But you have a great point -- time to start pulling out the lighter colors!</p> <p>Suz -- Great observation about the structure in the shoulders! I hadn't noticed that.</p> <p>Shannon -- You know what, I don't own a real camera, heh. Unfortunately the lighting in my room is not that great either. I will try to figure out some solution to get better pics!</p> <p>Angie -- Bootcuts are a great suggestion. I also have a pair of CoH Huttons with more of a flare; those might work!</p> <p>bj1111 -- Thanks!</p> <p>Una -- I remember the blouse on you Yeah, the legs on the pants are crazy wide.</p> <p>Claire -- It might be I just keep the pants for retro or costume parties ;)</p> <p>Jjsloane -- I am thinking that may be the case too!</p> <p>Aida -- Hehe, I am wearing almost 3" heels in this photo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tmgo-volume-over-volume-pattern-mixing#post-581240 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:45:51 +0000 Aida 581240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have worn this blouse over wide legs before, but it definitely needed a good bit of heel to balance out the wideness (I'm also petite). I think that might be the case here, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tmgo-volume-over-volume-pattern-mixing#post-581175 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:48:37 +0000 Jjsloane 581175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blouse a lot, but am not yet into this full over full and I think the pants overwhelm you a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tmgo-volume-over-volume-pattern-mixing#post-581170 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:43:24 +0000 Anonymous 581170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of this, but defer to Angie. Maybe an alteration would help the trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tmgo-volume-over-volume-pattern-mixing#post-581007 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:38:47 +0000 catgirl 581007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blouse of course, I have it too. I think the pants need some tapering or something since you are small, like me. Or you need monster heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tmgo-volume-over-volume-pattern-mixing#post-580936 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:02:14 +0000 bj1111 580936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think i really like it! as a petite, i'm not fond of volume on volume, but i think i like your iteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tmgo-volume-over-volume-pattern-mixing#post-580835 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:06:36 +0000 Angie 580835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure, Cathy. The wide leg trousers look VERY wide on super petite you in the photos. I'm thinking bootcuts would look better. Still voluminous, but a little more structured :)</p> <p>LOVE that blouse and the low contrasting bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tmgo-volume-over-volume-pattern-mixing#post-580834 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:06:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 580834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works Cciele - is there anyway to make your pictures a little brighter? I'd love to be able to see more of your fab details in your WIW posts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tmgo-volume-over-volume-pattern-mixing#post-580833 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:02:53 +0000 Suz 580833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cool. I like the way the blouse fits so nicely at the shoulder; it gives a bit of structure to the flowy look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tmgo-volume-over-volume-pattern-mixing#post-580830 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:57:41 +0000 Claudia 580830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't make out the pattern on the pants, but know this blouse. I like this silhouette and would personally wear this myself. I think it looks good on you, but it is dark and a lot of fabric for what they are showing for spring and summer. You might want to save this for fall and winter. But I really do like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tmgo-volume-over-volume-pattern-mixing#post-580822 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:49:47 +0000 cciele 580822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I was going through my closet and found a old pair of flowy palazzo like pants. Remembering Angie's posts about soft bottoms, volume on volume, and pattern mixing, I thought I would try a crazy combo.</p> <p>It's the Hinge peacock feather blouse on top and wide-leg pants with thin dark red and black stripes on bottom. What do you think ? Are the pants workable at all?</p> <p>Honestly, I won't be offended if you don't like it. Just trying something out of normal-I don't normally wear so much volume because I am short and rarely wear any patterns. </p>
