I think I prefer the first outfit with the cardigan. I do not think that you need the scarf with the tunic and vest combo, I like the tone on tone look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65935 Mon, 18 May 2009 05:48:52 +0000 Angie 65935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I heard about your fab shopping outing on Friday. Have fun! Remember green things too :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65933 Mon, 18 May 2009 05:45:29 +0000 marianne 65933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for validation, ladies!<br /> Sihaya - red accessories are at the top of my list. I am hoping to find something during my shopping outing this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65773 Sun, 17 May 2009 13:27:06 +0000 Sihaya 65773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne - love the cardi w/the yellow. I like the tunic and vest with the scarf - that really helps pop it up a notch. I know how smashing you look in red so I was also yearning for a bit of red (maybe in your accessories) when I saw you in this outfit since it does seem a bit dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65765 Sun, 17 May 2009 11:36:08 +0000 yublocka 65765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne I was going to say what Joy already said - with your lovely figure, you can get away with anything!! Having said that, I think the cardie looks great. I like the tunic on its own, but feel the vest is a tad to long to make them work 100% together. I do love the way you are wearing the scarf though!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65746 Sun, 17 May 2009 02:55:31 +0000 marianne 65746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie! I liked the color combo, too, I am just not very confident about mixing navy with other neutrals. I primarily wear the vest over something white, and I would like to expand its range.<br /> I got the tunic on final sale and I've worn it many times - usually with a cami or scarf. Although it's not perfect (empire waist and tie), I really like the way it functions and that's why I am looking for similar tops.<br /> I'll think about the cardigan. I like the color and the cut in general. The length or the volume factor might be a bit off, but I could still get a lot of mileage out of it in summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65729 Sat, 16 May 2009 23:26:07 +0000 Angie 65729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha. Thanks! </p> <p>The cardi fits you the way it does on the model, perhaps a little snugger but it’s not worth going up a size. It’s good! Do you like it, Marianne? </p> <p>The waistcoat is still okay so no worries. I really like the colours of the tunic and the waistcoat together! Very sophisticated. Something Barneys would do. Are you keeping the tunic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65641 Sat, 16 May 2009 03:03:18 +0000 marianne 65641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the compliments!<br /> Hmm I might try sizing up. Here it is on a model:<br /> <a href="http://www.espritshop.com/Shop/PicDestStyleProduct/LQ3804_050.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.espritshop.com/Shop.....04_050.jpg</a><br /> Angie, I think you were away when I posted the tunic. It has a waist tie that is a little confusing and I also was trying to think of ways to wear it. Here is a picture of it by itself (tied in the back):<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/back.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....o/back.jpg</a><br /> The waistcoat is not new, but I got it while I was nursing so now it's a little loose. I think it's still OK though, isn't it?<br /> And yes, I am really enjoying the white jeans, thanks for steering me in that direction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65639 Sat, 16 May 2009 01:55:42 +0000 Angie 65639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you love your white jeans, Marianne? I love them on you! KILLER. </p> <p>I could be wrong but the grey cardi looks a little snug in the photo. This style should be more voluminous. Does that make sense? Did you try a size up? But the colour is really pretty with the yellow and white.</p> <p>Why did the tunic get the thumbs down? Did I say that too? Is the waist coat new? Sorry for all the questions. Love the scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65620 Sat, 16 May 2009 00:15:10 +0000 sinead 65620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the cardigan. Not sure about the vest over the tunic- it might be a proportion issue or a color- one or both seem a little off. </p> <p>You are so lucky to have a lovely, well-proportioned figure- perfect in your white jeans. And I like the scarf on you. How does the scarf look with the tunic w/o the vest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65597 Fri, 15 May 2009 20:21:59 +0000 Anonymous 65597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cardigan looks great to me both ways. I like the style on you.<br /> The vest and tunic seem too dark in the first photo. The scarf improves the look. A lighter vest might also work.<br /> You have such a beautiful figure. Everything looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65593 Fri, 15 May 2009 19:57:45 +0000 kimlee 65593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked the cardigan over the yellow striped button down shirt. But I am a newbie here, so take my opinion with several grains of salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-on-a-couple-of-things#post-65580 Fri, 15 May 2009 17:12:03 +0000 marianne 65580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up this cardigan (inspired by the post on silver grey). Do you think this shape works for my body type?<br /> Over cami:<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_6959.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_6959.jpg</a><br /> Over yellow striped button down:<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_6962.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_6962.jpg</a></p> <p>I also wanted to get opinions on this tunic that I posted some time back and that didn't get thumbs up. Here I am trying it with a vest. The tunic is sort of dark taupe, a mix of grey, brown and olive and the vest is navy. Does it work or is the color combo too dark? Added scarf on the second pic to brighten up a little.<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_6965.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_6965.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_6966.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_6966.jpg</a><br /> Thanks for any input! </p>
