruched top to make it just bit shorter. I would add some color by wearing red, teal or plum shoes/sandals since the top and skirt are neutrals. That would punch your style quotient up a notch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258813 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 14:25:22 +0000 Liz 258813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length of the top and skirt are great--they are proportional to each other, and they are very pretty. I would change the shoes, though. I like them, but they seem too casual for such a pretty outfit. Something a bit more delicate would look terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258812 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 14:23:42 +0000 Becky 258812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Anne! I love that top and wish I had one too! I think ruching the top a bit to make it shorter will keep it from interfering with the silhouette of the skirt. You could also take an inch or two off the skirt if you wanted to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258810 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 14:06:25 +0000 Anonymous 258810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like this outfit just the way it is ! the skirt has the right length to cover your thighs even when you sit and move. the top stays in it's place when you bend over, so it's length is good too. i like those pretty mules, they have an comfortable heel ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258809 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 14:05:44 +0000 Tricia 258809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think it's very flattering, but agree with the others that it would be even more so if the skirt were just above the knee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258806 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 13:47:43 +0000 Debora 258806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, it's great to see you posting photos again! How nice to have a lunch out with your sweetie. I think the skirt could be shortened a few inches to right above your knees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-a-flattering-look#post-258805 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 13:44:28 +0000 Ljubica 258805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it could be improved easily.<br /> You have long waist and comparatively shorter legs, so shortening both your top and skirt might do the trick of making the first look shorter and the second longer. Try to belt the top with a wide, for example patent, belt and add some heels - and voila! you're ready to go. </p>
