And the gold foil T-shirt is just lovely. Definitely pass on the tunic, too much work to make it work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982909 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 15:39:56 +0000 Chris987 1982909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>shiny!</b>&nbsp;The leopard cardigan has no buttons, and it's too bulky to belt even if I liked wearing belts, which I do not.&nbsp; Good questions about how to wear the leopard sweater, definitely with jeans and would try it with a dress or skirt. It is a heavy cotton blend so definitely warm enough although it's not a super soft fabric so I'd not call it "cozy".&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982906 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 15:18:07 +0000 shiny 1982906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vince, foil top, and coated jeans are keepers.&nbsp;</p> <p>I rather like the leopard cardigan on you and the shoulders aren't bothering me. How does it look buttoned at the waist? Would you consider belting it? Would you wear it over a dress? Is it warm and cozy? How does it look with jeans?&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I'd pass on the tunic as it sounds like it needs major surgery. There are so many turtlenecks available right now I should think you could easily find one in petites that fits the way you wanted it to fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982903 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 15:14:23 +0000 Chris987 1982903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>momo.</b> </p> <p><b>RobinF</b> nodding along with on length issues with tunics. <br /><b><br />Janet,</b> totally with you on tunics being difficult. Its' fascinating, you are at least 6" taller than me, yet we have similar body shapes, fit issues and choices in what is flattering. With me it's thighs, not hips, but close enough </p> <p><b>kkards</b> thanks, and this will be the second time shoulder pads have been recommended to me lately on YLF. I need to make a trip to the fabric store and get some! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982872 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 14:20:08 +0000 kkards 1982872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>another one who is going to disagree with you re the lepard cardi...i like it a lot....Re Suz's call out, maybe try adding a really small shoulder pad&nbsp;<br />i'd return the free people, IMO it feels like there is more that you don't like, or would have to alter to make it something you like.<br />i love the foil printed tee from Anthro, and it looks like it fits really well. and another vote for the coated jeans.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982868 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 14:17:19 +0000 Janet 1982868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sparkly top and the jeans are totally fab.&nbsp;</p> <p>I find tunics very difficult, so I understand what you mean. I also have a hard time with anything slit up the middle of the back at the hip area, because it never falls straight and the resulting lines emphasize the width of my hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982863 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 14:07:46 +0000 RobinF 1982863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the leopard cardigan on you. The length looks good and I love it with the jeans, which look like a great fit. I agree with you about the tunic. I have that problem with tunics, they often are too long to be a top but too short to be a dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982861 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 13:57:29 +0000 Momo 1982861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at you rocking the coated jeans ! Love then on you !! Very cool </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982835 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 12:02:40 +0000 Chris987 1982835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>wise shopper, bj111, </b>and<b> taylor! </b></p> </p> <p><b>Suz</b> you make a good point about the leopard sweater..it's really the too-big shoulders are the issue,&nbsp;but I may just wear it anyway. Love that you called the other sweater color "buttercup"! Vince calls in "ginseng" but I like your name better! </p> <p>I still need to decide what I'm going to do about the tunic thing. The slit in the back goes up to just around the waist, so it has a "breezy" feel which I don't particularly want this time of year, but the bigger issue is that it sort of showcases my butt and upper thighs in the back which I think looks really odd. It's made in such a way that I could close it up pretty easily if I wanted to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982727 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 00:59:06 +0000 Suz 1982727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say that I don't entirely agree with your negative assessment of the leopard print. I think the pattern and the length are good, but it is something to do with the neckline shape -- it might work better on a squarer shoulder line.&nbsp;</p> <p>The sparkly top is fantastic -- what a great piece! And the buttercup sweater is also really cool.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LOVE</b> the coated jeans!! They look amazing. And I also like the tunic hemmed to your preferred lengthl The slit in back would add something interesting, I'd think, though I guess you'd have to wear a cami under it.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982726 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 00:51:27 +0000 taylor 1982726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the coated jeans , sparkley top and buttery yellow cardigan ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982722 Sat, 15 Dec 2018 00:38:28 +0000 bj1111 1982722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris, 5/6 are outstanding and covetable looks-my fave of the set. Also like to subtle tone on tone of the leopard print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982644 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 20:06:52 +0000 Suz 1982644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sparkly top, Chris! I have to run now but will come back later to comment on rest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982635 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 20:01:54 +0000 Chris987 1982635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oops, look like the photos are in the wrong order, I'll edit the text above to match </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982620 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 19:44:20 +0000 Wise Shopper 1982620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 and #7. Very dressy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/try-ons-from-meet-up#post-1982614 Fri, 14 Dec 2018 19:37:12 +0000 Chris987 1982614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some outfits using the three items I brought home.&nbsp; The three items were the dark leopard cardigan, turtleneck tunic and coated skinny jeans. I also threw in a cropped yellow Vince cardigan I found separately. None of these tops are petites, and most of them do seem too long on me because of it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Photos:<br /> 1 - dark leopard print cardigan over black shell and black slim jeans. The&nbsp; cardigan is too bulky at my upper thigh area and makes what shape I do have disappear completely. Gorgeous fabric/colors but Not Quite Flattering enough.<br /> 2 - yellow cardigan over same. Good<br /> 3 - gold sparkly top over same jeans. Good.<br />4 - dark leopard print cardigan over gold sparkly top and same jeans. Again the dark cardigan is too big and bulky.<br /> 5 - tunic over coated skinny jeans. This one was a true experiment with a new silhouette. I like the idea, but this tunic is an odd length on me, too long to be a tunic and too short for dress length which I prefer right at the knee.<br /> 6 - same tunic folded under to proper length for me, much better. These coated skinny jeans are kinda cool but not sure they are all that flattering.&nbsp; &nbsp;True leggings might be better. </p> <p>7 - yellow cardigan over gold sparkly top, same jeans as the first few pics. Like this one too.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>On the fence about the whole idea behind #5 and 6, I think I'd rather just have a knit sweater dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also there is a slit in the back that I'm itching to sew up, seems an odd look from behind.</p> <p>What say you?&nbsp;</p>
