I also really like the pencil skirt outfit with the flats. I think the look is very current and fresh. I also think you look great in a lighter palette. I think as long as you stay with creams--brighter lights--that you won't be washed out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-challenge-week-2#post-1410209 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 04:36:07 +0000 Suz 1410209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad those pieces in #4 were misbehaving because I really like the look of the outfit on you. Also agree that straight legs work great on you. That tee in the last outfit is fun!</p> <p>&nbsp;It's an interesting experiment to do this silhouette challenge and it seems we're all learning from it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-challenge-week-2#post-1410122 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 00:18:47 +0000 Aida 1410122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like the experiment is working well for you! I adore #1 and #4 (too bad the items here didn't behave, boo) and #6/7 is super fun too. The below-the-knee length of the skirt in #2/3 is plenty current and I like the look with the loafers, it's a bit funkier and less classic looking than say ballet flats. If you are feeling too cut off in that pairing, do try those flats from #1 here; the "almost nude" color paired with the pointy toe should help a lot towards feeling lengthy. I bought rain boots this year for the first time, and am thinking I need a second pair too. Though I think we get a bit more rain than you do Wasn't it lovely to traipse around and not have to worry about your feet though?? I do love those light color palettes and think they work wonderfully for you; they'll bring more attention to your face/hair.</p> <p>Regarding the bootcuts, I think that if you could swap to pointy<br /> footwear (like the flats in #1) OR less classic flats (like those<br /> printed loafers in #2) you'll feel better; I also vote to save the<br /> sneakers for skinnies or straight legs. The straight legs do look<br /> fabulous on you (the pair in #1 is divine with the light colored, pointy<br /> flats).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-challenge-week-2#post-1410058 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 22:10:48 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1410058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Week two! <br />1 - Monday: edited version of Friday's look from <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silhouette-challenge" rel="nofollow">last week</a>, with different shoes. Pretty happy with this one. I was off button-front shirts for a while but now I'm really liking wearing them. </p> <p>2/3 - Tuesday: debombshelling a pencil skirt with knit top and cardigan. I liked this but am wondering if the below-knee skirt length isn't so current any more, especially with flats. </p> <p>4 - Wednesday: slouchy skinnies and a hip-length sweater. I think these proportions work (please correct me if you think I'm wrong) but the actual items were problematic; the pants are too short to stay tucked into booties and the sweater has developed a hole after only one washing (argh!).</p> <p>5 - Thursday: Stormageddon! Rainpocalypse! Down in the South Bay we didn't have any major flooding or power outages, but it was definitely rainy and windy. Figured I'd make the rain boots a feature since there was no getting away from them, with skinnies and a longer jacket. (The way this winter is going so far, I should diversify into mutiple pairs of rain boots.)</p> <p>6/7 - Friday: casual Friday with hedgehogs. I've really been drawn to these lighter color palettes recently, maybe because my hair is lighter? (Head chopped off in these b/c my hair wasn't dry yet.) I'm curious whether you think it works for me or if I need stronger contrast. </p> <p>I've found the 5 silhouettes a great way to get some variety in my dressing each week, and plan to continue, although i don't know if I'll keep taking and posting pics since my pictures seem to be getting worse and worse with the little amount of light we have right now. </p> <p>Looking at both weeks, I think the dresses and skirts work, and the straightlegs. Not sure about the longer tops, or the bootcuts which are looking quite out of style to my eye. </p> <p>As always, feedback including constructive criticism is welcome. </p> </p>
