I like both the jeans looks. I think youd look really fab in a pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kd-sorting-through-my-closet#post-742522 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:40:44 +0000 amiable 742522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everyone! Your comments are so encouraging first thing on a Monday morning. Especially the comments on #1. It definitely is just too much loose volume all over the place. I didn't see that on my own, just couldn't figure out what was wrong. And I think a pencil skirt is going on my 'to look for' list - I don't have one, and have plenty of tops to wear with them.</p> <p>You all are terrific!</p> <p>Thanks for the encouragement on the skinnies. I have another set of jeans to skinni-fy on my 'soon-projects' list </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kd-sorting-through-my-closet#post-742505 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:54:08 +0000 Jjsloane 742505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! I do think the top in #1 is a lovely color, but way too big on you. Like the skirt and boots, maybe with a more fitted top?<br /> I'm a big fan of floral button downs and this is a good look although you might try a smaller roll on the jeans next time.<br /> I really like you in #3. It all works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kd-sorting-through-my-closet#post-742491 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:13:46 +0000 Deborah 742491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Amiable, welcome:)</p> <p>Your jeans outfits look great and I do like the silhouette I the 3rd outfit. It's a really simple, clean look.</p> <p>#1 as others have said a great pieces individually. I'm just not sure they at their best together. The skirt and boots look cool together and I feel a more fitted and or structured top would create a nice look. The blouse is really pretty and I see that working over your jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kd-sorting-through-my-closet#post-742441 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 07:32:31 +0000 fashionista 742441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My honest opinions_<br /> 1. Wear a fitted button down tucked inside the skirt. The skirts and boots look ok.<br /> 2 and 3. Do not change anything. You don't look like a tomato on a toothpick. You look fab in jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kd-sorting-through-my-closet#post-742422 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 06:57:25 +0000 Kiwichik 742422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi - I love the individual pieces in 1 but I think the volume on top &amp; bottom are a bit over powering on you as you seem quite slight. I think the skirt &amp; boots with a more form fitting top &amp; the top with skinnies or a pencil skirt.</p> <p>I think the jeans in 2 are great I like idea of the shirt but think maybe a bit more form fitting or a size smaller would work better.</p> <p>I think 3 is perfect as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kd-sorting-through-my-closet#post-742406 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 06:03:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 742406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, I think you look great in both the jeans.<br /> #1 - I think they could all work but I'm not sure about them together - the weight of the boots/skirt &amp; top seem to be competing in some way imo. Love blue on you.<br /> #2 Is a great round the house outfit - I love the waist definition, your body looks long &amp; lean here.<br /> #3 Imo the top isn't flattering your body in this pic (it's so hard to tell from one photo). Have you tried this top with the skirt &amp; boots, tucked in maybe? Or the blue top with the jeans? Hope this helps - but remember it is just what I am seeing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kd-sorting-through-my-closet#post-742356 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:28:03 +0000 Suz 742356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the wonderful world of WIW at YLF!! It is SUCH a great learning opportunity, you are right. One that I, at any rate, am in desperate need of! </p> <p>I love your belted Long and Leans with the scuffed up boots! They look a little loose, but in a good way. </p> <p>You also look amazing in skinnies and can most certainly wear that silhouette! I see no tomato on toothpicks! (Laughing at the image, though!) </p> <p>Your boots are so well fitted in the ankle area - not always easy to find that!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kd-sorting-through-my-closet#post-742344 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 03:15:50 +0000 amiable 742344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm slowly sorting through my closet, trying to see what I look like in everything I own, so that I can decide what to keep and what to ditch. Very nearly everything was thrifted for super cheap, and I'm not emotionally tied to these - I just don't have my eye trained to know what flatters me.</p> <p>#1: A church outfit. I got lots of "wow, sexy" comments (as compliments) from other women, but I don't understand why it was sexy at all - is it the tall boots? Also, my husband said it looked better in person than in the picture - but I think the shirt is too big (it's oversized and floaty, but also a size up from my normal). I'd like opinions on the shirt, skirt and boots, if you have them.</p> <p>#2: An "at home" outfit - these are my "normal" jeans, (I think they're gap long n lean). They grow through the day, and I just discovered belting them - I like them better that way. I think I almost always wear them with short boots. I'm wearing them with a small floral print button down here - I have several small floral-print button downs, and when I get them all photo'd I'll probably put them together into one post for votes. But you can let me know what you think anyway, if you want to :)</p> <p>#3: Another "at home" outfit - this one is trying a new silhouette for me. I kind of feel like a tomato walking on toothpicks when I wear skinnies (and these are my only pair - a pair of Levi Silver boot cuts that I skinni-fied). The shirt is batwing, and I didn't think I'd like it, but I do. Black isn't my best color, I know. But I think I like the shirt anyway. Do you? (Someday, I think I'll make a copy of it in a different color)</p> <p>Which of these are worth keeping or needing ditched?</p> <p>(I have lots more pictures if additional angles would be helpful).</p> <p>And thanks for being such a terrific forum - it's so helpful to me to see what you all wear and read your suggestions to others. It makes me feel like this whole style thing is something that I might actually learn someday. </p>
