The white top looks beautiful on you. I can understand feeling that white can be less flattering even when it is. I now wear lots of white, but previously when black was my main neutral, white looked quite extreme after wearing black so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2114052 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:35:10 +0000 Suz 2114052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The white top with the skirt is great.&nbsp;</p> <p>White tends to look better when you have grey/ white hair. Or at least that is my experience. I never wore it much before, but now I love to wear it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2114051 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:33:01 +0000 Suz 2114051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. That red cardi is amazing on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I also love the white top with the twist.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now I will go back to the rest. A 2 piece dress is a great thing but a skirt is also good! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2114048 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:27:51 +0000 Sal 2114048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white tops best and the last one.&nbsp; I do agree 4 and 5 are a bit prim on you.</p> <p>I think you can wear different proportions well as your shape is really balanced.&nbsp; I think 2 and 3 would benefit from a scarf to draw the eye up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2114043 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:04:46 +0000 MsMaven 2114043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny thing is that I've been avoiding white tops for ages! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2114041 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:00:51 +0000 Dauncen 2114041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all good outfits but the white tops (1 and 6) are especially flattering with you coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2114024 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 23:05:44 +0000 Angie 2114024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the skirt styled with the white top too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2114020 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 23:01:03 +0000 MsMaven 2114020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your input. This helps me a lot. When it comes to long over long, I'm not sure what is best. I agree that brown isn't my best, and doesn't work with the dark teal of the skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Toronto Girl</b>: I always used to tuck in blouses and sweaters even--but that was when I still had that skinny, skinny midsection. It doesn't work with apple belly, although I had a sales woman insist I should wear a wide belt with a tucked in top. The belts and even the skirts slide up.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now the waist is gone down, I'll try it again.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Slim ca</b>t and <b></b><b>Cindy</b><b></b>: I bought the white top at Last Call last summer to work with the snakeskin skirt from BR.It didn't work quite right (forget the dark bra) and was a bit tight. 12 lbs slimmer and it is so much better. I need to try it with the skirt again.</p> <p><b>Joy</b>--yes definitely. I will cuff those ER pants. I think that will make all the difference to them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's the white top a year ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113997 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 21:48:21 +0000 Barbara Diane 2113997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 1, 2 and 6. But I'm fairly traditional when it comes to proportions.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113990 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 21:23:17 +0000 The Cat 2113990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The proportions in #9 look especially great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113986 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 21:07:02 +0000 Anonymous 2113986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite with the cinnamon shoes. Not a big fan of brown on you although the length and fit of the top look fine to me. I like the outfit in #7 on you teal with a lighter top under the jacket.<br /> The EF travel pants easily can be cuffed to make cropped pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113958 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 19:20:48 +0000 Angie 2113958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EVERYTHING works really well! I think you nailed the items, combinations and proportions,<b> MsMaven.<br /></b><br /><b></b>The rust&nbsp;pants&nbsp;with the white top and rust sandals are soooo fresh and on trend :)</p> <p>You have absolutely got Relaxed Elegance down.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113864 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 10:35:15 +0000 cindysmith 2113864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While they are all pretty, the white top in 6 just floored me. It is so simple, yet so elevated. I love it on you. I also love the rich color palette of 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113821 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 02:38:02 +0000 Jaime 2113821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 1,2, and 6.

All in all - lovely outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113791 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 23:51:41 +0000 Anonymous 2113791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one is the very flattering I think, the fit and length of the pants with the length of the top, and the little bit of ankle and forearm is really pretty. I think the below the bust horizontal line of the embroidered front piece makes your legs look longer too.</p> <p>I think you look great in color or at least with some lighter softness so 2-5 seem a little severe, but I like the jacket and top together in 4, maybe with jeans? The top in 5 seems a little long and is my least favorite</p> <p>I like 7 but I feel like it needs something to pull the eye back up, 8 is a little dull and with 9 we are back to really excellent, love everything.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113778 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 23:26:40 +0000 Helena 2113778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, see this is my problem - I can't judge the proportions in anything approximately a mathematical way. This is just not how my brain functions!</p> <p>That said - I love all these! I do think though that you are also a person that could tuck a shirt without looking like the waist is under your arms (which is what I can look like at times). For example, in #8, I do think tucked would work too.</p> <p>I LOVE your red cardigan - it looks so lush! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113777 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 23:26:12 +0000 kellygirl 2113777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really have a good sense of proportion because all of these look fab. Super flattering and pretty! My fave is 1 with the cinnamon sandals probably because it looks so spring-y and fresh to me. Column of color and high contrast work equally well on you too. You have your style down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113774 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 23:20:36 +0000 rachylou 2113774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-aint-me-babe-experiments#post-2113771 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 23:11:31 +0000 MsMaven 2113771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And it's the end of week--whatever. Today I'm doing some experimenting, some working with that golden ratio brought up by Toronto Girl. </p> <p>I bought a few new things in February and early March—sales were already getting going. Items for spring not worn yet.</p> <p>1)New Chico’s pants, orange—I guess this is orange. I don’t like to wear orange, so I’m going to call them light cinnamon? Look up color. Worn with new Boden top you’ve seen before. And those orange/coral sandals? I bought them a couple of years ago to wear with a Boden dress. They are uncomfortable. I haven’t worn them much, but now I’m experimenting with more pads. Kenneth Cole Gentle Souls.&nbsp;</p> <p>2-3 &nbsp;Next I move to a skirt I bought. I was going to buy the matching top but I didn’t like the styles. Suz's 2-piece dress. I thought I'd get one in spring. But right now there isn’t anything at BR I can find. Skirt is polyester knit. Check The color is –a muted teal. Experimenting with ah—s golden mean. I have a lot of longer &nbsp; &nbsp; tops. I have 3 other skirts, all with patterns, so I wanted plain, but not black or gray.</p> <p>4-5) With NAS 19 jacket—too prim. With a longer skirt I need a shorter top or jacket. Too dull. With black BR sweater. With N&amp;Z cardibought 4 years ago.</p> <p>6-7)&nbsp;White top bought last year for printed skirt, didn’t wear much. Better proportion. Alone and&nbsp;with teal N&amp;Z cardi. Bought last year sale, not yet worn. End of summer. This goes better. Also my more casual jewelry goes.</p> <p>8)&nbsp;With brown top&nbsp;inexpensive&nbsp;henley top from Macy’s to see if I should really shun brown. Too long, better to try with another color.</p> <p>EF crepe travel pants. Some bloggers love these--une femme for example. I can't see that they are worth the price. But I'll give them a chance.&nbsp;</p> <p>9)&nbsp;What I ended up wearing until I go out to garden: brown top with jeans, red cashmere cardi.</p> <p>Hope I got the photos right. Any comments, especially re proportion. I realize in the mirror doesn't show exact relative distances.</p>
