Every outfit you put together is so much fun. I think the top is completely 70's fab, but...Yes, I think it is too short.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801409 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 13:25:56 +0000 Anonymous 1801409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would purge it because it doesn't sound like you even like it. &nbsp;Why force yourself to wear something you just don't like?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801406 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 13:15:51 +0000 rachelthrives 1801406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm new at this but the fit looks a bit off to me. The color is great on you, but I think the length is a tiny bit awkward (neither short nor long) and you're right that the sleeves are a little long. So I would vote purge, though maybe it would look different with different bottoms as others have suggested! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801397 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 12:41:39 +0000 Glory 1801397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say try it with some denim bottoms before deciding.

All very kind. I may give it one more try with my new dark jeans. It was bought before discovering YLF and I hadn't learned to be as PPP ( patient , picky and practical, right? ) Thanks Thea for your lovely compliment about my usual enthusiasm! I hadn't realised that enthusiasm showed through so much. I had been carried away by the "new" 70s trend at the time. I think it was part of my fantasy life as a willowy 70s blonde like Farrah Fawcett which I've mentioned before. Still like orange and florals. Maybe one more try then purge x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801333 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 02:26:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1801333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, I like the top on you, and I like the pants and shoes together. And the top and pants are such a great color match--but I think the styles are not complementing each other. So I agree with others that the top would be fab with jeans--just about any style, I think--if you want to give it another try. If not, don't feel too bad. We all go through phases of loving trends only to change our minds later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801330 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 02:09:19 +0000 Dianna 1801330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Give it a try with different bottoms and if you still don't love It, purge it. Your shows are great. I know that wasn't the question but like Runcarla said, they were the first thing that got my attention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801324 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 02:01:35 +0000 Jaime 1801324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say purge - not that it doesn't look good on you, but why keep it if you don't love it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801312 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 01:44:20 +0000 Anonymous 1801312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors in the top look great on you. Like Binkle, I'm not a fan of the bottoms with this top. They look like gear, or at least very sporty and the top does not. How about grey or white crops or jeans? Maybe a black or grey longer top with those orange bottoms? Or a black and white stripe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801304 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 01:23:07 +0000 Bijou 1801304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni we all make mistakes from time to time, so if this does not feel like you, why not let it go and wear those items that you love. I think Runcarla has given great advice, that top with cropped jeans would work well. You do look lovely and your shoes are totally fab.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801293 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 00:35:13 +0000 Carla 1801293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get past your AMAZING shoes!</p> <p>Get thee some flowy crops, maybe dark wash jean to go with the top, and repeat the shoes... and show some ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801291 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 00:29:11 +0000 binkle 1801291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it's more the mix of items than the top itself? To me, just a bit too much a mix of styles. The top would be nice with capri leggings or crops - let it be the pretty stand-out piece of an outfit. I think it's the bottoms that I'm not such a fan of - the big black stripe is distracting or clashing.</p> <p>I really like the shoes, more of a preppy look though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801288 Sun, 23 Apr 2017 00:04:35 +0000 Thea 1801288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you don't seem to love it with your usual enthusiasm. try a holding area or just&nbsp;purge it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--unloved-zara-top#post-1801255 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 22:25:42 +0000 Jenni NZ 1801255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, a shoe sale looking trip yesterday. I know, I know, I have 52 pairs and shouldn't look... Didn't end up buying, but my best friend got some pairs at like $29, brands that started off near $200. I thought I'd try looking fashionable ( ?) in my Sep 2015 Zara top from Melbourne which cost $ 70 and that was only its third wearing, shame. At the time I had 70s fashion excitement, 2015, it all felt fresh and new and I love orange and love florals. But it is a bit short maybe ( horrors, I can see slight camel toe in pic 1!- sorry for the frightening image) and the bell sleeves are a bit long, can't wear it to work, the sleeves will drape all over the patients....<br /> Shall I keep trying or purge it as a bad job. Try jeans??? </p>
