If only during the full moon :)<br /> Do they make puffys with ruffles? If they were on the hem or sleeves it could work... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972639 Thu, 08 Nov 2018 03:09:00 +0000 Jaime 1972639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love volume on volume but don't have the height to get as carried away as I sometimes do anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972559 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 17:48:33 +0000 rachylou 1972559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie! Woe betide! You are unleashing my inner ruffles and puffy sleeves. You said Lagen Look! and New Romantics! That's like Full Moon to a werewolf or something, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972556 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 17:40:03 +0000 Angie 1972556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Rachy,</b>&nbsp;you get it. Masculine button downs are not good for the Soft &amp; Pretty dept.&nbsp; I can see you successfully wear the ruffles and pantaloons ala the Lagen Look. DANDY too. New Romantics of the '80s.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would love to wear a DVF '70s midi wrap dress. But it's a ridiculous look on me - don't have the real estate.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972555 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 17:39:34 +0000 rachylou 1972555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I need to wear more brown. I do. I love brown. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Ginger, that is sooo true for me too about Anthro. Their lookbooks are so enticing, you get to dreaming about your summer vacation in a rented cottage on Corfu or something. After awhile, tho, the frou irks my nerves. Maggie Smith is my spirit animal, not Keeley Hawes in the end... "I have many friends I don't like", lol.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972554 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 17:37:44 +0000 Kate 1972554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chartreuse. I love it, but try hard to resist, since the color does my complexion no favors. When I do wear a sweater or topper that color, I use an accessory—typically a scarf in a flattering to me color or a dramatic necklace—to draw the eye away from all that yellow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972551 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 17:18:58 +0000 Ginger 1972551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drapey, flowy, colorful boho styles. Like every Spring/Summer Anthropologie Lookbook ever. I love the aesthetic, but the lack of structure does not flatter me at all. And to be honest, I don't like the&nbsp;<i>feel&nbsp;</i>of it. It feels messy and at odds with my love of order.&nbsp; That doesn't stop me from enjoying the pictures! And I think the fun I have with my outfits, in whimsical choices and interesting details, helps satisfy that interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972549 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 17:16:50 +0000 rachylou 1972549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yah, ok, I don’t know why I don’t wear long blazers. And I long for a lavender and a ruffled shoulder that aren’t appalling on me. And I must never again buy bright lemon yellow - it agitates me, no matter how pretty.</p> <p>Interesting, Angie, about a masculine button down. You do look super sharp in that, but it doesn’t help in the soft or pretty department.</p> <p>Re bows and puff sleeves, goodness I love them. But it can get to be that I’m a step away from ruffle underpants and singing the Good Ship Lollipop. I’m old and want people to call me Ma’am! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972530 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 16:29:25 +0000 Angie 1972530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Rachy, </b>I like you in puff sleeves and bows. Folksy Waif.&nbsp;<br /><b></b><br /><b>Torontogirl</b>, TRUE THAT.&nbsp;</p> <p>I look good in just about any masculine button down shirt - have the slam dunk boyish body type for it. BUT AM SO NOT FEELING THAT LOOK ANYMORE. (I did 5 years ago when my style was more Tomboy). I also wear black well, but it does NOT make me happy when worn in large doses and frequently. Have replaced a lot of black with dark blue, which makes me happy.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972507 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 15:16:08 +0000 Cardiff girl 1972507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I m like Gryffin,should wear fitted but can’t resist a bit of oversized every now and again.l hope it looks slouchy and cool rather than swamping but probably not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972506 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 15:13:12 +0000 nemosmom 1972506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, it’s cold shoulder tops, ruffle sleeves (reminds me of the Seinfeld “puffy shirt” episode) and embroidered denim. They look fine on me, but I really dislike them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972496 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 14:34:26 +0000 Sara L. 1972496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wrap style dresses and tops.&nbsp; I love the way they look but they don't love me back.&nbsp; I </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972491 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 14:18:12 +0000 Anonymous 1972491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to wear a lot of black, which isnt bad on me, especially in summer when im showing more skin, but warm colors are overall better.<br /> There are probably a lot of colors in my palette that i havent tried due to lack of retail availability (or retail availability in sufficiently dressy items). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972489 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 14:09:17 +0000 Anonymous 1972489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, ruffles and wide sleeves and low backs on tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972488 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 14:07:44 +0000 gryffin 1972488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a slim rectangle, I look good in tailored or fitted outfits.&nbsp; But I love oversized looks.&nbsp; Jackets, long tunic sweaters - very minimalist Olsen twin waif stuff or early Emerson Fry.&nbsp; So when I wear a sheath or form fitting apparel I often get surprised compliments on my figure or legs.&nbsp; I wear what I enjoy&nbsp; <a href="https://www.whowhatwear.com/how-to-style-a-minimalist-look-for-fall" rel="nofollow">https://www.whowhatwear.com/ho.....k-for-fall</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972486 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 13:33:04 +0000 Bijou 1972486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think grey or beige are particularly good colours on me, but I do like to have them in my wardrobe, to work with other colours. Grey and purple / lilac is a combination that I currently love and I really like beige with turquoise and a rich tan leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972483 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 13:24:12 +0000 LaPed 1972483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm moving away from v-necks. They are easy for me to wear but I'm liking the vibe of crewnecks and turtlenecks better these days.&nbsp;</p> <p>I thought I was over browns for the longest time in favour of black and hadn't looked at them for years until this fall season. I still like black, but I'm wondering what made me think I shouldn't have some browns too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972479 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 12:50:16 +0000 cindysmith 1972479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love yellow. It doesn't love my complexion. I also like skinny pants with a longer, slightly looser top; but a wide leg bottom + fitted top is probably more figure flattering for me right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-occurs-to-me#post-1972467 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 12:01:49 +0000 Helena 1972467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the 'you' they work on isn't the real 'You', then they don't truly work for you ...
