I think the denim jacket will be very versatile and, even at 5'6" it's tough to find the right length.</p> <p>Glad the tunic is going to a good home. Maybe something else in velvet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815657 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:39:56 +0000 Anonymous 815657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your WIW and the denim jacket is a great find (smart and resourceful shopper, you!), but #2 ... the tunic/dress ... just screams Renaissance Faire. Unless you enjoy eating enormous turkey legs and watching jousting matches in your spare time, I'd find a new home for it. Oh, I see it's on eBay and someone bid on it. Great! Fair thee well, ye olde velvet tunic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815650 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:36:30 +0000 Tricia 815650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Someone's already bid on the velvet tunic. It's off my hands! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815623 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:22:16 +0000 Anonymous 815623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The WIW is so nice, the boots do it for me. As far as 2, I think you can do better, so I vote Nay. The whole thing feels dated to me. The jean jacket is a classic and fits great, yey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815410 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:12:12 +0000 Anonymous 815410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree completely with what Ceit wrote. Pictures 1, 3 and 4 are fabulous. Picture 2 looks wrong to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815389 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:54:31 +0000 Tricia 815389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Velour top is up on eBay. That's the only thing about vintage, it usually can't be returned, but I've had good luck with selling it back. In fact, one dress I bought that turned out to be WAY too costumey in a Betty Draper kind of way (but was in fabulous condition) got bid up to $265 after I had paid $40 for it! Not that that will happen here, but that justified a few purchases at the time!</p> <p>I actually need a take a couple of inches off my hair - I am hopeless at actually DOING anything to it, so the longer it gets the more it hangs there. But it's a whole lot better than the awful growing-out-pixie stage I was in when I first came to YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815375 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:30:15 +0000 Isabel 815375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tricia ! It really is so good to see you back. You look great. I like your hair long.</p> <p>I like 1 quite a bit. In reality, such a "simple" outfit, yet really fantastic. I love the length and fit of the shirt.</p> <p>I am not feeling the velour top. I think that it is the gold "lace"....Though maybe for a holiday with black leggings ?</p> <p>The jacket is great ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815367 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:16:46 +0000 ManidipaM 815367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going to be the outlier and say I rather like the tunic --- and think it's current length is well balanced. I see the ren faire point --- and it's a fair point, but that's WHY I like it. I don't mind one costumey element when their are other hallmarks of modern provenance about it (jeggings and purple boots, say). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815284 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:21:35 +0000 morethanbeige 815284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love outfit #1! This is such a great look. Not too crazy about the velvet tunic. Jacket looks great open to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815277 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:16:16 +0000 Asingh 815277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit no.1 is great! A wide belt would look great with it. The bintage tunic could be worn as a dress. And I prefer the unbuttoned look over the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815254 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:01:58 +0000 Amy 815254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your WIW! The blouse and boots are fabulous.</p> <p>I'm not crazy about the tunic. It looks a little ren faire to me, and that's not something I care for much. Personal thing :)</p> <p>The denim jacket looks great to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815248 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 14:51:19 +0000 Tricia 815248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots are Altos (from the Stop It family). I had a gift certificate and went in looking for brown boots, but the Bondgirls were too tall for me and I didn't love anything else and then I put these on and the angels sang. I never expected to end up with purple boots!</p> <p>Confirming my suspicions about the velvet tunic. I'll put it back up on eBay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815242 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 14:45:19 +0000 Anonymous 815242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What boots are they? Bondgirls? They look great with the shirt and skinnies.</p> <p>2 I think is a miss. It looks a little too costumey to my eye.</p> <p>Jacket is good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-111-and-a-few-yea-or-nays#post-815234 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 14:40:58 +0000 Tricia 815234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been so long since I posted a WiW!</p> <p>1. This is what I'm wearing today, and one of my favorite outfits lately. I love these new Fluevog boots immoderately.</p> <p>2. Yea or Nay: Vintage velvet tunic. I had envisioned wearing it with denim leggings and boots but I think it's a little long - I won't ever wear it as a dress, so I could have it taken up and the sleeves shortened, but should I bother? I love this silhouette of volume over skinnies lately, and it's really comfortable.</p> <p>3. New denim jacket - I have a hard time finding ones that are short enough to wear with skirts, but I happened upon this in the Girls' section of all places. It actually buttons! Here it is open,</p> <p>4. And closed. Yea or Nay? </p>
