I haven't paid attention to ruffles. I don't consider them as much dated as a matter of strong personal preference.&nbsp;Sounds like you're ready to let go&nbsp;whichever way&nbsp;one looks at this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185124 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:16:25 +0000 Beth Ann 1185124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that this top, tucked would work with a skirt, and I love the colors and the plaid, which is trending now.&nbsp; However, sometimes it's time to say "thanks and goodbye" to items that are taking up space and not giving happiness.&nbsp; Only you can know whether it's worth keeping.</p> <p>Hope you feel more energetic soon.&nbsp; Try to carve out some time to take care of yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185112 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:50:48 +0000 anne 1185112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the sympathy and comments - just a few quick replies as I need to be off to bed to prevent my being so tired tomorrow too!</p> <p>Shoes - yes I realised (too late)&nbsp;darker shoes would have been better. But I needed comfortable shoes as I hurt my legs yesterday on the treadmill. I really must start wearing my new orthotic shoes (patent red) for which I spent nearly 1/2 a year of my&nbsp;clothing budget and are the reason I can't buy pointy flats alas, or anything else!</p> <p>Jay S - I'm in Australia so it practically is summer still here! And wearing it with white clams was my favourite combination. Unfortunately, because the top requires a cami, it is actually too warm to wear for a good proportion of our very hot&nbsp;summers (AC at work though)</p> <p>Ornella and Suz, I appreciate the suggestions. I think I could see this best tucked into a skirt. But I also think the ruffles are dating this. Considering I bought this for about $10 maybe 4 years ago, it would be ok to toss as well wouldn't it?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185098 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:24:28 +0000 Suz 1185098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Ornella said -- and glad you are feeling a bit better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185087 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:19:23 +0000 JayS 1185087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you're feeling better. How about moving that top into summer rotation? I think it would be cute with white shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185078 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:03:56 +0000 Ornella 1185078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, I think if this top was about 2 inches shorter, it might work so much better. The proportions in #1 are the only thing that's off here. You're good with alterations, perhaps it's worth considering?&nbsp;I like the colours on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185076 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:59:34 +0000 Marina 1185076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My guess that our outfits often reflect the mood and temper. Not every day is sunny and encouraging. Regardless, you look great: the top is simple yet lovely, and beads surely add some contrast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185072 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 12:53:37 +0000 JamC 1185072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the top; look at how it looks in the last photo. &nbsp;I think a tuck or semi tuck would look great! &nbsp;it just seems too long. &nbsp;Why not try all the suggestions and see how it looks? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185055 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 11:45:15 +0000 rute 1185055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>we all have those days! hugs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185053 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 11:41:59 +0000 kkards 1185053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>we all have those days….but i'm with lyn d, change out the shoe, maybe for a pointed toe flat, and it would change out the outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185048 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 11:24:53 +0000 Lyn D. 1185048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you are feeling better tomorrow Anne!<br />Darker shoes might have blended-in with this top, &nbsp;photos sometimes have a way of confirming doubts, don't they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-frumpy-look#post-1185047 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 11:05:25 +0000 Anonymous 1185047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are feeling better!</p> <p>The outfit isn't awful, but it does serve its purpose.
