It’s simple enough to add or remove one piece, but if that starts a cascade of other adjustments I have to make, I’m lost. That’s just not going to happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237323 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 11:55:35 +0000 Anonymous 2237323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all- I guess the situation isn't as dire as I remembered :)<br /> Exactly Rachy! Sometimes it's warmer, sometimes it's colder- topper on, topper off all day... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237292 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 04:35:38 +0000 Sally 2237292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the ones with the purple scoop neck top.&nbsp; I agree it looks better with the long cardigans and the scarfs but I also like it by itself.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237286 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 04:19:23 +0000 rachylou 2237286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good, the ALGO, but I get that it’s a fuss with so many pieces. *Sigh.* You should see me at work doing Mr Rogers… on and off with the coat, sweater and hat all day… lol! Argh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237214 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 20:12:59 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2237214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the high necklines looks, how about a fitted crewneck or mock T under something long &amp; flowing, like in the last couple pix here? Not tight—that’s uncomfortable!— but fitted enough to show your curves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237190 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 19:09:42 +0000 Suz 2237190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see the purple top as "too bare" on you (though I might be cold like that) and I love the versions with necklace and scarf!&nbsp;</p> <p>And you might be onto something with the colours.</p> <p>The other thing is that living in a predominantly hot and humid climate, your eye gets used to the absence of layers (since they are impractical much of the year). But in F/W, layers are the way to go from a practicality standpoint. Your eye may need some adjustment as the seasons transition?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237186 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 19:00:04 +0000 Anonymous 2237186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I'm going to do a lab with other necklines too- but high ones in winter, especially with a topper, make me feel like a big box on legs. They're fine in summer with bare arms. </p> <p>Was thinking I might feel more ok with layers if less colors per outfit- 2 instead of 3 +. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237149 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 16:40:48 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2237149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3&gt;2&gt;1. I like the long cardis in the last few looks.</p> <p>Crew necks &amp; mockTs make a way simpler, smoother look than scoopnecks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237146 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 16:14:37 +0000 Angie 2237146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with <b>Janet</b>! The looks with the scarf and necklace look best to my eye. Polished, punchy, and finished. </p> <p>Rest assured, it ALL works well though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237124 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 15:13:15 +0000 cat2 2237124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet. I think the third piece outfits look polished, not over the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237103 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 14:13:28 +0000 Liz 2237103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I have the same observation Janet does--nothing about these says ALGO or "so much fabric" to me. I'd wear the necklace and scarf versions with zero hesitation. In fact, I wear the long cardigan + scarf combo quite often in the fall. <br /></div><div>But if it feels bad for you . . . then there's your answer. Layers like this&nbsp; might just be something you don't want to wear and never will want to, and so you just look for tops that are warm enough or interesting enough not to need a topper. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237098 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 13:59:30 +0000 always trying 2237098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a fan of those scoop necklines although I have a few,&nbsp; Really like 5&nbsp; 6 and 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237097 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 13:56:19 +0000 Janet 2237097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What comes to my mind is that one person's ALGO is another person's "just right." I think the versions with the necklace and scarf look terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237094 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 13:28:04 +0000 Tanya 2237094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brown sweater looks good in all the iterations. As for the purple blouse, to my eye it does not look too bare in any version. I like it both with the necklace and the scarf. I actually quite like the whole outfit in #5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-1#post-2237085 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 12:33:29 +0000 Anonymous 2237085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the topper lab I promised.<br /> 1-3 Brown sweater on it's own has a neckline in my comfort zone. It's very plain, but super easy with toppers. Tops with moderate scoop like this, but less plain, would be winners all round.</p> <p>4-7 Purple deep scoop blouse. Sooo bare, even with a necklace. Works with topper (whole outfit bought together years ago) and feels covered enough. Add scarf- warmer, but wow thats ALGO, especially with a mask. Add coat...well maybe less chaotic looking than scarf plus sweater on their own? Soooo muuuch faaabric :/<br /> Is it spring yet? </p>
