I think we automatically focus on the aspect of ourselves that we consider less good but other people don't do that when they look at us. Just flattering enough is a&nbsp;brilliant balance for that too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough/page/2#post-1217939 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 01:45:49 +0000 shiny 1217939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do get what you are saying about not flattering enough -- reading your description alone.&nbsp;I can imagine myself arguing with Angie the very exact same reasons this would not be flattering enough on me either, since we have similar shoulders/neck. But then I looked at the photos and&nbsp;see you in this and ...&nbsp;&nbsp;it IS flattering --&nbsp;and WAY&nbsp;more than enough! You look gorgeous and stunning. Very inspirational for me. </p> <p>*ban the self talk and just try the darn thing on*</p> <p>My second reaction was... wow, this could maybe work with flares. White denim flares. Maybe I'm losing it because it's been a long day. I guess what I'm seeing is that flattery is not just shape, it's color too. And you rock those colors. Love the shoes and how they pick up the colors in the top, and draw attention to your face. I'm wondering now what would happen with loose/flowy &amp; white all the way down?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217915 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 01:17:43 +0000 K.

White moto).&nbsp;</p> <p>Love this blouse on you so much, K. It tickles my toes. Actually, your IT shoulders carry the silhouette very well. And I'm touched that you wore this outfit for me. It's a stunningly killer floral.&nbsp;xo&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217584 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:47:25 +0000 Rusty 1217584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning ! And those shoes ! Your "flattering enough" is pretty fab if you ask me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217580 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:43:59 +0000 K. Period. 1217580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Sharon, the auto-correct color correction is throwing the color of both the boots and the jacket off pretty severely. &nbsp;IRL they are a cool-ish gray tan (which Angie calls "donkey") and raspberry. &nbsp;I promise, much much more subtle in person!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217579 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:41:56 +0000 annagybe 1217579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Raspberry works, totally works!<br /> Just add white moto and bam! Perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217577 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:40:50 +0000 K. Period. 1217577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, sadly the boots are raspberry rather than hot pink! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217576 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:40:09 +0000 E 1217576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the print on the blouse &amp; how you've paired it with bright pink shoes! Have you tried a jacket that's a bit more open at the top vs the moto collar being quite close and competing with the blouse's neckline a bit? I'm far from a jacket expert though, so I could be completely wrong!</p> <p>I love the just flattering enough concept too, although in my case I suspect that often plays out in a 'frumpy but cute' manner. hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217564 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:23:50 +0000 Sharon 1217564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks great and the overall look is actually very flattering. I like the jacket with the top, but not with the boots - the different colours give my eyes too much to do. Maybe try it with that jacket and different shoes? Or keep the boots but a black, white or blush jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217561 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:23:12 +0000 catgirl 1217561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am right with you on JFE.&nbsp; Sometimes I'm not even that.&nbsp; But it's what I aim for, as taking it the next notch up to Truly Flattering requires disproportionate effort-to-reward ratio for me.&nbsp; You look Just Perfect to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217560 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:22:07 +0000 annagybe 1217560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please tell me the shoes are pink!<br /> I think the shirt works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217540 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:10:10 +0000 carambola 1217540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous.

Fantastic boots, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217510 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 19:41:07 +0000 rachylou 1217510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's sophisticated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217497 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 19:27:23 +0000 Janet 1217497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I love. Very nice! I think it's quite flattering, but ask a pear-ish hourglass like me about flattering, and we'd generally love the chance to embrace a little shoulder emphasis. ;-)&nbsp;</p> <p>The top is beautiful, and I agree that a blush or white jacket would be awesome with this, and on your coloring. Fabalicious boots too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217495 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 19:24:43 +0000 Lisa 1217495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous print on this top, and fun paired with the red shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217490 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 19:19:20 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1217490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done, this is a great look. How is it that nobody has asked yet about the pink bootlets? I wouldn't be able to rock those, but you can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217483 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 19:09:38 +0000 Suz 1217483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-with-angie-what-we-learned?replies=22#post-1217482">This one!&nbsp;</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217479 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 19:04:28 +0000 K. Period. 1217479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW what a boost! Thanks, everyone, for all the super nice and rapid fire comments and compliments! &nbsp;I'm actually a little amazed.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, absolutely, but I'm puzzled by which ones you mean! Absolutely! I will do my best to try to figure out a way to describe the magic that is shopping with Angie. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217472 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 19:01:08 +0000 Suz 1217472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh, I don't think it's flattering enough.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's almost <b>TOO </b>flattering!! You need to send that top to me instead. :)</p> <p>What a fabulous outfit and fabulous post. May I add your comments here to my "Shopping with Angie: What we Learned" thread? And will you add some more pearls of wisdom from your personal experience?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217471 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:58:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1217471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG!!! Too gorgeous for words K. And I think you need a blush jacket AND a white jacket - lol!</p> <p>I'm another one who is a huge fan of the "flattering enough" concept. Sometimes we fall in love with items that aren't ever going to be perfect 10's for us but can still work beautifully in our wardrobes and make us happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217466 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:53:29 +0000 Aida 1217466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah cross posted!

Period. 1217463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Aida, temptress! I would love a blush jacket. &nbsp;I'm actually really wanting a white moto too. &nbsp;Because, you know, the billion I have aren't enough.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217462 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:51:20 +0000 Beth Ann 1217462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K.&nbsp; I love it with the jacket -- earth tones are great for grounding big prints.&nbsp; I'm not bothered by the shoulder line at all -- I think it takes a strong shoulder to take a dropped seam, actually.&nbsp; You could semi-tuck to soften the line or wear with a less "skinny" bottom, but I don't feel those changes are necessary -- I like the silhouette as is.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-angie-just-flattering-enough#post-1217461 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:51:17 +0000 Anonymous 1217461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved reading your description of how your outfit works and it works really well. That's a lovely top and I can see why you wanted it. The jeans and shoes look great with it. </p>
