I really cannot explain why I prefer rolled up version, it just feels better to me.<br /> Tanya, I really embraced slouchy trousers, too bad there is such a scarce selection of them in Canada.:-(<br /> Kristin, it is a pain to find clothes long enough for this 'wonderful height' :-)<br /> Carole, that denim shirt it is not stiff but it is definitely not a lightweight one.<br /> Caro and Tracina - thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-851204 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 00:57:52 +0000 Caro in Oz 851204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others.

Love #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850851 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 18:38:31 +0000 Carole 850851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry for your tough week, Sveta, but you looked amazing all week in spite of everything! I agree with Suz about the denim shirt, perhaps a lighter weight style would "feel" better. It looks great, but I feel the same way about my stiff denim shirt and much prefer my lighter weight one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850843 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 18:29:16 +0000 Kristin SF 850843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry you had such a horrible week, but at least you looked FAB! I love ALL these outfits. Clothes hang so well on you. Ah to have your wonderful height... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850815 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 17:27:25 +0000 Tanya 850815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all Sveta! You wear slouchy looks beautifully! I prefer the jeans unrolled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850811 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 17:16:34 +0000 Angie 850811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Then you wowed your problems big time, Sveta :)</p> <p>I like the rolled version of the BFs too! Just to be clear :). I do have a slight preference for the unrolled version. More streamlined and minimal. But there is no right and wrong answer. It's just a personal styling preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850793 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 16:37:07 +0000 Sveta 850793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus and Tina, I also cannot really understand why I prefer BF jeans rolled up. And Angie does not agree with this :-)<br /> Angie, thanks for the moral support! Actually it was not a presentation, we just had to get the product out to the customer that day so there was nobody to wow but my problems! :-)<br /> Claire and Suz, it is really weird for me that I like so much denim shirts in my inspiration pictures but always feel it 'meh' on me. Suz, you may be right that this is this particular shirt. Actually I had my altered in the hips a bit - it flared weirdly there. I think maybe I need to commit a sacrilege and make this shirt into a fitted one? I think the boxiness may bother me with skirts because my hips are wide so I don't get the silhouette of wider top / narrow skirt as much. Also the fabric is not that drape-y...<br /> I think I prefer boxier shirt of a longer length and this is not long enough for this IYKWIM. Actually I have ordered a lighter BR shirt in Tall. maybe I like it better...<br /> On the other hand it may be all in my head...my head is quite prone for this!<br /> Suz, the blazer fits perfectly in the shoulders but it is a snug fit. I think it is a combination of the snug fit, 3/4 sleeves and shorter length which make me wonder if I look like I overgrew it...<br /> Ceit - thanks, I sure hope I can relax - it is a LONG weekend after all!<br /> Vildy, I am glad this blazer is not as ridiculous on me as I thought :-)<br /> Merwoman, I think my new tuxedo jacket will work well but I was trying to make my other jackets work: I have trouble doing this lately... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850787 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 16:28:23 +0000 Anonymous 850787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fab in them all. It sounds like Claire and Suz and others have some valid points re-denim shirt though. I do wish I had long legs like yours as you can sure wear slouchy jeans well, I'm quite jealous!<br /> So glad you got through a bad week in one piece and I hope you enjoy the rest of you weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850778 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 16:12:49 +0000 merwoman 850778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are such a source of inspiration for me Sveta - I have copied so many of your signature looks!<br /> #5 blows me away - so fab!!! Just some random thoughts on the others... #4 is gorgeous , but maybe you are wanting things more loose these days - how would that amazing tuxedo blazer look with this outfit?<br /> Denim shirt - I wasn't a fan of the BR shirt - too stiff and surprisingly short. I found a really nice one at AE that works quite well for me. Also GAP is another good source. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850772 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 16:02:21 +0000 Suz 850772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I am sorry you had such an awful week. As for your looks, though - all fabulous. </p> <p>#1: The denim shirt. Do you know what? I struggle with mine, too. And since mine is the same is yours, I have a theory about it. Do you know what I think it is? I think it is just a bit too stiff and bulky a fabric. And the shirt is not completely fitted but not completely boxy. And it is also a touch short of me (I went for petite...the regular was too big/ long). So all in all, it doesn't FEEL as good as it can look. Oh - another factor - I cannot do the top button up without choking as the collar is too tight for me then. And at the bottom, the ends seem to curl up a bit and look weird when I wear the shirt untucked. </p> <p>I have decided that the problem is not "denim shirt" but this particular fabrication. I would love a softer one, maybe with a bit of tencel in it to make it drape a bit better. Or maybe I just want a dark chambray one instead to fill the same slot. </p> <p>What do you think about that? Does any of this resonate?</p> <p>#2 - Love! Both versions. </p> <p>#4 - This is terrific again. With the blazer, do the shoulders feel too small? If not I think it is a good shrunken fit and might work best in summer when you have sleeveless tops beneath it. Have you tried it like that? </p> <p>#5 - STUNNING sweater on you. You look so festive and fresh. Perfect at home entertaining wear. And I swear your Winners is 10 times as good as mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850765 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 15:46:48 +0000 Vildy 850765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Though maybe it's the lipstick making it look intentional , but I love the blazer look on you.<br /> In the picture, fits kind of like a more tailored version of how a sweater would. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850756 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 15:26:03 +0000 Anonymous 850756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are far too hard on yourself -- you look great in all of these, and I hope you can relax this weekend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850743 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 15:16:17 +0000 Anonymous 850743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, congratulations on keeping it all together and looking great doing it. And then you entertained at the end of the week, you are superwoman! </p> <p>I love the denim and yellow combo. Can you put your finger on why the denim shirt is bothering you? I just culled mine because I felt it was too heavyweight and stiff, and now I am having second thoughts because you look so good in yours. If I could find one with more drape, made of Tencel or something I think it might do the trick.</p> <p>Love your BFs the long way. Lots of slouch certainly suits you. The orange and grey sweater is fantastic. I really like your thrifted blazer and the necklace, but I can understand having to take off jewelry. My statement necklace is not the most comfortable either. Love the change you made for "at home" last night. Here's hoping you have a restful and relaxing weekend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850740 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 15:06:07 +0000 Angie 850740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I'm glad your horrible week is over! And you are SO hard on your outfits - naughty girl. You look AMAZING in all of them - all an 11 out of 10. No fails whatsoever.</p> <p>#1- gorgeous </p> <p>#2 - I actually prefer the unrolled version! </p> <p>#4 - bet you wowed them at your presentation!</p> <p>#5 - KILLER Ms. Wears Trousers So Well :)</p> <p>xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850732 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 14:57:21 +0000 Tina.b 850732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would be thrilled to look this great any week, so I think you did a fantastic job given all the stressors. Your look in #4 is my favourite, just so classic but with a touch of edge. I too prefer the boyfriend jeans rolled. I love how you wear slouchy looks in a way that really showcases you gorgeous tall frame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850723 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 14:40:20 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 850723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think #1 is a fail at all. I like the blue with the yellow and think the shirt did achieve the objective of de-bombshelling.</p> <p>I prefer the rolled BFs in 3 over 2 but am not sure why.</p> <p>I think #4 is fab. I particularly like the scrunched sleeves with the rolled shirt cuffs. You do neutral beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-slouch#post-850710 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 14:17:08 +0000 Sveta 850710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was one of the most awful weeks at work for quite a while. According to Murphy's laws everything what could go wrong went wrong and even what could not go wrong was not right either. In addition (or maybe because) of the stress I had an splitting headache for 3 days. Not one of my best weeks at all and I am afraid it shows in my WIW :-(</p> <p>pic 1<br /> I am still struggling to wear denim shirt even if I really like denim shirt outfits on my Pinterest board. That was another attempt to de-bombshell a pencil skirt, I think I failed miserably again. I wore big pearl necklace inside of he collar but because of my headache I had to take it off :-(<br /> Halogen seamed ponte skirt - Nordstrom<br /> Denim shirt - BR<br /> Blondo Valente boots - Nordstrom</p> <p>pic 2 -3<br /> My attempt on rolled down BF jeans after Angie's post this week (pic 1). I still think they look better on me rolled up (pic 3) - what do you think?<br /> Kut Catherine BF jeans - Nordstrom<br /> Tahari white shirt - Winners<br /> Cashemere cowl sweater - Winnes<br /> SM combat boots - Nordstrom<br /> MK animal print belt - Rack</p> <p>pic 4<br /> Tried to dress up for Friday to face my release day - and it helped, everything came together on the last day despite the horrid week! I don't wear necklaces very often now but I felt I need one here because I did not wear a belt.<br /> Tahari white shirt - Winners<br /> Black blazer - thrifted (I am struggling with this blazer, I think it looks too small on me and ridiculous - what do you think?)<br /> Long Tall Sally micro houndtooth slouchy trousers<br /> Clarks booties</p> <p>pic 5<br /> We had friends over on Friday night so I left the trousers on but changed the top part.<br /> Brown / gold lurex mockneck sweater - Winners<br /> MK animal print belt<br /> Trotters wedge pumps</p> <p>I was not really very proud about my outfits this week but I post them anyway because this is the game I play with myself. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! </p>
