A little neck scarf in number one, perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454898 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 16:06:45 +0000 Angie 454898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great set of outfits, Shu! You have really pretty hair too :)</p> <p>I'm glad that YLF has helped you see how gorgeous you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454887 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 15:40:56 +0000 Shu 454887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback all, and for the lovely compliments on my figure (and Kate Winslet, Dianthus?! Such a sweet thing to say). All I saw were flaws before I came here and I'm beginning to see good parts - and how to dress them - with all your help. There's also something pretty magical about seeing myself in photos. I am able to be more objective than when I look in the mirror. So, another life changed by YLF - thanks Angie! </p> <p>Thanks for the suggestion to take in the skirt, Inge. When I put it on I was going for a sillhouette like this one in #5 <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boot-jacket-qs-photo-heavy" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....hoto-heavy</a> (sorry to post the whole link, I'm away from the computer with just that one photo), and it was working pretty well - until I sat down and the skirt stretched out, so maybe taking it in will help it keep the shape I'm going for. That outfit in #5 is what many people are suggesting with that sweater, too.</p> <p>Annagybe, Hubalicious actually pointed out that the camera angle in some of the photos is unflattering. I used to put it on a counter, which he pointed out makes my hips look larger because it's so low and it's not how people actually see my body (unless they're 3 1/2 ft tall). Since I've been taking them with my phone at a higher angle, my body looks quite a bit different - so your confusion was justified. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454657 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 02:14:10 +0000 Amy 454657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your lovely figure is enviable. I also like #1 a lot and think if you add accessories, just keep them simple. Ooh, what about a vest/waistcoat?</p> <p>Great colors in #2. I'm not crazy about # 3. Nice pieces, but I'm not sure they work together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454649 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 02:04:19 +0000 Lisa 454649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits. The color in #1 is especially nice on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454631 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 01:56:13 +0000 modgrl 454631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1 and 2. I don't think you need anything extra in 1 - that is a great outfit as is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454608 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 01:21:18 +0000 Jonesy 454608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Inge said. I think that pencil skirts in stiff material (like denim) seem to look better if they taper a bit at the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454603 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 01:06:04 +0000 Vicki 454603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving #1 and the darker sweater in #2 and I agree with Dianthus and Inge in their observations. Very nice, Shu. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454600 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 01:02:45 +0000 Suz 454600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first two are gorgeous on your stunning figure. Your third element in #1 (if one is needed) could be a cropped jacket or a vest of some kind. Or just great jewelry. </p> <p>The last one doesn't do your figure justice. I think, either the sweater is too bulky (and I'm not sure taking it in will help, because it might be the knit itself that is too bulky) and/or the skirt needs to be slimmer cut. But perhaps the sweater will play well with skinnies and the skirt with a slimmer top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454587 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 00:42:37 +0000 annagybe 454587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok now I see hourglass, funny. I agree with #3 needing a slimmer bottom. I'm all for oversized tops (see my outfit today). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454569 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 00:03:30 +0000 sarah 454569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The silhouette and color in #1 are absolutely perfect for you! Could you add a cropped jacket to that as your other element? #2 is great, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454506 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 21:54:27 +0000 Inge 454506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such an amazing figure, Shu!<br /> #2 is perfect as is, if you ask me.<br /> I really love outfit #1 too, coral looks beautiful on you. I think the collar of the top adds a little interest by itself and I was wondering: are you wearing earrings with this? Then maybe it doesn't need much extra at all? Or you could add a brooch to the top?</p> <p>I hear you on the skirt fit. I actually had a pencil skirt taken in along the sides to make it more tapered towards the knee, perhaps worth a try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454505 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 21:53:03 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 454505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first thing I noticed is that you look a lot like Kate Winslet in pic two. I think outfit 1 if very nice as is and would just add a pendant necklace for a bit of shine. I also really like outfit 2 and not just because you look like a star. Something isn't quite right on the white sweater outfit. I think it may be proportion. I would try it with skinny pants and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454495 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 21:40:50 +0000 Mellllls 454495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my favorite is #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454494 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 21:38:24 +0000 CocoLion 454494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both #1 and #2. #3might work better with the belt a little higher on the waist, or paired with a slimmer bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454484 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 21:26:09 +0000 Shu 454484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I agree about #1 - its also the tightest! I keep coming back to a close-fitting line being the most flattering. I see what you mean about the rectangle, that skirt started out fitted and tapering toward my knees, but ended like this - that was the one skirt in my closet I thought might work after a recent closet clean-out, but if it's not holding up though the day, perhaps not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454481 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 21:21:57 +0000 Mo 454481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 is the most balanced look figure-wise. An accessory would definitely elevate the look. The brown sweater looks fine cinched in to me. The white sweater over straight skirt strikes me as a bit rectangular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454480 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 21:21:44 +0000 DressLover 454480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That shade of coral is beautiful on you! I also really love the off-white sweater jacket as the drape on it is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-assortment#post-454478 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 21:15:53 +0000 Shu 454478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) I need to go accessories shopping, I like this as a base, but think it needs a "third element" - as someone said about my silk shirt post.</p> <p>2) my off-white sweater jacket, this time with a denim skirt - ignore the wonky belt and stretched - outness of the skirt, I snapped this quickly at the end of the day.</p> <p>3) Trying this too-big sweater wrapped tight and belted to see if it's worth taking in on the sides - I think so, but opinions welcome!<br /> ETA: oops, 2 and 3 are switched. </p>
