I know chucks wouldn't be for every workplace... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-875868 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 19:09:30 +0000 Nicole D 875868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you feel better soon! Thanks for providing the close up - gorgeous colours and textures. I was thinking long silver necklace. Or a touch of red somewhere - it looks good on the red mannequin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-875866 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 19:07:30 +0000 Karie 875866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Chucks, Rachylou? I do have a pair in light gray, but that's a real walk on the wild side for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-875825 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:34:36 +0000 rachylou 875825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I don't know how I feel about a denim jacket and/or blouse. This works for me right now, because all the items seem of a kind to me, in weight and texture. My thoughts run more along the lines of adding a necklace and... shoes. I'd personally wear chucks with this outfit, like I feel pumps would not be in keeping with the rest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-875462 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:49:21 +0000 moira 875462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. I think I would wear this with patterned tights and fierce shoes so it doesn't come across as mumsy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-875288 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 04:24:54 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 875288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kinda like the way the cardi plays against the skirt, echoing the waistband. What I would change is the black top. What about a crisp white blouse? Alternatively, omit the cardi and add a pretty pendant to the black top, to accent the sparkle in the skirt.<br /> Hope you're feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-875236 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 02:56:28 +0000 Karie 875236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Pil and Beth, I might try and jazz it up a bit tomorrow and take some pics for comparison. Maybe I'll try some blazers/jackets, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-875123 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 01:04:17 +0000 pil 875123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this as is on your body double. Hope you're feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-874722 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:13:27 +0000 Beth Ann 874722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While a blouse would perk up the cardi (I seem to remember a blog post about blouse and cardi "twinsets" a few months back, I think you have interesting texture and lovely proportions here. I'd try as is and add a scarf or necklace if needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-874680 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:24:41 +0000 Karie 874680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne, I was thinking a silky blouse would look better. Even though the cardi has some sparkle to it, it is looking somewhat frumpy to me. Should I go with a black blouse or a color?</p> <p>Maybe something like this, just not sheer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-874675 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:20:21 +0000 jayne 874675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>not thrilled about the cardi, but then I don't like them much on myself. Can you try with a silky contrast blouse to change textures? tucked of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-874649 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:57:03 +0000 Karie 874649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, GG, I do have a few necklaces I could try with it. Since there is detail at the neckline of the t-shirt, perhaps a long pendant? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-874647 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:53:58 +0000 Greek Goddess 874647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would add a brightly coloured necklace or scarf for a pop of colour </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-874645 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:49:54 +0000 Thistle 874645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Ornella, so hard without seeing it on, but I lvoe the color palette and the proportions look like they will be terrific.</p> <p>I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-874609 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:03:23 +0000 Ornella 874609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to tell about proportions without actually seeing it on you, but I love the outfit. The waistband is an excellent feature, the skirt itself very pretty and the subtle pattern mixing action just fab.</p> <p>I hope you get better soon and we get to see this on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-body-doubles-wiw-and-she-needs-help#post-874589 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:39:23 +0000 Karie 874589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, home sick today with a rotten head cold - too stuffed up to sleep, too awful-feeling to move off the couch :(<br /> So, this is what I was going to wear to work today. It's a wool blend skirt with a little silver sparkle to it. I really like the gray waistband, it has black piping around it, and I don't want to cover it up. The cardi also has a little sparkle to it on the pocket (this shows) and inside the button placket (this doesn't show).</p> <p>Does it look OK with the cardi, or "meh" like I'm thinking it does? How are the proportions? Should I ditch the cardi and add some color? Maybe my AE denim jacket for a totally different vibe?</p> <p>At least my body double felt like getting dressed today :)</p> <p>Comments and suggestions are welcome, thank you!</p> <p>Skirt - JC Penney<br /> Cardi - Gap<br /> T-shirt - Ann Taylor Loft </p>
