I’ve been wearing that vest with sweater dresses recently and think #1 can slide right n there. I’m trying to think of pants combos for it too. Today I have it on with pale pink pants, a black LS T, and the short black boots. It sounded good in theory, but I’m still not sure what I think of it in practice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2151026 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 17:02:58 +0000 SarahD8 2151026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing that 1 and 3 are the winners. It seems like 1 might work in similar outfit formulas as your embroidered vest (the kind of circle-shaped one with the shawl collar, I think from a local market)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150971 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 13:42:11 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2150971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lynne, this post is a rare moment of near-unanimity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150953 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 12:12:41 +0000 Lynne 2150953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the others, I like 1 and 3, and I can see #2 working as a pool cover up. To my eye #4 seems a bit big on you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150914 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 07:02:47 +0000 Bijou 2150914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3 are the winners. Have to agree that #4 just is not you and should go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150907 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 05:32:43 +0000 Jenni NZ 2150907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 best, then 3, then 2.<br /> 4 is a no, LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150859 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 00:17:48 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2150859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cardiff and LaPed, that sweater is what I have on right now—put it on right after taking the pix. Funny thing is, a couple years ago I nearly dumped it because I didn’t think it was flattering. I think I’m going to wear it to the to doctor’s tomorrow. I wonder if the sleeve shape is because it’s from the boys’ dept—it’s Bugle Boy. </p> <p>Joy, that’s funny about the aunties. Interesting that it looks like a good color for me on the screen, because I’m not so sure in real life. I think it can move on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150857 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 23:54:12 +0000 Anonymous 2150857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fan of #1 and #3. I can see #2 working as a pool cover up but is it long enough for that? #4 is a good color on you in the photo, but not a fan of the whitish cuffs and part by your neck. Also, it is not flattering for your figure. If you need it, remove the whitish pieces. They remind me of something some great aunties wore with a bib apron and full skirt to family picnics in the 1950’s. A jacket worn over it could work...maybe a denim jean jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150853 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 23:28:01 +0000 LaPed 2150853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 looks very "you" and also very 2020. If I had a cozy, colorful fair isle poncho-type-thingie, I'd probably wear it every day. I bet #3 would look great with midi skirts. I like the idea of oversized, patterned short-sleeve shirts for summer, but I think there are better ones out there than #2. The sleeves are kind of a funky shape.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150849 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 23:13:51 +0000 Cardiff girl 2150849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colours of #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150830 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 21:20:59 +0000 nemosmom 2150830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Carla said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150805 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 19:48:11 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2150805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150789 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 18:46:26 +0000 Sal 2150789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I agree - 1 and 3 are the keepers!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150776 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 18:20:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2150776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, ohh—flared skirts are a great idea! Scratching my head now re which one. If I paired it with the cord skirt near the end of that post, I’d have to wear a topper, which could negate the whole effect. Still thinking. </p> <p>Thanks Carla! 4 is out the door for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150774 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 18:15:34 +0000 Carla 2150774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep #1 and #3. &nbsp;Donate the other two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150773 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 18:08:40 +0000 Angie 2150773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another who likes #1 and #3.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 is great with flared skirts!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150761 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 17:28:15 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2150761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou thanks for looking at and commenting on all these posts! You’re right about #2. If I wear it, it’ll probably be open, as a pool cover-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150754 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 17:14:54 +0000 rachylou 2150754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I esp like 1 and 3, but they’re all nice. I’m not sure tho if 2 isn’t kinda too big and boxy to really want to wear... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-big-box%e2%80%94topstoppers#post-2150748 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 17:02:17 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2150748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had hoped to get back to our storage locker in Tampa long ago. My sister and a friend of mine recently hit it up to send us kitchen things, my son’s Lego, boots for me, and a bunch of clothes that mostly fit now. Yaaaaaaay</p> <p>Now I get to sort it all out to see what parts I actually want. Some items are clearly too dressy for this moment, but might be appropriate by the end of winter—I hope to get back to a life where I can wear the dressy dresses by then. Some items fit better than others. I don’t need to sort for that—as long as they’re in the ballpark, I’d ratherassess that in the morning as I’m getting dressed instead of assuming that my bod won’t change again—I’m sure it will. Going through the clothes, even more than the kitchen stuff, was a walk down memory lane. But I don’t need to be that for people I pass on the street. Even in an era of DYOT, some items just might not work. For the pants, especially, please help me decide whether they are something that fits in this year, and possibly make suggestions for items that seem particularly difficult. </p> <p>Note: halfway through taking the pix, I realized the dustpan and brush were in the background. Please ignore them. Also, I’m wearing the same base layer in all of these—my sparkly Uniqlo Heat Tech tights and a cami with built-in shelf bra. If it bothers you to see such things, it’s best you click on through to the next post. </p> <p>PS. I broke this into several posts, because it’s just too many pix otherwise. They all have the same text aside from the picture lists. </p> <p>1. Totally rectangular, apart from the sleeves. Like wearing a blankie. I have it on now, sitting on the porch.<br /> 2 Boy’s shirt. Idk if I’ll wear it next summer.<br /> 3. Navy cotton sleeveless blouse. Also 90s. Timeless? I believe I wore it with exactly these pants.<br /> 4. Oh no! Why?</p> <p>There’s also a bunch of summer stuff &amp; some scarves that I’m too lazy to photograph now. </p>
