This looks unbelievable. I have difficulty with shoulder pads, so I'm guessing I need to figure out the *right* ones for my shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-598278 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:27:35 +0000 Beth Ann 598278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that blazer! Thanks for reminding us all of the value of modest shoulder pads! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-598231 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:29:04 +0000 Jaime 598231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! Great fix on the jacket and those jeans are a great length/fit on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-598219 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:20:23 +0000 CocoLion 598219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome, killer casual outfit! And you are so clever to solve the jacket fit issue, it looks amazing now. Surely I will copy this idea. Apparently I have a typical hourglass figure in that my shoulders are small and bust (proportionately) larger as are my hips. The shoulders almost always sag on me. You have shown that adding shoulder pads does not make one appear the football player. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-598212 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:16:14 +0000 Aida 598212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute! Great bold colors here, and fab fix on the blazer! And the cowl on the dress-turned-tunic adds just a little arty touch to keep it Diana </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-598202 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:07:32 +0000 Jonesy 598202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so clever! I love the jacket and the outfit looks wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-598129 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:59:14 +0000 Meredith1953 598129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely on you! That pop of turquoise with the stripes and the clams is wonderful. And what a great thought to add the shoulder pads. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-598115 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:34:49 +0000 JennyAnne 598115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never would have thought of adding a little shoulder pad to a jacket, which is embarrasing since I"m a sewer. I love the bright jacket with the stripes. Tres chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-598111 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:31:00 +0000 san 598111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice outfit and adding shoulder pads is a great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-598043 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:24:10 +0000 Diana 598043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I realized at some point that all of my well-fitting jackets either have shoulder pads or gathering at the shoulder (so, like a very subtle puff sleeve) to mitigate my slanty shoulders, so I figured that shoulder pads would fix the weak shoulder line on this blazer. The same blazer looks great on Kelly as is, but she is an IT and I am not. Since it's a knit and unlined, the original shoulder had no structure at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-597886 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:49:18 +0000 Ana 597886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute, Diana!

You look ready for Spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-597868 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:33:12 +0000 Vicki 597868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this turquoise jacket paired with the striped tee and those denim bottoms are so cute for your spring seasonal outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-597839 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:02:21 +0000 celia 597839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket!

I never knew, lol. Looking great, Diana; The striped top and shorts create a nice vibe with the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-597809 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:23:37 +0000 Anonymous 597809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-597749 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:04:02 +0000 modgrl 597749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet! I love this combination. how did you get the idea to sew the shoulder pads in? Brilliant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-597747 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:56:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 597747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - I can't believe the difference adding small shoulder pads made to this blazer Diana! It looks FANTASTIC and I love that colour on you. This is a super outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-041712---stripes-sandals-and-turquoise#post-597734 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:24:45 +0000 Diana 597734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my new Nic+Zoe jacket in action! I sewed in some small shoulder pads and they made a world of difference in the fit - the little lift in the shoulder got rid of a lot of the bust/underarm saggage. Paired with my striped sleeveless tunic (which is now really and truly a tunic instead of a dress since I managed to shrink it in the wash), clams, and sandals that sort of echo the stripes on the top. I think this is a more classic look than normal for me, but I like it!</p> <p>Wearing Nic+Zoe jacket, Dorothy Perkins top, Radcliffe Denim jeans, Naot shoes, Georg Jensen pendant. </p>
