The fit and proportion of this outfit are spot on, and you don't look washed out to me. I think Joy and Beth Ann are right about adding a belt to #2, but other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bwb-again-with-arm-party#post-838010 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 12:53:30 +0000 amiable 838010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Beth Ann - I've been considering looking back at my old WIW so that I can see the progress I've made. But I'm afraid it would embarrass me to see what I actually thought looked good a few months ago. LOL. I think I'll just accept that I know I'm learning stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bwb-again-with-arm-party#post-837905 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 05:35:46 +0000 Beth Ann 837905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mediocre? Not hardly. Look at how much better your fits are these days! The jacket is a great fit. I think pairing it with a mandardin collar really works here! And the trouser jeans are a great choice for the jacket. </p> <p>I think a belt in #2 might make create a stronger "finish" for the outfit. I agree that blue is probably a better color for you than black near your face, but your complexion is quite peaches and cream -- a good thing. You're fair, but not washed out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bwb-again-with-arm-party#post-837896 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 05:02:44 +0000 amiable 837896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea Joy, Thank you - the top does have lots of texture (it's eyelet)</p> <p>Good suggestion Adelfa - I think you mistake my cluelessness for adventure, but I'll accept being an inspiration anyway :)</p> <p>And Deb, yes, I'm almost 5'9", so sorta tall. Thanks for the compliment - I like having long legs My skin is fair too - maybe that's why I require color near my face! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bwb-again-with-arm-party#post-837891 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:56:34 +0000 Deborah 837891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>imiable are you tall? Your legs always look so long:) I do like neutrals and this looks simple and put together to me. A patterned scarf with some colour could look good to and provide the lift you are looking for. I can easily looked washed out being fair skinned and make up helps if not some colour in my outfits:) You look good and love the arm party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bwb-again-with-arm-party#post-837888 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:51:12 +0000 Adelfa 837888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amiable, I think it might be worth trying a topper that contrasted more with the jeans. In the photos at least the jacket tones with the jeans almost creating a suit effect. </p> <p>I love your sense of adventure! You inspire me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bwb-again-with-arm-party#post-837860 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:19:14 +0000 Anonymous 837860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your white top has lots of texture. I think I'd add a belt to #2 rather than a scarf. Your arm party is pretty and adds sparkle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bwb-again-with-arm-party#post-837854 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:10:40 +0000 amiable 837854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In honor of Imogen's FABuary challenge, I sported an arm party yesterday.</p> <p>Here's her arm party post:<br /> <a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2013/02/arm-candy-fabruary-style-challenge.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......lenge.html</a></p> <p>My arm party - a sparkly blue and black (with a accents in red and yellow) bangle, went with another version of Black/White/Blue from Angie, here:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/01/28/formula-blue-topper-white-layer-and-black-bottoms/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2013/01/.....k-bottoms/</a></p> <p>But I did it in the more-predictable way, blue (jeans) on bottom, with black over white on top. I didn't like it as well as I liked the blue jacket. I think that somehow, having both black and white (and probably to the absence of other colors) near my face, makes me washed out. So I felt like this was a fairly mediocre outfit. </p> <p>Am I right? I'm guessing this could be improved by a colored scarf, or by a colored, instead of black jacket. What other suggestions do you have?</p> <p>And pardon my attempts to use the self-timer on my camera phone app to my advantage. Those are shadows of paper snowflakes that the kids made and taped to the windows in pic #2. </p>
