Someone told me that it is somehow fashionable this year to show the sides of your pretty bras. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1679130 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 00:33:16 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1679130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing a navy tank, Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678979 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 16:42:49 +0000 Tanya 1678979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits, both of them, great colors and fit. The dress looks really good and I love those fun sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678936 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 14:48:17 +0000 krissy751 1678936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving it! Those sandals are super cute!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678910 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 13:55:26 +0000 Angie 1678910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is fab on you. Are you wearing a black tank under the dress too? Cute sandals.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678876 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 12:37:29 +0000 lyn67 1678876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both! Dress is perfect (color and fit on the body-but you can always take in a bit under the armholes, on sides, if you were &nbsp;inclined so, &nbsp;for adjusting the deepness of the armholes to your needs-and then, no need of the extra tank underneath:-)). <br />Would also &nbsp;take in a bit of the width on the thighs for those pants, to have a more fitted silhouette, but that's only an YLF trained eye so not urgent, at all! &nbsp;YLF in both of these, esp love that sleeveless top in nr. 2!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678775 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 04:32:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1678775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in these shades of blue. I like the light blue, chic sandals with the simple yet bold cobalt dress. And Jenava has a good eye--I really like the second outfit, and I also like her suggestions for future consideration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678771 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 04:22:10 +0000 Caro in Oz 1678771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the second top - the fit &amp; the pattern look great. &nbsp;In my opinion the fit of the top at the armhole &amp; under-bust line are much better on you than the dress :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678728 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 02:08:42 +0000 JAileen 1678728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bandage sandals? Well, I like them. I'll bet they're comfortable, too. Too bad you have to wear another layer under the dress. That could make it too warm. Outfit #2 looks like you. Very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678713 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 01:59:25 +0000 Jaime 1678713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks terrific on you. Agree with Cocolion about the armholes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678710 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 01:57:02 +0000 rachylou 1678710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess the arm holes are large, but I really like the dress and on you. One worries about the tent effect, but this dress suggests a waist and fits well through the bust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678673 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 23:49:12 +0000 CocoLion 1678673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those chinos on you. &nbsp;I think they would look great with a gold top, sort of tonal with the chinos. &nbsp;I like you in blues too.</p> <p>Giant armholes have been fashionable for around 5 years. &nbsp;I am eagerly awaiting the end of this trend. &nbsp;It works for tiny busted women with long torsos, preferably without the need for a bra. &nbsp;That might have worked on me when I was 12, but that's it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678653 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 22:34:24 +0000 Jenava 1678653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a larger bust, also, so I can comiserate. &nbsp;I recently saw a photo of myself in a shorter-length crewneck tee and it was awful. &nbsp;So now I'm always on the lookout for things that aren't clingy but will show my figure beyond just my bust. &nbsp;V and scoop neckline help a lot, as does a tailored shoulder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678629 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 21:21:10 +0000 RobinF 1678629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these both look nice. I often have that problem with armholes these days, not sure why but lots of times I wear a tank under a sleeveless top so my bra doesn't show. Love the blues on you, they are a great color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678614 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 20:53:32 +0000 MsGreer 1678614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colors. Those sandles are totally cute, I've never seen these, Where did you get them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678612 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 20:10:26 +0000 Anonymous 1678612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both &nbsp;Great colours for you, and good basic summer outfits. &nbsp;Perfect sandals in the first pic too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678609 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 19:54:21 +0000 Sheila 1678609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! I have the same exact dress and I want to assure you that it definitely isn't you -- those armholes are ENORMOUS! I wore it once and couldn't take off my blazer the whole time because the armholes just kept sagging lower and lower! I was thinking of trying the dress with a sports bra...and only wearing it around the house when the weather is hot. Which doesn't happen a lot here in Seattle!</p> <p>The color is fantastic and it's hard to find in affordable garments. I do like your other outfit also, perfect for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678601 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 19:22:17 +0000 Suz 1678601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cobalt is beautiful on you and I agree with Jeneva that this cut is flattering. I am sure it was welcome in the heat. The sandals are unique and fun!&nbsp;</p> <p>The pattern on the top in #2 is terrific on you -- it's energetic and lively. I think it's worth altering a bit as you lose weight so you can keep as long as possible.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678600 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 19:19:25 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1678600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Jenava, I have a poison eye&nbsp;for *everything on a larger bust. </p> <p>I would like the bottom in #2 to be more streamlined, also. When I'm a size or so smaller, it will be. I haven't worn cropped chinos for a long time just because I've gained weight, but when I found these that fit JFE I decided to go for it. The more I wear stuff in my comfort zone (blues, preppy, solids with one pattern), the more compliments I get in real life. I think you're right about the length of the top, and I will get on that with my seamstress!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678597 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 19:12:55 +0000 Jenava 1678597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress and sandals are lovely! &nbsp;I have a bit of a poison eye for swing dresses on a larger bust, but this one seems to be fitted a bit below the bust, so it's not turning me off. &nbsp;I like the lighter blue sandals with the royal blue. &nbsp;The second outfit I think would look cute with a bit of a more streamlined bottom and maybe a slightly shorter top? &nbsp;But overall, you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-and-navy#post-1678594 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 19:04:36 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1678594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As promised, here's what I wore this weekend. Cobalt jersey dress from Old Navy (with a thin navy tank under it because my size is cut too deep in the armholes for my short torso), with what I call my 'bandage sandals" and nearly invisible teal earrings, to a graduation party in the heat. Cropped khakis with a navy/white dotted tank from G.H. Bass, and the same sandals and pearls. Keepin' it real, as the hoodlums on instagram say.</p>
