I agree that the top could look nice with jeans, but I rather see it with black than brown boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041482 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 01:01:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1041482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the jeans, Anne!&nbsp; I think the silhouette with the grey trousers works best with a semi-tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041399 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 21:52:25 +0000 Lyn D. 1041399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne, I wasn't sure about this top when I first saw it.<br />However, I do quite like the way it drapes and the idea of pairing it with jeans.<br />I would definitely keep.<br />&nbsp;Although you may not have the perfect shoes/boots to wear with it right now, you might by next Autumn/Winter.<br />I hope you have a nice day off today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041268 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 17:00:31 +0000 Vix 1041268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne --</p> <p>Disclaimer: I prefer you in softer colors and&nbsp;I skew very tonal with color pairings because I prefer a long vertical line, so take my suggestions with a lump of salt!</p> <p>First/semi-related, I think the front and back view of you in those jean leggings looks great. I just dislike the way the sweater is working with them, sorry, and would love to see what else you could pull from your selections.</p> <p>For reasons stated above, I like the grey pants/tucked version (#4).</p> <p>As other have mentioned, the sweater with a darker bottom might be just the trick. I think you have a black skirt (remind me if not) and would see what the tuck looks like with that.&nbsp;Any way you can trying dying a pair of jeans black? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041156 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 13:14:22 +0000 anne 1041156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys<br />Fieldmouse &nbsp;- I forgot to say (because I thought someone would suggest it)&nbsp;I can't semituck with the jeans. They are actually jeggings that were so low rise that I altered them by dint of adding a section of bright pink fabric to the waistband! There a photo somewhere on YLF</p> <p>Penny - thanks for all your&nbsp;work in going through my posts for suggestions. Tomorrow is a public holiday here, so I'll see if I can try them out!! I am sorry your weather has heated up already. It is milder here, but still very rainy.</p> <p>Suz &nbsp;and Shevia- I get exactly the point you are making. But my black boots are so close fitting they won't tuck &nbsp;(I don't think the jeans would go over the top, but I'll give them a go). And in one of the downsides of a small wardrobe - they are the only black shoes I have - apart from my Mary Jane pumps that are pretty uncomfortable and I don't wear in casual settings.</p> <p>Suz - the fabric is really thin so tucking isn't an issue</p> <p>I wore this to church today. It is quite a casual setting and lots of people wear jeans. We went back in the evening and I discovered that my toppers and coats won't fit over the sweater so popped a black turtleneck under it.</p> <p>This top is really going out on a limb for me and I still have an uncomfortable feeling that &nbsp;ALL these looks are frumpy!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041139 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 12:11:46 +0000 Jaime 1041139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Suz - try it with jeans and black or grey boots or shoes. The sweater is nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041133 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 11:39:41 +0000 Suz 1041133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good in the tucked version (4) but wonder if it is comfy that way? I don't know how bulky the fabric might feel. For me, that might affect how I felt in it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like it in theory with the jeans but I think the wash of the jeans and the warmth of the boots (colour wise) might be clashing a bit with the cool tones of &nbsp;the top. It might work paired with black bottoms.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041119 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 08:50:01 +0000 Lantana 1041119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne I have had a quick browse of your recents and suggest you have a go at pairing this top with the shirt dress, red dress, red skirt, "Lyn's" skirt, the striped tube and the waxed skinnies.<br /> Some of these are bold pairings but I feel you are able to carry them off. Your blonde hair is a dramatic element in your look and a balance to drama elsewhere.<br /> Anyway, it could be fun to try.<br /> Penny<br /> (Too warm for jumpers here now I fear.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041118 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 08:42:43 +0000 fieldmouse 1041118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the last 2 (prefer the semi-tuck), for my eye the wider-legged trousers seem to balance the slouchy-fit top a bit better than skinnier ones. Or maybe the semi-tuck would work better with skinnies too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041102 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 06:44:26 +0000 anne 1041102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Fi. These are my only non jean trousers.<br /> I tried it with a couple of skirts but wasn't very impressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041099 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 06:35:40 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 1041099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the jeans. Perfect for a walk.</p> <p>For the other two looks, do you have darker trousers you could try it with? What about a skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-work-this-top#post-1041097 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 06:31:29 +0000 anne 1041097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sweater/knit top received mixed ylf feedback when I bought it but since Angie voted yay I kept it but hadn't worn it much and was determined to try. Pics 1&amp; 2 were how I actually wore it out. Is it too short?<br /> 3 was an attempt at semituck and 4 a full tuck. I didn't think much of either of these.<br /> Would love to hear your feedback! </p>
