To me, this *is* flattering--it looks very chic and suits you well. You look confident and like yourself, and the loose shapes are of-the-moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-664056 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 02:01:25 +0000 Victoria 664056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what are you talking about, "unflattering"?! I think it looks great and the proportions are just right on you. Btw, that Bugs Bunny episode is one of my all time favorites! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-664039 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 01:33:41 +0000 Heather 664039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally dig this look, Una. Bulkier sweaters are awesome and aren't going to be the most flattering piece ever. Period. No matter body type/shape.</p> <p>On a LOL note: this was a hilarious bit on Bugs Bunny....he said: "Now dip your paddies in the water...." (cue mouse traps on the tips of the monster's fingers). #childhoodmemories </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663953 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 22:21:52 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 663953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks really good too but I am also sensitive to the shoulder issue. I think the problem to me is that the sleeves end at the widest point of the chest creating a wider block on top which adds to the expanse of shoulder. Does that make sense?</p> <p>It seems that only those of us who worry about footballer shoulders even notice it but it isn't enough to make me not like the whole ensemble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663907 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:33:18 +0000 biscuitsmom 663907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No disaster from what Im seeing! You rock this look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663876 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:29:39 +0000 Kiwichik 663876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You totally rock this look - very cool - deinitely nothing like the furry red dude. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663742 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 14:19:13 +0000 Anonymous 663742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes cool is way better than flattering. And everyone knows you have a great, fit, slim, athletic body in there. Somewhere.

I see that you are wearing one, but it blends into the print of the blouse. Do you have one that stands out more? A neon citron first comes to mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663608 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 03:56:18 +0000 Scarlet 663608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look super cool AND attractive, in sum FANTASTIC. Go out now and have some fun! That is one of my all time favorite Bugs episodes, so thanks for the reference, but it has nothing to do with you in your favorite things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663596 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 03:08:21 +0000 MNsara 663596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's definitely part of your style to rock your IT like this Well done!</p> <p>I agree totally about what's killer for one is not necessarily killer all around . . . it took me many failed attempts at copying other YLFers fab looks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663570 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 01:22:46 +0000 Jaime 663570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you know the red guy's name is Gossamer? Neither did I, but Google did! As for this outfit working despite the rule breaking, I don't know why it does but it does. I think your shoulders are what make it work in this case - I see them as an asset. Another thought - is there any way you can get your entire shoe in the picture? I think it would be easier to see what is happening that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663556 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:18:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 663556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I laughed out loud Una when I saw your Bugs Bunny reference! Too funny!</p> <p>Like everyone has mentioned, by your description of each piece, this outfit shouldn't work and yet it does. Because you wear it with style and confidence. I really think that confidence is key to wearing any look - you own it.</p> <p>If I sit and stare at your shoulders in this picture, then I notice shoulders. But I don't because my eyes are noticing all of the interesting parts of the outfit that come together. I think a lower scoop or v-neck would help this but it still works.</p> <p>So since your men are away, what are you going to wear tomorrow??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663551 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:57:35 +0000 jen 663551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rockin' it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663539 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:04:36 +0000 catgirl 663539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I see that too. I think a different neckline would help - this feels a bit like a poncho. </p> <p>Natalie, you are too funny. Your comment makes me wonder if we are predisposed to like or not like something depending on how we see that person's personality or sttyle. Do you think people would find this same outfit "wrong" on you if we didn't "know" your style beforehand? </p> <p>And conversely, are people liking it on me because they know it IS my style? </p> <p>Of course, that's a relevant part of any look Once Angie explained that her K ratings are based on each person's specific style (therefore, a K on Natalie might be a fail on me), I understood much better why I couldn't and shouldn't try to wear everything I saw and loved on other YLFers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663531 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:54:38 +0000 rae 663531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do see a lot of shoulder with this top, but I am sensitive to shoulders. </p> <p>You definitely pull off all the volume, cuffs, and high vamp, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663508 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:07:01 +0000 Deborah 663508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love it! And I don't find it unflattering at all. You give it quite a feminine edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663503 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:55:31 +0000 kellygirl 663503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see a disaster! I think it looks uber cool and very Una! I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663498 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:44:32 +0000 Sveta 663498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know how they say: it is so ugly it is beautiful! :--)<br /> If you break your outfit out it sounds very unflattering in theory but reality beats the theory this time. I think it is a very cool outfit Una and so very you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663494 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:33:19 +0000 Anonymous 663494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whatever you are doing, it's working. I especially love that you can pull this off and are you are not a tall waif-like model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663480 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:58:49 +0000 Kirti 663480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look FREAKING cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663476 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:53:23 +0000 Meredith1953 663476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you! The fact that the gray sweater is cropped so I can see a little of the top underneath still gives you a waistline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663475 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:52:29 +0000 MsMary 663475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look adorable! I would love it even more if the black top were longer, I think. But it's so "Una," and how could that not be fab? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663470 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:48:45 +0000 goldenpig 663470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Una you crack me up with the furry red IT guy! I love your outfit...only you could pull off what sounds like on paper to be frumpy. But it totally works because all the pieces are so you! And you're so edgy you can pull off what could potentially be unflattering on others. Can you imagine me wearing your outfit--baggy low crotch boyfriend jeans and grey waist surrender top? I think I'd look like a sack of potatoes, whereas you look edgy-cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-things-recipe-for-disaster#post-663467 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:38:59 +0000 catgirl 663467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waist surrendering top: check.<br /> Slouchy BF jeans: check.<br /> Rolled cuffs: check.<br /> High vamp studded Danskos: check.</p> <p>Is it possible to come up with a more unflattering formula? I feel like so much of what I love is within the edgy but not so flattering range. And here I am wearing them together, because my DH and DS have gone to Denali camping for 3 days and left me to my own devices!</p> <p>The neckline of the top may be an extra problem - I feel a bit like this dude from Bugs Bunny (talk about an IT!):</p> <p>Honesty appreciated! </p>
