You look so effortlessly stylish and every outfit looks very you.&nbsp; I am very jealous of that orchid sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1376978 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:27:51 +0000 Ingunn 1376978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somehow I missed this post, Suz, my apologies! I don't know where to begin, but in short, you look terrific and so pretty in every outfit. The men's sweater is draping so well on you, and I adore your patterned pants. The oxfords are fantastic, too. I think I need to start looking for two-colored or patterned shoes now. This is so inspiring - I want to copy every outfit. And the skirt with sweater and okalas? I'm dying. A theft or not, its positively gorgeous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1376525 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:22:05 +0000 krishnidoux 1376525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this androgynous, preppie vibe in your style! It fits you so well too. Good for you to have ordered the men's sweater. It looks gorgeous on you. &nbsp;My favorites are 4 - 2 - 8 , in that order. So cute and refined all at once. I feel you are getting closer to your true style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1376505 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 19:14:50 +0000 Anonymous 1376505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started to look through the photos and said..' oh, that's my favourite.. no that's my favourite, wait, no, this one is'.... aarggghhh! Love them all Not too much tomboy at all, you could never manage that. YLF Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1376319 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 14:35:07 +0000 kellygirl 1376319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read through all of the comments but I LOVE the boyish vibe of these. It really suits you. SO fab and fun! You are gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1376306 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 14:25:41 +0000 Beth Ann 1376306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know by all the comments that we love your new stylings! It's the oxfords that are making me do a happy dance!&nbsp; The contrast and details in the shoes are terrific, without being fussy.&nbsp; Love 'em! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1376196 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 10:17:43 +0000 lyn67 1376196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, am delighted by all of these, esp the orchid sweater(BTW great find) and the paids. I never thought at it, &nbsp;but it's time to&nbsp;look&nbsp; with new eyes at men's clothes&nbsp;from now on:-). Off to&nbsp;look at&nbsp;your picties&nbsp;in close ups,&nbsp; and learn:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1376121 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 04:51:45 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1376121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I'm skipping to the end immediately so I can say "what the what?" You could wear full fatigues, combat boots and shaved head and not look masculine...and I hope that doesn't ruin any aspirations you may have you are the poster child for what most of us aspire to with our androgyny capsules...so don't change a thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1376111 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 04:29:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1376111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your tomboy looks Suz! Those oxfords really freshen up the outfits. Yes, they add a dose of masculine to your style, but not too much. I would say that the looks with the heeled booties look more characteristically you, but the dapper looks with the spectator oxfords are a really fun twist on your usual style. Your skirt outfit with the jacket is just stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1376055 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 03:04:48 +0000 Jaime 1376055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I have done nothing with those oxfords but inspire you to buy yours, it was a job well done. What Angie said! Keep on doing what you are doing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1376002 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 02:03:13 +0000 Karie 1376002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boyish outfits can be fun! But no matter what, girlfriend, you are too beautiful to look like a boy! My hands down favorite here is #9-10, as I simply ADORE that skirt. After that, my favorite outfit is probably the most boyish one, the outfit with the baseball style tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1375936 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 00:56:12 +0000 Sal 1375936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also late to the party (or early as it is still tomorrow for Canadians/Americans)!</p> <p>I concur with everyone, they are not masculine looks although they have a gamine/boyish air. &nbsp;I would not change anything. &nbsp;When my hair was shorter I used to make sure I wore lipstick and was more vigilant with earrings than I am now I have a bob.</p> <p>You look wonderful in the skirt too, it is a ladylike look, so fun to mix that one into the bunch of more boyish looks.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1375925 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 00:45:23 +0000 viva 1375925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Suz, 1, 2, and 4 are KILLING ME. Just so superb. Not too boyish -- super fun and flirty, in a boyish way. Tomboy chic. Absolute perfection. Exquisite. Not. Enough. Words. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men/page/2#post-1375911 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 00:30:43 +0000 columbine(erin) 1375911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a find in the orchid sweater. It was meant to be. You look polished and modern in all of these, Suz, I find you inspirational!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375909 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 00:24:08 +0000 Carole 1375909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer x 10! These are all fantastic and not boyish at all! You are reminding me of a pair of oxfords I should drag out and start wearing. I sometimes felt a little "manly" in my oxfords but I think it just takes some getting used to and some fashion guts! You could be a model, Suz! Just gorgeous and I do love you in the skirt, too! All big winners here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375907 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 00:18:55 +0000 Anonymous 1375907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to pop back in here, but I didn't answer the real question you posted! &nbsp;No, these looks are NOT too boyish - and here's why: &nbsp;the tucks and semi-tucks are feminine, the crop- over- long is feminine, and the rest of the pairings are simply modern and androgynous. &nbsp;You could never look too boyish - your overall vibe and appearance read very feminine, pretty and composed. &nbsp;Makeup, hair, and slim figure all add up to distantly female . &nbsp;&nbsp; I know what you mean though, it's always a worry for us women with short hair and less traditionally feminine ways of dressing &nbsp;It will never be a worry for you.</p> <p>I keep clicking on the Reiss blazer pick. &nbsp;Boy I would love to have a black or navy tuxedo jacket, and that skid, and that Lucky jacket, and that orchid menswear sweater, and.........:)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375906 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 00:15:33 +0000 kerry 1375906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF in all of these outfits, Suz. There are no fashion missteps in your world! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375850 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 22:52:18 +0000 chouette22 1375850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous round of outfits, I love every single one. This style is SO perfect on you. You truly look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375845 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 22:43:03 +0000 Elly 1375845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these looks on you, Suz. I especially like 3,4,5-6. You are rocking your problem child pants here! Of course, I am biased because I love a baseball tee.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;I do get what you are saying, but you look like you are sampling some tomboy and menswear elements, not like you are trying to appear gender neutral. You still ooze femininity, esp. since most of your shoes (not the oxfords, but still) have a feminine side, even in menswear styles.</p> <p>&nbsp;I think I would prefer look 2 with different shoes, and I want to see blouse 1 under the sweater in look 2.</p> <p>&nbsp;Lucky girl with the JCrew find. You look great in that color --- I don't like it on me, so I probably won't ever find the fab bargain you did. I frequently try mens' garments in drapey fabrics because I get a great shoulder and sleeve fit and am almost always a men's medium!&nbsp;</p> <p>7 and 8 aren't my favorite because I don't love the color with the skinnies and black and I don't know that I love the sandal heels with the sweaters that are already layered--- it looks a little seasonally confused. I think I'd like 7 with your dark plaid pants though.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Nice party looks!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375836 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 22:32:57 +0000 Caro in Oz 1375836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too anything other than stylish - love them all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375796 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 21:22:31 +0000 Anonymous 1375796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every outfit is a home run Suz!! Beautiful and feminine and incredibly chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375771 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:40:42 +0000 Alassë 1375771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really, really like what you did with the bottom half of outfit 1, Suz. It's almost retro casual.</p> <p>Regarding your fear:&nbsp;I think those oxford outfits just look like you're having fun with your casual/boyish side. </p> <p>9/10 instantly made me think of Angie, and then I realized why -&nbsp;she likes midi skirts, jean jacket toppers, scrunched sleeves, and dainty shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375770 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:40:00 +0000 Suz 1375770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I have 3 different Kuts, LOL.&nbsp;</p> <p>Right now I have:&nbsp;</p> <p>1. White Kut Dianas (in my usual size)</p> <p>2. Dark plaid (grey) Kut Mias (in one size down from usual)</p> <p>3. Light plaid (yellow/ taupe/ red) Kut Mias (one size up from my usual for slouch)</p> <p>and now I have, winging their way to me:&nbsp;</p> <p>4. Dark plaid (grey) Kut Mias one size up from my usual.&nbsp;</p> <p>Phew!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375769 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:39:40 +0000 abc 1375769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I scrunch and roll. My favorite sentence of this post. :)</p> <p>You look feminine and chic. Not boyish at all. And those shoes remind me of my tricolor (black/white/cream) Jeffrey Campbell shoes I should break out again now that I have an idea of what can make them look more feminine - ankles and skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375767 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:35:43 +0000 catgirl 1375767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, so you will have 3 different sizes?&nbsp; You are triplicating?&nbsp; Fabbers gone wild! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375765 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:34:48 +0000 Suz 1375765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Una</b>, thanks! Those are your Kuts, yes, although mine are super snug because I sized down. I have also ordered a NEW pair in a size up!! They might not work -- Angie warned me last year that the fabric probably wouldn't lend itself to sizing up for slouch -- but I love them so much I wanted to give it a try. I'll go pick them up as soon as I can. (They are at the border).&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lyn</b>, I think it would take a very confident guy to wear this colour, but they do exist!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Shannon</b>, you said it!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie,</b> thank you! And I guess you would love 9/10 since I stole the look directly from you! You can't even call this a "copy" -- it's an outright theft, LOL.&nbsp;</p> <p>Which explains why you are admiring it, <b>Lisa</b>! Not my idea, alas! But I don't care since I am copying a real pro!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Denise,</b> thank you, and you raise a really good point about the skinnies. I was sort of "off" the sausage casing look, but I actually find that rolling them up at the ankles solves that for me personally, somehow. It brings a bit of balance. I don't know how I will manage that in winter aside from tucking into boots, but for now, it is a nice alternative.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375758 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:26:51 +0000 catgirl 1375758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is no such thing as too boyish.&nbsp; I think that's a different vibe from "manly" (not that there's anything wrong with that, a la Seinfeld!).&nbsp;&nbsp; You look fantastic.&nbsp; Are those the new Kuts I have?&nbsp; They look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375756 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:24:15 +0000 Lyn D. 1375756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't imagine a guy in your men's sweater- it is perfect for you!<br />Agree with you and CL re more fitted pants, they are still my favourite shape too.<br />All Fab outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375736 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 19:48:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1375736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie said it perfectly (doesn't she always?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boys-to-men#post-1375734 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 19:45:31 +0000 Suz 1375734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ruth, it is an XS.
