I skipped the belt and let it hang almost like a flannel dress lol. Shirt is a bit big and it will probably shrink some after washing. I only paid 99cents for it new on clearance at Kmart, lol so its not worth altering. Worst case scenario it becomes a sleep shirt lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749958 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:57:37 +0000 lyn67 749958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shirt is a bit oversized here-overhelming you, and I wouldn't belt it at all just let it open, as I almost cannot see the sequins on your tank, but then you'll have to look for a more streamlined plaid shirt...or can you take in on this one? Great colours, and esp love the flats:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749898 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 04:17:29 +0000 Deborah 749898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the plaid and sequins and the colors are beautiful on you. I am with Rae, you don't need the belt. I do wonder if the shirt isn't a touch too big on you though?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749888 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 03:44:14 +0000 MsLuna 749888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Cheryl - I think it would work out without a belt. I think this is the item throwing the proportions off. The blue is lovely on you and the entire combo has a really cute gamine feel to it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749885 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 03:41:42 +0000 cheryl 749885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Zapotee.</p> <p>I did wear it without the belt and got a couple compliments at work so thats always a good thing and it was a really comfortable outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749872 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 03:25:31 +0000 Anonymous 749872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>blue is a beautiful color on you. I agree, you definitely don't need the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749858 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 03:09:16 +0000 cheryl 749858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Lisa </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749448 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 20:03:16 +0000 Lisa 749448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colors in the shirt on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749269 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 17:20:23 +0000 cheryl 749269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you rachylou </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749266 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 17:17:52 +0000 rachylou 749266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the belt were more like an obi belt without hanging ends... maybe you can tuck the ends in? I do feel the plaid is a little big in the upper chest and arm holes, but as you say, when your arms are down the drape is much better. </p> <p>But these are tweaks. I quite like the look overall. Love those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749259 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 17:07:02 +0000 cheryl 749259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie! You are too sweet! The shirt is probably just a bit too big. </p> <p>TraceyLiz65, my photographer isn't here anymore, lol. It might look better higher or if I had a real belt and not a scarf. At the moment I have taken Rae's thought and removed the belt. I'm not sure it looks any better but I feel more like me, lol. </p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749232 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 16:23:11 +0000 TraceyLiz65 749232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really wish you would repost with the belt up higher, as I feel that it is throwing off the entire look. Taking pictures is so helpful for us to get a good view as I for one know my mirror lies to me.... I love the pieces and just know the belt is the problem and am itching to see that. can't help myself, ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749228 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 16:11:22 +0000 Angie 749228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's why Cheryl is our Queen Smile :). Her kind, bubbly and positive persona shines along with everything that she wears. I want to hug Cheryl each time I see her photo!</p> <p>You know I love the pairing of flannel with sequins! I do wonder whether the shirt is a little too oversized, though. Perhaps that is what is putting you off? I'm not sure whether a belt will fix the silhouette. </p> <p>The leggings and ballet flats combo are so sweet on you. And great to see your killer specs again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749223 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 16:00:29 +0000 cheryl 749223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much calmwave, that is such a thoughtful thing to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749221 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:58:54 +0000 calmwave 749221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm far from knowledgeable enough in fashion to give good feedback but I had to say that you have such an infectious, irrepressible smile that I can't imagine anything not looking good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749217 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:52:07 +0000 cheryl 749217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I don't feel comfortable in belts so I think you might be right! Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749211 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:40:09 +0000 rae 749211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the plaid and sequin mix! Great colors, too. I agree the belt is a little low - or maybe it doesn't need the belt at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749199 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:21:46 +0000 cheryl 749199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Tina! In real life it drapes a little better, i think the camera angle and the way i have my arms make it look weird. I need to buy a belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749197 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:14:37 +0000 Tina 749197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, the colors are very nice on you! I love your shoes. Somehow the proportions are off but I'm not sure how much of that is due to your photography problem:-)<br /> Maybe try a belt and then place it a bit higher? This may be a look you have to play with a bit to get it just right. You need to wear that color more often, just gorgeous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaidsequin-yay-or-nay#post-749189 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:07:52 +0000 cheryl 749189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! First off don't look at or mind the hair, it's in a clip and I haven't messed with it yet, just pondering this outfit. I am trying the plaid flannel / sequin/ legging look and i'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't really have a belt but felt it needed some waist definition so i tied a scarf around my waist. So is it cute, too lumberjack broad shouldered, or too 80's? All input appreciated. I think i need a tripod. Everyone is taller than me and my full length pics always look off :(</p> <p>Sequin Tank: Notations<br /> Plaid Flannel: Bongo<br /> Scarf: ?<br /> Leggings: Old Navy<br /> Shoes: Mossimo </p>
