You look sensational. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy/page/2#post-643234 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:58:45 +0000 cheryl 643234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great selection! I think they are all good. I think the seam messes things up on #7 but its not that bad. #1 and #3 are my favs and I love the color of #2. I think the shoes are a great neutral that you can do a lot with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy/page/2#post-641682 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 01:38:15 +0000 krishnidoux 641682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've already got great advice. Here are my personal impressions:</p> <p>My favourites of the lot are: #2, #7 and #10</p> <p>I am not a fan of the cobalt blue short sleeve one, although it fits you like a glove. It's just... it doesn't look as comfortable. It's a bit stiff, and it looks too much like a uniform. </p> <p>The turquoise version of the Mexx sleeveless tunic is not as nice as in black. The colour is too harsh in my view. </p> <p>You are so fit and beautiful, it's hard to find defaults in what you are wearing! It all looks good on you in the end. But oh, my, 3 and 7, so classy! </p> <p>The cropped pants in #10: they do look fine on the pic, however I understand it so much when pants don't roll the right way... yesterday I got a pair from Tommy Hilfiger and they're *almost* uncomfortable in that way. I haven't removed the tag yet... will post hopefully if my son is available for taking pics. But I so get what you mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy/page/2#post-641293 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 19:06:41 +0000 Meredith1953 641293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only one that didn't totally please me was #7. I like the color and print but it just made your torso look so dang long! Can you tuck that shirt in? Your kitty is so sweet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy/page/2#post-641090 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:20:08 +0000 lyn67 641090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Didn't read the comments, but love the nr. 1,2,3, 9, and 10. They are all oustandingly killers on you and keepers. Purple printed top (If you'll keep that too)will go better with skirts IMO. Kitty is so adorable.:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy/page/2#post-640952 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:45:02 +0000 texstyle 640952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No one really said anything about the cut of #7 - or maybe I missed it. For me the "boatneck" styling is what creates the unbalanced look - it creates a wide upper body look (even when you don't have a particularly wide upper body). All of the other tops have a v style, which looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640935 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:46:01 +0000 Suz 640935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, everyone. </p> <p>It's pretty interesting that my own instincts were more or less confirmed. Very helpful advice, too. </p> <p>I'm going to keep #1, #2, #3, and #10 and the white shorts. I may or may not have them tapered a bit; I'll inquire about the price. It might not be worth the cost to do it. Taking them up a bit might have a positive effect on the bottom width - I'll see about that, too. </p> <p>Returning all the other tops and the olive crop pants because they're just not right. </p> <p>Thank you all for your wisdom and considered opinions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640913 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 09:13:52 +0000 Mona 640913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these except the printed top. But because I am not an expert, I can't tell you exactly what it is that I dont like about them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640898 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 06:54:56 +0000 Kiwichik 640898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry if I'm repeating anything haven't read the other posts. I like them all except 7&amp;8 I think the proportions look off - it makes your body seem really long thereby shortening your legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640872 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:33:13 +0000 ManidipaM 640872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, first of all, you have to tell me about those awesome-looking sandals! FAB, fab, fab with your hair, sorta echoing its highlights and lowlights! Amazingly sturdy but elegant shape too... Mmm. Love!</p> <p>Okay, back to the tops! I'm with Una --- those sleeves on the cobalt (which is the loveliest color on you!) are too tight and short. They're not going to be comfy for moving around in, I fear. I had a top that looked and behaved very much like that, and it finally drove me batty enough to throw it away after a grand total of three wears --- I'm a hoarder by nature, but the pulling and constricting were insane; if you're less sensitive to that, it *might* work. If you can lop of the sleeves however, that's great! because the colour is divine on you.</p> <p>Everything else I love, including the violet pattern! Maybe with your fuschia pants or the jacket with the white shorts you're wearing here? And your white jeans too? And definitely with skirts since it seems to be length-adjustable. It's the only one for which I'd change shoes though. The Marks maybe? Or a slightly lighter sandal...</p> <p>The tunics are certainly more 'tops' but that's okay, as I think both colours are extremely flattering. (Yeah, I know --- but I think even the turquoise is lovely on you.) </p> <p>The denim shirt and purple top may be my favourites of this fab haul. I can't believe you sorted yourself out that fast in one outing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640821 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:56:15 +0000 Jonesy 640821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Aida's initial assessment. To my eye, the blue button down looks a smidge too small, like it's gapping a teeny bit at the waist buttons (or maybe all of that gathering is somehow pulling the placket apart). I wonder if that print knit would look better with a skirt, but I think somehow it just doesn't hold a candle to all of the woven, collared shirts it's in the line-up with, you know?</p> <p>Great haul! You really scored in the summer tops department! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640815 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:48:40 +0000 AJ 640815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like tops 2, 4 (with sleeves chopped off) and 10. I luv outfit 2 just the way you've styled it here.</p> <p>The white shorts look good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640784 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:51:36 +0000 Isis 640784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great haul! I like the shorts (they COULD be tapered more at the knee, but maybe not necessary). </p> <p>I love ALL your tops except for the cobalt (something is funny w/ the sleeves) and the print top (OK, but not great).</p> <p>The others are fab ESPECIALLY the BR denim shirt (perfect for cold nights in Bamf!)</p> <p>I like your shoes too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640764 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:23:12 +0000 sarah 640764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How great that you've found so many fab tops, Suz. The only I'm not feeling is 7/8. I really love that BR denim shirt on you! (That shirt SO did not fit me).</p> <p>I like these with those shoes, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640755 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:16:08 +0000 rae 640755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you chop the sleeves off of the cobalt one? It is really nice otherwise. </p> <p>I didn't even see the part about the white shorts before - I think I agree that a little tapering or maybe a rolled cuff would take them up a notch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640744 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:06:51 +0000 Jaime 640744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the denim shirt outfit on you (10)! I think I agree with the majority on the rest. The short sleeve blue top isn't quite right - although it does showcase your amazing posture and tiny waist! Same with the print top. Would like to see you in more tapered white shorts but actually sort of like these too and think they might work well with something tucked or something less fitted. Regardless, you are looking fit as a fiddle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640731 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:53:43 +0000 Vicki 640731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First things first! You've got GREAT posture and I need to stand up better and straighter! Now, the tops! What have you and Dianthus been up to? It's all good and I love these choices here. Some of my faves: #2 if the ultimate and this is your color, Suz. I also like 1, 10, and 3 and besides your posture, you have toned arms and look fab in sleeveless tops. I agree with Una that the sleeves in 4 seem a tad too short. Hope this helps, Suz. Love Rae's pic for 11 and I agree! ^_^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640709 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:38:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 640709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking fantastic Suz!</p> <p>Now to the clothing items: there is something wrong with those little tiny sleeves on the cobalt top in 4-5. They are just way to short for the top. I actually don't mind the patterned top - I don't love it but I don't hate it either. The tops in 1-3 are all fantastic, the denim shirt is fab and of course, Max is so darned handsome!</p> <p>I'm so new at shorts and clams I really can't offer anything useful here so just listen to the experts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640644 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:52:19 +0000 Anonymous 640644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some people can really rock the combo (like Rae and Aida) but not me either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640639 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:39:21 +0000 Suz 640639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No heels with shorts for me, Aida! I think you are right - they should go back. </p> <p>Or I should get an attitude adjustment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640635 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:35:46 +0000 Aida 640635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw that's too bad, that's a staple of mine :} A tapered, cropped pant with a funky shoe like those Fluevogs sounds delightfully retro to me. Do you wear heels with shorts? If both of those are a no-go, and you don't have other shoes to work with those pants, then I would vote return them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640633 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:34:29 +0000 Suz 640633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh. Claire, I am not entirely sure about those shorts. I totally sized up. The size down FIT, but it was snug like skinny jean, and that didn't feel right for the kind of fabric it is. So I just went loose instead. </p> <p>Agree with Aida they should probably be tapered but I am not sure it is worth the money to spend to get them done.</p> <p>On heels and tapered trousers: I will wear a bootie or boot with a heel, but only somewhat reluctantly; I think it makes my legs look cartoonish and I prefer not to. (I'll do it gladly with a wider pant, including a straight leg). I will gladly wear skinnies with a wedge heel sandal of about 2 inches - the wedge balances my muscular legs a bit (but this is not your problem, LOL!) </p> <p>But I just. can't. wear a heeled pump with shorts or a short skirt. On ME (not on anyone else, understand) it feels "tarty." And I shudder at the very idea. I cannot comfortably go out of the house like that. </p> <p>But go figure. I look at Rae's outfit today and I think it is STUNNING on her!!!! STUNNING!!! </p> <p>The thing is, I don't have her legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640632 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:33:42 +0000 Anonymous 640632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really? You have a thing against pumps and tapered pants? I thought I was the only one. Not that I can wear much of a heel anyway, but DD just got some floral pumps with a two inch heel and I tried them with my bright skinnies and I just thought, "No way is this me!" You wear a heeled boot with jeans though, right? What about a heeled sandal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640627 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:29:10 +0000 Anonymous 640627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz! What a great haul! I think they all have potential except the printed top. It's the print I'm not crazy about, and maybe that's what DH and DD were noticing. It looks kind of like a fancy gear running top or something because of the "cool" print. I actually like the cut of it, though. That is a favorite neckline of mine.</p> <p>The white, colored and denim shirts all look good to me. In fact, the colors you were able to find all look really good on you! What is it with the word tunic? Some manufacturers seem to think it only refers to the cut or collar of a top, and not the length! The shirt in #2 might look especially nice with a skirt because of the self belt/peplum effect going on.</p> <p>And you don't look like you've put in long days working at all, BTW. Okay. Where were we? The white shorts look good, as long as they're not supposed to fit tight like a skinny jean in the bum. I think return the olive ones since they don't sound like they're working for you. Nice work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640621 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:23:47 +0000 Suz 640621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very helpful - thank you. Aida - interesting point about the print maybe being better with a "flowy" look. </p> <p>I was thinking of my Fluevogs when I bought the clams, but I'm not EVER a pumps and trousers girl. Well, I would do it with my Long and Leans (where they cover the shoe) but I just don't feel comfortable in tapered trousers and pumps. Never have, never will. </p> <p>Freckles, you make some excellent points here. I should take another look in the light. </p> <p>Kyle, your perceptions are very similar to my own. I don't know why the darker colour tunic seems better. Some is definitely the light at the time of photos - everything is washed out. But even so.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640619 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:21:43 +0000 Freckles 640619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz I think the lighting in pic 9 is different than in the other pics and more of an unforgiving lighting. I'd try it again tomorrow to see what you think then again next week if you have time. It could also be just a tone too whatever that is hard to tell when separated from other clothes of a similar colour. Take some time to see.</p> <p>Agree with previous authors about top in pic 7 for the same reason.</p> <p>The clams in look good but hard to tell with cuffs. Would the knees bag out?</p> <p>As for top 4, not a fan but don't hate. It's just that tops 1 and 2 are so much more stunning on you and the denim shirt looks fab. This top, 4, doesn't come up to snuff in comparison.</p> <p>The white shorts look like they would be fine for everything and that first pair, newish aren't they, are stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640618 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:20:14 +0000 Suz 640618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah - I agree, Una, about that cobalt top. It's sort of a shame, really, because it's quite nice in other ways. And sleeves on a top can be a good thing. But when all is said and done, if I won't wear it (and it feels a wee bit "girly" to me, too) then why spend my money on it. Well, besides desperation, that is!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640617 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:19:56 +0000 Kyle 640617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1, 2, 3 and 10 would be my top picks. Something about the blue top and the purple is throwing me off. I also prefer top 1 over top 9. Is it the color, maybe? Hmmm. All shorts and sandals seem cute and functional and the clams in 10 don't really feel like you. Hope that helps a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640616 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:19:27 +0000 Aida 640616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The four tops you've decided to keep already (1-4) look good, but especially #2 and #3. Not a fan of the top in #4-6, I think it's the sleeves? Also not sold on the top in #7/8, I think the print would be better suited to a flowier type of top. The white shorts are OK, but I think I want to see them tapered even more to your knee. LOVE the denim shirt! Are the pants in #10 the same color as the olive Fluevogs you've been having trouble wearing? That could be a fun pairing. How do those look unrolled by the way? Where does the hem fall? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topped-up-some-kr---pic-heavy#post-640613 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:14:33 +0000 catgirl 640613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only one that bothers me is the cobalt top in 4 -5. The sleeves seem oddly proportioned (small?) to the rest of the blouse. I like the banded blouse top which looks like a Sweet Pea top and the colors are nice on you. It does emphasize your shoulders but is that a bad thing (says the IT)?</p> <p>I'm meh on the shorts. Not screaming fab, nothing wrong either. </p> <p>The first three two tops and #9 and the denim shirt look great to me. </p>
