My favorite of your outfits. The sweater is also a great color for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-827158 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 03:23:24 +0000 Thistle 827158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the Amelia Earhart inspired looks. She was hero of mine growing up. That rust color looks great you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-827152 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 03:08:07 +0000 amiable 827152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just tied the scarf in a half-hitch knot (I think that's what it's called? Like the first step to tying a shoe). So I agree, there's probably a lot of better knots out there! I liked the ends hanging down, because I don't especially like the buttons on the shirt, and I wanted to hide them :)</p> <p>Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-827149 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 03:03:19 +0000 pil 827149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you take the collar and cuffs off the rust sweater, I can even see it with the elements in your Amelia look - which I think is really nice on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-827137 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 02:52:51 +0000 Jenava 827137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, but I do agree w Aida - try a men's tie knot with the scarf so the ends "point" down. It will give it a more refined look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-827135 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 02:52:08 +0000 Jenava 827135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I love both of these as is, particulary the first one, and especially with the jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-827066 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 01:46:34 +0000 Aida 827066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your Amelia inspired outfit, tuck and all! I can't quite tell how you've tied the scarf, but I think tying it like a men's tie would be really sweet with that outfit; it would also streamline the scarf a bit. The chambray works nicely to my eye, but a silk blouse would also look great; would give the look a more feminine and soft vibe, which could be great balanced against all the more mannish elements. For the second sweater, if you like the faux collar and cuffs then it's fine to wear the sweater just like that! Unless you're finding yourself wishing to layer the sweater over other tops often, in which case you could probably snip those out easily enough. The rust color looks great on you! Off the top of my head I quite like the idea of pairing it with blue denim and white for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826987 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:16:24 +0000 moira 826987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You done Amelia proud. I love #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826924 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 22:13:45 +0000 Tina.b 826924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your Amelia inspired outfit is quite cool. I like the idea of the silk shirt with it or maybe a different scarf with the chambray shirt. I think it is great that you are using a personna to emulate, that will give you so much inspiration. Look forward to more of your looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826893 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:48:05 +0000 Beth Ann 826893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think your Amelia outfit works quite well --- I agree with MaryK to try the scart with a slightly different tie. I'm another vote for ripping out the cuff/collar with the sweater for more versatility if you're not loving it as is.</p> <p>I think you might be a natural at semi-tuck and Angie's faux tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826794 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:31:30 +0000 amiable 826794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and thank you for pointing out what's wrong - please keep it up! I don't notice things like that on my own (especially proportion is way over my head right now), and I want to learn! I was happy in this outfit because of the inspiration, not because I think it worked especially well (I doubt I'd know if it did or didn't, to be honest - that's why I'm eager to learn from you all) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826791 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:26:43 +0000 amiable 826791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll try them both - I think this shirt might be a bit billowy for untucked, but I know the semi-tuck works well for me. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826784 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:20:06 +0000 MsMary 826784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Untucked would be good -- or have you tried a semi-tuck? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826775 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:11:20 +0000 amiable 826775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Would un-tucked be better on #1-2 also? (Less true to the inspiration, but MaryK, you are teaching me that inspiration is really all about making the look your own. I certainly don't have that down.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826748 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:53:17 +0000 MsMary 826748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I wonder whether 1/2 might look more current with the scarf tied differently, like one of these? <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/151503974936512495/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/151503974936512495/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826741 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:49:48 +0000 rachylou 826741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! I like the collar/cuffs... even if they do take away the versatility. It's a good looking sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826696 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:17:05 +0000 amiable 826696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah Ceit, I'm thinking that I might - I could wear it over almost anything if I did... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826695 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:12:51 +0000 Anonymous 826695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you take out the faux collar and cuffs? That rust colour does look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-channelling-amelia-and-visiting-orphans#post-826691 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:10:26 +0000 amiable 826691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 - #2:<br /> Finally, an Amelia Earhart inspired outfit: Wide, straight-legged pants, a button-down (tucked in) with a scarf and a sorta-bomber jacket. In my version, the pants are olive, the shirt is chambray, and the jacket isn't really a bomber jacket, but I like it anyway. The scarf is bright-multicolored (with a heavy olive dominance), and oxfords for her menswear shoes. The happiness factor of this outfit was high, but I think it could be improved with a silk button-down shirt instead. What else do you see that should be improved?</p> <p>#3: I tried on several closet orphans this morning trying to figure out what to wear. I landed on this sweater with built-in cuffs and collar. It annoys me because it seems so un-versatile with the collar and cuffs already there. But I love the rust-color. What are it's styling options? It is worth keeping? </p>
