It works beautifully for all the reasons you stated. You are great at implementing Angie's guidelines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-flattering-enough-or-nowhere-near-it#post-1385297 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 03:35:51 +0000 Michelle 1385297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! That was unexpected, ladies, but most welcome. Thanks so much! I like feeling I have more styling options for those pants than I originally envisioned. And it really is fun to break out Angie's guidelines and see if I can put them into practice effectively without the benefit of visuals. <br />Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-flattering-enough-or-nowhere-near-it#post-1385282 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 03:15:48 +0000 sarah 1385282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I really like that style of pants on you. Makes me want to try them myself! And I think they work great with that top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-flattering-enough-or-nowhere-near-it#post-1385261 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 02:46:21 +0000 Jaime 1385261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flattering no qualification needed. Definitely wear again - you look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-flattering-enough-or-nowhere-near-it#post-1385255 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 02:35:33 +0000 Anonymous 1385255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks more than just flattering enough! Love the top!&nbsp;I think it may also help that the top is the bold printed piece here, so it looks like a slight twist on a classic&nbsp;printed-top-and-black-pants outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-flattering-enough-or-nowhere-near-it#post-1385245 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 02:27:04 +0000 abc 1385245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep! Well done. Enough skin revealed on the top and pants are slim yet baggy so perfect all around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-flattering-enough-or-nowhere-near-it#post-1385239 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 02:19:12 +0000 Suz 1385239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely on you, Michelle. You wear the square neckline brilliantly, and the pants have a nice taper to them.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-flattering-enough-or-nowhere-near-it#post-1385233 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 02:12:04 +0000 Elizabeth P 1385233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot Michelle.

I think this is great on you... And you have given me confidence to play with some styling on some of my fluid pieces that I don't put together.

Plenty of structure in the tapered track pants and overall streamlined effect of the soft blouse with curved hem. Nicely done. Hugs to you and Revie.

The pants are fluid but still slim, you are showing ankle skin for structure, low pumps add structure. The blouse itself is structured at the neckline and falls from the bust in a flattering way. Cute outfit and envying your weather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-flattering-enough-or-nowhere-near-it#post-1385123 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 22:39:33 +0000 Michelle 1385123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to bizarro weather world, i.e. Toronto, where it's warmer on October 28th than it was through parts of July and August. Inspired partially by these abnormal patterns and partially by surpassing exhaustion, I decided to be both comfortable and experimental in today's outfit.<br /> I've always struggled with the concept of "just flattering enough, " but decided to give it a try today. Normally I would never pair these flowy silky track pants with this batwing blouse, but reading Angie's guidelines gave me courage. The pant hems are tapered, the blouse has a low but non-revealing neckline, the sleeve style leaves my entire forearm exposed, and hem of the top is raised at the sides to reveal the contour of my hips. I also tried to help the situation by wearing structured, low heeled pumps with an almond toe. The three bangles on my arm and pearl earrings were just my effort to finish things off.<br /> As I said, I would never normally put these two together, and you may well tell me that I never should again. If so, I'm listening. Maybe conventionally flattering proportions are just enough for me after all? </p>
