I really like #1. It is sleek and modern:). The slim belt looks good and the skirt is so fab:). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-what-i-almost-wore#post-820620 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:45:14 +0000 biscuitsmom 820620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie... looking forward to the pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-what-i-almost-wore#post-820550 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:49:45 +0000 Beth Ann 820550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree! #1 is fab! Do you have any larger pendants or necklaces? I think they'd work well with the t-neck. The necklace your wearing would be beautiful with a blouse or collared shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-what-i-almost-wore#post-820067 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:30:22 +0000 Angie 820067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! Belting over a blazer is fabulous. Now that I've seen the new jackets - it's time to let go of this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-what-i-almost-wore#post-820065 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:29:07 +0000 Thistle 820065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my fleecelined tights! It was 19F this morning when I left the house, so without them, I would NOT be wearing a skirt.</p> <p>Hmmm, is belting over a blazer still okay? I will have to try it and see how it looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-what-i-almost-wore#post-820062 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:27:11 +0000 Angie 820062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually prefer the proportions in #1! </p> <p>May I suggest leaving off the dainty necklace worn over the turtleneck in #2.</p> <p>It's not that I dislike the red jacket over the turtleneck. It's that #1 looks more updated and #2 looks comparatively more conservative. </p> <p>You need a denim jacket! That would look amazing with this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-what-i-almost-wore#post-820050 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:18:11 +0000 Sarah A 820050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 could use a bit more color by your face. I like white tops and always get this comment too! In #2 you achieve that but lose the nice shilouette on #1. Perhaps next time a statement necklace, or scarf with #1 could achieve that. I am really liking the skirt and boots, those are super FAB!</p> <p>ETA: In #2 the jacket brings a nice balance to your shoulder line but obscures your waist some, maybe belt over the jacket to bring in the waist definition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-what-i-almost-wore#post-820043 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:13:49 +0000 Tina.b 820043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is great to see you in a skirt! I think the belt actually works, but I know for me they always seems to require a lot of adjusting throughout the day. Especially over a sweater. This is a great colour combo, you look lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-what-i-almost-wore#post-820032 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:05:56 +0000 Anonymous 820032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I actually like the belted look. It is more...polished maybe? I think it's the crinkle under the jacket in 2 that is throwing me off, although I do like the color combo.</p> <p>Do you love your fleece lined tights? I have been thinking of buying some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-what-i-almost-wore#post-819985 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:22:05 +0000 Thistle 819985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had #1 on and after taking the picture, I didn't like the proportions, so I opted for #2.</p> <p>Cream Turtleneck Sweater - Banana Republic<br /> Jacket - Talbots (BC - before child - so a size smaller than I have been buying. Hubs assured me it fit)<br /> Ponte Knit Skirt - Lands End (this passed YLF muster, but I am feeling a bit unsure about it)<br /> Fleece lined tights - Amazon<br /> Boots - Tayrn Rose<br /> Necklace - birthday present from DH</p> <p>What would you do differently? How can I make this better? </p>
