I love this look. The print and colors in the tunic are gorgeous. I will be honest and say that to me, tops cut like this tend to read as maternity wear. In the photos, at least, it does look like you *could* be in the early stages of pregnancy. It's not you--all tops of this sort look like that to me. One thing that I've found sometimes helps is to add a wide belt, a vest (waistcoat) or a partially buttoned cardi. Maybe you could try that if the "maybe maternity, maybe not" look bugs you (which it sounds like it does)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-755519 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 19:02:24 +0000 Lisa 755519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute outfit! The denim jacket is the perfect length on you. And the top has a fun print. I think the top is one of those styles that leaves it up to the observer, it could be loose or hiding something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-755454 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:42:42 +0000 Scarlet 755454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks really cute! That style of tops is one that could be hiding something or can just be worn the way you do. I wouldn't worry about it. It's just the style, not your shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-755451 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:39:56 +0000 catgirl 755451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is very cute and your hair is gorgeous! I think this top would look sassier if you pulled your hair up into a high ponytail to show off your neckline a bit. I have a bit of a poison eye for empire cuts but I think you're pulling this one off fine. </p> <p>Have we determined your body type yet? That would help in knowing how to advise you. Post a straight-on photo in fitted items (tank and leggings are good) with your arms by your side. Apologies you've already done this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-755442 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:33:53 +0000 Mo 755442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The print on the top is very fun! I also like how the blue of the jacket stands out from the more somber colors in the outfit. I think this is a wonderful first WIW. Heck your lighting alone is better than most my WIW's and I'm in my 3rd year here lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-755436 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:24:04 +0000 rachylou 755436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on first WIW pics! Very pretty all around. I admit the top is the sort that prompts men to say "why are you wearing a maternity top?" until they've been properly scolded and have learned better, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-755389 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 16:27:47 +0000 Jules 755389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you look pregnant, and I like the outfit a lot. That said, having been pregnant in recent memory I tend to avoid tops that have an empire waist combined with fullness (gathers or whatever). It still feels too much like maternity to me and I'd rather not go there </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-755368 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 16:02:05 +0000 Dana 755368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! You don't look pregnant. I think it's just the way you're standing. And what a great job layering should the weather warm up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-755359 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:57:37 +0000 N-Marie 755359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum!!</p> <p>I think you have really cute style! I like the combination of colors, the patter of the top and the cropped jean jacket over the tunic-length top.</p> <p>I do agree that in the 2nd picture (could just be the angle of the photo) that there might be a hint of maternity fashion (with which I am well acquainted!). It could just be your posture- I know that for me, being pregnant and then carrying a kid all day encourages a rather swayback posture unless I really work on it.</p> <p>Sorry to hear about the broken ankle- hope it heals soon and you are back to your regular beloved footwear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-755349 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:43:03 +0000 LadyBirdK 755349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I think that worked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-755026 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 04:28:51 +0000 JulieJohn 755026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LadyBirdK - try again, we're dying to see more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-754999 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:57:06 +0000 Parsley 754999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Strange!<br /> I can see the thumbnails, but I can't open them, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-754982 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:36:56 +0000 Mo 754982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep - no photos here either </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-754973 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:24:17 +0000 Deborah 754973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-754875 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:42:29 +0000 Thistle 754875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-754870 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:39:34 +0000 TraceyLiz65 754870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sane here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-754852 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:13:31 +0000 Caro in Oz 754852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The photos aren't opening for me:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-1st-wiw---casual-motg#post-754836 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:37:39 +0000 LadyBirdK 754836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there, everyone! Presenting my first WIW!<br /> Please disregard the shoes. I am still in a small cast from the broken ankle and am limited to only ridiculous shoes like athletic style sneakers. I can't even wear cons! In these photos I am sneakily wearing slippers "around the house." Don't tell my doctor! I am normally a high heeled boots sort of girl, so maybe imagine those ;)</p> <p>Hmm....in looking at this photo, I think this tunic makes me look pregnant. Kind of disappointing, actually, because I thought I looked cute today. I kind of like to think of my style as mommy boho princess, and I am not sure this outfit really says that. Thoughts and advice welcome!</p> <p>jacket: borrowed from my daughter<br /> tunic: gift from my mother in law<br /> leggings: hand-me-down from my sister<br /> necklace: had from high school!<br /> shoes: not worth talking about =\</p> <p>Did I mention that, up until a month ago, I hadn't bought any new clothes in four years?</p> <p>ETA: Sorry about the photo confusion, ladies. Hopefully this'll work! </p>
