But I *hate* the feeling of blouse sleeves bunching under cardi sleeves so I understand. And your analysis of the problems&nbsp;seems like it will be helpful for you in the future when getting dressed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-dont-like#post-1082533 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:15:40 +0000 Anonymous 1082533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cardi. Can you unbutton the bottom a couple to echo the V-neck? I have had those days too, hope you aren't too bothered until you can get home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-dont-like#post-1082520 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:59:25 +0000 AviaMariah 1082520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if you would feel more comfortable in it if you just had a plain cami under the cardigan instead of the blouse. &nbsp;I tend to be a minimalist too and that's probably how I'd feel comfortable wearing it. &nbsp;It's a very pretty cardigan - I could see it with lighter colored bottoms too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-dont-like#post-1082507 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:52:13 +0000 Neel 1082507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit looks good in the pic and I wouldn't have noticed anything if you hadn't said it (and some I still can't see like the fit of the blouse). &nbsp;But I do understand your concerns and how it has an effect on how you feel about your outfit! &nbsp;Nice smile even with all those issues by the way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-but-dont-like#post-1082503 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:45:04 +0000 Emily 1082503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess you can't win 'em all. &nbsp;Objectively speaking this outfit isn't terrible, but I feel kind of bleh in it and that's not how I want to feel when I walk out the door.</p> <p>WIW: <br />Printed Cardigan - Rickis<br />Striped Button Down -&nbsp;&nbsp;Smart Set<br />Gray Textured Trousers - RW&amp;Co<br />Black Snake Textured Booties - Rockport</p> <p>So here's what I don't like about this:&nbsp;<br />1. &nbsp;The blouse doesn't fit well.&nbsp;&nbsp;I rescued it from the donate pile one morning when I was behind on laundry and I think it needs to go back there. &nbsp;It's slightly too snug in the chest and the sleeves are too bulky under a cardigan.<br />2. &nbsp;Too much going on (for me). &nbsp;The blouse is striped, the pants are textured, the cardigan is printed, the boots are textured. &nbsp;I'd feel more myself if one of those elements were solid.<br />3. &nbsp;The pants violate PPL. &nbsp;I always forget until I have them on! &nbsp;I need to have the hem let down a cm or so, I think.</p> <p>In any case, lessons learned! &nbsp;I didn't have time to change - in fact I barely had time to take a decent picture. &nbsp;I did tug my blouse straight so it wasn't wrinkled oddly at the neckline before I ran out the door.</p>
