I think the look has killer potential. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-copycat-flop#post-419942 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 19:36:23 +0000 Mo 419942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Marley thanks for chiming in! I would never have guessed that a white button down didn't feel 'you' by your pics! Makes me feel better. And it's a big lesson, that Angie has preached before, it's *how* you wear something that gives it it's style! I will try again. I think in the Tahoe closet is at least one or two pair of jeans that are ready to become shorts Try try again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-copycat-flop#post-419923 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 18:36:08 +0000 Marley 419923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Malina - this is a good try! I think you've got it figured out already - the shorts need to be more streamlined - the cuffed jeans also need to have a less bulky cuff. Don't give up on this look! Your shirt, paired with a slimmer fitting denim bottom should be all this takes - and if you find the right kind of shorts, you will get to show off your beautiful legs - which you should take full advantage of! Also, I would love to see this outfit paired with your more feminine looking white shirt, than the one that I had - I think that would be a great juxtaposition!</p> <p>And the red dress? FAB. I would have never thought of pairing this with gray and cognac - it takes the dress far, far away from the hoochie vibe! Looks great on you!</p> <p>One more thing about the white shirt with denim bottoms - I HATE white button downs in general - have never felt good in them - but when I paired this with the shorts all of a sudden I was in LOVE! I had found a way to make a white button down "my own" and it felt great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-copycat-flop#post-419667 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 03:46:09 +0000 rae 419667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 would be even closer if you didn't have as much bulk in the rolled part... but yeah, I see what you mean. Compared to #4 there is no contest. Do you have non-denim shorts that fit closer than the bf shorts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-copycat-flop#post-419661 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 03:34:59 +0000 sarah 419661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that #2 is close, but perhaps the top is too feminine for the vibe. I do like your red dress as tunic with the leggings and those cognac boots. That's an unexpected combination that works really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-copycat-flop#post-419654 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 03:19:32 +0000 Mo 419654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was inspired by both Marley and Aida to pair a button down with shorts this week. Well, my version did not quite go as well lol! I think part of the problem is not having a proper pair of shorts to do this with - close fitting but not tight. I ended up rolling up a pair of cropped jeans and making do once I realized the BF shorts didn't hit the mark. They missed the mark, too. EDIT: and I realize the shirt needs a good ironing - I just haven't figured out how to iron the pucker/pleats on the bust detail!</p> <p>Just for comparison's sake, I'll add the pic of the tunic/dress that I took within 10 minutes of the shorts pics. The way you dress your body type really can make a difference!! </p>
