How do I want flares like this to work with the shoes? I know I don't need to drag them on the ground in back, like a 70s love child, but how do I determine the best heel height for them? Please help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121638 Mon, 18 May 2020 20:14:35 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2121638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Prepster! When I first started here, one of my first posts was about the glut of blue dresses in my closet. I've intentionally avoided buying more, but I'm wearing another one today, and have one more cued up for the warm temps later this week. That said, I may have over-corrected into the berry fields just a smidge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121578 Mon, 18 May 2020 16:42:05 +0000 Angie 2121578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost want to shorten those red pants a little more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121515 Mon, 18 May 2020 12:42:31 +0000 Preppy Pear 2121515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tights! I do love you in warm colors and in black, but love how the blue mask and blue jacket set off your hair, too.<br /> Tunic dresses look great on you but I am loving the short top/jacket with pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121393 Sun, 17 May 2020 23:59:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2121393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Toronto, that's funny, because I actually AM knock-kneed. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks Suntiger!</div><div><br /></div><div>Joy, if I ever get any flat boots, I'll try them.

Sneakers &amp; sandals for me, Chucks for my son. </p> <p>Angie, thanks for the correction. What do you think about the flares with those boots? Stick to the oxfords that have (practically) no heel, like in pic #2 of this post? <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-don%e2%80%99t-like-the-weather-wait-5-minutes">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-5-minutes</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121264 Sun, 17 May 2020 15:51:53 +0000 Angie 2121264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I meant photo #3, actually.

(#1 and #2). I love your Mary Janes, but maybe they are the "missing link" to make your outfits BAM artistic MODERN chill, not just artsy chill? Just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121257 Sun, 17 May 2020 14:43:44 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2121257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, if you like #3, then the pants must be long enough to wear with those boots. Yay! That greatly extends the seasons to wear them. </p> <p>Thanks Anne! As we say in our household, I was “soakin’ doakin’ wet”. I wasn’t thinking about it when I put this post together, but I guess all 3 outfits highlight my legs somehow. </p> <p>Bijou, you know my attitude—sometimes you just have to laugh! I will have to try the dress with tall boots. Think I posted it recently with the red ankle boots, but I haven’t tried the tall ones yet. Could be a good way to extend wearability, with my long black cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121254 Sun, 17 May 2020 14:34:58 +0000 Angie 2121254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are at ease with showcasing your knees, and like the short dress aesthetic. That's all the wearer needs to wear the look! Go for it, and rock on.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like outfit #3 best here. Good mask look too!&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121250 Sun, 17 May 2020 14:28:33 +0000 anne 2121250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have great legs and I like all your(non drenched versions of!) outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121215 Sun, 17 May 2020 10:26:50 +0000 Bijou 2121215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is so fab on you - I like the layered blouse over the dress and the tights are fab too.<br />#2 showcases what a great figure you have, wear and enjoy this little number. I find dresses like this easier to wear with sheer black hosiery and boots creating a column of dark colour. It looks much nicer when you are not soaked to the skin (you are a good sport to post this picture)!<br />#3 flares are just superb on you and how great if the length goes with flat shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121212 Sun, 17 May 2020 10:02:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2121212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachylou! From the comments, I wasn’t sure if people meant it as a style thing or a body thing. I’m sure Angie’s knees look as good as the rest of her, but don’t know if others have the same confidence in their bodies. </p> <p>For now this dress is going to a back rack, to be worn mostly with cardis. I still have a bit of a lower tummy to lose; maybe I’ll like it solo after that. </p> <p>I think it’s funny that the bottom part of the dress is an entirely different color in the rained out pic. </p> <p>You know the 3-6 outfit is the same as 2, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121150 Sat, 16 May 2020 23:13:00 +0000 rachylou 2121150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! Y’all really got drenched! Love the outfit in 3+. </p> <p>To me longer hemlines/covering the knees and showing more lower leg is just more modern. I like that dress in 6 and the shoes, but just feel it’s a tad old-fashioned. But you know, Seinfeld... ‘not that there’s anything wrong with that’ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121128 Sat, 16 May 2020 21:26:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2121128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kellygirl! I’ve worn these flares quite a bit lately, and now understand why they were so popular in the 70s—that great illusion about leg length. Our weather has indeed been crazy—a week ago I posted outfits with shorts one day, then a fleece-lined vest &amp; pants the next. This week, the madness continued, with rain added in. </p> <p>Sal, thanks for the helpful analysis. The dress, like the flares, was purchased over a year ago as motivation to get down to this size. I usually stand behind that practice, but in this occasion, it didn’t turn out so well. I thought the dress worked in the outfit with the cardi, but am honestly a bit disappointed that my body looks so meh in it without a topper. </p> <p>Thanks slim cat! Can you believe that pic is actually in a shop window, not a mirror at all? I was so happy to see it I forgot to notice the bright blue turn sign behind me. The striped scarf and paisley shirt were a gamble, but I guess it worked. </p> <p>Thanks everybody for the comments on my<b> knees</b>!! After Angie’s dress clean out, I was surprised how many people posted that they don’t like to show their knees, so I started wondering about mine as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121114 Sat, 16 May 2020 20:27:33 +0000 slim cat 2121114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfits - printed top with tunic ( dress?) is great. Tights, scarf and mask are working well together.&nbsp;<br />Pic #2 is really interesting as a view on a street life and fashion.&nbsp;<br />You look good in shorter dress and your knees are looking fine . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121112 Sat, 16 May 2020 20:13:44 +0000 Sal 2121112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 1 on you. That is a fun layered outfit and the scarf looks wonderful.</p> <p>I also like 3 - simple and flattering.</p> <p>I see no issues with your knees. Your legs look great. I am not liking this dress as much as some others on you. But I am a bit off shorter dresses myself - but into shorter shorts so it could be me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121106 Sat, 16 May 2020 19:46:06 +0000 kellygirl 2121106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tunic outfit with the tights! Proportions are so perfect and it looks so stylish! I see nothing wrong with your knees in the Mini dress. I can’t believe how variable your weather must be to go from tights to bare legged! You wear flares so well— your legs look sooo long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-weather-wind-rain-chill#post-2121099 Sat, 16 May 2020 19:23:03 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2121099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you think?</p> <p>I found another chance to wear the pinstriped tights. The shoes weren’t the best for walking a few miles as the soles are thin &amp; my toe isn’t quite healed. Wish I’d thought to roll up the sleeves earlier. </p> <p>Before and after pix of trying to walk to dinner for Mother’s Day. We came home, dried off, &amp; ordered in. QUESTION: do my knees here exemplify why some eschew above-knee dresses? </p> <p>Third outfit isn’t that exciting, other than that it was cold enough for boots! I’m not sure these pants are long enough for this much heel, tbh. Angie posted a Friday outfit last year that was red pants &amp; creamy top. Neither the pants nor the rain jacket fit me then.</p> <p>Looking forward to comments &amp; ideas. </p>
