So inspiring! I would say 5 is my favorite--what a sharp look! I love the taupe moto vest, and the way the peep-toe booties echo the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661922 Sun, 15 May 2016 23:32:49 +0000 Anonymous 1661922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Asking the audience which body part you're shy about could lead to wrong guesses and humiliation but it's too bad this game can't be played without revealing that information. I haven't seen a single photo yet that supports the anxiety the poster feels and in most of them I'm completely distracted by something entirely different.<br />You have a really great figure, I love your hair, and I really admire how you've made relatively simple comfortable clothes look so trim and stylish.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661918 Sun, 15 May 2016 22:58:09 +0000 MTBGirl 1661918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Suz, Ledonna, Krish, TG and Coco! <br />Thank you Shevia - my vest twin!<br />Thank you Maneera - I'm blushing! I almost didn't include #2 but I figured I'd do a weeks worth of outfits. Glad you like it as much as I did!<br />Thank you Summer and Momo!<br />Thank you Lisa - one of my shoe inspiration gals!<br />Thank you Diane - I don't know about lean limbs but I also love that scarf with that sweater! Wore them together a lot this winter!<br />Thank you Beth Ann!

Lovely outfits, all of them. Fun shoes (your red ones remind me of my coral sandals), fab pant lengths and lots of lean limbs I think I'm going with #2 as my fave as I love the scarf next to the citron sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661668 Sun, 15 May 2016 14:44:37 +0000 Anonymous 1661668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great group of outfits! &nbsp;Love the sleeveless vest look - and the pants fit perfectly to my eye ...length is find too. &nbsp;You have a nice little shoe collection going on there - lots of versatility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661570 Sun, 15 May 2016 11:01:35 +0000 Momo 1661570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits!

You're looking fab....I love all these outfits. So fresh...and I can see that you look very confident and relaxed in these looks. </p> <p>I love #2 beyond words! Such a PERFECT outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661471 Sun, 15 May 2016 02:28:03 +0000 Jaime 1661471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. I am partial to the vest outfit because I am a vest twin, but these are all terrific. I did not read before I looked and noticed none of your issues and couldn't even find them when I looked again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661462 Sun, 15 May 2016 02:16:53 +0000 Cococat 1661462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous Donna! My favourite is #1, which is quite edgy, but everything else looks great on you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661435 Sun, 15 May 2016 01:39:49 +0000 Helena 1661435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awesome!

I love the footwear, the checkered print, crisp lighter vest over column of dark hue. &nbsp;My second favorite is 1: top is exquisite on you, boots balances out the A line, the whole outfit looks comfortable, chic and dynamic. </p> <p>All are nice though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661260 Sat, 14 May 2016 20:49:54 +0000 Ledonna N. 1661260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Donna.you are Fab Love everything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661259 Sat, 14 May 2016 20:48:13 +0000 Suz 1661259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful!

You've just made my day! :)<br />Thanks Janet! We had some sun for a little today and now it is wicked windy and raining. Quite a system coming in! I guess I never thought about my hip/thigh as an asymmetrical thing. The area took quite an impact and there is a dent and then It swells out from there. It's been a couple years so I guess it's not gonna improve.&nbsp;<br />Thank you Rachylou, hipster cool? Cool. You don't have red shoes? &nbsp;An older gentleman went out of his way at the grocery store and came up to me to say he just had to compliment me on my shoes!<br />Thank you so much Aliona!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661176 Sat, 14 May 2016 18:15:29 +0000 Anonymous 1661176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So great to see you again, Donna. Your hair is looking fab! </p> <p>I love all these looks and certainly don't notice the 'taking a stand' issues. More confirmation that we're acutely aware of things others don't see (same goes for you, Janet--I always think you look ace in your pics and have never noticed any body asymmetry). </p> <p>My fave look of these is actually 5. I think the trousers are great on you, especially paired with the vest. But I love all of these outfits--the tops in 1 and 2, and the skirt length and outfit proportions in 3 and 4 are perfect. Nicely done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661172 Sat, 14 May 2016 18:11:53 +0000 rachylou 1661172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 5 are so nice and grown up! The others are hipster cool - and I think I need red shoes (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661102 Sat, 14 May 2016 15:28:49 +0000 Janet 1661102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you about the weather! Enough already, right? </p> <p>You look great, and I especially like 1-2. That vest in 4 is great! And you have a cute shoe collection. I see no hip issues in your skirt outfit, but I understand the feeling, as I am quite asymmetrical EVERYWHERE, although not due to an accident but scoliosis. Even when I try to stand exactly dead straight to the camera and square my body completely, I look crooked, so I just go with the crooked way my body naturally rests when I take photographs. I console myself with the thought that no one is going around measuring our bodies for unevenness -- or anything else for that matter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661099 Sat, 14 May 2016 15:21:55 +0000 Angie 1661099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THERE YOU ARE. I've missed you, Donna.&nbsp;</p> <p>You're taking a stand with the best of them. Look at those fabulous arms, legs and hips. You look wonderful in all these outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>*applause*<br /></b><br /><b></b>Pants in #5 work very well with the footwear. Rock on.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-little-stand-taking#post-1661092 Sat, 14 May 2016 15:07:11 +0000 MTBGirl 1661092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello fellow fabbers!<br />If the weather would cooperate I could try taking more of a stand in relation to Angie's challenge, but we've had only a few nice days then lots of dark, dreary rainy ones. But it's staring to look up again! Two "taking a stand" outfits (#1 and #4) &nbsp;and threw in a couple to make a week's worth.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 - baring of the upper arms. I had a topper for the a/c but surprisingly didn't wear it. Vera Wang grey/taupe tank, Talbots ink ankle pants and Sole Society ink zipper loafers.</p> <p>#2 - Trying to wear my medium weight sweaters and such before the weather warms up. BR citron sweater, leopard scarf, Macy's black jeans rolled and Everlane black loafers.</p> <p>#3+4 - baring of the legs (and hip). I have two Bobeau tube skirts and after seeing photos of me in them last summer I wasn't sure I would keep them. My right hip/upper thigh is much larger than my left due to some serious inflammation and scar tissue from an accident and these skirts really accentuate it. I often wear my shirt longer to hide this (#3). So I hiked up the shirt a little. Uniqlo black drapey tee, Bobeau windowpane tube skirt and Aerosoles red wedges.</p> <p>#5 - I'm not sure about these pants. &nbsp;How do they look? They seem to have a lot of bulk everywhere on me. I thought I might crop and taper the hem. Topshop vest, Talbots navy sweater, JJIll windowpane pants cuffed and Steve Madden Shallow peep-toe booties.&nbsp;</p> <p>#6 - Casual Friday. Bobeau thin black sweater with floral 'wave' bottom, JJill long sweater topper, Ruff Hewn skinny jeans and Clarks perforated sneaker. I keep trying to wear these shoes to work and liked them here.</p> <p>As usual all input welcomed!</p> <p></p> <p><b>ETA &nbsp;&nbsp;</b>I came back to add finds and see that in #4 you cannot really see the difference. I think I was standing with my weight lopsided and my shirt wasn't hiked enough.&nbsp;</p>
