I'd like to see you have an assortment of large fun jewelry pieces. I think you'd also look great in wedge shoes. They are more comfy than heels but still make legs look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-should-i-wear-shell#post-15532 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 02:50:57 +0000 Angie 15532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hands down, without a doubt like you best in dresses. You have the perfect prerequisites – curvy bod and shapely legs. I’d put you in dress every day (kicking and screaming l’m sure, but you said we could play dress up doll!) </p> <p>ps the anthro dress with yellow cardi and heels is killer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-should-i-wear-shell#post-15519 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 02:10:12 +0000 Lannie 15519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favourite outfits EVER on this forum is your outfit with the blue dress, yellow belt, and green cardi, which you posted a while back. Because of how well you rock a dress, I think it would be awesome if you expanded your dress wardrobe as much as possible. For some reason I think you could work a retro-inspired dress (fit-and-flare style). I also think you'd look adorable in colourful flats with casual day dresses (I notice you generally pair skirts and dresses with heels). I think colours like saturated blues and greens, yellows, bright or deep pinks, and of course red should be/are great for you. That outfit that I mentioned is great because it is youthful, bright, and fun, and I think that's what is perfect for you. Just my $0.02. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-should-i-wear-shell#post-15515 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 01:37:40 +0000 susan 15515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look as cute as a button! My favorites are the first outfit and the anthro dress with cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-should-i-wear-shell#post-15511 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:55:01 +0000 Becky 15511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I just say again how much I loved that BR dress on you? I think you really rock a dress and heels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-should-i-wear-shell#post-15506 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 23:16:27 +0000 Antje 15506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Shell, I took a look at your album as a starting point, to see what kinds of looks I like the best on you. Thought that might be helpful. </p> <p>My favorite is the blue dress with the yellow detail, both with and without the yellow cardi. It's a great dress and very flattering on you. So I'd think other dresses in this cut/style would be great. </p> <p>I also like you in the white pants with the longer top. I'd look for more such tunic tops or short dresses, in a crisp fabric and with structure, to wear over straight jeans. I think that could be a great look.</p> <p>A look that I don't see in your album but that somehow seems to me like it would look cute on you is layering a vest or a sweater over a shirt, with the shirt peeking out at the bottom. Have you tried that? You could try that over a pencil skirt or pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-should-i-wear-shell#post-15503 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:16:54 +0000 shell 15503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you can take lifestyle into account - i work in a casual office and go to school. as for budget, you don't necessarily have to take it into account. im looking more for ideas - i can always try to find cheaper versions of something if i love it im open to suggestions for any season.</p> <p>for body type, id say rectangle, but like i said, my boobs and butt aren't exactly flat, so im not a rectangle from all angles. i'm 5'6. usually wear size twelve or fourteen, depending on the store. i'd say i have a longer waist, as pants usually are hemmed and shirts need to be bought longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-should-i-wear-shell#post-15498 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:56:24 +0000 Ana 15498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you want us to take lifestyle, budget and season into consideration? </p> <p>What's your body type/height again? Do you have a short waist or long legs or anything like that we need to know about? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-should-i-wear-shell#post-15497 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:54:18 +0000 shell 15497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I know there are lots of threads about "what to wear with this" or "what do you think of this outfit", but I'm posing a new challenge to the ylf forum. It is simply "what should i wear". I know there are rules for particular body types (I think I'm a rectangle, although I'm not sure all of the rules apply to me, as I still have a butt and a chest), but I guess I'd like to know what y'all would like to see me in. </p> <p>I often have my own preconceived notions of what I should wear - I suppose I have developed my own "signature" style over the years (all 22 of them!). But I'd love to hear some suggestions from other people. I absolutely think body type, coloring, etc. should be taken into account, but I think it would be interesting to hear what you all have in mind.</p> <p>This doesn't have to be for any occasion in particular, although you can totally make suggestions for some if you'd like. Here are a few pictures to get an idea of what I look like.</p> <p><a href="http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/" rel="nofollow">http://s143.photobucket.com/al.....eashell27/</a></p> <p>Oh, and don't necessarily worry about my pre-existing style. I'm very willing to consider things outside of my comfort zone! Consider a blank slate </p>
