I'm confused. Should the thirds be between my neck and knees? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043352 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:48:08 +0000 jayne 1043352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the topper is half of you, the skirt the other half.&nbsp; I think I read on InsideOutStyle that we should do thirds.&nbsp; When I look at this I feel all emphasis is on those two parts, cardi + skirt, and the legs don't 'count'. Can you try a longer cardi with a belt over? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043310 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:11:56 +0000 annagybe 1043310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043286 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 17:22:40 +0000 Anonymous 1043286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the semi tuck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043278 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 17:12:00 +0000 Suz 1043278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the semi-tuck! I think your sensitivity to your shape is blinding you to it, if you know what I mean. I think it looks great with the top shorter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043275 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 17:06:54 +0000 Amy 1043275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You ladies are so smart. I kind of like the tuck, but am not sure it will stay in place. I'll have to figure out how to keep it there.</p> <p>Tracina, you are a wizard. That's really helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043269 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 16:57:11 +0000 Anonymous 1043269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the semi tuck has better proportions too.&nbsp; I think the first set of pics it is that all 3 pieces draw the eye to the same spot.&nbsp; I did some really bad images playing around.<br />1 original<br />2 longer cardi<br />3 longer top<br />4 shorter top</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043257 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 16:51:57 +0000 kellygirl 1043257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it both ways with a slight preference for the tuck. I think the first photo has the sweater and the cardigan ending at the same place--I think it would look a bit better if one was shorter and one longer. Just my 2 cents. You look great btw--I've missed your WIW's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043252 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 16:47:56 +0000 Sara L. 1043252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the semi-tucked look!&nbsp; How does it feel to you?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043251 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 16:46:24 +0000 merwoman 1043251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I do - like the 2nd pic better with tuck.&nbsp;<br />I hear what you are saying about the waistline - but to my eye, photo #2 is far more pleasing. You've broken up the solid line at your hips. Am thinking that a finer gauge might drape even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043246 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 16:39:29 +0000 rae 1043246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the proportions! And the colors. And that sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043241 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 16:35:27 +0000 Amy 1043241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies. About the proportions: I think I feel happier with outfits when my short torso is camouflaged, so I'm hesitant to tuck in any form. Belts tend to ride up to my natural waist even when I try putting them lower down. My natural waist is really close to my bust. Anyway, being game to try new things, here is a somewhat tucked look. Is this better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043210 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 16:00:07 +0000 Ornella 1043210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit in every respect,&nbsp;Adorable Amy, and I'm doubly thrilled you've inspired me to try this colour combination as a pair of burgundy tights had resurfaced from one of my drawers and I just don't feel like wearing them with black alone.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043209 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:59:17 +0000 merwoman 1043209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This lovely outfit seems to be custom-made form Angie's post today. Love cranberry and shades of gray - such gorgeous colours on you!<br />Like Ceit, I was wondering if you might want to break up the sweater line - semi tuck would be something to try. Why not try rolling up your sleeves a little to give some dimension - and a peek of skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043198 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:37:32 +0000 Suz 1043198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What was bothering you about the proportion, Amy? Love these colours, by the way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043194 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:25:12 +0000 Anonymous 1043194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colours -- love the shoes with the sweater. I think I would like to see the top a tad shorter. Can you semi-tuck it to echo the drape of the sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-102-burgundy-navy#post-1043191 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:23:18 +0000 Carole 1043191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fall outfit, excellent outfit proportions IMO.
