The jeans looks are also very nice, out together and not common at all! I see the love of texture on the dress (and other items) in nr. 4 and is a great look with the tan legs, am only worrying if would pass the sitting down&nbsp;test...(?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394558 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 07:21:33 +0000 CocoLion 1394558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really good in black. &nbsp;Lucky you! &nbsp;</p> <p>And jeans -- wow -- if ever anyone could be a jeans model, it would be you! &nbsp;Those legs just never stop.</p> <p>I also like the last outfit, don't think it's too short. &nbsp;I think it looks just right, and love your styling here with the jacket, wide belt and booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394515 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 05:01:55 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1394515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these outfits. You have that effortless chic look in all of them. I really like the way your bracelets and fun oxfords liven up the classic feel of outfit #3. I agree with the others here that you are a knockout in #4--stunning. You are right, the jacket and belt are terrific together, and the dress is super flattering on you. Love the nude hose with the booties. <br />Like krishnidoux, I was studying #1. In my case, I'm trying to figure out how you look so fantastic in a simple skirt outfit. I agree with others that I would omit the pearls, which look a little too classic for this more modern outfit. Otherwise, I would love to copy the whole effect if I could. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394473 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 02:46:03 +0000 Angie 1394473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4 actually, although you may find it short when you sit down because the skirt is tight. I love the booties and skin toned hose with the look. Fresh.&nbsp;<b>Not a fail at all.&nbsp;</b></p> <p><b><br /> </b></p> <p><b></b>And #3 is my fave, Ms. Very Long Legs. xo<b><br /></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394459 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 02:32:07 +0000 jackiec 1394459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So true how everyone has a favourite! Mine is #1. I love it all. Your legs are miles long... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394454 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 02:27:40 +0000 Jaime 1394454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it interesting that everyone has a different favorite? I think that means they are all terrific. FWIW I pick #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394450 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 02:24:20 +0000 Sara L. 1394450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #1 -&nbsp;I really like the monochromatic look. &nbsp;The necklace looks good to me. I think the length in #4 is fine but I like shorter skirts than many on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394402 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 01:41:32 +0000 Carole 1394402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab x 4, dianthus! I especially love the blouse in 3 ..super flattering neckline, color and well everything! And 4 is a great dress and the length looks perfect to me...you must be tall...look at your long gorgeous legs:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394396 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 01:33:34 +0000 Kristin L 1394396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of your outfits look great.&nbsp;I love the top in #3 as well! And #4 is perfect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394388 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 01:18:48 +0000 Suz 1394388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful. I love all of these, but I'm especially wowed by #3, maybe because it's a beautiful monochrome look after my heart. Which Zara top is that? Do you have it in Finds?&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 is fantastic. It's strong, simple, and unique. Love the hardware mixed with the elegant dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>In #1, you are once again Lady Long Legs in those gorgeous boots. Love the pattern on the skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394383 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 01:13:14 +0000 krishnidoux 1394383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all! Especially 4!<br />I'm studying 1 and 4 in a row to try to find out what it is that makes 4 so harmonious, and 1 more casual.&nbsp;<br />It's not that I don't like 1, but after seeing 4, 1 now does not look as good. Why?<br />Analyzing 1:<br />I immediately think it's because of the skirt: it is a bit too square... or not enough of it is shown. How about wearing a top tucked?<br />I also think the top is a tad too long: it's not too long by itself and with other things, but in this particular combo, after seeing how striking you can be in a skirt/dress, it seems to me the proportion is a bit off in 1, and that the top stops too low.&nbsp;<br />Long boots, on the other hand, are perfect perfect here. They really elevate the outfit and the skirt.&nbsp;<br />Have you tried this same skirt with a tucked in button down shirt?<br />Analyzing 4:&nbsp;<br />It's the booties... the structured jacket... defined, square shoulders... defined waist...&nbsp;<br />You have a beautiful figure, to die for. Show it off!&nbsp;</p> <p>(After reading the comments I agree that the necklace should go. It unnecessarily weighs down the outfit, which might look completely different without it).</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394377 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 01:09:27 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1394377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you are right Dee. &nbsp;I think I added the black pearls more to break up the chest than to tie in the skirt. &nbsp;I have a few pendants in white metals and could have subbed one.</p> <p>Lisa, I work in Johnson terminal at the Forks. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394374 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 01:07:30 +0000 Dee 1394374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the looks, including 4.&nbsp; I think a necklace is a good idea in 1 and I think the pearls are fine though a less conservative one would be a good substitue if you have one.&nbsp; To me, the necklace is not necessarily to tie in the skirt, but rather to break up the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394367 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 00:58:38 +0000 Sal 1394367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A good week!</p> <p>I think 4 is great, the whole look is stylish and it&nbsp;makes a statement.</p> <p>I think that the necklace on 1 is distracting, I would prefer it without one. &nbsp;The boots are really great on you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394264 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 22:34:45 +0000 Anonymous 1394264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pieces Cheryle! &nbsp;I don't think the dress is too short -maybe for sitting it would be, but for evening. dinner out etc - it looks great on you. And I would leave your hosiery as is- the nude tone is perfect here. &nbsp;Those jeans are so perfect for you - I think that every time you post a pic of them:) &nbsp;And.....what tourist trap, oooops, site do you work at??? &nbsp;I like that sweater on you and think is blue/taupe mix is just fine.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394237 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 21:58:06 +0000 bj1111 1394237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>number fooooouuuuuurrrrr is my fave. &nbsp;the light color tights make it less harley mama, more urban(e) dweller. &nbsp;LOVE.</p> <p>#3 works particularly well too as a deceptively simple outfit. &nbsp;everything fits really well. &nbsp;great proportions.</p> <p>the leopard in #1 is enough of a neutral that it doesn't need to be tied in. &nbsp;the pearls are a bit conservative in this context. &nbsp;i would prefer an updated long pendant if you choose to wear anything.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394112 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 19:50:18 +0000 Quietgirl 1394112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chic, chic. I especially love 2 and 4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-so-relaxed-pencil-and-t-neck#post-1394079 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 18:57:43 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1394079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is close but not quite the look.&nbsp; I am adding a few more WIW that I took but haven't posted.</p> <p>1.&nbsp; I have had this MK skirt for years.&nbsp; It is a ponte knit and super comfortable.&nbsp; I added the BR t-neck, black striped tights and tall boots to make it a monochromatic look.&nbsp; The black pearls seemed to be right to tie in the skirt and sweater.&nbsp; Or not.&nbsp; :)</p> <p>2.&nbsp; I work in a tourist trap...ummm...tourist venue... and popped in at a shop last week to look at a sweater.&nbsp; I ended up buying this one.&nbsp; The next smaller size fit better from the waist up but this one was better in the hip area.&nbsp; I put a coordinating tank under it,&nbsp;ON sweatheart&nbsp;jeans&nbsp;and my Earthies oxfords which are super comfy.&nbsp; Is the sweater&nbsp;a winner??&nbsp; the taupe background isn't my best color but I love blue and the zip has nice detail.</p> <p>3.&nbsp; I bought this top at zara in TO.&nbsp; I also got it in white.&nbsp; Also with the ON jeans.</p> <p>4.&nbsp; I saw this dress on a blog and really liked the texture (it may not show in the pic).&nbsp; I ordered it thinking it would be longer since they are usually at least 4" closer to the knee on average people as compared to the models.&nbsp; It is SHORT but I thought that might work to de-stumpify the bootie without dark tights look.&nbsp; This is in fail territory but I like the jacket and belt.&nbsp; LOL</p> <p>Critique welcome. </p>
