I see Angie has clarified:). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flared-leg-with-trendy-top#post-1050376 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 03:03:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1050376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tunic on you a lot! You look fab in that color and shape of top. I think it would go better with a skinny-leg pant, but otherwise a nice, casual look. I, too, love the specs on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flared-leg-with-trendy-top#post-1050293 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 01:54:24 +0000 Kristin L 1050293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you gave it a great try and that it looks very nice on you. I love the attitude you have in the pic as well. And those glasses look perfect on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flared-leg-with-trendy-top#post-1050289 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 01:49:06 +0000 Anonymous 1050289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry this didn't work for you! I admire your effort though in translating the ensemble. The colour of the top is really lovely on you, and I can see this with skinnies really easily.</p> <p>Love your glasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flared-leg-with-trendy-top#post-1050287 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 01:45:49 +0000 deb 1050287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, thanks for explaining, Angie. I just did not feel right all day in the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flared-leg-with-trendy-top#post-1050207 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:12:35 +0000 Angie 1050207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see why you interpreted the recipe in this way, Deb&nbsp;- and I am at fault for not specifying that the high-low top needs<b><i> to taper back to the hip to create structure</i></b>. You're wearing a swing top tunic with a high-low hemline which does not taper back to the hip. Hope that makes sense, and that your foot is feeling better. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flared-leg-with-trendy-top#post-1050186 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 23:19:42 +0000 deb 1050186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all, I usually do wear this top with skinnies but I read this this morning;</p> <p>"<strong>Fluid or oversized high-low knitwear</strong> in a refined and soft fabrication. Because you’re wearing “volume on top of volume” in this version, the high-low hemline is essential for structure as is the drape of the top to ensure that it collapses back onto the body. That way you won’t feel like you’re wearing a shapeless sack.&nbsp;"</p> <p>and thought she meant this type of top. I guess not this top, anyway.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flared-leg-with-trendy-top#post-1050141 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:55:27 +0000 Suz 1050141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, all I can see is how fantastic those specs look on you!! Seriously, those are brilliant.&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay, once past that, I agree with the others that maybe the top length is the issue -- her formula calls for a shorter or cropped top. And as Tracina said, that top would look great with skinnies.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your bookending, by the way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh -- the other thing about flares is that most of us need to wear a heel with them, even a low heel does wonders. And right now that is not really in the cards for you with your foot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flared-leg-with-trendy-top#post-1050139 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:52:34 +0000 Anonymous 1050139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your jeans look more straight to me than flairs and like Una said maybe a more fitted top would work better.&nbsp; The top you have on would look really great with skinny jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flared-leg-with-trendy-top#post-1050135 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:48:05 +0000 catgirl 1050135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the top length is at odds with the bottom.&nbsp; Seems to me that the less flare you have, the more fitted the top needs to be to emphasize the look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flared-leg-with-trendy-top#post-1050132 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:46:56 +0000 deb 1050132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my version of Angie's flared leg with trendy top. Either my legs are not flared enough or my top is not trendy enough because I do not feel it is working on my body.
