I really like the rolled jeans, loafers on bare feet look and it looks great on you. I also can't wait til the weather warms up and I can put on lighter, barer looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862864 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 03:21:25 +0000 Jaime 862864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yellow and blue look wonderful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862733 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 01:58:34 +0000 Suz 862733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The yellow with the blue is a perfect breath of spring!! Gorgeous colour combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862649 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 01:01:12 +0000 Thistle 862649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #4. Looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862647 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 00:59:39 +0000 JulieJohn 862647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #4 as well. One more point of interest about it is that your bare arms add a nice touch and kick up the springtime quotient, so good job on the sleeve scrunch. FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862610 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 00:33:03 +0000 Angie 862610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving #4! One of your best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862555 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 23:44:37 +0000 Beth Ann 862555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've gotten good feedback already, and Jayne has some great comments. I like #4 a lot --- proportions are very pleasing. #3 and #1 work, too, but don't have quite the interest of #4. I hear you about second guessing yourself. Don't hesitate to experiment! You've made some amazing style changes in a very short period of time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862303 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:28:15 +0000 Raisin 862303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh the soft yellow is very nice with the blue. They are a great combo. I think 4 would be my favorite too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862298 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:26:19 +0000 amiable 862298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Jayne - it helps me immensely to know why something does/doesn't work.</p> <p>I think I'm drawn to looks in #1 because I've always considered myself top heavy with spindly legs - so I gravitate toward making my top look smaller and my legs bigger - thanks for pointing out when I've taken that too far (In reality I'm not top heavy with spindly legs - I'm fairly proportional. I need to retrain my thinking)</p> <p>I tried a semi-tuck in #3, and didn't like it - I didn't think to try it without the jacked (like #2) I'll bet that would have worked better.</p> <p>The jacket in #3 is a L, I usually wear a M in looser fabrications and a L in tighter, This one has been very nearly purged several times because, like you said, it's just a bit big and heavy for almost everything. If I had another option for a navy topper, it would be out - I'm on the hunt. :)</p> <p>And thank you for the compliment on #4. Somehow I'm in a bit of shock that it works Thank you for explaining why! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862279 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:17:48 +0000 jayne 862279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. the bulk of the jeans overhelms the daintiness of the short and lightweight jacket.<br /> 2. the denim on denim almost works actually, but I think the shirt is a bit too short or needs a tuck/semi tuck to balance.<br /> 3. again the shirt under is too short to peak out from the jean jacket which is hip length and a bit heavy, is it your size really?<br /> 4. you knock it out of the park with the shorter yellow topper which shows just enough of the shirt to be interesting but does not add extra bulk.</p> <p>I thought you might want an opinion on why they worked/didn't work to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862180 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 19:37:21 +0000 amiable 862180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay - not changing! </p> <p>Thanks for the vote of confidence!</p> <p>I really second guess myself a lot in style. *sigh*. At least I'm pretty sure that I'm learning - maybe someday I'll have some confidence too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862111 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:54:11 +0000 biscuitsmom 862111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 and #4 I like the idea of #3, but its a little denim overload. Great suggestions by Inge.... you look so lovely in yellow and Im right there with ya on wishing for Spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862110 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:53:16 +0000 Inge 862110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I forgot to mention this and agree 100% with Ceit: please wear outfit 4 today!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862105 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:51:51 +0000 Anonymous 862105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 4! I think you really made it your own there, please don't change!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-862101 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:49:36 +0000 Inge 862101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love outfit 4, Amiable. This soft yellow is beautiful on you, and it looks great with the two different shades of denim. I like the juxtaposition with the tougher boots as well.<br /> Have you tried the loafers with this outfit and the jeans completely unrolled, I'm curious to see how that looks too.</p> <p>Yesterday's blue, black + yellow combo is lovely too. Those jeans are fab on you, by the way. I bet a patterned bootie or ankle boot (maybe animal print) would look great with this as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blues-1#post-861900 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 17:07:59 +0000 amiable 861900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about you, but I'm sure tired of waiting for spring.... I know I have plenty more winter possible outfits, but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas....</p> <p>Anyway, I've been waiting for a warm enough day to copycat <a href="http://gochicorgohome.com/explore/members/5659/board/473942"> this look</a>. I finally decided that I'd just quit waiting and do it. Of course I forgot about the leopard touches, and think that the outfit would have been much better with it. Oh well. Maybe next time.</p> <p>And today I thought I'd try <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/01/25/outfit-formula-column-of-denim-with-spring-accents/">Angie's denim-on-denim formula</a>. But I don't like the way it worked either - it's too bulky with this jacket, and too blah without it, and my pants look weird with these shoes.... *sigh*. I'll probably change before I go out running errands this evening. </p> <p>What do you suggest? Just start over? Add yesterday's yellow jacket? What would improve yesterdays blue/black/yellow combo too?</p> <p>ETA: Now with yellow jacket and boots. i don't think I like loafers (at least not mine), and it's too cold for rolled jeans. I'm not sure about this version either (probably will change again when I get a chance...)</p> <p>suggestions? </p>
