I am loving the soft bell sleeves. They also are soft and lightweight enough to easily fit into a non-bell shaped sleeve. </p> <p>Added a pic above of how I wore this at work.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853518 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 21:05:32 +0000 AndiB 1853518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>there is not one of these I don't love.&nbsp; um double negative.&nbsp; I love all of these!&nbsp; You look so polished and put together, fashion forward, but don't look like you are trying too hard.&nbsp; You've Incorporated just enough trend to keep the looks contemporary but not too trendy.&nbsp; LOVE the cape, love the bell sleeves.&nbsp; you are rocking these looks, good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853517 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 21:03:58 +0000 Kari 1853517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie. As short as the model-above the wrist? Or slightly longer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853514 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 21:01:39 +0000 Angie 1853514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE IT ALL. </p> <p>The new flouncy blouses are a perfect sub for the Mad Men pussy bows. Together with the caped blazer - Sublime. You have never dressed better, Kari. Killer all round. These items fit into your style and capsule perfectly. Nice to see you wear pants too. </p> <p>Yup. Blazer sleeves need shortening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853513 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 21:00:36 +0000 Kari 1853513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, thank you. it's good to be back when I can! Rest assured, I still wear dresses a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853512 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 20:59:36 +0000 Kari 1853512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I'm not bothered at all by the bell sleeves on the blouses, but the blazer has more heft and structure so I want to make sure the sleeve length doesn't look goofy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853463 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 16:20:20 +0000 DonnaF 1853463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wait for Angie to make the final decision. FWIW, I think the model's sleeves are too short, so at most I would hem them half way between what they are now and how they hit the model so more like your olive jacket.</p> <p>So glad you're posting again! I'm still transitioning thinking of you in the dresses you rock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853451 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 15:32:27 +0000 rachylou 1853451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabness!! I'd be tempted to shorten the sleeves a bit, but probably wouldn't... lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853446 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 15:11:45 +0000 Christina F. 1853446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!

I have no opinion about the burgundy jacket sleeves, but it looks wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853361 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 04:46:07 +0000 Dianna 1853361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are beautiful Kari, I like your color palette, it suits you perfectly.&nbsp; I am no&nbsp;help about the sleeves length of the burgundy blazer, I would leave that&nbsp;to&nbsp;Angie and other fabbers.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853350 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 03:17:05 +0000 Kari 1853350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!</p> <p>Question: will put this in the comments too. Should the sleeves on the burgundy blazer be shortened? They hit the model above the wrist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853324 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 02:03:51 +0000 Anonymous 1853324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari you look amazing, I love the bold colors and strong styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853323 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 01:57:52 +0000 Kari 1853323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are the pieces that they will sub in for: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853315 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 01:44:58 +0000 Jaime 1853315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the mix of burgundy jacket with blue shoes - blouse is gorgeous too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-toppers#post-1853312 Mon, 16 Oct 2017 01:42:41 +0000 Kari 1853312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Several of my favorite, frequently worn blouses and toppers from 2015, and a very old peacock scarf from 2010 or so, aren't exactly showing their age, but come out so frequently that I'm aware they would leave big gaps if they fell apart-and they could use a little relief to avoid wearing them out too soon. Many of those blouses are pussycat-bow styles, so I was craving a replacement with similar drama and floatiness without being too unstructured. Bell sleeves and soft fabrics create a similar pretty effect. </p> <p>Here's what I brought in-plus the new gilet-and what I envisioned for this capsule. The tops work with existing wardrobe pieces too (the burgundy top is a nice faux-dress topper to a burgundy pencil skirt, or to last year's Kut from the Kloth suede and pleather jacket!) but also give me a cushion should older favorites kick the bucket too soon. The gilet works well with all tops. The burgundy blazer and olive jacket work well with either the black floral or the burgundy blouses.</p> <p>(Disclaimer: I have no makeup except lipstick and damp, unstyled hair! And a dog who wanted to join in.)</p> <p>Added a real-life styled pic in comments with a different, gray moto jacket. </p> <p>EDITED: Question. Should the sleeves on the burgundy blazer be shortened? They hit the model above the wrist. </p>
