In 3, I find the sweater’s texture too ‘heavy’ for the skirt and jacket. I also find the leather jacket too heavy visually. The polka dot dress feels a little overwhelming to me as well… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207253 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 13:58:55 +0000 anchie 2207253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irina - I am having second thoughts about motto for summer dressing - it is rather thick, like fake leather jacket, and not very breathable, I used to wear it more in transnational weather. I will try your idea in the fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207248 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 13:48:37 +0000 anchie 2207248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After thinking more about it, the poor fit of white and yellow blazer are creating a big hole, not just in my skirts and dresses outfits but also in pants outfits. They are essentials for my style. I would probably need to find replacement sooner than later.<br /> cat2 - I need a topper for polka dot dress (it is navy, not black) because my office is frigid. I wear it without the topper when I am not in AC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207243 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 13:39:00 +0000 cat2 2207243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would spring for the new yellow jacket and a new short white or cream jacket and then see where you are. I think the black polka dot dress could be worn without a topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207239 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 13:30:33 +0000 Irina 2207239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first two outfits - longer jackets work well and the fit looks current to me. I would suggest you try dress + motto jacket combo with a &nbsp;substantial shoe like snickers or loafers. It might balance the roomier fit of the motto, this looks promising and I like the colors together. Try to push the sleeves up a bit, too.<br />Some of the blazers are obviously too big. Instead of paying for alterations (not a simple thing on a lined blazer), maybe you need to purchase a new one in your size to replace your cream blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207235 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 13:23:33 +0000 Angie 2207235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Slim Cat</b> said.</p> <p>In #1, try a yellow or white top under the lemon blazer.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is smashing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207232 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 13:19:53 +0000 aloha emily 2207232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of the outfits in your original post! I think the blazers look on-trend in size and fit, and you look gloriously cheerful and energetic in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207225 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 12:28:52 +0000 Synne 2207225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you can get the jackets tailored, becouse the cut and colour is just perfect on you! Agree with Fashintern that these seldom come by! Don't throw them away! (And you look great!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207224 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 12:26:42 +0000 anchie 2207224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina - I did try navy blazer over dresses but proportions seemed wrong to my eye. I didn’t even bother to take photo. I did plan number of outfits arround yellow and white blazer, without them my options are getting limited, but you are right- I have maybe 6 weeks left of office summer dressing, because I am taking 4 weeks off, so I will manage. I can always fall back to wearing pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207221 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 12:13:31 +0000 Katerina 2207221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first two outfits are perfect - you look stunning in them. Also the polka dot dress and the tonal lime outfit are really nice. Agree with others that the bright yellow jacket and the white one are unfortunately too big. And Bijou is right, the moto will be good with trousers… You have shown so beautiful outfits lately with the outfit of the month pieces. Have you tried the navy blazer with the white buttons over the dresses? Or is it not summery enough? I understand it’s difficult to manage with a small wardrobe if you are used to a lot of choices. Maybe some comfort is that it is already July and in September you could perhaps wear a bit more autumn styles - of course if the weather allows. I am one of the people who kind of struggles with summer dressing, so I usually comfort myself with that the summer is rather short here anyway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207210 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 10:58:47 +0000 anchie 2207210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI - yes, I can wear it if I figure out the topper. I already had an in person meeting yesterday and it was little nerve wracking. Most people at work are vaccinated with Johnson&amp;Johnson, but I decided to take Moderna and haven’t been fully vaccinated yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207207 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 10:54:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2207207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting about the 18 months. I’ve been wondering myself if my (intentional) weight loss will be permanent, and when I can decide that it is. I’m going to keep an eye on this post to see what other comments there are. </p> <p>Can you wear any of your recent casual purchases, like the denim skirt or polo dress, to work on Fridays? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207205 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 09:55:54 +0000 anchie 2207205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni - yes, my size hasn’t changed in the last 18 months or so. I am still trying to assess how many good fitting items I own, since I haven’t worn my office wardrobe in about the same period since my weight stabilized. Unless I go on a big shopping sprees, it will take me at least 2 more years to replace everything that doesn’t fit. So it seems that my wardrobe is on the small size at the moment. I will probably have to repeat outfits more often than I am used to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207204 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 09:46:48 +0000 Jenni NZ 2207204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really understand your disappointment Anchie with the items that are too big now like the beautiful bright yellow blazer. I don’t know what to say.<br /> I feel you may just have to manage with less for a bit. It seems like your weight has stabilised now?- but then you did get quite stressed previously with trying to get lots of stuff in your new size.<br /> I would try to relax into it. I have done that, since my wardrobe is reasonably large. Like trying to replace the cobalt boots I kept looking, but not obsessively, just every now and then, until after a few months some turned up.<br /> I don’t think you would ever have nothing to wear to the office? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207203 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 09:39:30 +0000 anchie 2207203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI - I am not sure that I like the shape of the matching blazer, it is rather long and cut straight. So it will not work in the same outfits unfortunately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207201 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 09:34:20 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2207201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t think blazers in that color come around often—you might want to get the one that matches the pants to swap in wherever you’ve used this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207199 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 09:24:59 +0000 anchie 2207199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI - yes, first in original is same as second in a post with motto. That is the one of the newest and smallest jackets I own. Bright yellow blazer is not part of the yellow suit, even though yellows are the same, fabric is different. I saw blazer that matches my new pants, but decided not to order because I thought I already have a yellow blazer. And I don’t think I would wear it as suit anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207196 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 09:17:03 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2207196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the first one in the original post is the same as the second one in the post with the moto? I like that one in both pictures, think it is the best one here. But the second pic in the original post—the orange blazer—is the best outfit.<br /> The polka dot dress and patterned skirt both look good and seem to fit well. The cream/white moto is big, but I agree with Bijou that an oversized moto is a good look with jeans and similar. Is the bright yellow blazer (not the lime/yellow one) part of the same suit as the pants you’ve posted recently? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207191 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 07:48:15 +0000 Bijou 2207191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Slim Cat and Jenni. Your two smaller jackets look great. The white moto is likely to look intentionally oversized with jeans and trousers. You look amazing in the polka dot dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207190 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 07:20:24 +0000 anchie 2207190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>slim cat - perils of the online communication:) It is so easy to misunderstand the comments, but also photos can be misleading especially about fit and color, so just wanted to clarify. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207189 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 06:55:25 +0000 slim cat 2207189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've noticed that there are two "yellow" blazers - the smaller one in lime ( almost pale yellow on my monitor ) is great on you . The yellow blazer in #3 and 4 is obviously way too big &nbsp;;) .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207188 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 06:14:28 +0000 anchie 2207188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>slim cat - LOL lime and yellow are 2 different blazers. Lime is size 2, yellow size 6. Lime is also linen and double breasted while yellow is not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207187 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 06:11:47 +0000 slim cat 2207187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that yellow/lime blazer still works in #1 outfit - like it over yellow/lime dress as well. <br />The white blazer does look too big to my eye.<br />The red one is fabulous on you - great look with patterned skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207178 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 05:24:03 +0000 anchie 2207178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni - I am fine with smaller numbers if everything would fit me. But it seems that I have more ill fitting items than I thought. I haven’t worn much of it for a long time and that I am finally trying on, I am getting disappointed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207177 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 05:20:25 +0000 anchie 2207177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Motto also seems too big? How about lime over lime? Too much? I know, dress needs ironing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207176 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 05:17:52 +0000 Jenni NZ 2207176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think pic 2 in the first set absolutely works. Sorry but think I agree that the bright yellow blazer is now looking rather big on you. And maybe the cream one too, though that is less obvious.<br /> How are you doing with the smaller number of clothes on your spreadsheets that you decided on some time ago? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207174 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 05:04:31 +0000 anchie 2207174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t think this is working either. See how much wider I look in a blazer. Is this one also too big? This is my only light neutral summer blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-skirt-outfits#post-2207171 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 04:50:54 +0000 anchie 2207171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apologies for being a forum hog. It seems that I am not so ready for going back to the office wardrobe wise. I haven’t shop much for office wear over the pandemic and last time I was in office full time in summer was in 2019 when I was a little bigger. So some items that I thought would work in my head, I am not so sure after trying on. I am especially disappointed that my yellow blazer seems too big. It was a fiftieth birthday present just 2 years ago. What do you think, does any of this work? </p>
