I need to keep this in mind as I move forward... Thanks for chiming in, as I know you are busy with Inge's arrival! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment/page/2#post-1352893 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 13:41:11 +0000 Angie 1352893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes. And the soft V drape offsets a broader shoulder line. No linebackers on my computer screen.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment/page/2#post-1352891 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 13:39:20 +0000 Angie 1352891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, FWIW, you are SO hitting the mark with this outfit. It's killer, and personally my favourite skirt outfit I've seen on you all year. I like the shorter front length&nbsp;with this skirt style.&nbsp;To my eye,&nbsp;other tops you wear&nbsp;are often&nbsp;too long for your 5ft height unless you partially tuck them in front to shorten their length. This is your Skirt Style Zen. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment/page/2#post-1352867 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 13:14:04 +0000 Alana in Canada 1352867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you. I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all. That said, I wonder what it would look like if you put your hair up and lengthened the neck? Or would that make the shoulders more apparent? Not that that's a bad thing. (I am a child of the eighties, well, OK, teen to young adult, lol.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment/page/2#post-1352857 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 13:07:19 +0000 texstyle 1352857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great and I don't see this as something that makes your shoulders look big. I love the colors and the plaid. I can't remember if you ever wear white bottoms but wonder how white jeans would look with this top... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352839 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 12:36:04 +0000 Lucy 1352839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the shoulder line is strong but it's not TOO strong! I think you look stylish!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352831 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 12:28:28 +0000 lyn67 1352831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shirt ann outfit &nbsp;looks good to me-no linebackers here! Thus, I have other issues with these wrap shirts. As&nbsp;they&nbsp;do not have&nbsp;a front seam, the wrap tends to split on my torso. Does anybody have the same issue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352820 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 12:03:56 +0000 Neelie 1352820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a strong shoulder (I loved the 80's - waiting for shoulder pads to come back!) and I think the colour of the blouse is fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352816 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 11:57:41 +0000 Mona 1352816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit a lot but I am also a big fan of strong shoulder line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352789 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 11:17:52 +0000 unfrumped 1352789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I get your shape thing but I think you look great, you know? Fit and polished. So I don't see it as oh my, this person is IT , something must be done! If you wanted to balance more, I guess a skirt with flare, or trousers that didn't taper the legs as much, would do that but it might not make a better outfit. I think the blouse looks really good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352771 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 10:26:59 +0000 Neel 1352771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - I do see strong shoulders but I don't see it as bad at all! You look lovely! Do you think more fluid bottoms can actually balance the look? Pajama jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352770 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 10:21:13 +0000 Karie 1352770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's the shoulder line and wide V of the neck that brings out your IT shape and makes you think "linebacker." When I look at it, I don't see linebacker at all, but I do see a tiny waist - which is a good think in my book!&nbsp;<br />I love plaid, and I love it when paired with a skirt and booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352723 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 04:59:19 +0000 Adelfa 1352723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love you in that shirt. IKWYM about feeling that way in plaid, I'm in a stage where I refuse to wear it for that reason. But you look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352708 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 04:02:25 +0000 MsMary 1352708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look ridiculously great.&nbsp; Srsly.</p> <p>Carry on... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352683 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 03:36:01 +0000 MsLuna 1352683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit Una!

The dark on bottom and plaid on top might accentuate your IT shape, but the long V on the blouse counteracts that effect. To me, it's a cool outfit, and I love the red plaid on you. The sheerness of the fabric appeals to me--it gives a light, airy look. <br />What if you lengthened at the other end, with shoes rather than boots? Maybe that's another option to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352648 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 03:10:51 +0000 Jaime 1352648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this style, love it on you, love it with the skirt, and don't see linebacker.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352646 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 03:06:13 +0000 fathenry 1352646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see a problem, it look s great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352634 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 02:46:45 +0000 K. Period. 1352634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you! I'm sensitive to shoulders, as you know, being a fellow IT. &nbsp;This doesn't seem bad at all. &nbsp;It seems like one of those items that seems like it makes the shoulders broader, but somehow the eye doesn't really register it. &nbsp;Like dropped shoulders on shirts. &nbsp;They do, but they don't. &nbsp;You look great!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352621 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 02:32:25 +0000 Suz 1352621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley is on fire today with the funnies!! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm with her, though -- I'll never choose you for my football team. You look too good for that. Love this shirt on you.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352615 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 02:29:19 +0000 deb 1352615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a wonderful outfit, Una. I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352603 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 02:22:51 +0000 Marley 1352603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if you are a linebacker, I would never draft you onto my Fantasy Football team - you're just not big enough or broad enough! &nbsp;<br />You know, I have trouble with this style of top - I've got two of them and have never figured out how to style them so that I don't look as though I'm wearing giant shoulder pads. &nbsp;However, I don't think you look too broad-shouldered at all - and I like it paired with the skirt and booties. &nbsp;You look great - and don't worry about your judgement - you know we'll keep you in line! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352593 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 02:13:54 +0000 Aida 1352593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In all seriousness, I think because you're not really shortening your torso the linebacking thing is mitigated. I run into the issue MOST when I've got my torso shortened when tucking with high waisted garments (due to having a short waist). As long as I keep the torso length normal or long, the shoulders end up minimized. So all that to say that I think the effect is far more noticeable to you than to anyone else </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352589 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 02:11:01 +0000 Mo 1352589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I plan on wearing my soon to arrive white wrap front blouse over jersey skirts myself! &nbsp;Maybe you are just feeling out of your comfort zone trying some new things after coasting&nbsp;for a while&nbsp;in your updated but still tried and true silhouettes? &nbsp;That whole coming full circle into our original styles thing. &nbsp;This is branching out again after landing at the starting point.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352588 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 02:10:54 +0000 Janet 1352588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see linebacker either -- I like it! I hear you on rolling lightweight sleeves though! </p> <p>I tried on that Athleta skirt just for grins -- awful on my hips! Even sized up. I'll enjoy it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-am-i-losing-judgment#post-1352583 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 02:04:47 +0000 Anonymous 1352583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, what I'm mostly seeing is how nice and slim your hips are. And how much I like that print. </p>
