I like the BF jeans but not with that sweater somehow the proportions look wrong. I think the red sweater has a too high neck which doesn't do you any favours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-too-much-stress#post-1200144 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:27:40 +0000 Anonymous 1200144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all work well with a minor exception for 3 where I feel the same as the others and would prefer a different shoe.

Hang in there. I like the BF jeans in #2 so much, can you tell me what brand/style those are-- I think I should try those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-too-much-stress#post-1199724 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 05:39:14 +0000 Marley 1199724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 - gorgeous - the soft colors are really pretty on you.<br />#2 - that shade of green is definitely one of your best colors!&nbsp; This is a really great outfit - only thing I would change is to wear the BF jeans just a little bit lower on my hips so that they hung just a little bit more loosely<br />3# - I like heeled shoes with bootcut jeans - so, I agree with you that the BFs are working better than the bootcuts<br />#4 - this look is just a matter of preference.&nbsp; For me, the neckline on the top doesn't work with the jacket - unless you pop the jacket collar like . . . <br />#5 - I think it works much better here!&nbsp; Wish I could say why for sure - but I think it has something to do with the popped jacket collar framing your neck in a different way than when the collar is lying down flat.</p> <p>Have fun in Toronto! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-too-much-stress#post-1199687 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 04:04:46 +0000 Jaime 1199687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these look good to me.

My favorite outfit of the group is 2...bright green and boyfriends, what's not to love? I'd also like to see your jacket in 4 with the green pullover. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-too-much-stress#post-1199603 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:51:01 +0000 shiny 1199603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 &nbsp;works just fine to me - maybe your eye just needs to adjust? If anything, a controlled pop of discrete color might pull it all together, something as simple as a bracelet or watch in say blue or green or red.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 - awesome jeans and sweater! YLF in green!&nbsp;How does that outfit look with jacket from 4-5 over it? Not that your daily demands require it, I am just curious.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 hard from the pic to see difference with these jeans, I think it's how you are standing differently. If baby boot cuts, I find they need a bit of heel. Do you agree? Wider boot cuts can work with Con's, but baby boot cuts not so much. I love baby boot cuts but they do seem to limit the shoe option. Which is probably why fashion trends gravitated towards skinnies/cuffed boyfriends.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4-5 - I adore #5 with collar popped. Such a great blazer! Also I really love these jeans on you - relaxed skinny perfection.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-too-much-stress#post-1199574 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:36:59 +0000 Emily 1199574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my very favourite, but these are all great FFBOs. &nbsp;Looking forward to the 29th! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-too-much-stress#post-1199568 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:34:06 +0000 Anonymous 1199568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the stress -- hope it gets better soon.</p> <p>I really love #1 and the green sweater is so pretty with both pairs of jeans. I like the last one too, but one thing I noticed is that the sweater seems to be a cable-knit, right? I wonder if that's making it feel kind of casual for the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-too-much-stress#post-1199567 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 01:34:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1199567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you've got so much going on Amy - I hope things settle down for you soon.</p> <p>I'm totally smitten with outfits 2 and 3.

(I even missed a couple of days taking WIW pics).</p> <p>Here's what I've tossed on with little premeditation.</p> <p>#1 Light-out - light gray boyfriend jeans with white (and silver sparkle striped) sweater. &nbsp;I thought it worked in person, but in the pic, I feel like I need lower-contrast hair for it to work properly. &nbsp;(Or a higher contrast outfit)</p> <p>#2 green sweater and bf jeans. &nbsp;I love these jeans so much.</p> <p>#3 same sweater, this time with baby-boot cut (or maybe they're straight leg?) jeans. &nbsp;I liked the bf jeans better with this sweater.</p> <p>#4-5 skinnies with a fuschia sweater and a jacket. &nbsp;Not sure this one worked.</p> <p>All comments are welcome - I especially like to know what works and doesn't, so that I can keep improving.</p> <p> </p>
