Great color on you. As a fellow pear shape, I find tops that bring attention and /or width to the shoulders balances the bottom half nicely. Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-381036 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:25:44 +0000 Angie 381036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! Your first WIW is *great*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-381013 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 22:54:24 +0000 Inge 381013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top looks fantastic on you, Erin, wow!! And the colour is perfect for you as well. No need to doubt it at all.</p> <p>And the pics are wonderful, thank you for doing your first WIW!</p> <p>I don't mind the wide-legged pants here at all, I think you can definitely pull off this silhouette, but as the others have suggested, a straighter cut pant will work too.<br /> Or a pencil skirt? I love this kind of top with a pencil skirt. Lots of options;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380928 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 20:35:40 +0000 Ornella 380928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your first WIW.<br /> I love asymmetrical cuts and this top would have my attention if I saw it at the store. The color is great on you and I think this is great way to style it. Because it's knitted, the fabric will occasionally pull or cling, so I'd try and make sure it always looks as in no.2.<br /> Great accessories - pretty shoes and gorgeous smile.</p> <p>Great debut </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380911 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 20:14:30 +0000 Heather 380911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Erin, so great to "see" you! Congrats on your first WIW. Your blouse is lovely in shade and drape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380898 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:55:25 +0000 rae 380898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot as-is! You have good instincts to place your interesting details on top. :)</p> <p>I know how you feel about short tops and skinnies... I never wear that look myself. If you want, you could try a straight leg instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380840 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 18:13:29 +0000 Marley 380840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Erin! You are so pretty! The color of the top is beautiful on you and has a wonderful drape to it. Also, magnificent shoes! The only thing I would change about this outfit is the pants - I'd get some skinny ones, to off-set the volume of the top. Thanks for posting - you did great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380836 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 18:04:11 +0000 Louise 380836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can totally wear slimmer bottoms. My hips are my problem area and if I'm wearing skinnies (which I NEVER thought I would) I make sure I have either a voluninous short top or a longer tunic x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380810 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 17:11:25 +0000 Erin 380810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really started having second thoughts on this top once I saw the picures posted so thanks to everyone so far for such nice comments.<br /> I have never really done a slimmer leg pant with a shorter top. I don't even own any. The closest I have are skinny capris or leggings and I always cover my hip/bum area with a long top/tunic or cardi. I don't know if I can wear slimmer bottoms as my hips are really big. I'm a bit lost in that area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380803 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 17:00:26 +0000 amyreh 380803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This blouse is a great color and has a unique cut that I like on you, but I agree with Mo, would love to see with a slimmer cut pant - nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380800 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 16:57:54 +0000 Nadya 380800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top is so fun - it really works well with your cute hairstyle! Thanks for the closeup of the shoes - they're so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380792 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 16:36:18 +0000 cheryl 380792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in that shade of blue. Way to go on your first wiw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380787 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 16:24:36 +0000 mrseccentric 380787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! it's a beautiful blue color (really brings out your eyes and complexion) and i like the drapiness against the sharp tuxedo pants. &amp; congrats on your first WIW - it does get easier.... steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380768 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:44:32 +0000 Erin 380768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! All I could think of was VPL -visible panty lines! Thanks for the explanation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380760 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:35:30 +0000 sarah 380760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Erin, congratulations on posting your first WIW - it's quite nerve-wracking, isn't it? It does get easier, however. I think your sweater is interesting and fun! I agree with Mo, that it might be even better with skinny/straight bottoms, which will balance out the volume on top.</p> <p>PPL = perfect pants length. If you do a search in the blog, you'll find a number of Angie's posts explaining what it is and why she things it's so important! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380757 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:31:41 +0000 Erin 380757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, thaks for the great comments but I'm to new, what is PPL? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380754 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:29:54 +0000 yellowgirl 380754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your first WIW! This color is great on you - very well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380751 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:27:37 +0000 Jonesy 380751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for your first WIW! I love the top with the black tank underneath--the color looks beautiful on you, and I love the neckline on you. Those tuxedo pants are quite snazzy too! And you look to be sporting PPL, which will warm Angie's heart :). Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380737 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:19:38 +0000 Mo 380737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your first WIW!! I like it but you might also try a straight leg or skinny bottom to balance the drapey volume in the top. Great color blue!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380736 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:19:03 +0000 Freckles 380736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cute outfit. Love the neckline and adorable shoes. Great colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-87-my-first#post-380727 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:13:47 +0000 Erin 380727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to start by saying I can't believe how hard it is to take a pic of myself and not feel/look like an idiot. I was stepping out today and trying a new sweater that is asymmetrical. I really liked the idea of it when I bought it. (pre YLF) I found it hard to photograph it and style it. It is very fine knit and therefore see-thru. The smiling post was quite helpful as I was trying a white tank with jeans before. I did put silver earrings and bracelets on after. (and makeup). I thought that the visual weight on top was a better balance for my pear/triangle? body type. </p> <p>Ok, be gentle, but be honest. </p> <p>Pants Gap wide leg tuxedo<br /> Sweater Cassis<br /> Tank Banana Republic<br /> Shoes Geox </p>
