I will definitely have to repeat this outfit. (Usually I'm more of a remixer than repeater.)</p> <p>Suz, I have a short neck and small, wideset bust, so I sort of came to round necklines by default! Turtlenecks are out, shallow v necks look very unflattering&nbsp;on me (which I learned just from trying them on and being horrified in dressing rooms, lol), and narrow, deeper ones are a bit revealing for my style, although they mainly reveal my utter absence of cleavage, hehe. Things like surplice or wraps just emphasise my small chest in a non-flattering way. (I don't mind being small busted, now that I've figured out how to dress with that in mind I actually quite like it, but I spent my teenage years in utter self conscious embarrassment&nbsp;about it.)&nbsp;I like necklines that cut straight across too, I think they're called square? The contrast between the straight line and my chest is flattering when I want to look curvier, since my chest starts curving high up.&nbsp;But they're more difficult to find, and I don't usually want to look curvy.&nbsp;So I end up in crewnecks and round scoops most of the time. Trial and error has made me realise that collared shirts really only flatter me when the collar is round; I don't know why that is though. I love peter pan collars but don't come across many.&nbsp;Most of my collared shirts are pointier and most of them are orphans so I'm trying to figure that out at the moment. I think it has to do with my small neck and round face. I should do a post trying to rehab my collared shirt orphans to get forum advice! I have no clue if that was helpful or not...it's funny I'm both an analytical and mood dresser so when I write my posts I'm kind of retrospectively voicing thoughts that when I was actually getting dressed were much more hazy/instinctive. But I'm very analytical about wardrobe building so that's why I've tried to figure out what clothes work best for me since they'll get worn the most! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fairy-tale-inspired#post-1095484 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 13:28:33 +0000 gryffin 1095484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely love this on you!!&nbsp; Fairy tale inspired yes, but practical and modern too, which is quite the coup!!&nbsp; Love your delicate top, pin, skirt and sash but our practical princess in those boots, socks and tights.&nbsp; Love the hat, jacket and how it's romantic and sleek.&nbsp; You have absolute nailed this look!!&nbsp; enjoy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fairy-tale-inspired#post-1095477 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 13:19:40 +0000 Diana 1095477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE everything about this.

I love the pairing of the bee and top. And the final look (outerwear) steals my heart completely. The boots are working brilliantly for you with tights and socks. I wish this could work better for my legs and my style -- might be easier to solve my dark opaque tights woes...</p> <p>What made you decide on wide round necklines for yourself as best? You've thought through so many elements of your style so carefully -- I'll bet your thinking process could be valuable to others.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fairy-tale-inspired#post-1095468 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 13:10:17 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1095468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love love love this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fairy-tale-inspired#post-1095464 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 13:06:13 +0000 Kristin L 1095464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!

The pattern of the shirt is lovely and again I love the colors. Also like that you matched the scarf to the tights. I'm glad the boots worked, I'm always feeling the same taking new shoes out for a spin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fairy-tale-inspired#post-1095455 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 12:42:48 +0000 E 1095455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After Thursday's blah outfit, I knew I wanted to feel good yesterday! It was around 70F/22C when I got dressed, so I wanted a longer sleeve cotton top, and I just adore the pattern and colours&nbsp;and subtly decorated neckline&nbsp;on this one. It's a floral, but more vines than flowers, and makes me think of Sleeping Beauty/Briar . Of course my bumblebee couldn't resist the flowers! Accompanying her&nbsp;was a silver ornate-ish bangle to pick up the print more and my blue pearl ring for the colour (I almost always wear a bracelet and ring, otherwise my hands look strangely bare to me).&nbsp;I paired the top&nbsp;with a full skirt, because full skirts seem more fairy tale like to me, and picked this navy blue one specifically because it fits perfectly with no fussing and to enhance the blue of the top.&nbsp;Then I&nbsp;couldn't resist indulging my match matchy tendencies and&nbsp;&nbsp;picking up the dark pink/red colour of the flowers with my tights. They were lightweight, so I figured I wouldn't overheat. I was still in a whimsical mood, so I finished things off with a silk sash tied in a bow; I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea but I don't mind looking&nbsp;cute in my everyday life (of course if I were in&nbsp;a more formal&nbsp;situation I'd aim for&nbsp;something more sophisticated)&nbsp;and big floppy bows just make me happy.</p> <p>Surprisingly enough, a front moved in, and by the time I left for my errands it was actually a cold low 40s F/5-6C (vs south Texas it-dropped-below-70/22-so-better-wear-my-winter-stuff-before-it-heats-up-again cool, lol)! My errands were all indoors though, and I knew there'd be central heating involved, so I didn't change or grab my heaviest outerwear. Instead I put on a lightweight but warm puffy jacket that I'm pretty sure is actually from a children's line&nbsp;(the tag says xl) but oh well! (I have no clue why it's sticking out in the profile pic; it doesn't usually do that so I must have caught it up somehow when I was fighting with my camera remote.)&nbsp;And of course I had to wear my new, YLF-approved ankle&nbsp;boots. I threw on grey wool socks since my tights were fairly thin, and I didn't want my feet to freeze. Since I was in fully on matchy matchy mode at this point, I bookended my shoes with my grey hat and my tights with a burgundy scarf. It was the perfect level of warmth&nbsp;without overheating, thank goodness.&nbsp;Later in the day when I went for my walk, I put on my wool-lined knee high boots and long navy blue wool coat for more insulation, but I thought 2 outerwear pics in one post was excessive.</p> <p>I felt wonderful in this outfit: completely me, completely comfortable, and as if I could conquer the world or at least twirl through it. My boots were super comfy for the 4 hours of errands; I'm always terrified the first time I wear shoes out of the house in case they turn out to have problems when it's too late to return them, so that was just icing on the cake. With that said, all comments and suggestions more than welcome! My feelings won't be&nbsp;hurt if you think this was an overload of twee-ness or something. </p>
