I don't think it washes you out, but if you do, try adding a scarf.<br />I would try a cami under #2 and see if you like the sweater better with the added length of the cami, if not, toss.<br />#3, the color is nice but the sleeves look dated - toss.<br />#4 - love this look on you!<div>#5 and #6 - can you remove the tassels from the zipper pulls?</div> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901794 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 08:17:08 +0000 Deborah 901794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am giggling at Donna's comment about the tassle placement. &nbsp;I didn't notice until I read her comment.:)<br /><br />Amy I love #1. &nbsp;While respecting your DH's opinion, I think the white and cream combo may just be new to him and he needs to get used to it:)<br /><br />#2 looks great. &nbsp;Fab colours on you.<br /><br />#3/4 Im not sure. I feel the the top half looks too boxy and shapeless.<br /><br />#5/6 I am sorry but now all i can see are the tassles! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901784 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 05:51:45 +0000 TraceyLiz65 901784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favorite look was #1, sorry hubby didn't agree. &nbsp;The color combo in #2 is fabulous! &nbsp; Great way to try out the moto jacket style! &nbsp;i prefer it open and in fact own three of them and never wear them zipped... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901781 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 05:32:27 +0000 Lantana 901781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for this post.&nbsp;I'm finding&nbsp;the forum responses are offering solutions to moto+ sweater&nbsp;issues that are&nbsp;similar to mine. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901776 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 05:01:19 +0000 Marley 901776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #1 is OUTstanding!&nbsp; Love it!&nbsp; One of my all-time favorites on you!<br />I think the color combination in #2 is very nice - but the scarf is throwing me off - my first thought when I looked at the pic was that I'd ditch the scarf - for me it just seems too "frothy" for the rest of the outfit.&nbsp; I think the sweater is fine - I would try wearing a tomato red tank or cami underneath it and do a semi-tuck with it, along with the sweater.&nbsp; It would make your legs look longer - and then the length of the sweater would not be an issue with regards to coverage around your waist area.&nbsp; Great idea to play with the moto - and yes, definitely add gold tassels!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901754 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:48:22 +0000 Anonymous 901754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with everything &nbsp;Suz said. &nbsp;Maybe if it's the color of #1 that DH doesn't like, a small bright scarf might bring more color to your face.<br />The red and teal is my favorite color combo. &nbsp;If you think the teal sweater is too short, try a longer tank or cami under it. &nbsp;A shade of teal or green that blends with the sweater or even black might make a difference. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901739 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:16:33 +0000 amiable 901739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Rae (and Donna and Suz)&nbsp; I think I will wear #1 again - just not when Hubs has to be seen with me.&nbsp; :)<br /><br />I don't especially think this is a great bunch though.&nbsp; Should the aqua sweater in #2 go?&nbsp; I like the idea of it so much, but the way it actually wears seems to fall a little short.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901737 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:14:32 +0000 amiable 901737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hubs thinks I should change to gold tassels.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901736 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:13:51 +0000 amiable 901736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OH Donna, your comment just made me look back at my picture, and both Hubby and me busted out laughing!&nbsp; Note to self: Do NOT wear this jacket zipped!&nbsp; Yikes!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901735 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:11:35 +0000 rae 901735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Huh, strange, I really like the white/cream combo! In fact, I think it's my favorite of the bunch. High five on the moto find, too. It is hard to find cropped jackets that are actually cropped, IMO. I think this one would look really killer over a dress or with a column of color! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901732 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:09:31 +0000 DonnaF 901732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like #1, esp. the white and the cream together!&nbsp; I think motos in general look better with slimmer legs to keep the moto vibe, so I like #5 &amp; 6 better than #4 BUT I think the jacket looks better open.&nbsp; It makes the jacket a bit longer, and, umm, I think the pocket zippers w/tassels end at an awkward place when the jacket is zipped up.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901724 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 02:54:53 +0000 amiable 901724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Suz - Hubby didn't like the cream/white combo.&nbsp; I asked him if it looked unintentional, he said "no, it looks intentional, it just doesn't look good at all".&nbsp; I totally appreciated his honesty.<br /><br />I liked #2 a lot too :)&nbsp; I was surprised by the comments though they generally went "Wow, you're really bright......I like your scarf."&nbsp; Haha :)<br /><br />And yes, the top from #3 is out.&nbsp; <br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901721 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 02:46:49 +0000 Suz 901721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like the silhouette of #1 on you, Ami. What did hubby not like? What about you? Do you feel washed out? I do think the shapes are terrific on you.<br /><br />And the colours in #2 are so much fun. Those red jeans are your biggest wardrobe workhorse. Who would have thought it, right?&nbsp;<br /><br />I like the colour, but not the style of the top in #3. It's too girly/ dated for you.&nbsp;<br /><br />I am all for trying out styles first before investing. I had a plastic trench/ moto myself from our Overstocks. It worked just fine for a season and let me experiment. Enjoy!&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-moto-photos#post-901718 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 02:39:52 +0000 amiable 901718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A quick check in in the midst of the busy's.&nbsp; Here's what I've worn in the past few days.<br /><br />#1 Got this idea from the "In Style" magazine - White under cream with green jeans.&nbsp; I didn't wear this very long - hubby said it didn't look very great at all.&nbsp; <br /><br />#2 Red/Aqua and "linen".&nbsp; Got this from the <a href="http://www.brandigirlblog.com/2013/01/pantones-2013-spring-colors.html" rel="nofollow">Pantone combos</a> in the link-love.&nbsp; I love that post - thank you!&nbsp; This is about the "emerald/tomato/linen" combo.&nbsp; Except my emerald is more of a deep aqua.&nbsp; I got several comments on being so bright.<br /><br />#3 I looked at my bright pink toe nails and liked them, so I dug through my summer clothes bin for pink, and picked out this top.&nbsp; I don't think the proportions work (the sleeves are too short), so it probably won't stay around. <br /><br />#4 Moto jacket opn<br />#5 Moto fully zipped<br />#6 Moto half-zipped.<br /><br />The moto is a recent Goodwill purchase.&nbsp; It's poly, so not breathable (which doesn't bother me since I run freezing cold).&nbsp; I'm thinking this is the perfect way to try out this shape and attitude of a moto while looking for "my" style.&nbsp; Who knows if I'll still like it next fall, and I don't mind if I don't.&nbsp; I'm wearing it open for the most part.<br /><br />My good friend from China, after seeing my stompy black moto boots one day, and this moto jacket the next, called me a cowboy.&nbsp; :)<br /><br />Comments and suggestions, please!&nbsp; :)<br />
