I actually generally am not accustomed to the short jacket with longer top underneath look. But I wanted a lighter colored jacket, and this is the only one I had, other than the strong shoulder jacket which didn't work with this for me for some reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168622 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 01:21:13 +0000 yublocka 168622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You pull off this belted look delightfully - enjoy!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168490 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 22:41:56 +0000 Angie 168490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a sweet outfit! </p> <p>I think it would have looked even better if the jacket was longer, thereby showing less of a layering contrast with the top. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168438 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 21:13:21 +0000 Inge 168438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a lovely outfit, and belts really emphasize your fab figure (love the crimson top on you too;-).<br /> I didn't really mind the darker belt with the lighter items, but maybe the other lasses have a point. I love Lisa's flower pin idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168407 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:50:44 +0000 Scarlet 168407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, from the top up you look very sleek and from the bottom down you look very casual. That is jarring to my eye. I advocate trying some black pants. They might even work with those shoes because the shoes match the jacket. Otherwise, the top half looks good, and for other occasions I would pair it with pants and heels, or a pencil skirt would look sharp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168398 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 18:54:47 +0000 Lisa 168398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm hooked on the flower pin/brooch idea at the moment, what about a flower pin/brooch on the jacket to tie in the darker belt color? BTW, the belt looks fine placement wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168305 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:30:46 +0000 crazyone 168305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara, that's a great suggestion... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168165 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:58:11 +0000 Tara 168165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look really sweet in that outfit!</p> <p>I agree with st4grrl about the contrast, try repeating the tone of the belt in a shoe.</p> <p>Regarding a necklace option, you could also try a small simple pendant that sits in a V around the centre of your chest, nothing too complicated if you're feeling like the ruffles add enough interest already. Something like Angie's casual pendant:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/03/19/spring-2009-update-casual-necklace/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/03/.....-necklace/</a></p> <p>Something in a different colour of course, perhaps a black to match the belt (in fact something on a black leather cord would be perfect!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168153 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:35:59 +0000 crazyone 168153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, why did you feel silly wearing the belt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168149 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:26:50 +0000 florida 168149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think then that all of your colors are good--just need something else black or dark brown to pull it together. Even a darker shoe, although I quite like those that you have on!<br /> The belt really does emphasize your nice shape--I think that this is more of a coloring/balance/contrast issue rather than an issue with how the belt fits you--everything about THAT looks perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168142 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:21:15 +0000 crazyone 168142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>st4rrgrrl, that's a good point about the contrast issue with the belt (it's black). I was actually thinking that a more brownish belt would tie in better.</p> <p>I didn't want to add a necklace because I felt I was covered in ruffles, between the belt and the top...but that's a good idea.</p> <p>The top is actually not fuchsia for once (since I wear that color all the time...), it's a maroon/dark crimson. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168140 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:17:24 +0000 florida 168140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket and top combo! I think that the jeans fit perfectly, and I like th shoes.<br /> Is the belt brown or black? Whichever it is, I feel like you need some other accessory in an equally dark shade (not exactly the same color; just same darkness) to kind of tie it in. ...so that the belt is not THE darkest piece on your body, which maybe cuts you in half a tad? This is a casual outfit, so maybe some beaded bracelets or a leather cuff? Or a dark-beaded necklace. Or a leather cuff AND a beaded necklace... Or a darker top underneath--like a wine color instead of the fuschia? What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168134 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:07:52 +0000 Maya 168134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also wore that belt today and felt silly in it (though I know exactly why). I think it looks fine on you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168130 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:05:39 +0000 Tanya 168130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks lovely! Good job ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-adventures-in-belting#post-168125 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:02:17 +0000 crazyone 168125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y71/quark932/DSCN1550-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i3.photobucket.com/albu.....1550-1.jpg</a></p> <p>is what I wore today. Apologies for the hair and the glasses sliding down my nose (actually, I should get new frames...but that will probably wait sometime)...I just got home from lab and it's almost 11 pm.</p> <p>Thoughts? It's slightly off for me, and I can't put my finger on why, regarding the belting that is. I think of course these shoes would be better combined with a slimmer pant leg, but they're comfy shoes and good for working in my lab plus I'm making sure they're 12 hour shoes for when I go to Portugal But does the jacket/cami/belt combo work? I think the back of the belt is lower in the pic than where I meant it to be.</p> <p>ETA: this is in the wrong topic, sorry </p>
