I agree with Synne that you could even go a touch shorter if you wanted. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121513 Mon, 18 May 2020 12:39:19 +0000 Preppy Pear 2121513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans are great and yes, yes on the cuffs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121260 Sun, 17 May 2020 15:23:49 +0000 Laura 2121260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice rolled cuff jeans and metallic sneakers combo! Love your glasses, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121255 Sun, 17 May 2020 14:37:51 +0000 anne 2121255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia!<br />Zaeobi - just occurred to me that you are in the same time zone as me! Yay!<br />I'll check out the scarf link. The scarf is a circular style, so not sure if all the options work - I think it mostly just look overwhelming because of the camera angle, as you posited.<br />Yes! re Deep body versus wide - that' s exactly what I meant!!&nbsp; I can also relate to the difficulty of wanting to highlight a waist while hiding a buttom half. (though my other difficulty is that without the hip to compare it too I don't really have a waist as my bust is small (at thinnest, only 6 inches bigger than my waist - any bigger and it can be even less)</p> <p>Thanks Bijou - yes to the changing clothes throughout the day - one advantage of working at home is that I've changed quite large components of my wardrobe at times over the course of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121253 Sun, 17 May 2020 14:33:36 +0000 AndiB 2121253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly I’d cuff ‘em even more, show some ankle! Two more inches? I just love a deep cuff, edgy, trendy, fun. Try it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121214 Sun, 17 May 2020 10:16:25 +0000 Bijou 2121214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, its so lovely to see you post. I like this sweater on you, it is pretty and the jeans look cool with the big cuff. The oversized cardigan looks great on you too. It is big, but that is the style of these waterfall cardigans. On me, I always feel a bit lost in them, so when my last waterfall cardi got holes, I didn't replace it as I prefer a more streamlined silhouette and never really knew what to do with those waterfall layers.<br />That is interesting about the round vs elliptical body shape, which I had never heard of. I am more elliptical and so it was interesting to understand why horizontal stripes are unflattering on me and some of my favourite clothes have vertical details.<br />This weather is just tricky to dress for. I start off with a big sweater or coat in the morning and by noon, I am in short sleeves or a light blouse and then by evening, the layers come back on.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121211 Sun, 17 May 2020 07:46:49 +0000 Zaeobi 2121211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF! I agree that showing off your ankles could make the cuff look more modern but it's nice as it is too. I like the colours of your top &amp; sleeveless cardigan too. </p> <p>In regards to the scarf, have you thought about tying it differently? It's a nice colour &amp; material but I think it may be overwhelming you a little (though that could just be the camera angle). A knotted style could help temper the volume a little, if you're interested: <a href="https://www.instyle.com/how-tos/how-to-tie-scarf-gifs" rel="nofollow">https://www.instyle.com/how-to.....scarf-gifs</a>?</p> <p>I know what you mean about round VS elliptical - I may veer into more of an hourglass shape from the front, but from the side I'm all pear. Makes it difficult to highlight the waist when I also have to consider camouflaging my lower half! PS - More 'deep' (front to back) than 'wide' (side to side) is another way in which I've heard it described. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121190 Sun, 17 May 2020 03:06:07 +0000 Jaime 2121190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cuffed jeans work well!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121184 Sun, 17 May 2020 02:39:35 +0000 anne 2121184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Lisa </b>and <b>Taylor</b><br />Slimcat - we have quite big variations in temperature here so I've been wearing that scarf a lot - it has the great benefit of not needing ironing. But by the warmest part of the day it is time to discard.Which is fine - that's what layers are about.</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - thanks for the feedback. I should have been more explicit with the side view ( I typed in on my phone ) I didn't mean at all that I was fat or not fit. Just that my body goes back a long way! I could lose 10kg and it wouldn't change much as it is just a body frame thing (I did think it was my bottom but it's mostly not). It was actually in response to something <b>LisaP</b> said about looking different from the side - just that I empathise. I start to feel dishonest just posting front pics.</p> <p><b>Synne -&nbsp;</b>thanks so much for the suggestion about cuffing - I was wondering that exact thing as I did it. I'll take your suggestion on board next time. Not sure I'll go with the shoelace knotting ideas because I'm impatient but I appreciate you mentioning it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121064 Sat, 16 May 2020 16:40:56 +0000 Synne 2121064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay to cuffed jeans! I have two minor suggestions, if you don't mind. I'd make the cuff even deeper, and expose slightly more ankle. Very modern, IMO! Another tip I've recently picked up, thats a little detail that makes sneakers more "chic", is to tie a hidden knot. There's supposedly endless variations on how to tie ones shoe laces, according to youtube! I guess I've had too much spare time lately </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121058 Sat, 16 May 2020 16:14:44 +0000 Angie 2121058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big cuffs look great! You look smashing in these pinky colours! And the necklace is quite the fun conversational piece, dear <b>Anne. </b>You wear it well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I see a fab side view of gorgeous you too. Fit, healthy and confident.&nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121057 Sat, 16 May 2020 16:10:19 +0000 slim cat 2121057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice wide cuffs - works well with metallic shoes and long cardi.<br />The scarf is pretty but probably too big for mild weather, love the colors.<br />I like v-neck sweater on you - it's very flattering. Fun necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121030 Sat, 16 May 2020 14:33:28 +0000 taylor 2121030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in those jeans Anne ! I love the metallic sneaks ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121029 Sat, 16 May 2020 14:31:02 +0000 Anonymous 2121029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - that necklace is so cool! It fills the neckline perfectly. &nbsp;And the jeans look great cuffed and worn with the metallic sneakers - very modern! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered-wiw-with-another-attempt-at-cuffs-for-angie#post-2121019 Sat, 16 May 2020 14:01:10 +0000 anne 2121019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I told Angie I would try bigger cuffs next time I wore these jeans so here they are.<br /> Worn to take DD and two friends to buy bubble tea and back to our house for a play. First time she's had friends over for a good while (as Bijou mentioned in her post, restrictions are easing quite a bit for us)<br /> Anyway the big cardi was a hand-me-down I have been wearing quite a lot on cold mornings and haven't shown you guys yet. I lost my long grey cardi so that was timed well! </p> <p>I warmed up in the afternoon and the cardi came off and after we took the first pictures realised the neckline was a bit low for my taste to be unfilled. So tried the scarf in #4 but was too hot. DD approved of the necklace in #5.</p> <p>#2 to show my deep body. I am round not elliptical. Same as connie booth who played Polly in faulty towers! [ETA maybe]</p> <p>Any criticism and comments welcome. </p> <p>ETA Does the cardi overwhelm me? - I suspect it does. Fine for around the house but I'm thinking about not wearing this one out</p> <p>Also, here is a link to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://insideoutstyleblog.com/2009/07/whats-your-side-view-round-or-elliptical.html">imogen's post</a> about round or ellipital. She's mostly talking about tummies and bottom width however I more meant ribcage and pelvis depth.</p> <p></p>
