I am wondering if the skirt is a tad too short or maybe you could try it with a more a-line shaped skirt. That way you'll be following the line of the bottom of the cardi. </p> <p>White Jeans - I love that look on you, gives you a long lean line. I think for some extra zing you could wear maybe red or another color sandals.</p> <p>Black dress jacket - I think it's very flattering on you. You could actually wear that with the white jeans. It looks like a pretty good fit to me but I always test them by flinging my arms back &amp; forth to see if it pulls too much over my back or bust. </p> <p>Black silk top - this is ok, I have an aversion to those kind of sleeves though I dont think they create the most flattering armline. I think if you keep it you might need to wear some brighter colors closer to your face because the black does wash you out a bit. </p> <p>Suit - donate. I think it's a little dated and the skirt seems to be puckering a bit at the front so maybe not the best fit for you. </p> <p>Hope that helps </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wiw-more-culling-questions#post-208060 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:28:45 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 208060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. Bj - I definitely wouldn't wear the suit jacket with those white jeans IRL, that was just me being lazy taking pictures And the skirt is a bit tight at the moment. </p> <p>All of a sudden I find I want my jackets/cardigans to be a bit longer. I'd shied away from it b/c I didn't want them to hit me at my widest part but what the overall proportions are seems to be more important than that. </p> <p>I'm leaning toward keeping the jacket and top and donating the suit - partially b/c I don't have any tops that really go with it, besides black which is a little harsh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wiw-more-culling-questions#post-207865 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:50:45 +0000 kellygirl 207865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pink cardi. It's a fun color and style. I think it looks great with that skirt and would also look good with a slightly longer, fitted skirt as well (or perhaps clams.) The drapey cardigan is lovely as is the black silk top. I think the top would look great with a statement necklace and jeans. </p> <p>I'm clueless in the blazer department so I'll defer to others on that--although I like the suit as a unit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wiw-more-culling-questions#post-207856 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:31:38 +0000 Queen Mum 207856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pink cardi much better with the skirt. May not be perfect, but worth holding on to I think.<br /> I love that flowy cardi on you. And, I plan to wear my white jeans past Labor Day... probably at least through September. October too if it's warm enough.</p> <p>I vote keep the first jacket and the silk top. Both are flattering on you. The suit can go.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wiw-more-culling-questions#post-207854 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:24:25 +0000 Angie 207854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm bumping for others. I'll chime in later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wiw-more-culling-questions#post-207747 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 05:45:40 +0000 bj1111 207747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>pink cardi, still too much volume </p> <p>white jeans--love the dark over light. love love love the cardi cascading over the front.</p> <p>black jacket--don't think it's too wide at the shoulder. i get that dimpling sometimes when the sleeve rides up. pulls a touch in the front, though i like the high stance. how do you feel about it.</p> <p>pinstripe jacket and skirt--like them together. does the skirt feel snug? i can see pulling out the jacket for a biz casual look, but the outfit with the jacket alone seems too casual for the jacket. i can see the skirt with a cardi or maybe with an untucked button down and your cascading cardi??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wiw-more-culling-questions#post-207738 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 05:03:08 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 207738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted a pic with this questionable cardigan a while ago and someone suggested I try it with a skirt. <a href="http://www.friendsofpr.com/laurats/28aug10.JPG">Here it is</a> - do you think it works or is there still too much volume around the waist? [Cardigan, thrifted; tank, Nordstrom; skirt, Gap; shoes, Dress Barn]</p> <p><a href="http://www.friendsofpr.com/laurats/29aug10.JPG">From today</a>, getting my white jeans wear in before Labor Day, and experimenting with light on bottom and dark on the top [Jeans, chico’s; gray top, thrifted; drapey cardigan, Nordstrom; sandals, Born]</p> <p>I’ve done another cull of my closet, 3 bags full going out so far. Fall seems to be threatening, at least a little bit, and with some recent additions I can get rid of the “will do until I can get something better” pieces.<br /> I also went through my ‘dressy clothes’ garment bags, which I’ve not looked at in a while. I came up with a few pieces that I wasn’t sure about, which I’d love to get opinions on.<br /> <a href="http://www.friendsofpr.com/laurats/blackjacket.JPG">Black jacket</a> (photo lightened to show detail) - the shoulders are a bit too wide on this, leaving a dimple below the shoulder pad. Not sure if it’s bad enough to be a no-no.<br /> <a href="http://www.friendsofpr.com/laurats/blacktop.JPG">Black silk top</a> (photo also lightened) - I’d officially forgotten I had this one, which is embarrassing. Not sure about length and/or flippy sleeves.<br /> Suit - <a href="http://www.friendsofpr.com/laurats/suitjacket.JPG">jacket only</a>, <a href="http://www.friendsofpr.com/laurats/suit.JPG">jacket and skirt</a>. Worried about proportions with this one, jacket length etc. </p>
