I'm going to copy #5 because it is fabulous.&nbsp; It makes you look young and gorgeous, and maybe it will work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1234180 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:47:39 +0000 Kristin L 1234180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great, but I really like the pants in #2 and outfit #5 the best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1234179 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:47:21 +0000 Kiwichik 1234179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with what Suzanne has said about all your outfits particularly the tweaks she has suggested for 1&amp;4 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1234140 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 19:18:28 +0000 BethL 1234140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Elizabeth.

I like #5 the best of all - you look fresh and crisp. So springy. The pop of color of your shoes in #3 is fabulous. I also like how the sheerness of the sleeves of your sweater in #2 lightens the look of the darker colors. I like #1 as well - the vest *is* dark against the rest of the elements in your outfit, but I think you balanced it well with your shoes and belt. I find it eye catching, especially as your hair bookends your jeans. Could you tell me what kind of shoes/boots you're wearing there? I really like them. #4 is just the slightest bit jarring to my eye, though you still look very attractive. I think it might be the casual top vs. the dressy bottom (mainly, your hose) that might be it. </p> <p>P.S. Great belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1234084 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 18:05:15 +0000 Elizabeth P 1234084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the suggestions (and compliments!) ladies.&nbsp; I agree with all of them, and will "take them under advisement" for the next go-round.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1234031 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 16:05:23 +0000 kellygirl 1234031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits. I like 2 and 5 the best but there isn't a bad one in the lot. I think 1 definitely works. The vest works with the black shoes and I like the column of "lights" beneath the darker vest. I think the patterned hose in 4 definitely lightens up the bottom half but I think I'd prefer that top with different bottoms. (I think the high contrast has me reading the top as casual spring and the bottom as winter.) The jeans in 3 are terrific. You should wear those more often. Your legs look miles long!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1234016 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 15:49:19 +0000 Golden 1234016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look cute, 5 is my favorite! It looks very springy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1233990 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 15:23:34 +0000 neonginger 1233990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all the shots, but&nbsp;OMGosh #5 is perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1233963 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 14:34:55 +0000 jackiec 1233963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so sharp in all the looks! My fav is the last one! Fantastic!!! I also love the third one with the green &amp; blue sweater, and pop of green shoes (boots?). I agree that the black is a bit high contest for #1 but you tie it together nicely with the boots. All around fabulous!!! Oh and lol about the Canadian Tire belt! If I hadn't picked up a few Fossil belts at Sears last year I'd check out the neighbourhood Cdn Tire </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1233960 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 14:21:45 +0000 Anonymous 1233960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! </p> <p>I think #5 is my favorite too. Everything just seems so carefully chosen and perfect together and the navy and white are amazing on you. In #2, I really&nbsp;like how the little details like the sheerer sleeves of the top and the extra skin showing with the d'orsay pumps make a dark outfit look fresher and lighter.</p> <p>I do kind of see what Suz is saying about the high contrast with the red, black, and white outfits. For me, I think #1 works really nicely, though. Maybe because the vest is basically a vertical line so it unifies the top and bottom? Or because everything is clean and crisp in a way that makes the contrast fit right in? I'm a little less sure about #4, though. I think having the red and white only on top and the black only on bottom makes it a little less unified, especially since the top is casual and sporty, while the bottom reads as much dressier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1233937 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 13:56:24 +0000 Suz 1233937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, of course you know which is going to be my favourite!! But in all seriousness, the white and blue is stunning on you! Crisp, fresh, and springlike, yet still works for the temperatures. Totally fab.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also really love #2. That mesh sleeved sweater is great for transitional weather. Not that it is "transitional" where I am at the moment. Freezing cold and snow in Calgary...</p> <p>I like #1 but I would prefer the vest with a lower contrast outfit -- to my eye the fresh, bright colours and white are fighting with it at the moment.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the jeans in #3, too, and also your footwear!</p> <p>I get a bit of the same issue as #1 in #4 -- the black fighting with the red and white. But the patterned hose do help. I am wondering about the proportion here, somehow. I would like to compare this with a longer skirt/ shorter top look....or one with this length of skirt and a longer looser top.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-140422-25#post-1233929 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 13:48:50 +0000 Elizabeth P 1233929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep wishing I was better at posting WIW's daily, as one gets more concentrated feedback.&nbsp; Oh well, a bulk post is better than nothing!</p> <p>Here's my outfits for last week.&nbsp; I would really appreciate any and all comments and suggestions on how to improve, what works, etc.&nbsp; </p> <p>1.&nbsp; Gap teacup shirt, and the Target vest scouted out by Una.&nbsp; Is the vest too much black for the rest of the outfit?&nbsp; Bookended by boots and belt.&nbsp; </p> <p>2.&nbsp; The Gap mesh sweater, an Angie pick from last year.&nbsp; Felt like a simple outfit today.</p> <p>3.&nbsp; Same say as #2, heading out for a public lecture.&nbsp; I've hardly worn these jeans, and I'm not sure why.&nbsp; I like them!</p> <p>4. Another simple outfit.&nbsp; Tried to break up the black bottoms with patterned hose.</p> <p>5.&nbsp; And my fav of the week... I've been wanting to wear this for ages.&nbsp; Inspired by Suz who was inspired by amiable, I think, ages ago.&nbsp; And then Suz wore it again for her travel outfit a few days ago.&nbsp; So double inspiration.&nbsp; It took me a long time to find a navy/white striped shirt, and I've already worn it about 3 times in a couple of weeks.&nbsp; Danier jacket, J Crew shirt, Gap sexy bf's, and my favourite... Canadian Tire belt :</p> <p>TIA!</p>
