But you are right #3 is particularly flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269999 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 04:37:15 +0000 kellygirl 1269999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for 1 &amp;4! I love these theme and variations! So inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269992 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 04:34:04 +0000 Beth Ann 1269992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How interesting!&nbsp; I thought you'd all love #3 the best!&nbsp; Also interesting to learn that you weren't dismissing #1 as just too bulky for me!&nbsp; </p> <p>As for #3 -- the structure in the jacket is such an important element for me.&nbsp; And Aimee -- this was last year, so I was, technically, younger, (hee)! &nbsp; I think it's my hair, though, since I'm wearing it down and I think I'd just had a cut (which I need SO badly now).&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269772 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 00:30:30 +0000 Aida 1269772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun experiment Beth Ann! I love #4, it's superb. #1 comes in next; the volume there looks very current. Not all to sure what it is about #2 that's not right, but at the very least the charcoal heathering feels a bit off with the graphic chevron. Hm and maybe that the neckline doesn't echo the chevron stripes at the same angle. #3 is nice, rather classic. I'd stick to #1 and #4 this season :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269393 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 17:37:21 +0000 ameelizabeth 1269393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #4 goes far and beyond the others...love that look! For some reason, I find it makes you look younger than the rest of the photos too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269336 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 16:54:05 +0000 cheryl 1269336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I love nr 4 with a denim jacket, too. In fact, all tops are coordinating to it&nbsp; quite well! YLF!!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269108 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:35:06 +0000 Jaime 1269108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is also #1 and I love #4 also. And like #2 least. I think the skirt looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269104 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:31:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1269104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great skirt Beth Ann - so perfect and flowy for the summer. And before I continue, those Crocs are FAB!!! Yay for happy feet :)</p> <p>I like #1 because of the modern silhouette, #3 because of the more fitted top contrasting with the flowy skirt and #4 just 'cause it's great. I'm not crazy about #2 due to the color of the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269077 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:38:25 +0000 bella 1269077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding? #1 is the most trendy and flattering, imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269070 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:14:02 +0000 Suz 1269070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket topper, too. And what a great skirt for travelling! #1 is my fave, I think. It looks divine with the new sandals. &nbsp;;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269023 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:56:10 +0000 Pat_P 1269023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 and #4! I think the volume in #1 is actually quite flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269015 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:40:23 +0000 Anonymous 1269015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, beautiful, all of them. I love the length of the skirt&nbsp; on you and your black sandals are a lovely finishing touch. Love the denim jacket as a topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1269005 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:27:33 +0000 kkards 1269005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>actually number #4 is my fav. i like the banding of the skirt, i think it defines your waist and shows off your figure. imo all the others work as well, perfect for a hot summer day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1268997 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:18:44 +0000 crutcher 1268997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea...I like each of your looks but especially 4..The jacket just sets off the skirt... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-and-variations-ii#post-1268946 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 05:20:01 +0000 Beth Ann 1268946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes, when I'm playing with a wardrobe item, I'll just match it with several untried items before I get dressed for the day, or as I undress for the evening.&nbsp; This skirt is actually convertible to a bandeau dress.&nbsp; I should have sized down, so, unfortunately, the extra fabric sort of shows around my middle.&nbsp; When I go visit my folks this weekend, I'll take advantage of my mom's cool little sewing room to cut off the top (I won't wear a strapless dress, anyway) and replace it with a wide black elastic band or a regular casing waistband.</p> <p>I usually wear this with a more fitted black tee or a jewel toned tee topped with my denim jacket.&nbsp; I wanted to style it for a hot day MOTG.&nbsp; Yep.&nbsp; Those are my Crocs.&nbsp; They are amazing -- like wearing slippers.</p> <p>1.&nbsp; <b>Wrap front georgette top with a small collar:</b>&nbsp; This top is lightweight and fluid, but the volume on top of long volume I feel is not working well.&nbsp; Not quite flattering enough?</p> <p>2.&nbsp; <b>Heathered grey knit top with banded bottom:</b>&nbsp; I loved this with slim pants or a pencil, layered under a cardi or jacket.&nbsp; It has a draped neckline that might not be the best on me.&nbsp; Actually, grey isn't the best, but dark grey works better than lighter tones.&nbsp; Still too much volume without enough structure?</p> <p>3.&nbsp; <b>Target Merona bateau neck tee.&nbsp; </b>AH!&nbsp; I feel like Ornella -- long and vaguely Continental!&nbsp; Perhaps this is just visual confirmation that I don't do well with true boho looks.&nbsp; When I rework the waistband of the skirt, it will lay in a more flattering way on the midsection.&nbsp; I wore this to teach from home and to run errands.&nbsp; </p> <p>4.&nbsp; My "Ravinia Festival" outfit from last summer.&nbsp; I like the jacket topper!&nbsp; You can see that I folded down the top.&nbsp; I'm not wild on the horizonal stripes cross my belly! </p>
