I just wanted to add that Limited seems to have a lot of earth tone things this season, so if you're not completely sold on anything, return or exchange for something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299890 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 09:38:02 +0000 Ljubica 299890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The same thing again - smaller things, and return the dress. It's somehow swallowing your pretty frame.<br /> I like best how the tank shows off your beautiful curves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299842 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 06:08:38 +0000 fathenry 299842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these pieces look amazing on you! I agree with what everyone else has said. You should def keep the pencil skirt in the smaller size and tank. Either tank looks okay to me. Pass on the shirt dress, it just looks too big and the other pieces are cuter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299834 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 05:28:31 +0000 Deb 299834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The smaller sizes in all items look better, to my eye, with the exception of the tank top - that definitely needs to go up a size or two. </p> <p>Beautiful colors - I love the combinations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299828 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 04:48:20 +0000 Kate 299828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all of the advice! I am definitely keeping the size 0 skirt. I'm definitely not keeping the shirtdress. I'm going to see how the size M top fits and then make a decision.</p> <p>I'm still rather conflicted about the cardi. In addition to the size debate, I'm still not sold on the ruched sleeves. I usually push back my sleeves anyway, but I push them back to a bit higher than where these end. I'll probably return both and see if I'm still thinking about the cardi in a week or two... the color is so amazing, but right now I'm just not in love with the sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299804 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 03:47:53 +0000 Sveta 299804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate, you really look good in these colors!<br /> I really like the skirt and looks like XS fits well. It is a good idea to try the top in a bigger size so it does not cling that much.<br /> I am not a fan of this dress in either size. I think I don't like that collar and shoulder line on you - they seem to swallow your neck. When I flipped from the dress picture to the skirt/tank that was like a completely different person with beautiful shoulders!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299791 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 03:21:44 +0000 Vix 299791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for grabbing your earthy colors first and asking questions later, ha!</p> <p>I vote for smaller cardigan (larger has sloppy fit on shoulder and bunching in upper bust/arm area, and IME these thin knits bag as it is)</p> <p>Top: You can try the M, but what's the material? It may cling anyway. This one looks like it fits well but it *is* clingy by my standards for work...because the detailing is nice, I'd personally wear it under something with a deep V (natural or "artificial" -- unbuttoned cardigan or blouse) as long as the detailing flattened out in the covered up region.</p> <p>Skirt: I vote smaller -- the larger is several inches lower down your hips! IME that wrinkle across the front is due to excess fabric in the hips. You may want to see if nipping it in a little helps.</p> <p>Re the dress -- I'd pass on both sizes.</p> <p>Enjoy what you keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299751 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 02:32:39 +0000 catgirl 299751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you know your colors! Bigger sweater for sure - just looks more comfy. I vote smaller dress, but if it feels too tight, it's not a 10. Love the tank and skirt. I can't see much of a difference between the sizes on the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299745 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 02:26:45 +0000 Lisa 299745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These colors are great on you. The cadigan, I can't tell the difference. The dress, I like the smaller one better. The skirt, I also like the smaller one, in the larger skirt (and dress) you really loose your shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299740 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 02:23:31 +0000 ticksgirl 299740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree these colors are great on you! I don't think the dress does you justice. The skirt (smaller size) is a keeper for sure, and I love the tank and don't think it's at all indecent in this size, but you could probably go up a size and still look good if you'd be more comfortable that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299729 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 02:11:54 +0000 AJ 299729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not really feeling the high waist of the dress on you. I think you can find something better.</p> <p>2nd cardi, first skirt and the tops look the same fit to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299720 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 02:04:10 +0000 Stephanie 299720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The waist of the shirtdress looks too high to me. I think you can do better. I like the skirt in the smaller size; both cardigans look fine to me--I think it's just a matter of what look you prefer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299710 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:54:29 +0000 Angie 299710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Khris said!</p> <p>You look great, Kate!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299707 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:51:20 +0000 Aida 299707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you plan to wear the cardigan open, XS. If you plan to button the S might be better. I don't find the shirtdress very flattering, sorry :\ I like the 0 pencil skirt better, but I think the top could be sized up to M if you want to use it for teaching outfits. Love these colors on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299665 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:25:32 +0000 Jonesy 299665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't tell about the cardigan, but I vote return on the dress (shape is weird), keep the smaller skirt, go for the larger tank, especially if you're wanting it as a layer for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299656 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:16:37 +0000 MNsara 299656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They ARE great colors for you!<br /> Sweater, I like the bigger one if you ever plan to button it closed. I see the bunching rae mentioned, but it doens't bother me (remember I'm a lot older though. . .!)</p> <p>The shirtdress looks okay in XS. Does it feel tight on bust? Could it shrink when washed? Don't know if it is a 10 though. . . I'm on the fence here. . .</p> <p>Smaller skirt for sure. If you are wearing that tank top by itself to teach in (no over layer), then try a size up. I can see why BF likes it, but so will a lot of other guys in the classroom. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299652 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:10:29 +0000 CocoLion 299652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My votes:</p> <p>-Scrunch sleeve sweater is better in XS (better fit in shoulders).<br /> -I'd return both dresses. I just feel they hide your gorgeous figure too much.<br /> -The skirt pulls a touch less in the size 2, so that one gets my vote.<br /> - The tank (in S) shown with the skirts is beautiful on you!</p> <p> Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299642 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:03:18 +0000 lyn* 299642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote cardi #1, dress #3 and skirt in #5/6 - the only one I'm not too sure about is 1 or 2: are you planning to wear it open? </p> <p>I like the pencil skirt the most of all of the items </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299628 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 00:47:22 +0000 rae 299628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The smaller sizes look better to me across the board. Especially the cardi, which has way too much bunching going on under the arms, IMO. </p> <p>Glad you found some great colors for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299620 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 00:39:34 +0000 Queen Mum 299620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I"m not seeing the difference in sizing in most either.<br /> I don't care for the shirt dress.. I'd return both of them.<br /> The size 0 skirt fits much better than the 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299615 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 00:37:19 +0000 chewyspaghetti 299615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These really are great colors for you, Kate- Love!<br /> I like the bigger sweater, smaller dress and skirt.<br /> Great haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299614 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 00:36:07 +0000 Carole 299614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't really tell a difference between sizes in #1 and 2 or #5 and 7 and but #4 looks too big. Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones#post-299603 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 00:28:09 +0000 Kate 299603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's here! </p> <p>1 - scrunch sleeve cardi in XS<br /> 2 - scrunch sleeve cardi in S<br /> 3 - shirt dress in XS<br /> 4 - shirt dress in S<br /> 5+6 - pencil skirt in 0, top in S<br /> 7+8 - pencil skirt in 2, top in S</p> <p>All feedback is welcome! Thanks!</p> <p>ETA: Here's where I'm at:<br /> 1+2 - I'm still not sure about the cardis.<br /> 3+4 - Neither are perfect, both will be returned.<br /> 5-8 - I'll be keeping the smaller skirt, and trying the top in a M to see if it's not as clingy.</p> <p>Finally, please excuse the messy background. BF was busy, so I had to come to where he was to get the pictures taken. </p>
