Chic, put together, professional. Absolutely nothing wrong with any of your outfits. Here's my play by play commentary though.</p> <p>Monday- killer, adorable, fantastic! Great colors. I think one thing that makes this outfit so great is the contrast of the casual jacket with the dressier tone of the skirt and boots.</p> <p>Tuesday-absolutely nothing wrong, but you might feel a little more pizzaz-y if you break up the jacket and pants. Since your pants and shirt are more on the conservative side, try a more fun jacket and see what happens.</p> <p>Wednesday- agian KILLER, fabulous, very sweet. I think you do skirts so well because it adds one more piece of interest (the skirt/boot thing) Love the pink scarf with it. It adds just the pop of color you need there. Wear that again!!!</p> <p>Thursday- I think it's a really cute outfit. Certainly worth wearing again. Try tying the scarf differently, or wearning a bit longer scarf. Try a different color sweater too. Perhaps black and white isn't the best color combo for you. </p> <p>Friday- I really like it. I like seeing the sleeve peek out from under the sleeve. I think that actually takes the outfit from ho-hum to a bit of pizzaz! But then again, you also don't have on any of those fabulous bright colors that you wear so well. Try that pants and jacket with a brighter color top- pink, teal, purple, and see what you think.</p> <p>All of your outfits say class, style and confidence to me. There's not a one of them I'd tell you not to wear again, but those were my thoughts on bringing the 8's up to 10+'s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oufits-from-the-week-trying-2-redeem-myself-from-a-previous-disaster#post-102992 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 09:55:16 +0000 Louise 102992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Monday- great love the pearls</p> <p>Tuesday- Love the bright orange such a contrast to the black</p> <p>Wednesday- FABULOUS my favourite</p> <p>Thursday- I think the overall look is a bit dated have you tried the Angie knot with your scarf? <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/04/07/tying-scarves-with-the-angie-knot/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/04/.....ngie-knot/</a> if you scroll down the page Angie shows the knot with shorter scarves.</p> <p>Friday- love the stripy top though agree perhaps it needs to be a bit longer love the jacket though possibly with a shorter sleeve top underneath. Like the idea of a statement broach on the jacket x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oufits-from-the-week-trying-2-redeem-myself-from-a-previous-disaster#post-102977 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:38:29 +0000 Angie 102977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful, Susan! The outfit with the Summer skirt with the pink scarf and boots is KILLER. My favourite :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oufits-from-the-week-trying-2-redeem-myself-from-a-previous-disaster#post-102964 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 04:13:37 +0000 RoseandJoan 102964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the blog Joy was talking about<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/28/the-right-length-for-tops-worn-over-pants/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/.....ver-pants/</a></p> <p>Personally I see no problem with any of your outfits and I love your scarf from the eighties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oufits-from-the-week-trying-2-redeem-myself-from-a-previous-disaster#post-102960 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:38:58 +0000 Anonymous 102960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susan, you have put together some very cute and creative outfits. My favorites are the first one and the BR pants suit with the wonderful splash of orange. The new denim jean jacket looks great with your skirt and your tailor did a wonderful job lengthening the BR pants.<br /> I suspect that the problem with your Thursday and Friday pant outfits is that the layering top is too short for pants, especially with a short jacket over it. I believe Angie recommends that the top be no shorter than 2-3 inches above the crotch, but can't manage a search of the archives just now. You can put a cropped jacket over this longer layer. You could also put a long jacket like a boyfriend jacket or a long cardi over a shorter top underneath, although then I like mine better if jacket or cardi are buttoned at the waist. You might experiment to see what you think.<br /> Another thought would be to wear a broach on the lapel.<br /> The way you are wearing the scarf on Thursday seems old fashioned. Go to Angie's blog post on Oct 22 (MOTG Autumn Flop proof outfit #2) and, under "scarf" click on the 2nd and the 3rd "this" to see other ways to wear that scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oufits-from-the-week-trying-2-redeem-myself-from-a-previous-disaster#post-102945 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 23:24:57 +0000 susand 102945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted my outfits from the week.
