You are gorgeous and I'm glad you're realizing that. I have nothing new to add regarding your hair and outfit other than what's already been said but just wanted to add my support in favor of you continuing to invest in yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15171 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 05:03:42 +0000 Anonymous 15171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura you're so beautiful and I'm glad you will not be destroying your self image anymore. This forum and blog are a great help to us who tend to do that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15166 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:39:12 +0000 Angie 15166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Music to my ears Laura!</p> <p>Duplicate those jeans - they look fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15162 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:28:58 +0000 Anonymous 15162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie and Ola! The jeans are J.Crew - bootcut, actually! They are fairly slim in the calf area and then have a mini-boot cut just below, but if they read as skinnies, so be it! I read the 're-thinking the skinny' post too, so I'm not as timid feeling about that style. </p> <p>Angie, the posts about lengths of tops immensely helped my understanding of why top length is important. I'm also starting to see (like Julie pointed out) how that can change a silhouette! It's amazing how a bit of information can change your perception about your body! I think my inclination before I became interesting in putting more care in my image was to wear baggy tee shirts (since my top was too small, or "disproportionate," someone said to me, for my bottom) and tight jeans (because I did NOT want to wear a bigger size!). I didn't want to be noticed because if I didn't like myself, why should anyone take interest in looking? Boy, have I come a long way!</p> <p>Well, there's my bit of a release! Ha! My name is Laura and I'm a recovering self-image destroyer! (Hi Laura.) I'm thankful for the wealth of support and information here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15137 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:37:37 +0000 Ola 15137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great - I love your hair this way! I'm glad I looked at this thread earlier now cause I got to see your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15083 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 22:00:31 +0000 Angie 15083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay LE! You rock a pair of skinny jeans with the best of them. A VERY pretty pear indeed. Your legs go on forever! What brand of jeans are you wearing? </p> <p>The ladies offer superb suggestions. Your top needs to be much longer – you’re wearing “a skirt top”.

You should work it more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15062 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:28:01 +0000 Dani 15062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks very nice. I don't have any more to add since all the other ladies have covered the top length. On the plus side, you could probably wear this top with a skirt as it is a great length for skirts! You would look great in an A-line denim skirt with the same top!</p> <p>The jeans look very nice on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15059 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:14:46 +0000 Anonymous 15059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! Your advice is great! I finally got the black boxes over my face on my Flickr account, so lucky for you if you saw my face! :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27747517@N03/2671537325/in/set-72157606165410353/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....165410353/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27747517@N03/2671529583/in/set-72157606165410353/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....165410353/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15048 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:27:48 +0000 Antje 15048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, LauraElizabeth! Those jeans look fantastic on you. You have a great figure for them. I still agree with others, though, that the top would be more stylish if it was longer. It's not that you need to "hide" anything, but it would be a more updated and stylish look if the shirt peeked out more from under the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15047 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:24:24 +0000 Becky 15047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, LauraElizabeth! This outfit is much more flattering. The girls are right. Angie says tops with pants/jeans should hit 1-3 inches above the crotch point, so this top is a bit short. I love your flippy hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15043 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 18:04:54 +0000 Julie 15043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Patience that you look very put together. I too think the shirt should be a little longer. I try to think of it as cutting my bum in half. I am a pear and have seen a huge difference when my shirts are a little longer. That being said I think you look great. The jeans look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15041 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:58:46 +0000 Patience 15041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very put together in this outfit. But I think the shirt should be a bit longer, at least 2-3 inches. The jeans look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15040 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:55:55 +0000 Anonymous 15040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. I said to myself, "Oh my!" When I saw your picture. Way, way, way better balance to this outfit. You look great!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lauraelizabeth-71508#post-15036 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:15:10 +0000 Anonymous 15036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm back for more today! Here is what I'm wearing to work. I am paying attention to the length of my tops: hitting around the hipbone is best, right? </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27747517@N03/2671888922/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....671888922/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27747517@N03/2671895266/in/set-72157606165410353/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....165410353/</a></p> <p>I do feel a little... exposed... in a shorter top like this, since I usually try to cover my widest area! The jeans are pretty form-fitting, but my husband liked seeing me in something that wasn't baggy, so I have them. I'm also without my glasses and wavy hair today, as I had a little more time this morning! </p>
