Besides the straps issue, to which Bijou offers a simple and quick solution, there's also the shape of the top. I don't know what shape I'd like, but this isn't it. It is light and fun and feels summery, but it completely hides what curves I have. Surrendering the waist just isn't my thing; I'd much rather find something that suggests "more" waist (ie a bigger dip/smaller waist). <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But the pants.&nbsp; What to do about the pants? I put them on first and loved them. I will be reluctant to return them. But what to wear them with? The point wasn't to get an item I can match with other separates--that's what the second hand shop is for. (<i>Will this general sort of pants be in the second hand shop? It seems to me they've been around at least a year or two). </i>The point was to get a jumpsuit, or a "2 piece jumpsuit" for high summer temps. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm still thinking about this.&nbsp; <br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039870 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 15:18:16 +0000 Angie 2039870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the vibe a lot. Good fit too. But vote return because you don't love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039854 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 14:11:13 +0000 texstyle 2039854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants have potential but I'm pretty picky about my stripes so I'd probably go for something less bold (fewer colors) in a striped pant. Madewell and jcrew (I think) both have some striped pants right now. I bought shorts because of my usual 100 degree summer weather but I thought some of the striped pants were tempting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039847 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 13:34:16 +0000 Bijou 2039847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, but if you don't love it then it is a no... </p> <p>Only buy what you love or you will walk into a store and see the perfect item and then feel regret that you settled. This happens to me way too often and now I am getting very strict with myself in this regard.</p> <p>This is a great style for you, the pants look lovely and as this is practical for summer. I find strapless bras very comfortable, so I would wear this top and possibly alter the straps so that they are not tied but sewn to the correct length - an easy alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039835 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 12:32:59 +0000 Carla 2039835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bottoms* - keep<br /> Top - return</p> <p>I appreciate the effort to have the stripes placement be symmetrical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039826 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 11:02:24 +0000 kkards 2039826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like it alot...but i'm not a fan of visable bra straps (i know, i know showing my age....) anyway, if you can/will wear it with a strapless bra, i'd say give it a go....otherwise, i'd personally pass.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039804 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 04:36:36 +0000 Gigi 2039804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first reaction is that I really like it on you. But I do think that this type of top looks best with a strapless bra. Otherwise there gets to be a lot of stuff going on, ruining the clean lines.</p> <p>I do like the colors and the design. But if you don't love it, I would advise to return. Even though you don't know why you don't love it, it's good to trust your feelings on this. I know that you have a limited budget, and you need to be sure that you spend it on things that really make your heart sing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039801 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 04:25:17 +0000 Jessikams 2039801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m concerned about the straps too—- seems intended for a strapless bra, but who wants to bother with that?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039765 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 00:19:41 +0000 Jaime 2039765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how the pants look but agree with the above - don't keep if they are merely meh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039752 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 23:27:45 +0000 Cee 2039752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it'd be a great layering piece when it starts to cool down </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039748 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 22:56:22 +0000 Jenn 2039748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're super-cute, but if you don't love it, then pass. The last thing you want when it's hot and sticky outside is to feel "meh" in what you're wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039743 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 22:44:26 +0000 Anonymous 2039743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Next year is too far away for me especially risking over-saturation. I often find that no matter how practical and interesting I think something is, I can be surprised by how popular it is, to the point that I'm really over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039742 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 22:28:19 +0000 Janet 2039742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Rachy — the top is too junior looking for my preference. The pants are better but you need to love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039732 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 20:46:15 +0000 rachylou 2039732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I confess I don’t like the little bows at the shoulders... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039727 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 20:19:16 +0000 JAileen 2039727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the pants but return the top. The top doesn’t work with bra straps, but the pants are great - so many different colors of tops would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039724 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 20:06:42 +0000 Anonymous 2039724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you. &nbsp;What are your plans about bra straps? &nbsp;I ask because this is always a major problem for me and I don't want to endorse something until I know you have thought it all the way through. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039710 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 19:21:26 +0000 anchie 2039710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you said it yourself- you don’t love it. Don’t settle, there are so many jumpsuits around, there must be some that you will love. But it is a great alternative to shorts. so I would keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039702 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 18:57:30 +0000 SarahD8 2039702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, my first response was yay, but now that I hear you say that you like but don’t love it I lean nay. In my experience “like but don’t love” items can be real pests, bring little joy but are difficult to eradicate from our closets...</p> <p>Maybe a styling session is in order? Can you make outfits that you are excited to wear? Sounds like you’re feeling that your old summer clothes don’t fit your current environmental norm — so, how urgent is your need to remedy that?</p> <p>I’m sort of in the opposite position today, wearing an item that annoys me in theory (its polyester, and not very versatile) but I feel great in the outfit that features it, so...I guess it can stick around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039694 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 18:31:45 +0000 nemosmom 2039694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it works for your lifestyle and weather, I say keep! It's definitely a colorful and interesting alternative to shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039690 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 18:21:20 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2039690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Firecracker! </p> <p>Aw, Suntiger, your “two piece jumpsuit” idea is what I thought of when I saw this outfit. I see what you mean about the stripes, especially since they repeated the black &amp; white ones in front. I think that “craziness” is part of what I like about it. But I don’t love it, for reasons I don’t know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039676 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 17:16:32 +0000 Anonymous 2039676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would work more as seperates for the silly picky reason that the stripes don't line up-which may not bug you at all! If you love it-keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039675 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 17:12:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2039675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay--keep. I agree, it's a great alternative to shorts for hot weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039668 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 16:38:30 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2039668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. You can tell in the second that I’d just been sitting down. </p> <p>Do not try to judge my feelings based on facial expression—my son makes me smile; I took these with the timer. </p> <p>Also, how had I never noticed the vent below the fridge?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeper-1#post-2039666 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 16:35:52 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2039666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I’m supposed to be shopping second-hand, and no, this outfit isn’t. It came up in a search for wide-legged jumpsuits, which I allowed myself because I think they’re too current to be in second hand shops. Also, I was hoping to wear it during the heatwave instead of my Florida shorts, which are short. The cotton/linen fabric is wonderfully cool, but Zalando had “issues” at the warehouse &amp; it got here too late for this one. I could wear it in the next one, or match the pieces separately with white, black, and blue items. </p> <p>Anyway, what do you think? Vote yes to keep, no to return. </p>
