Maybe a chunky, short necklace to add a pop of color? You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-and-new-boots#post-58433 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:57:04 +0000 Angie 58433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Cindy and welcome to the forum! </p> <p>You look utterly adorable. I love the boots and the voluminous tunic is sweet. I hope that this type of thing becomes everyday clothing for you. It’s casual and classy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-and-new-boots#post-58389 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:59:00 +0000 LoP 58389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second outfit with the boots look great. Maybe pulling the sweater to stay below the bust and securing it with a belt around the waist would make it easier to wear the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-and-new-boots#post-58054 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:58:09 +0000 CK 58054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Shana. The seam isn't supposed to be that high, but it's got such an open neckline that it keeps falling back on my shoulders (as in that picture). Of course, constantly tugging it down is not a good look either. It looks like my daughter might have a new sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-and-new-boots#post-58017 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 19:02:26 +0000 shana 58017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cindy, I like the tunic paired with the jeans tucked into the boots - it seems to be a good length for that look. It doesn't seem to work as well with the bootcuts and honestly, the empire seam cutting across the bust is never a good thing. I would ditch it for that reason alone and look for some tunics that are similar length. The boots look awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-and-new-boots#post-58009 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:45:54 +0000 CK 58009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here it is, my first outfit post. A little background - I have been a stay at home mom for the last ten years. Before that I worked for many years in the types of jobs where I wore power suits most days (complete with shoulder pads - I must have looked like a 5'2" linebacker). It was a relief to go back to my jeans and t-shirts after that, but one day I woke up and realized I was 45 and still buying most of my clothes at Old Navy. I thought it was time to step it up a bit, and luckily I found this site! My lifestyle is very casual as opposed to smart casual most of the time, but today my husband took me out to lunch, and this is what I wore. Uh, still some things from Old Navy in there. ;-)</p> <p>Gap boot cut jeans, Old Navy cashmere tunic, Gap camisole, black chunky heeled leather shoes (it's nasty rain/snow here today - I needed good traction), lava bead necklace:<br /> <a href="http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/cindy_ylf/100_1468.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i575.photobucket.com/al.....0_1468.jpg</a></p> <p>side view:<br /> <a href="http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/cindy_ylf/100_1469.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i575.photobucket.com/al.....0_1469.jpg</a></p> <p>Mostly I'm wondering if this top works. I think it makes me look too busty/emphasizes my broad shoulders, especially from the side. It's not a top I would buy today (post-YLF), because it's an empire and the line cuts across my bust at the wrong place. However, it's a really lovely color and of course, and I do love cashmere. If this is not good, what type of tunics would work better for my figure?</p> <p>Also, I got my new Seychelles riding boots from Zappos today! I won't really wear them till fall, but they were on sale and I've been looking for a pair for awhile. What do you think? Keep or no?</p> <p><a href="http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/cindy_ylf/100_1472.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i575.photobucket.com/al.....0_1472.jpg</a></p> <p>Worn with Old Navy gray skinny jeans. Please excuse the bunching - I didn't take time to fix them properly.</p> <p>Close-up view:<br /> <a href="http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/cindy_ylf/100_1475.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i575.photobucket.com/al.....0_1475.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks! </p>
