You show great style flair and are motivated to try new things. I like your energy and positive attitude :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112291 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:50:22 +0000 Queen Mum 112291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie- I'll try it again another time with jeans and a jacket. Oh well, it's all part of the learning curve! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112285 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:36:29 +0000 Angie 112285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear Kim, I think this combination will work even better with jeans and a blazer :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112211 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 17:03:54 +0000 medusa 112211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queenie, you DEFINITELY do not look like a moron. The tie + sweater look is fun and the colors match so well, it's great.</p> <p>I think the tie looks better longer. The short versions look a bit off to me. I also like it best with the long necklace, like in your last photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112128 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 08:04:40 +0000 RoseandJoan 112128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the variation with the brooch the best, followed by the long necklace. The necklace is the first picture is so beautiful it deserves to be stand alone piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112124 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 07:28:04 +0000 AJ 112124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun idea! I like the last look best. Also, I think that layered necklace is stunning on its own! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112112 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 06:06:26 +0000 Queen Mum 112112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>here's a better full length pic of how I ended up leaving the house- I tied the tie lower and layered the necklace over it.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4202698046/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....202698046/</a></p> <p>I do think a jacket would be cute with it... it was a bit warmer today though and I was already wearing 2 layers so didn't add a jacket.<br /> And no, hubby doesn't mind me borrowing his ties- he hardly ever wears them anyway. I only saw a couple that I think would look decent on me, but I guess you never know till you try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112089 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 03:43:42 +0000 Jean Gray 112089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queenie, what a fun thing to do! I had forgotten about that post and went back to check it out again which makes me think I should go back and study Angie's blog more often...how soon I forget!<br /> Anyway I think it looks cute with the denim skirt. Would your husband mind you trying out other ties in his colection?! It would be fun to see a couple different prints. Maybe also a jacket of some sort with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112072 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 00:03:40 +0000 Queen Mum 112072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi Angie- yes it's Kim- I"m glad you like my profile pic. It's one of the better pics I've had taken in a while- LOL<br /> Yes, I was inspired by your fabulous tie with pearls. Never thought in a million years I'd try it myself, but I was trying to decide between a necklace and a scarf this morning and the thought to raid my hubby's tie collection popped into my head.<br /> I just cant decide whether the tie should be left longer or shorter. At first I felt that it looked better shorter, but now I"m not sure. I can't get a pic at the moment.<br /> So, are you saying it doesn't work as well with the pearl necklace? Too overpowering? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112049 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:48:02 +0000 Angie 112049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queenie, are you Kim? Love the new profile pic!</p> <p>I like how you’re having fun with DH’s wardrobe. You are full of energy and it’s fabulous. (Was it my recent suit post that gave you this idea by any chance?) I think that the last two experiments totally work. Divine! Now let’s see the whole outfit :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112036 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:21:08 +0000 Louise 112036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the brooch but i like the last one best, tied like a man would tie it but looser like you've done though i think it would be best without the necklace x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112026 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 19:30:28 +0000 Dashrashi 112026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute! I like it best with the brooch or the pearls. (I think the sweater's fine, too--but maybe scrunch it up a smidge if you think it's too long with the skirt?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112025 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 19:29:10 +0000 Tricia 112025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! The colors go well with the sweater. I like it best worn long, without the necklace, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-dhs-tie-does-this-look-stupid#post-112023 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 19:12:28 +0000 Queen Mum 112023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>here's a full length so you get an idea of the proportions. Sorry about the bad lighting. Alsol I realize this sweater isn't the *best* length for the skirt, but I'm dressed and I'm not changing that for today.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4201024602/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....201024602/</a></p> <p>here are some close up views of different options.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4200270767/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....otostream/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4201024672/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....otostream/</a></p> <p>here the tie is left longer- which in a full length view I don't think is the best, but I could play with the necklace to shorten it, or double it up...<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4201024820/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....otostream/</a></p> <p>what do you all think? fab or flop? please feel free to tell me if I look like a moron... </p>
