As someone who prefer long-waisted looks (and is severely belt-challenged), I would not semi-tuck. Have you tried layering a cami that is longer that both the top and the bomber under everything? Most of the times when I don't like a jeans (ATM I mainly wear skinnies) + topper ensemble... this cami elongating waist trick does it for me.</p> <p>Plus I am sending some winter love to cheer you all up. Winter is great girls! Let's enjoy it! We get to wear our boots and all lovely coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-almost-wore-tough-day-dressing#post-1154159 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:36:08 +0000 viva 1154159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, AnnieMouse, you are so so right. And Suz too. <br />It's really FSAD -- fashion-oriented seasonal affective disorder. There's not enough sunlight outside and not enough brightness in my wardrobe. I am bored by it all! As a result, I am overshopping, which is not necessarily good ... although I do think I have found some great pieces (with Angie's help); we'll see how they pan out when they arrive.<br />In the meantime, I am planning to spend some time this afternoon on a good wardrobe review, looking for items to cast off through consignment and also&nbsp; spring and summer things that I can winterize, in order to bring in more color and energy.<br />And Ceit, thanks for the semi-tuck idea. It reminds me that I need a colorful belt, which would make the semi-tuck all the more successful.<br />Thank you all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-almost-wore-tough-day-dressing#post-1154139 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:16:38 +0000 AnnieMouse 1154139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate that boredom that sets in in January - it feels like we'll never get there!</p> <p>I really like the brightness in (1), but I agree with Ceit - I think a semi-tuck would help spark it up. I've been working to winterise my spring and summer things, because the colours in them make me feel more alive. Could that work?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-almost-wore-tough-day-dressing#post-1154046 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 11:07:41 +0000 kkards 1154046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i agree with the others, nothing wrong with number 1, i think you are just ready for something else. #2 is great, and i don't see anything wrong with the boots.<br />can't wait to &nbsp;see the red pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-almost-wore-tough-day-dressing#post-1154040 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:41:02 +0000 Deborah 1154040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think both look fab but a little tweaking of #1 as per Ceit's suggestion would make a difference. Even some red beads could add a pick me up:)</p> <p>#2 is gorgeous. I like the silhouette on you. , it's simple, stylish and a great fall back outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-almost-wore-tough-day-dressing#post-1154026 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 09:36:02 +0000 Ornella 1154026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I think both are wonderful, but the second one especially.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it's the long&nbsp;Winter itself that has strange feeling on everyone... but I have a secret weapon to perk me up - lipgloss/tinted gloss/lightweight lipstick. A little bit of colour and shine ON the face makes me instantly feel great when everything around me is cold, grey and battered or dried out&nbsp;by the wind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-almost-wore-tough-day-dressing#post-1153544 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:51:15 +0000 Anonymous 1153544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely nothing wrong with either version, though Ceits idea re semi-tuck is good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-almost-wore-tough-day-dressing#post-1153540 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:48:28 +0000 Suz 1153540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Ceit said!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it is the winter doldrums. We are all feeling that. I hate my clothes at the moment, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-almost-wore-tough-day-dressing#post-1153496 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:13:11 +0000 Anonymous 1153496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 is great if you semi-tucked it -- I think that would spice it up a little and fix the proportions of the top and bomber.</p> <p>2 is great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-almost-wore-tough-day-dressing#post-1153391 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 17:56:24 +0000 viva 1153391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's January and the winter weather is dragging me down. I'm bored by everything in my closet! I ordered the red BCBG pants Angie just posted about because I need something to wake me up!!!!<br /> So hard to dress today... First outfit just did not work for me. What's wrong?<br /> Second outfit is a bit of a fallback: skinny Paige cargos and a favorite slouchy batwing Vince sweater. Also an old pair of Aquitalia boots that I usually avoid because I feel they've lost their foot shape and no longer look crisp.<br /> Still feeling a bit blah but the visual integrity of outfit 2 helps a little. Might need to follow Anna's lead and haul out bright pink tomorow. </p>
