KEEP! </p> <p>What an amazing accomplishment for your brother, you must be so proud! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-724047 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 02:38:44 +0000 Jaime 724047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree both that the tops are flattering and keepers and your brother is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723979 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 01:04:11 +0000 Anonymous 723979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You brother is almost as amazing as you Denise! How do you feel about that? :)</p> <p>I don't find this silhouette unflattering on you at all. MsEccentric has a video of herself on her site moving around in a waist-surrendering top to show how it really isn't waist surrendering in motion. Everyone can see how slender you really are when you walk. Still pictures can be deceiving. Rock on! I love the tribal pattern on your jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723971 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 00:56:36 +0000 MsLuna 723971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is most flattering with skinnies and leggings. So 3, 4, and 5 have my vote! You look great!</p> <p>PS. This is a silhouette I commonly wear as well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723931 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 00:14:16 +0000 JR 723931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow. Kudos to your brother, big time!</p> <p>And kudos to you too. I wondered at first about #3, but when I saw #4 and 5, I realized it was just a question of the angle. They are great tops. And I love the jeans with the geometric design! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723891 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 23:43:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 723891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tops in 3, 4 and 5 - not crazy about the white. You look gorgeous in this silhouette. And WOW - kudos to your brother! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723884 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 23:37:39 +0000 Caro in Oz 723884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all of these on you. The only suggestion I would make is to try the first top with longer pants/jeans, the proportion may be the thing that's throwing you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723850 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 23:06:29 +0000 kellygirl 723850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE these and I hope you wear them. They are swingy and cool and you look so uber stylish in them. The hemlines are fun and sassy. You always look so good, Denise!</p> <p>And wow! wow! wow! Congrats to your brother. (I finally read Into Thin Air last year.) Did I say, wow?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723835 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 22:49:25 +0000 Isabel 723835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Denise !! That IS so exciting on so many levels regarding your brother !!! Thanks for the link.</p> <p>I remember hearing about someone finding Mallory's body, but I never made the connection. I feel like AG in some ways...I feel "cool" just because I "know you" and you are related to him. No offense, you impress me too .....but can you dress without supplemental oxygen ? LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723833 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 22:45:01 +0000 JulieJohn 723833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like a rock model in these tops. Stunning! I wonder if a curvy gal can wear them? I might have to try, just because I think they look so pretty on you! And those Aztec jeans are so beautiful and different. I see no shelf, are you talking about a uniboob? If so, none is in evidence. The girls look good.</p> <p>Your brother is awesome. Mallory, wow, I remember that too, that is so impressive. Your bro must be really tough, and he looks like a nice man! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723828 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 22:33:10 +0000 Sona 723828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fab silhouette. emphasizes all the slender parts. ( makes you look extra tall and lean!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723778 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:41:13 +0000 morethanbeige 723778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coco, I really like these tops on you, especially the 2 new ones. You look long and lean. You can totally wear this silhouette.</p> <p>Congrats to your brother! So cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723777 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:40:54 +0000 Gaylene 723777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, your brother is Conrad Anker--the climber who found Mallory's body!! And he just climbed Everest sans oxygen! That is amazing. </p> <p>Now that I've settled down a bit so I can think about fashion, I do like all of these tops on you. As Suz mentioned, I always think that this kind of volume looks so much better in motion than in a still photograph. Wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723769 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:29:52 +0000 Debbie 723769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congradulations to your brother.<br /> Love these tops on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723752 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:10:59 +0000 Claudia 723752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I have heard of your brother and definitely recognized the name right away: Outside Magazine, and Jon Krakauer's works. Very impressive!</p> <p>I love this silouette on you and think it is very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723751 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:09:07 +0000 Scarlet 723751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear those tops if I were you. Love the aztec-inspired jeans by the way. (I don't know actually how it would be appropriate to refer to the style.) Wow, you make a good looking family together! Congratulations to your brother! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723744 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:02:06 +0000 pil 723744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see how you could be mistaken for anything other than slender in these and the blue is particularly flattering on you. How cool for your brother - very impressive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723742 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:00:04 +0000 ElleH 723742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats to your brother!!!

You are slender and the tops don't disguise that. I bet the flowiness looks awesome IRL.</p> <p>And had no idea about your brother -- so cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723736 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:56:18 +0000 rachylou 723736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!

So cool and inspiring - I lespecially love that he found Mallory's body. To think I remember when that happened, and now I know YOU! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723714 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:44:24 +0000 sarah 723714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this look is very cool and very you! My faves are the new grey and navy tops.</p> <p>And how cool about your brother : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723712 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:43:17 +0000 Angie 723712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable in these tops, Denise. Cool and funky. Perfect for very hot weather. </p> <p>And a huge congrats to your incredible brother!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723709 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:42:07 +0000 catgirl 723709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you. I prefer the choppier hems of the second and third tops - to me the white looks a bit girlish and not as rock-and-roll. But yes, you can wear this, and no, no shelf in sight. I know what you mean about shelf, though - it happens to me in workout gear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723706 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:40:09 +0000 Suz 723706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Denise - that is amazing about your brother! Very cool. </p> <p>As for the tops, I think this works. It is very evident that you are slender underneath them. The only angle from which "shelf' might be the least issue is the side, but I think a photo is sort of unrepresentative. That is not how the tops look when you are in motion. They would be very fluid, too. So that seems key. The fluidity. I love the colours on the second two! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723704 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:39:09 +0000 Anonymous 723704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, I really like this silhouette on you! I think both new tops are keepers.</p> <p>And how cool about your brother, yay! I see a family resemblance for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723698 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:34:51 +0000 CocoLion 723698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! Isabel, my brother ascended Everest in late May without any supplemental oxygen! Most recently, he was voted #7 among the top 50 athletes in action by Esquire magazine on line. (I love how they have a negative score for DUIs!) He comes right after Tiger Woods -- it's so cool they put a climber (and not exactly a household name) in the top 10. Plus he is almost 50.</p> <p><a href="http://www.esquire.com/the-side/best-month-ever/best-athletes-2012#slide-8" rel="nofollow">http://www.esquire.com/the-sid.....12#slide-8</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723681 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:25:13 +0000 Ingunn 723681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no shelf at all! You look stunning in this silhouette with the skinnies. I vote keep both if you love them. They are both very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723677 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:21:04 +0000 Isabel 723677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG ! I actually love it in 3, 4, 5 !!!!! I almost love it in 1, it just seems a bit shiny around your bust and that is what seems to be accentuating it. Not the silhouette, IMO.</p> <p>( BTW...what is going on with your brother and the Everest ascent ?...I lost the web address that you had posted a while ago ... ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-silhouette-unflattering-on-me#post-723666 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:12:22 +0000 CocoLion 723666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe so, is what I am thinking. My bust is creating a shelf and might be making me look bigger than I am, is what I fear.</p> <p>The reason I have been drawn to this style: loose, good for heat; and, no oversized armholes, so my bra is covered.</p> <p>1-2 -- top I already own.<br /> 3 -- grey Splendid swing top from Shopbop sale (returnable)<br /> 4-5 -- navy Splendid swing top from Shopbop sale (returnable)</p> <p>Which one(s) are keepers? (If any)</p> <p>Thanks for helping! </p>
