The white shirt is better and maybe it might help the proportions if the cuffs were rolled a wee bit higher , so there is not such a deep white band of material challenging the cropped sleeves.<br /> I love this look and will be trying it myself. I appreciate the sensible suggestions you've recieved from the forum. Aren't they a great bunch? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1220039 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 23:04:12 +0000 Aida 1220039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy you're so leggy I think you need an even longer top still. The white shirt version looks a lot better though. Getting closer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219626 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:44:16 +0000 Jules 1219626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White shirt and skinnies for the win... love this take!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219606 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:30:47 +0000 greenglove 1219606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say exactly what Angie said (honestly!)<br />A longer top.<br />I also think a slightly fitted or aline top with a shirtail hem works with&nbsp; a boxy crop.<br />It is a tricky thing to do, like in art, an inch or two in one direction makes all the difference in both design and proportion in clothing.<br />Love the look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219574 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:42:02 +0000 amiable 1219574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay - I'm trying a few new combos of this. &nbsp;But I still kinda think they don't work. &nbsp;Am I right? &nbsp;&nbsp;I may have to watch for longer shirts, and different cropped sweaters, because I love the idea of this formula so much&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219479 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 14:13:05 +0000 amiable 1219479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the suggestions! &nbsp;As soon as I get a chance, I'll hop up and look for a longer shirt as an underlayer, then take a new pic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219449 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:53:07 +0000 JenA 1219449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blouse! And I think these pants are really flattering on you.&nbsp;I'm wondering if the high contrast between the blouse and black sweater&nbsp;is part of the issue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219448 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:52:17 +0000 Angie 1219448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great effort.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the blouse is a little short for the layered effect&nbsp;and lower crotch point of the jeans. Try a longer under layer, Amy. You are almost there. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219442 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:46:29 +0000 Emily 1219442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not loving the proportions either, but the print on the blouse is really pretty and springy. &nbsp;I think both the sweater and top may&nbsp;need to be a touch longer. A&nbsp;long sleeved sweater or a longer, sleeveless top underneath this sweater might be worth a shot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219430 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:37:27 +0000 amiable 1219430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forgot to take a side view - the floral shirt has a bit of a hi-low hem, and is longer and curved in the back.</p> <p>I think you're right that traditional shirt tails would help the shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219421 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:29:31 +0000 Helena 1219421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute - but my expertise level on trends is low, so take that for what it's worth! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219418 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:27:26 +0000 carambola 1219418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the BF jeans and oxfords. I like the cropped sweater and I think a longer shirt with a more traditional shirttail might help the proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219409 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:16:13 +0000 Golden 1219409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the proportions are off too, the sweater looks a bit too short to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-springy#post-1219408 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:14:30 +0000 amiable 1219408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an attempt at the Cropped sweater over longer shirt ensemble. &nbsp;I'm not sure I got it, nor am I sure that this particular cropped sweater is a good choice for trying this way.</p> <p>But I figured it's worth a try, and you all could set me straight :)</p> <p>Black cropped sweater over a bright floral buttondown, with full-length boyfriend jeans (so that I can wear socks), and black pointy-toe oxfords (with a mid heel)</p> <p>Does it work? I feel like the proportions are off.... </p> </p> <p>ETA: Here's another attempt - one with a longer shirt (which is a bit too stiff to be worn this way, I suspect), and the same two shirts with a different pair of jeans - this one without the slouch). &nbsp; &nbsp;What do you think? &nbsp;(I'm pretty convinced that no, they don't especially work)</p>
