Especially given how hard it is to find a great fitting bra made by companies that SPECIALIZE in bras! The combination of your awesome bra with the great placement of the darker color in the top nip your waist in perfectly. There are NO apple tendencies in sight in this outfit. Wow.</p> <p>And since we are taking bras... On a side note, am I the only one here who purposefully leaves my bra on, changes into Jammie's or comfy clothes, and then does the whole Houdini act of taking the bra off and pulling it out of the neck hole just because I feel like I am doing a fabulous magic act? I can't help myself. And then I giggle. Because I am a spectacular magician. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-my-apple-tendancies-challenge-inspired#post-1171141 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 04:31:26 +0000 Anonymous 1171141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of my favorite outfits ever on you, Amy. Could you wear a long sleeved thin sweater under the ombré top for warmth? Making your own bra is so impressive! I've wondered how hard it would be to make a band tighter on an existing bra to get more life out of it. Is that possible? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-my-apple-tendancies-challenge-inspired#post-1171081 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 03:29:16 +0000 Jaime 1171081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an excellent silhouette for you Amiable!

I have to confess, it's hard for me to tell what I think. I don't know that I actually like this sweater for you.

I am right there with April in a trance!!</p> <p>I love how the ombre effect of the top darkens and then the effect is carried on by your pants!!

Definitely a successful experiment.&nbsp;Your hair's looking very nice as well: a flapper-esque bob. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-my-apple-tendancies-challenge-inspired#post-1170285 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:50:49 +0000 Anonymous 1170285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks really good! I like how your hair is coming along too. I think the ombre is a great choice also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-my-apple-tendancies-challenge-inspired#post-1170284 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:48:49 +0000 Suz 1170284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it totally works to flatter your shape! You look long and lean hear. The ombre top helps because the bottom is toned in to your trousers. And the lighter top brings attention to your face. Cool idea, Amy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-my-apple-tendancies-challenge-inspired#post-1170282 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:45:02 +0000 amiable 1170282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-april-challenges-deb">April's Challenge to Deb</a>&nbsp;was to look to Style Evolution for inspiration. &nbsp;When I visited the book, I clicked "surprise me" to preview a random page, and the first page up was on noticing your body type. &nbsp;The second page up was bra-fitting.</p> <p>I'm a rectangle with apple tendencies, so I decided to take inspiration from Angie's post.&nbsp;</p> <p>In keeping with both, I started with my best fitting bra. &nbsp;It's one I made myself, and I don't wear it very often because it has seamed cups, and I prefer the smooth contour of my tee-shirt bra. &nbsp;But I wore it anyway. &nbsp;</p> <p>Then I chose slim fitting pants, similar-toned shoes to further elongate my leg line, and a flowy sweater over it. &nbsp;</p> <p>(Please excuse the bits of my undershirt peeking out from my sleeves - I switched to a shorter-sleeved undershirt after I saw these pics).</p> <p>Overall, I think the silhouette of this outfit works, but it's just a little chilly for today, so I'm probably going to change tops to something warmer.</p> <p>What do you think? &nbsp;Fun challenge! </p>
