I haven't thought about texture and my hair before, will have to repeat that happy accident. </p> <p><b>LBD,</b> Thanks! You are so positive. By mermaid you mean softer than the last outfit I posted, more like the palette at the end of your last WIWs? It is great with your auburn hair. I do have a green bag, but it probably isn't as soft a color as you're thinking of. Let me think a little... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876325 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 18:21:42 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1876325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awesome!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Love the leggings + boots!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>If I had one change to make, it's that I would love to see you in mermaid colors.&nbsp; I feel like you would rock an ocean blues-and-greens palette, with your long hair.&nbsp; &nbsp;Maybe try a necklace with some color and/or a scarf.&nbsp; &nbsp;(Or a bag, but I know you're a minimalist about bags). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876310 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 17:05:24 +0000 Angie 1876310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT outfit. The texture of the tunic complements your hair, and the proportions are flattering. Well done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876267 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:29:12 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1876267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Zaeobi</b> and <b>Mainelady</b>, I want my clothes to give me freedom to move around and do whatever I want to physically. Just walking around, I felt like this did that very well, but when I leaned into my car from standing outside to look underneath the seat, it would’ve been quite the view from the woods behind me if it hadn’t been dark out, lol. I wonder if that will keep me from reaching for this combo. </p> <p><b>SarahD8</b>, getting dressed, I rejected that combo in my head as too much volume on volume, but I should actually put it on and look. </p> <p><b>Sterling</b>, thanks! Your lemmings thread and the comments here have me thinking about the Rose jacquard pants at WHBM. They crossed my mind when I passed the store last night, but I was too tired to want to deal with it. I looked them up online when I got home. They are on sale, but not the crazy way they are in the store (of course, the store deal might require purchasing more items; I didn’t look closely). It looks like sizes are selling out, so I’d better make up my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876221 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 11:57:20 +0000 Anonymous 1876221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great. &nbsp;You look incredibly comfortable and appropriate. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876217 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 11:01:03 +0000 Mainelady 1876217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the tunic with the black leggings and boots looks great! I do agree with Zaeboi that the length is good, but to keep in mind your comfort level if you need to bend over.<br /> I have seen many outfits look great when standing, but not so great when bending over ( all outfits, not just tunics and leggings). I work in a school and bending over to work with kids is a part of what we do. Personally I would be very uncomfortable thinking about a hem rising too high, or a fabric stretching too thin on my backside. Yikes! Mirror checks before leaving the house and scooching whenever possible are a part of my world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876178 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 06:20:43 +0000 SarahD8 1876178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this piece works well worn as a tunic with leggings! I wonder if it would also work with those bootcut leggings? I also really like the necklace, it brings a little lightness up from the hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876167 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 04:57:08 +0000 Zaeobi 1876167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length is fine, so long as you're OK with it when bending over, lol! Also the necklace is a nice touch, &amp; ties it all together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876166 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 04:53:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1876166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Anne</b> and <b>Shevia</b>! Yes, I felt fine wearing what I had on. Maybe I ask here because one of my very first posts, of me in shorts with leg openings so wide it almost looks like a skirt, got mostly positive comments but a couple people thought they were too short, and there were several no votes. But I also ask on here because it’s easier than expecting people IRL to comment.<br /> The trim is actually simpler than sparkles. It’s just narrow white stripes in the knit. Here’s a close-up. </p> <p><b>Rachylou</b>, maybe eventually, but I don’t see jeggings or even skinny jeans in my near future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876160 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 04:14:09 +0000 rachylou 1876160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks nice. I think jeggings would be a good option to add to your wardrobe. Best of both worlds and one avoids the leggings/pants question... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876147 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 04:03:20 +0000 anne 1876147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah. I agree. That length is fine. Looking good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876133 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 03:03:08 +0000 Jaime 1876133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works well as a tunic and I am definitely not one to wear leggings as pants. The glittery trim is great. Did you feel comfortable wearing it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unshopping-and-it%e2%80%99s-a-dress#post-1876114 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 01:24:42 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1876114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just learned that legislators here are planning to open the new session dressed in black, in solidarity with the Time’s Up movement. I have no idea if others are doing this, but I’m going to ditch what I planned to wear and go all-black today. </p> <p>******************************</p> <p>This is one trip to the mall that will turn out positively for my bank account. I’m returning all the backup gifts I bought in case what I bought people wasn’t quite what they wanted. Most of it is plum-colored shirts for my son. I finally got him to put one on tonight, and then he agreed to keep two. </p> <p>I’m wearing another mystery item. I was hoping I could treat it as a dress and wear red tights with it, but with those slits, there no way I’m doing that. I had a pair of black leggings with a small waistband, so that was that. I’m skirting (ha) the edge of acceptable length again, but I’m happy with it. Assecories: the usual purse + annex, a costume jewelry necklace, and a sparkly hair pin. </p> <p>Comments, discussion and critique appreciated, as always. </p>
