I really love 3 and 4 is a close second, in my book. You look fantastic in red and black, and I really like those jeans on you. The wash is very flattering. <br />I agree with your diagnosis on #2--it would look more like you, and probably more current, too, combining looser layers with fitted ones. Or, as Suz suggested, a longer layer on top, whether it's the under layer or jacket layer. That said, the fit on all of these items looks just perfect and flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4#post-1435386 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 03:31:21 +0000 Jaime 1435386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is my favorite too! I would try a different jacket or sweater with #2, maybe longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4#post-1435326 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 00:07:53 +0000 Mamavalveeta03 1435326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 and #4... You.Look.Fab!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4#post-1435040 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 14:00:50 +0000 Anonymous 1435040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had a fabulous week style-wise. I like all of these but can see what Suz is saying about proportions in #2. I love the blue on you. I have a similar knit jacket in grey that feels too short or fitted or something, especially with pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4#post-1435036 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 13:49:24 +0000 Elizabeth P 1435036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz!&nbsp; You buying that dress was one of the best (clothes related) things that has happened to me I think :)&nbsp; </p> <p>Thinking more about #2, I think what's different about it is that all of the pieces are fitted... usually I have a combination of fitted and fluid/oversized.&nbsp; So perhaps it looks a bit more... something... not exactly body con, but yeah, fitted....than usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4#post-1434944 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 04:32:38 +0000 Suz 1434944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is gorgeous on you! No wonder you loved it. Proportions are perfect, fit is sublimely easy, and the scarf highlights your face and hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think #2 may suffer from something similar to my recent oufit lab post. The proportions feel a little off somehow. The colours are gorgeous on you and I love each of the pieces, but I feel as if the tucked slim pants would be better with a longer, looser sweater. And maybe a shorter jacket (like a moto) but maybe this jacket would work -- it just needs something longer and "swingier" on the top to make it look right.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4#post-1434842 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 01:08:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 1434842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tanya, Angie and Jackie!</p> <p>Jackie... yeah, she's better now, but missed several days of school, including a ski trip.&nbsp; And insert in there a synchro competition she couldn't miss, which didn't help the healing.&nbsp; Her team was dropping like flies.&nbsp; Keeping fingers crossed that it doesn't go through the family! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4#post-1434839 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:51:50 +0000 jackiec 1434839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Elizabeth - I like #3 the best too!!! And I think #2 is just fine. Maybe a longer cardi for better proportions? I dunno - I think it's pretty good actually ;). Funny rebel you - cool cardi in #1 </p> <p></p> <p>ETA - hope your sickie is feeling better. Same thing around my house. No fun huh.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4#post-1434837 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:48:40 +0000 Angie 1434837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh. I like #3 a lot. No wonder you felt like YOU. It suits you to a tee. The white in the scarf picks up the shades in your hair just beautifully.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4#post-1434814 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 23:38:13 +0000 Tanya 1434814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, and what a way to nail the challenge!&nbsp; I love the relaxed vibe of #4 and the cool topper in #1.&nbsp; #2 looks great to me, I see no issues at all with it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4#post-1434806 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 23:20:28 +0000 Elizabeth P 1434806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Between a sick child and a snow day, I didn't have to "dress" as much as I was expecting to this week.&nbsp; I managed to use Ingunn's criteria for 3 out of 4 days.&nbsp; But not in the order she proposed... that doesn't always work with life.</p> <p>1.&nbsp; Borrow from the men.&nbsp; Did this by wearing my oxfords and a button up shirt.&nbsp; I think the leather sleeves kinda ruined the menswear effect... but I wanted to wear this cardigan.&nbsp; What a rebel huh.</p> <p>2.&nbsp; Not from the challenge.&nbsp; Now, I wasn't really feeling this one, and I don't know why.&nbsp; Can you help?&nbsp; The black shirt is one of my favs, and a total workhorse.&nbsp; The pants are comfortable.&nbsp; The jacket also comfortable - it's a knit, so easy to move in.&nbsp; And I love these boots.&nbsp; But together... I think it looks fine, just didn't feel that great.&nbsp; Anyway, any thoughts on this most welcome.</p> <p>3. Transform a dress into a skirt.&nbsp; Ended up BR head to toe (sweater, dress and scarf), quite by accident, which I thought was funny.&nbsp; Esp when I went into BR to do a return!&nbsp; I felt so comfortable and "me" in this, I think it's what made me question outfit #2.</p> <p>4.&nbsp; Unstuffy turtleneck.&nbsp; Saved this for Friday because it's more casual... and we have casual Friday's at work.&nbsp; Braced myself for frozen soggy hems a la Angies recent post, but it was cold enough that that wasn't an issue. :)</p> <p>So, thoughts and suggestions on anything is welcome!&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks Ingunn, for putting this together.&nbsp; Some of the ideas were not ones I could do, but it was great having a suite of criteria to inspire a few of my daily outfits.&nbsp; I wore things in different ways, and gave some near orphans some love. </p> <p> </p>
