Can you scrunch the top a little so it sits at an angle -&nbsp;that may fix the slightly too long feel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-accidental-uniform#post-1240381 Fri, 02 May 2014 23:39:40 +0000 Greyscale 1240381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, you're right. No idea why I was so down on it. I feel happy wearing it. Thanks for the boost! And I do love both these tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-accidental-uniform#post-1240357 Fri, 02 May 2014 23:21:07 +0000 Marmee 1240357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not boring at all! I like it.&nbsp; The distressing and asymmetry add interest.&nbsp;&nbsp;I can imagine jewelry with it, but it's also fine without. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-accidental-uniform#post-1240353 Fri, 02 May 2014 23:17:55 +0000 Aida 1240353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In agreement with Cathy and Una over here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-accidental-uniform#post-1240341 Fri, 02 May 2014 23:07:36 +0000 jackiec 1240341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty cool looking uniform, IMO </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-accidental-uniform#post-1240339 Fri, 02 May 2014 23:05:12 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1240339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are your own worst critic, because really, this is a pretty fantastic 'uniform'. &nbsp;YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-accidental-uniform#post-1240316 Fri, 02 May 2014 22:38:47 +0000 catgirl 1240316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Cathy said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-accidental-uniform#post-1240313 Fri, 02 May 2014 22:34:46 +0000 cciele 1240313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's boring! The pieces themselves are interesting, and combine to give&nbsp;the casual rocker look you are going for. I would wear that in a heartbeat&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-accidental-uniform#post-1240288 Fri, 02 May 2014 22:03:11 +0000 Greyscale 1240288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The oversized Gap jeans are getting a lot of use, though my other jeans mostly&nbsp;fit again (it fluctuates monthly, as usual).</p> <p>The past two days were hot, almost 90, but today was back to the normal perfection. So I threw on the jeans and a boxy Helmut Lang sonar wool&nbsp;top, then realized the extra-long length meant I could wear these comfy Paul Green heels.</p> <p>This is plainer and more boring than it was in my head. I was going for casual rocker. It needs a bracelet (I have a great simple black&nbsp;leather cuff) or something. And when did I start slouching? Horrors.</p> <p>Then, when getting the photos ready, I realized I wore almost the same thing last week, except with a&nbsp;<i>different</i> Helmut Lang sonar wool top! You may remember that this was an impulse buy last fall but I decided the XS was too small. This is the small - it finally went on big sale and I snapped it up. It doesn't actually work so well with the baggy jeans and I'm tempted to shorten it by an inch or two (it's a raw cut edge). Shoes here are my favoritest LD Tuttle pointy ankle-strap flats.</p> <p>I guess I succeeded at my goal of adding more summer&nbsp;wool tops to my closet! </p>
