And ha re: flappy wings :)<br /> Yes to monochromatic and low contrast for me these days Angie! Lots of black, brown, beige, rust, and olive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-2#post-2237707 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 17:50:00 +0000 Angie 2237707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the wrap. KILLER colour on you!&nbsp;</p> <p><i>"Wrapped- yes but would get in the way when I type"&nbsp;</i></p> <p>....it won't if you tuck it under your arms in a certain way. I do this frequently!&nbsp;</p> <p>The black pants with those shoes are a lovely quiet and classic statement. In fact, all these looks are!&nbsp;</p> <p>(#5 - I think it's the angle of the camera making your top half look wider by the way. That said, low contrast creates vertical integrity).</p> <p>Sounds like you're preferring low contrast, and monochromatic looks on this leg of your style journey. Listen to those feelings and milk it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-2#post-2237695 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 17:30:00 +0000 rachylou 2237695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shawls are one of those that I’m on again / off again about… lol, I guess maybe literally. Sometimes they offer the perfect amount of warmth. Sometimes they’re just flappy wings. I don’t try to make them a part of outfits anymore. They’re sort of a blanket that lives on a chair just in case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-2#post-2237638 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 14:56:27 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2237638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is an abbreviation 1 word or 3? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-2#post-2237632 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 14:37:21 +0000 Synne 2237632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fav is the wrap top!

I thought that might give me more of the bare arm look that I'm used to.<br /> The snake sweater is lighter than skintone overall, but the print has darker tan and taupe so it's a one off.</p> <p>Off to another workday filled with joy, laughter, and feeling valued.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-2#post-2237612 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 12:37:12 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2237612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it help if top or topper are close to skin-tone? (Genuine question—I have no experience with scoop necks in cooler weather). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-2#post-2237599 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 12:14:26 +0000 Anonymous 2237599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly! Then it sort of reverts back to my summer/non topper formula- instead of introducing a 3rd color.</p> <p>That said....matching topper and pants + contrasting top or matching top and pants + contrasting topper works too (if the necklines don't compete).<br /> I think I'm learning </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-2#post-2237597 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 12:08:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2237597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A matching topper would also reduce the number of color blocks clamoring for attention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-2#post-2237596 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 12:06:41 +0000 Anonymous 2237596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It may be smoother, but I just feel very boxy with high neckline + sleeves, because of my wide chest and shoulders. I think having a matching topper gets around that, plus it just looks less cluttery in general. Kind of a twinset! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-2#post-2237595 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 12:01:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2237595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that crew top. Just fitted enough to show your curves, not so much as to be inappropriate for work/daytime/anything outside the club It’s good with a cardi too, but I agree with you on 3&amp;4–all that fabric flopping around would bug me. I wonder if you’d like the look of 5 better if you fasten a button on the blazer to give the top more of a V shape instead of parallel lines. </p> <p>On the photos, the upload only takes the current version, not the full file with all editing, etc. If you put a black dot or an emoji over the logo, no one could undo that editing to see the company name. </p> <p>The 3 (or 4) color blocks on your décolletage—cami, wrap top, and skin (+ blazer)—in the last 3 pix show what I meant about mock Ts and crew necks giving a “smoother” look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-lab-2#post-2237593 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 11:49:49 +0000 Anonymous 2237593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On to crew necks and wrap tops....<br /> 1. Crew neck alone- not problematic. I think the print goes a long way in not making me feel too square.<br /> 2. With a matching cardi-happy with this version.<br /> 3. Wrapped- yes but would get in the way when I type.<br /> 4. Cardi + wrap- a whole lotta fabric going on.<br /> 5. With blazer- top half feeling wide. A longer, low contrast blazer may be ok.</p> <p>I actually ended up wearing this with my black company vest- not shown due to logo. I liked that solution, cause it drew the eye in and not to my wide shoulders. Think I want to use vests more often if I wear crewneck tops in winter.</p> <p>6. Wrap sweater with brown tank underlayer for modesty. I do somewhere have a teal tank top to go under it, which would make layering look less chaotic. I also could just stitch the neckline higher, which I usually do with wraps.<br /> 7. With matching cardi- yes! Warmth without the chaos!<br /> 8. With blazer- too much going on at the neckline for me.<br /> To be continued.... </p>
