I don't see the tee as bulky, and on the photos white does not seem to alter tour skin tone.<br /> I love the lighthearted, airy feeling conveyed by the mint trousers and patterned scarf! Perfect for summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884530 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 08:31:21 +0000 jussie 1884530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lynn, Joy and Karen13- thanks for your words of confidence! Yes mint is a wonderful colour- it’s so fresh to my eye. I’ve always had a thing for it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884495 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 03:51:25 +0000 karen13 1884495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit - fresh and crisp. Those sandals are too cute. I struggle with white - I don't think I have any white tops in my closet. I feel it washes me out, but since I don't see that in your photos, I may have to rethink as our spring rolls around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884483 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 03:17:02 +0000 Anonymous 1884483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Jussie, you could not look bulky if you wore a Santa suit! I am drooling over mint pants and that lovely scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884480 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 03:12:28 +0000 Lynn 1884480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The mint pants are great. The color really suits you. I don't see any heaviness with the white top but if you don't feel good in it I think your plan to use it only as a layering piece is prefect. Love the grey cardigan.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884192 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 07:39:06 +0000 jussie 1884192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny: that’s a good point. I possibly overanalyse the small details and miss the big picture. Thanks for the reminder! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884127 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 01:36:05 +0000 shiny 1884127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think your skin looks yucky at all with crisp white tee. Suggestion: when you look in the mirror focus less on your skin and more on how it lights up your face, the whites of your eyes, your teeth, your hair. Sometimes we over focus and miss the bigger picture.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884115 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 01:22:32 +0000 Toban 1884115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this casual, relaxed look. It is refreshing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884113 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 01:19:56 +0000 Anonymous 1884113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally fine outfit, the scarf really adds and makes the mint pants look different than they would with another pastel. I like the white but you could try a silver grey t shirt instead, similar light effect but a little less easier to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884096 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 00:26:28 +0000 jussie 1884096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mainelady- A side bun could work... I always like the look of those. Picking up on the colours of the scarf is always tried and true </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884091 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 00:07:08 +0000 Mainelady 1884091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! Mint! I love how you styled your mint pants. I like the white Tee, but if it is not a happiness factor, try one of the other colors in your scarf. I think a melon or aqua color would look great, too. I like your hair, but if you are tired of it, try a side pony or a side bun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884083 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 23:47:00 +0000 jussie 1884083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn: </b>Thanks for the kind words.<br /><b></b><br />Ok, after some reflection, I am actually going to relegate this white tee to being ONLY for under things, or for tucked in. &nbsp;The last 2 times I have worn it untucked with nothing over it I felt not-so-great. &nbsp;But thats ok- I have learned something and it will still be useful for under open cardi's and jackets, or tucked. &nbsp;I shall keep my eyes open for a softer, more swingy white tee that's flattering enough to stand alone. Suggestions welcome here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884073 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 23:34:19 +0000 Brooklyn 1884073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely.

I may try that next time. I do have a mint tee, I will try doing a column of colour- usually I do that with neutrals but it may be worth a try with mint. Thanks!<br /><b>Cardiff girl and Sarah L</b>: Thanks for the hair ideas- I'm extremely sick of my hair and I ought to work a little harder on it but just cant seem to work up the motivation. &nbsp;But that could all change....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884063 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 23:12:36 +0000 Barbara Diane 1884063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m in love with your bracelets.

The pants are great with the lovely scarf and bracelets. The shoes are also very nice with the outfit. Have you tried to tuck the top in?<br /> I like the outfit as it is with the white top, but if you prefer another colour - you could use a mint top to create a monochrom column - that might be nice with the scarf, or just any of the softer colours in the scarf for the softer look I think you prefer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884030 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 21:40:51 +0000 Cardiff girl 1884030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember that feeling from when I used to have hair as long as yours and ended up putting it in a pony tail most days but there are loads of things you can do and the internet is full of advice and suggestions .Now my daughters got long hair and I really enjoy trying out new styles on her.Have you got a bun ring ?you can use that on top or pinned at the side,various braids are easy to do and you can get some really cute hair accessories really reasonably priced these days.One of my recent faves are little fabric flowers on what look like screws and you just wind them in to a braid or bun to jazz it up.changing your hairstyle can really amp up the vibe of an outfit .you have lovely hair so make the most of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884028 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 21:34:48 +0000 Sara L. 1884028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit a lot and don't see anything bulky about your top half.&nbsp; I got so tired of my eternal messy bun that I cut off all my hair (went from mid-back length to chin length).&nbsp; I loved it but it's been several years so I'm currently growing my hair to about shoulder length.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884023 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 21:15:46 +0000 jussie 1884023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi jlpp- thanks so much for those colour suggestions. Lavender I’ve done before with these pants- and it worked well. I haven’t tried citron, melon, sage or olive but they’re intriguing suggestions.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884021 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 21:11:06 +0000 Anonymous 1884021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t think you look bulky at all, your scarf and bracelets are cute and your top and pants look cute together on you. As for other colors to go with the pants, I like olive and sage with mint, also citron, melon, lavender, navy ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mint-again#post-1884019 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 21:07:43 +0000 jussie 1884019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well here today’s wiw. Critiques welcome. I’m happy with the pants, shoes, bracelets and scarf. Crisp white tee shirts are never my friend- the crispness and bright white make my skin look yucky and my top half look a little bulky, however I didn’t know what other colour top to work in with this outfit.<br /> Also my hair is in its usual low messy bun which isn’t great but I’m at a loss as to what to do with it.<br /> However the happiness factor of the mint pants and scarf makes up for it :)<br /> Thanks for any feedback! </p>
