You were hard on yourself. Pretty in pink </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352487 Thu, 19 May 2011 13:33:04 +0000 yankeebelle 352487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice outfit! Love the cardy and its color, especially with the coloring of the pants. And I really like those flats you've picked out! I agree that the color you chose will go with a ton! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352481 Thu, 19 May 2011 13:22:41 +0000 krishnidoux 352481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ButterflyLady, the stores I mentioned are mid-range. Not high end boutiques that will ruin your wallet, but not the bargain places geared at younger crowds either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352467 Thu, 19 May 2011 11:50:09 +0000 ButterflyLady 352467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are right krishnidoux - I am in the UK though, so will have to shop the UK stores! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352464 Thu, 19 May 2011 11:00:46 +0000 krishnidoux 352464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe what you need is a style change. The current one obviously work really well for you, but it seems you want to move on. I would suggest an afternoon for yourself. going to stores such as Club Monaco, Clio, Talbots, etc... (not the cheaper ones at this stage). Try things there. Buy maybe one piece that is out of your style comfort zone but that speaks to you. Before buying, make sure of the return policy. Go home, try it with various other pieces from your closet. Post results! You may have to do a few returns before you find what is in your heart.</p> <p>Cheers x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352430 Thu, 19 May 2011 07:17:01 +0000 ButterflyLady 352430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you - everyone. I think I'm bored with my clothes - I do make things last - cardigan about 4 years old, pants about the same, cami even older!</p> <p>Aida - I will fiddle with the white balance - it's a new camera and I haven't quite worked it out yet. Thank you.</p> <p>The cardigan - it has a sort of scoop neck, and I am not sure it will work with just the middle buttons buttoned - I will try though, next time I wear it. The necklace does sit above the neckline of the cami, but I would like to try a longer necklace and am on the look out for one (went to the charity shop yesterday looking for jewellery and came back with a top!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352300 Wed, 18 May 2011 23:58:27 +0000 Aida 352300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty colors, and great wide legs! Another vote for buttoning the cardigan in the middle, or possibly belting it open as well. For your photos, can you set your white balance either to "auto" or to "outdoor" if you're using all natural light or "incandescent" if you're using all indoor light? That should solve the blue issue </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352271 Wed, 18 May 2011 22:46:46 +0000 krishnidoux 352271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice, you wear it very well. simple, sleek and well fitting. I love the watch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352264 Wed, 18 May 2011 22:34:31 +0000 Carole 352264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nice combination of texture and color Blylady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352259 Wed, 18 May 2011 22:27:02 +0000 Linn 352259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely - the colors compliment you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352212 Wed, 18 May 2011 20:41:48 +0000 amyreh 352212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty color! I agree on leaving the cardigan open or only buttoning the middle. I would love to see a longer necklace with this, that necklace is cute, but seems to fall at an awkward place for the shirt - but that might just be the picture angle. Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352210 Wed, 18 May 2011 20:36:56 +0000 san 352210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice fabric of the pants. I think Angie calls that a false plain which seems to add texture. I'm always looking for fabrics that add texture with out being over done.<br /> You have some great suggestions here. Your color combo is very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352197 Wed, 18 May 2011 20:04:28 +0000 Lisa 352197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous color cardigan on you. I think metallic flats are very neutral and will work well anytime you want to wear black shoes, you can grab the metallic one's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352123 Wed, 18 May 2011 17:17:13 +0000 Inge 352123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a lovely outfit, I really like the softer, lighter colours together (you look great in pink). I was also going to suggest trying the cardigan buttoned with the middle button only.</p> <p>The flats you linked too will absolutely function as a neutral and they look comfy too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352068 Wed, 18 May 2011 14:34:51 +0000 Lynne 352068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear this outfit in a heartbeat - I love the yummy pink with the soft neutrals. I saw these in Clarks yesterday, too, they're lovely IRL:<br /> <a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/department-is-women/mcrproductsubtype-is-pumps/product-is-20343443" rel="nofollow">http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/d.....s-20343443</a></p> <p>Thx for posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352043 Wed, 18 May 2011 13:54:32 +0000 Kappy 352043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great! I like the sandals with it, but sounds like it might be too chilly for you. Those look like cute flats too. Can you adjust your necklace a tiny bit shorter? You can't quite make it all out. Oh, just re-read your description ... I thought it might be on a chain, I know the leather necklace can be hard to adjust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352036 Wed, 18 May 2011 13:43:54 +0000 modgrl 352036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is lovely. I would maybe try a pearl, gold or silver longish necklace and keep the cardigan either unbottoned or only buttoned in the middle. Also, you could try pointy toe shoes to elongate your legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352035 Wed, 18 May 2011 13:43:21 +0000 Aunty 352035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a great outfit! The ballet shoes would be perfect </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-352003 Wed, 18 May 2011 11:31:23 +0000 chouette22 352003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely outfit, ButterflyLady. The cardigan is a perfect fit. Great layering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-may-18-suggestionsinput-welcome#post-351997 Wed, 18 May 2011 10:54:30 +0000 ButterflyLady 351997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still working on getting better photos, sorry!</p> <p>1 and 2 - Coral/dusty pink cardigan - Coast. Taupe linen mix pants - Next, ivory cami - Marks and Spencer, gold flat sandals - Next (really, really old!), mother of pearl butterfly on neutral leather necklace - Debenhams (all UK stores).</p> <p>3 - close up of sandals as I don't seem to be able to get my whole self in the photo.</p> <p>I've worked out a big wardrobe hole - I need some comfortable flat ballet shoes - and I have a pair of sandals to return so I think I will try these (metallic colour so hopefully work work as a neutral?!) <a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/department-is-women/mcrproductsubtype-is-pumps/product-is-20343276" rel="nofollow">http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/d.....s-20343276</a></p> <p>It's about 66 degrees here today - I don't need a jacket (I tend to feel warm) if I go out, but I don't really want bare toes.</p> <p>All comments welcome! </p>
