I'm tall and have long arms and legs, but in shorter pants and sleeves (together) think my torso looks thick.<br /> I love the outfit as is but it would also look great with a contrasting belt - red, burgundy, cognac, teal, yellow...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059982 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 16:45:36 +0000 rachylou 1059982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eeee! Green and gingham! I don't even have to look to know that's a winner - but I did and you look fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059653 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 11:27:17 +0000 Anonymous 1059653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the rec -- I woul also not be dry cleaning them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059650 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 11:24:24 +0000 Emily 1059650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, guys! &nbsp;I think the thing about the belt is that it looks sort of country-casual with the gingham shirt, whereas I was going for chic and&nbsp;playful.&nbsp; A bit of country casual&nbsp;is just fine, obvs,&nbsp;I just think a sleek belt would be more "me".&nbsp;</p> <p>Re: the sleeves, &nbsp;I have this thing about&nbsp;3/4 length/pushed up&nbsp;sleeves and cropped pants. &nbsp;In my mind's eye it looks like&nbsp;I suddenly grew and now my limbs are too long for my clothes. &nbsp;If my pants are between ankle and knee I feel like my sleeves must be either at my wrist or above my elbow. &nbsp; That's a bit weird, right? &nbsp;Right. &nbsp;Moving on! :)</p> <p>Ceit, the pants are pretty great! &nbsp;I haven't washed them yet (I am a laundry rebel and will not be following the dryclean label) but the fit was superb and they wore really well through the day. &nbsp;The fabric is nice and sturdy. &nbsp;My only gripe is that they are a bit&nbsp;bulky around the fly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059508 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 05:51:12 +0000 Neel 1059508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like the belt too! &nbsp;Great shirt! &nbsp;YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059362 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 02:18:44 +0000 Lantana 1059362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good Emily. It's a fab belt with an eyecatching buckle which is stealing the limelight here. If you were to wear higher contrasting specs I think they would balance things out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059356 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 02:15:06 +0000 Suz 1059356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shevia said. Keep the belt!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059349 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 02:12:21 +0000 Jaime 1059349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the belt. My impulse is always to push up the sleeves but you look good as is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059292 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 01:10:42 +0000 Anonymous 1059292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh they look really good. I need to check out Sloans too! Thanks for the inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059288 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 01:08:16 +0000 El Cee 1059288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very nice classic look. And I very much like your "big ol' belt buckle". Love your green slacks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059284 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 01:05:38 +0000 pil 1059284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your gingham and green - and think your "big ol' belt buckle" looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059281 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 01:00:58 +0000 LACeleste 1059281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Emily!</p> <p>I'm still an apprentice so I will leave thoughts on proportion etc.&nbsp;to the experts. </p> <p>Very cute outfit!&nbsp;</p> <p>You are very pretty with a lovely smile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---green-and-gingham#post-1059271 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 00:54:48 +0000 Emily 1059271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Representing Team Wear - I got these BR Sloan ankle pants Friday and couldn't wait to wear them to work.</p> <p>Gingham Shirt - Joe Fresh<br /> Cardigan - Rickis<br /> Pants - BR Sloan<br /> Pointy Flats - Aldo</p> <p>I thought something was not quite right about this, and now that I see the pics I think it is the big ol' belt buckle. Next time I will wear a sleeker skinny belt.</p> <p>I fake hemmed the pants by folding up the cuffs. I could hem them, but if I leave them I can flip the hems down for booties.</p> <p>So, thoughts? Proportions all ok? </p>
