You looked completely polished and pulled-together in every photo. I love your church outfit. Very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-77279 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:15:43 +0000 PalmFronds 77279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the compliments ladies! I am relieved really. I sometimes think my style is a bit "mature" but when I get everything on, including my favorite scarfs, I really feel great in my own skin, even when my sister says I "dress old."</p> <p>San, sorry for leaving the details off there, I plum forgot about that! Much of those pieces come from Banana Republic, including the pants, this shift dress,the long sleeve shirt and the puff sleeve shirts. The green jacket and the denim clamdiggers are from NY and company.The white/straw bag now my favorite accessory, is from Target.:-)</p> <p>Ele, you are absolutely right, those pants border right on the too-short-for-these heels line.I find myself in an odd spot with pants esp for work: I can't tolerate heels at work, they just kill my feet.Those heels in the pic are actually quite low, between 1/2 to 1 inch high, and the pants are supposed to be hemmed for those heights. But the hem may be slightly too high because I hate my pants dragging or even barely touching the floor in the hospital--I know, so sad that I work there and am germ phobic!. So I may have subconsciously thrown the fashion rule out the window just so they don't touch the floor. I love wearing skirts to work but the buildings are so cold it just doesn't work many times </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-77174 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:55:11 +0000 Ele 77174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, PalmFronds, I love all your outfits. The first on-the-go one is my favourite, I actually love the slightly raised waist on you! I also like the tops with the slightly puffed shoulders- they look great on you. I love a strong shoulder line, think it looks powerful and very attractive. </p> <p>I hate to be the first person to post a criticism, but it looks to me that your trousers might be a touch too short for the heels you're wearing them with, in pics 2 and 3 specifically? It could just be the angle of the photo, of course, but it seems that these pants might work better with flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-77157 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 05:30:09 +0000 Anonymous 77157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love each and every outfit you posted. I just wished you had labled the pictures so I could see what brands the pieces are.<br /> You have a great style that I would love to copy. I don't think your colors etc would work for me but I can appreciate it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-77139 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 03:17:00 +0000 Debora 77139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi PF! I'm a little late but I'd like to welcome you to the forum. </p> <p>Wonderful job posting your outfits! You have great style and make it look so effortless. I think you did a fantastic job accessorizing and I love the scarves on you.</p> <p>All the outfits look so polished and put together. It's hard to pick my favorite but I especially like the brown sheath. It's such a classic look. I also love the one with the olive, belted jacket and jeans. That jacket is amazing on you! </p> <p>Thanks for sharing! Hope to see more of your wonderful style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-76957 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:58:18 +0000 rute 76957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!<br /> Love your style and I can see you have a fabulous taste for bags! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-76899 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:31:35 +0000 PalmFronds 76899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Taylor and Anne! I have seen so much inspiration on the forum here, and learned alot already.Funny thing too--just the act of planning to take the photo makes me pay more attention that how put things together even if I don't post the picture...</p> <p>Anne thanks for your input about the shoulder puffs. The ones I have aren't too poofy but I am wary of looking like a linebacker :-)</p> <p>Long torso-twins, unite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-76893 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:08:02 +0000 anne 76893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PF, I LOVE those MOTG outfits!!! Love love love.</p> <p>I am eagerly awaiting answers on your waist questions because I think you are the closest I have seen to being a long waisted twin. I have similar measurements in the bust, hips and shoulders to you, though a little larger in the waist and not so slim and tall. Perhaps Angie's approval just means you are doing fine in that department.</p> <p>I used to worry about enhancing a strong shoulder line too. I really don't think you need to worry about those puffed sleeves, You looked lovely in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-76863 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 22:23:39 +0000 taylor 76863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also BLOWN away by the way you are able to dress yourself perfectly.</p> <p>You look so elegant and beautiful in everything.:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-76812 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:02:25 +0000 PalmFronds 76812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Geee, Angie thanks so much I am relieved and really happy you put a stamp of approval there! The clothes are some I would normally chose but there was a little extra effort to remember the accessories like the scarf and changing out the watch etc. I enjoy getting a bit more "dressed" with my scarfs etc, I think maybe I just need more practice so it becomes second nature instead of "effort", you know?</p> <p>Funny you chose the shift as your favorite--it is mine too, and I think possibly my favorite dress in my entire wardrobe because I think it fits just right and the waistline is mu natural waist which I really like. Hurrah!</p> <p>Are you okay with the shoulder lines on the puffed sleeves? They are not humongous puffs, but there nonetheless... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-76801 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 15:37:20 +0000 Angie 76801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done for posting your first set of outfits, PF! </p> <p>Well my dear, you get a big fat FABULOUS for the week. You look AMAZING! I’m actually blown away. I cannot see one area that requires improvement. Everything is perfect. That brown sheath dress is KILLER. My word! You are super stylish and I'm impressed. Polished, pretty and very fab. WOW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-outfits-feedback-please#post-76784 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:30:36 +0000 PalmFronds 76784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI Ladies!<br /> Hope you have all had a fantastic 4th :-)<br /> This is my first attempt at posting outfits after a successful body question post two weeks back.This computer has been giving me grief so I hope this works.I am not very computer savvy, I apologize in advance if the links are messy...<br /> Thank you all already for your input and positive vibe--I have already started accessorizing more and generally feeling more put together, so I am on my way!</p> <p>Here are a few of my attempts with some questions, and please be brutally honest, I can take it :-)</p> <p>On-the-go outfits, usually with my two little ones in tow:</p> <p><a href="http://s938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/azzurital/?action=view&#038;current=hotdayAboutTown.jpg&#038;newest=1" rel="nofollow">http://s938.photobucket.com/al.....8;newest=1</a></p> <p><a href="http://s938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/azzurital/?action=view&#038;current=MOTG-outfit.jpg&#038;newest=1" rel="nofollow">http://s938.photobucket.com/al.....8;newest=1</a></p> <p><a href="http://s938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/azzurital/?action=view&#038;current=aboutTown.jpg&#038;newest=1" rel="nofollow">http://s938.photobucket.com/al.....8;newest=1</a></p> <p>TO WORK, which means these outfits are under my white coat most of the time:</p> <p><a href="http://s938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/azzurital/?action=view&#038;current=workday3.jpg&#038;newest=1" rel="nofollow">http://s938.photobucket.com/al.....8;newest=1</a></p> <p><a href="http://s938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/azzurital/?action=view&#038;current=workDay2.jpg&#038;newest=1" rel="nofollow">http://s938.photobucket.com/al.....8;newest=1</a></p> <p><a href="http://s938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/azzurital/?action=view&#038;current=Workday1.jpg&#038;newest=1" rel="nofollow">http://s938.photobucket.com/al.....8;newest=1</a></p> <p>As you can see, I love scarfs :-)</p> <p>And my one attempt at LEGGINGS , but I plan on more in future.I like brown leggings much more than black, so that's what I've got so far:</p> <p><a href="http://s938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/azzurital/?action=view&#038;current=shirtdressAboutTown.jpg&#038;newest=1" rel="nofollow">http://s938.photobucket.com/al.....8;newest=1</a></p> <p>My main question is in regard to my waistline--where do you think it should be focused most?I think I look best with focused waistline at the natural waist, not much higher. The pinkish-red shift I wore to work and the red shirt both have accentuated longer waists in some ways and I think it accentuates my long torso--what do you think?</p> <p>The other question is about shoulder puffs--I have very straight shoulders, and I wonder if these slightly puffed shoulder sleeves are making it more accentuated in a not-positive way? I find I am drawn to them but now I am wondering if this is a good thing or not.</p> <p>Plus any other input is VERY appreciated. Work in progress!</p> <p>Thanks YLF family! </p>
