Regarding the silver gown, there is a world of difference between the flat light grey of the sweater and the iridescent silver look of the dress. But post and opinions will flood in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863393 Mon, 27 Nov 2017 01:57:51 +0000 Nomad 1863393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you,&nbsp;<b>Brooklyn</b>. I liked the shape and the feel of the fabric, but alas, that color doomed it.</p> <p>Now I'm second-guessing the formal gown I bought recently, which is also silver. It's more of a pure silver rather than a light gray/silver, which may save it. It still has the tags and is probably returnable, but... I really, really love it. I'll probably keep it and, if necessary, try to figure out ways to mitigate the less-flattering color (wear it with a wrap in a better color or something, perhaps). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863369 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 22:35:15 +0000 Brooklyn 1863369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Angie on the colour of the sweater. Thumbs up for the sleeveless tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863329 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 18:36:20 +0000 Nomad 1863329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>, thank you! That seemed to be the prevailing opinion, and you nudged me over the edge... I took the pullover back. I'll hold onto the remaining store credit until I figure out what I really need and find *just* the right one.</p> <p><b>JAileen,&nbsp;</b><b>MsGreer, and Violett</b>, thank you! It's hard to predict what'll become a wear-all-the-time-until-it-falls-apart thing, but I think the cowl-neck has good odds.</p> <p><b>Emily K</b>, hm, it didn't even occur to me that something could be too soft for my style, but I think you might be on to something. You've given me something to think about there... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863320 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 15:58:57 +0000 Angie 1863320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the two sleeveless tops. KILLER.</p> <p>I vote pass on the silver pullover. Colour seems dull against your complexion. You needed the copper or gold version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863289 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 06:24:10 +0000 Violettt 1863289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 3-5 looks stunning. &nbsp;I've never been one for the "cold shoulder style tops"...I think they're too trendy. &nbsp;But that sleeveless black cowl neck is very classic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863270 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 03:28:35 +0000 MsGreer 1863270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the cowl neck as a favorite..very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863266 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 03:18:12 +0000 Emily K 1863266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite of the group is the embroidered blouse. &nbsp;And, to me, the grey sweater seems too soft for the rest of your style. But, you wear everything so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863252 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 01:44:30 +0000 JAileen 1863252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I had to pick one, it would be the cowl neck. It is gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863248 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 01:20:10 +0000 Nomad 1863248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>fashiontern</b>! There's no moving that waistband on the sweater... no elasticity there and it's looser than my hips, so it just has to hang where it will. And ha... that embroidery does look a bit like eyes, doesn't it? Now that I've seen it, I can't not-see it!</p> <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>Jazzy Dance</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sveta</b>, no, that's helpful, too! :)&nbsp; The copper version is very striking indeed, and it'd be gorgeous on someone with a maximal style. I love that they thought to do such a range of high and low contrast options.</p> <p><b>lisa p</b>, that's really good to know about the VC quality; thank you! I'll keep thinking about that sweater before I either snip the tags or return it. I think the color is better in person; it's a true glittery metallic silver, but it came through the pictures as a fairly flat light gray (which I agree isn't a great color for me). The original price was high, but it was steeply discounted enough between sale and coupons that it'd be less annoying if it didn't live up to the quality implied by the original price tag (but I still don't need a poor-quality thing). But the other two tops are 99% probability keepers... I can easily imagine them becoming workhorses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863242 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 00:42:46 +0000 Anonymous 1863242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The VC sweater fits well, but it's the piece I like the least. It's something to do with the colour - perhaps a little washed out for you? &nbsp;I also find VC quality really lacking, and I refuse to buy another sweater from that line after a really bad piece that was a YLF pick, unfortunately- so I am admittedly biased there. &nbsp; The other two tops are dynamite - perfect little layering pieces or great on their own!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863237 Sat, 25 Nov 2017 23:30:48 +0000 Sveta 1863237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be honest I like all three for you...so no help here:-) The silver top does not look too small to me at all.<br />I really like the embroidered top, I would get the copper one for myself...so striking for the holidays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863236 Sat, 25 Nov 2017 23:23:35 +0000 Jazzy Dance 1863236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That cowl neck top is pretty and looks really great with a blazer. the embroidered top is striking! I like it on you very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863234 Sat, 25 Nov 2017 22:17:39 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1863234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love elegant+thought/ leather n lace (metaphorically, not those materials)! </p> <p>I think the Camuto top is the right size, but the waistband should be moved up a little higher, so it has room to poof out. It doesn’t need to do a full blouson thing if you don’t like that, but a little more play would be good. </p> <p>I completely agree with you on the pattern in the beads—the subtle black in black is much better. In the bright colors, it looks like eyes staring out from your abs. The black just looks feathery and a little softer. </p> <p>All three integrate well with that capsule. Nicely done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-opinions-please#post-1863232 Sat, 25 Nov 2017 22:03:33 +0000 Nomad 1863232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, yes, I've already spent my budget for the year... but I had some gift cards and store credits from returns that needed to be used, and this is a sale-ful weekend. After following along with <b>Sterling</b>'s analyses, I've realized that I spend a lot more attention to buying bottoms than tops, so I was looking for a few work-appropriate or elevated-casual tops. I ended up with two sleeveless tops for work, and one more casual sweater.</p> <p>Having a style descriptor and a limited color palette *really* helped... if I couldn't describe something as at least somewhat elegant and/or a little tough (bonus points if it was both), it didn't even leave the rack.</p> <p>Everything still has tags... I really like all three tops, but let me know if something doesn't work to your eye or if I should try a different size. Forgive the catnip ball on the carpet in the background, please!</p> <p>1-2: Silver Vince Camuto cold shoulder sweater: I tried on three sizes... this is an XXS; the XS and S were both fine but were much more oversized (and there wasn't an XS in silver... just black). I *think* this is still fluid but gives more of a suggestion of shape than the larger sizes, but please let me know if it looks too small.</p> <p>3-5: Black Calvin Klein sleeveless cowl-neck: Simple, and I love cowl necks. I think it should be versatile.</p> <p>6-7: Black INC black embroidered illusion top: I'm not usually an embroidery fan (and there are colors of this top where the embroidery is more obvious, like the copper/black in the Finds), but with black-on-black it's subtle enough that I like it. The pattern reminds me a bit of peacock feathers, or a stylized skeleton (both favorite themes for me). I like the delicate high neck, too... a little old-fashioned elegance in a piece that feels sleek and modern, and it seems to work well with jackets. </p>
