I think the spaghetti straps and cut totally work on you! Your neckline/shoulders look beautifully elegant! I like it unbelted, and also with the vintage belt you posted with it. I also really love the red top! The color suits you perfectly, and the shape is great too. People will stare at you in this top :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-351395 Tue, 17 May 2011 16:16:04 +0000 catgirl 351395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving your HAIR! </p> <p>I love the red blouse, and I am not normally a PB fan. The color is divine on you. I also like the leopard dress. I get why not everyone is a fan, because while it's not surrendering your waist, it has a retro/vintage shape that our eyes don't usually see - but with the skinnny belt it is fun and funky. Phew, that was a mouthful.</p> <p>Did I mention that I love your hair? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-351299 Tue, 17 May 2011 13:05:00 +0000 bella 351299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new hair! So chic! GEt that PB blouse, it's divine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-351295 Tue, 17 May 2011 12:54:38 +0000 yublocka 351295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen thanks for your compliment on the haircut. Getting it chopped off made me realise how shaggy and overgrown it was. Vowing not to leave it 6 months before the next one!! Why are PB's no good for you? I'm going to try this one again with pants on and see how it goes I think.</p> <p>Sharon what kind of heels would you wear with the dress? I only own a couple of pairs and can't picture either of them working with it. I am heels-challenged though!</p> <p>Thanks Joha &amp; Lisa. But to achieve #7 I also need to get the blazer....*more enabling*</p> <p>Aida I didnt try a size down from this one, although this is a size down what from I normally wear at this store. I will experiment though if the dress is still in stores in 2 days time when I get there!! You don't think the semi-capped sleeves here are boradening my arms? Still undecided about this item clearly!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-351077 Tue, 17 May 2011 00:56:24 +0000 Aida 351077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress and its vintage appeal (especially with the skinny belt!). Did you try a size down as well? Just to be sure that the fit is loose but not TOO loose (can't tell from the photos, you can judge that for yourself ). The red blouse is stunning, and I see nothing wrong with the sleeves; I think most people don't wear cap sleeves because it emphasizes their arms OR broadens the shoulders out of proportion. GREAT hair style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350893 Mon, 16 May 2011 17:53:26 +0000 Lisa 350893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress with the skinny belt and that red blouse is divine on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350844 Mon, 16 May 2011 16:12:58 +0000 Joha 350844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should definitly get the dress. to me it looks like its ment for you and the combination in pic7 is just perfect. Super-Stylish and wearable even when it gets a bit colder. This dress is just great. imho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350736 Mon, 16 May 2011 09:29:37 +0000 Sharon 350736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, love the blouse and the dress. I agree with Karen - a small heel would look great with the dress.<br /> You look so beautiful in red, and the dress is such a feminine look- just gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350718 Mon, 16 May 2011 06:51:26 +0000 puffenstuff 350718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh Tam I love your hair - I'm so curl envious! Loving the dress too, I know you're not a heel wearer but it would look super cute with some black mary-janes. You could always chop the top off the dress and make it into a skirt, might be a bit easier to style?</p> <p>I really like the red blouse too, PB's are no good on me so I'll live dangerously through you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350712 Mon, 16 May 2011 06:14:30 +0000 yublocka 350712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I may just wander back into Portmans later on this week and see what happens. Knowing my luck both items will be sold out already. Only one way to find out though. The dress is so different from my usual style, but honestly I'm getting a bit tired of just wearing skinnies and a tunic or cardie, so something needs a shakeup!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350618 Mon, 16 May 2011 02:16:58 +0000 Angie 350618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oooh!!!! Loving the vintage belt on the vintage dress. GO FOR IT. </p> <p>(Don't mean to shout. I am passionate). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350613 Mon, 16 May 2011 02:11:18 +0000 sarah 350613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress is cool, but I'm wondering if you need the next size down? It looks a bit big for you. But maybe that's the style?</p> <p>I'm not wild about the sleeves on the red blouse, and I agree with you that the jacket is too small. But I agree with Sara that your hair is GREAT! Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350610 Mon, 16 May 2011 02:09:48 +0000 rae 350610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whew, give me a few seconds to recover from your lovely red boots!! </p> <p>Okay, here I am... I actually really like both the dress and the top on you. What don't you like about the sleeves? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350584 Mon, 16 May 2011 01:44:28 +0000 Mellllls 350584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the red dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350582 Mon, 16 May 2011 01:42:11 +0000 MNsara 350582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my - I love your hair! You look so adorable and I love your own tunic dress with the tights, boots, sweater, and scarf! </p> <p>Now for the new clothes - I agree on the fun vintage vibe of the midi. Does the fabric have enough body to wear layered in the winter? I like the slimmer belt better than the first one.</p> <p>Red blouse is beautiful on you. Yes, the sleeves are a bit in-between, but that might make it more interesting with pencil skirt or plain pants. . .?</p> <p>I think that blzer looks good on you, but I missed the earlier thread, so I guess it's a moot point :-\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350548 Mon, 16 May 2011 01:14:42 +0000 annagybe 350548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually with that particular skinny belt it looks even more vintage like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350547 Mon, 16 May 2011 01:11:30 +0000 yublocka 350547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the feedback!! </p> <p>I'm surprised the red blouse is getting so many positive reviews. Of course I love the colour and the PB, but the sleeves are partway between sleeveless and cap sleeves - I thought that was frowned upon? And I don't really know what to make of the elasticated waist. I think I need to try it on with pants rather than stockings only!</p> <p>As for the dress, I know that spagetti straps dont really work for my frame, and neither does the elasticated waist, but I do love something about the vintagey deliciousness of it (as Angie so sagely puts it). I actually did try it on with a skinny belt too, but think I preferred the larger one. What do you think? I like the idea of wearing this dress through winter, layered as pictured with a blazer/cardie and boots (that aren't red). Appeals to the boho in me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350300 Sun, 15 May 2011 16:56:03 +0000 Angie 350300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also meant to say that the dress is so vintage-y delicious!! It looks great as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350293 Sun, 15 May 2011 16:41:29 +0000 Inge 350293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please do get that red blouse, Tam, the colour is gorgeous!! I really love that black blazer with the strong shoulder line on you too, I think it might be worth tracking down the larger size (or a similar blazer). And I think the dress really suits you too (both as is and with the blazer). I'm not loving the wide belt with it so much, have you tried a thinner belt?</p> <p>Your hair looks amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350290 Sun, 15 May 2011 16:35:30 +0000 Angie 350290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER all round!!!</p> <p>I LOVE the midi dress!!! I think it's very flattering. (Such a *spanner* I am sometimes). Try a skinny belt. </p> <p>Wooohooo!! Very excited!! </p> <p>(Love your hair short too, Tam). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350284 Sun, 15 May 2011 16:18:37 +0000 Kari 350284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please keep the red blouse!<br /> If the blazer is totally sold out in your size, I really don't think it should be *too* difficult to find a similar basic black blazer with strong shoulders. I do think it's worth looking around to see if there is a size 14 available since you like this one. It looks great worn open with your dress.<br /> I agree with you that the cut of the midi dress isn't the best - in my opinion, drop waisted styles are very tricky. I do like the way you paired it in #7 - belted and under the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350283 Sun, 15 May 2011 16:16:27 +0000 ButterflyLady 350283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red blouse is stunning on you. I don't think the leopard dress does your figure any favours - I think it's something to do with the strappy top, rather than the shape of the dress. But I will admit I know very little about such things (I am still learning!), so hopefully others will be along soon to help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350282 Sun, 15 May 2011 16:13:18 +0000 Maya 350282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm too biased to offer any practical advice on the midi dress, but the red blouse is just stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trends-leopardsunraymidi-3-in-one-and-red-pb-blouse#post-350277 Sun, 15 May 2011 15:50:40 +0000 yublocka 350277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pics 1-2...So I went back to Portmans to try on the blazer that I posted prevously. Agree the size 12 is def. too small. Unsure whether I can be bothered tracking down one of the few 14s left.</p> <p>Pics 3-7...A mere 2 days after being instore previously, I spotted 2 new items that caught my eye. Firstly a dress that is not only a midi, also sunray pleated, also leopard print. How many trends can combine in one item!!! I tried this one on more of out curiousity than anything else as I knew the elasticised waist, spagetti straps and mid-length skirt spelled disaster for my apple shape. I like it when belted and layered, but def. would not wear it alone. What do you think?</p> <p>Pics 8-10...I also spied a red PB blouse! Unfortunately the sleeves are a bit weird. And the waist is elasticised. Its pictured here in 2 sizes (pic 10 is the smaller size). Please excuse the holey tights I am trying on with this top - I was too lazy to change and find a pair of suitable pants. Is the lovely colour clouding my judgement on the wearability of this top, especially given I wear skinnies 90% of the time?</p> <p>Pic 11...And lastly a bonus WIW that day. Loving my haircut from the day before, and still loving the red and purple combination with my purple Halogen bf cardi!!</p> <p>Feedback on the shopping items greatly appreciated.....both are outside my usual style so I honestly don't know what to think about them!</p> <p>xx tam </p>
