And you look amazing in navy -- that jacket is excellent.</p> <p>I understand the feeling upon seeing photos or certain mirror angles, but as has been pointed out to me, we tend to see things in our own image that are not apparent to other people's eye. I am always convinced that people immediately notice "huge thighs" as the first thing about me, but the reality is that's mostly in my head. Of course my proportions are not perfect or ideal, but I try to remember that they are not as disproportionate as I perceive them to be. I have never in a second looked at your photos and seen anything other than a beautiful woman with an enviable shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olivenavy---new-favourite-thing-wiw-328-plus-question-about-shirt-length/page/2#post-1636637 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 14:10:03 +0000 lyn67 1636637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really can relate to what you &nbsp;say,Lisa- feeling good and then seeding a random pictie and thinking top should be way longer:-(...It happened to me so many times.

The proportions look perfect to me--the scoop on the shirt makes all the difference, and any longer would seem to shorten your legs. But can I say...OMG, PIC 3!!! You look like a movie star.

I have it propped up on a yoga brick for now, so it slants backwards from the floor. Personally I think mirrors are more slimming angled forward towards the floor (our local Nordie's and Bloomie's has their dressing room mirrors angled this way), though this does shorten leg length. I even told our interior designer I want to position the mirrors strategically so they are flattering. Ha. Ruining my day feeling fat because of my home mirror is just not high on my list!</p> <p>But hotel mirrors are the absolute worst. They can give me a case of insecurity before work, then the bathroom mirrors and everywhere else look just fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olivenavy---new-favourite-thing-wiw-328-plus-question-about-shirt-length#post-1636464 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 01:06:26 +0000 Aquamarine 1636464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This totally works to my eye.
