You look perfectly fine in both outfits, sleek and trim. I think I'd team the second look with a statement boot to balance things out a bit. Nice pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-wimw-grabbing-those-colors-and-oops-skinny-pants#post-1569730 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 02:52:34 +0000 MuseumGal 1569730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see pear, I just see a lovely woman (and most women have *do* have hips).&nbsp; I think both outfits look terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-wimw-grabbing-those-colors-and-oops-skinny-pants#post-1569722 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 02:16:28 +0000 unfrumped 1569722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, cheryle. I will e able to wear it soon!<br /> WordLily, I know what you mean. I have used straighter, more oversized tops to downplay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-wimw-grabbing-those-colors-and-oops-skinny-pants#post-1569667 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 23:34:35 +0000 Word Lily 1569667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's the pencil skirt in #1 that's emphasizing your hips, not the top. But still, it's good!</p> <p>And from what I can see, I LOVE that sweater in #2! I don't think the pants are too skinny, at all. It looks quite nice, to me.</p> <p>Yay, color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-wimw-grabbing-those-colors-and-oops-skinny-pants#post-1569666 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 23:32:06 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1569666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the sweater and slim pants are perfect. &nbsp;The outfit is very figure flattering and cool too. &nbsp;I really like the deep rich color too. &nbsp;Nice find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-wimw-grabbing-those-colors-and-oops-skinny-pants#post-1569665 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 23:27:51 +0000 unfrumped 1569665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About when Angie posted her "grab colors", I found this berry-colored cardigan and burgundy cowl sweater. </p> <p>I usually have a few of  these ubiquitous cardigans (TJMaxx, Steinmart) to wear mostly buttoned up,  as tops. I think the appeal is that they come in an unending array of colors and patterns but to stay focused and not have too many, I    usually aim for "strategic" colors, such as buying  favorite happy colors when I find them, or basic black, or something that helps an orphan bottom,  or a print with strategic color or pattern that ties something together and as FFBO item. </p> <p>Shown in Pic 1 which I'm afraid looks quite pearish, when IRL I think it behaves more  the boxy side as intended, I hope (sized up) but I guess I yam what I yam!  With AT B&amp;W tweedy pencil skirt,  silver/black flats, and silver-black necklace to fill in neckline.</p> <p>Pic 2-4 is some kind of pants (or would they be in legging territory?)  by Peace of Cloth, from consignment store. I was <u>not</u> supposed to try to do anything this skinny, or do tunic-type outfits, but I liked the invisibible zip front for a flat front if I'm wearing a long top over, and just liked the subtle pattern (shown closeup iin 4). But none of my tops were long enough for "hip coverage" which I require in these bottoms. Then aha, at same time as found #1, I found this Tahari burgundy lightweight  merino cowl neck sweater that I think gives adequate coverage and balance, and yet is not a very heavy sweater, which would be "temperature confused" for me as the pants would not be warm enough. Shown with black patent oxfords.<br /> Have added a pic 5 of a front-zip pant from the POC website, but I don't really know the pants style type that I have.</p> <p>Do you think the sweater over skinny works? I don't have plans for a big expansion in this silhouette, but am happy to have created one inexpensively for fun, if it works.<br /> Thanks for comments and suggestions! </p>
