I will try the cropped sweater with less slouchy jeans next time I wear it and give the jacket (scrunched) more chances out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176904 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 00:24:19 +0000 E 1176904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm enjoying them all!

I find #1, the "white out," very fresh and attractive.</p> <p>I also feel drawn to crop tops, but then I'm held back by the "draft" factor. Even with a longer something underneath - well, I notice the temperature difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176747 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 22:18:27 +0000 catgirl 1176747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok now I totally love the Gabe.

I like the crop top in #3, but agree with karymk of maybe with different bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176685 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 21:42:57 +0000 kellygirl 1176685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE all of them Shevia!

All of them. Pretty, Sharp, Cool, Relaxed. So few ingredients and so many different feels.</p> <p>Btw, I read your thread title "... and Gabe!" as "gabel" and I wondered what on Earth is she doing with&nbsp;a fork... :-D&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176373 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 17:21:34 +0000 karymk 1176373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look good in "crop". &nbsp;In #3 I think you could try&nbsp;a jean without a drop-crotch to make your rise look shorter. The drop crotch is giving the illusion of a really long rise, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176259 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 16:00:44 +0000 Angie 1176259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You stunning Thrown Together Elegant Tomboy. I love all the combinations, Shevia.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 is my best because it's pretty. You had me with the white. Go Team Zara.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 is the most fashion forward and totally killer too.&nbsp;</p> <p>You rock my style world. xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176239 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:47:39 +0000 JAileen 1176239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style! Even with the simple color schemes, the looks are great. In #1 the sweater has a very interesting knit pattern. And with grey pants the colors are perfect for you. Adding the jacket, I love it. In #4, your jacket looks great. It's a kind of casual dressiness. Again, the simple color scheme. I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176234 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:45:29 +0000 Suz 1176234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all terrific! I love the grey and white on you -- it reads as very fresh.&nbsp;</p> <p>The crop top is so much fun. I think these curved hems on them are genius -- I need to find one like that. Clearly I do not live close enough to a Zara.&nbsp;</p> <p>And what can I say? I am still in love with Gabe, even though he didn't love me back.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176176 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 14:37:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1176176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too much fabness in one post...gotta go lay down now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176171 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 14:35:26 +0000 texstyle 1176171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them all but #4 is relaxed chic perfection to me -&nbsp; love that jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176167 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 14:33:58 +0000 Beth Ann 1176167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the ease in all of these.&nbsp; I do think the strength and structure of the black coat in the first look makes it pop.&nbsp; What about trying it with dark trousers?&nbsp; <br />#4 is my favorite.&nbsp; What do yo think about scrunching, rather than rolling, the sleeves? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176159 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 14:30:38 +0000 Grey Rainbow 1176159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all on you -- you make Zara look good! The Gabe works well here, cool and contemporary, flattering length and shape. Love the color combos too. I'd try the striped crop sweater with a white shirt tail hem underneath too. For variety, how do the crop sweaters look with longer tops, crotch length or a little longer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176156 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 14:29:57 +0000 Jaime 1176156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your replies - <br />Joy, El Cee, LL, and Ceit&nbsp;I'm glad I was not crazy to think I could wear a cropped top and that Gabe is earning her keep!&nbsp;<br />Neel I am so flattered! I love your wiw's and your style -&nbsp;the inspiration is definitely going both ways.&nbsp;<br />Aubergine I am always so glad to be reassured that I am not the only one with perpetually uneven sleeves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176101 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:48:06 +0000 Neel 1176101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!! I am bowled over by your relaxed chic outfits! I so wish I could do it as well as you! Definitely one of my style goals! And you are one of my style icons!</p> <p>I love everything in these outfits! The cropped top, the slouchy jeans, the cool bag!! You have pulled off the boxy over boxy look brilliantly too. Just gorgeous!</p> <p>Psst ... Please go to zara more often!! If it makes you look this good ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176099 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:47:15 +0000 Anonymous 1176099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the crop top, especially with that curved hem,&nbsp;and the jacket looks really nice with the lighter jeans! </p> <p>Uneven sleeves and twisted tops are always a favorite for me too. At least they <i>must</i> be, considering how often I wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176081 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:32:17 +0000 Anonymous 1176081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving it all! The new cropped top in 3 looks just the right length so that the proportions feel right to my eye. Love the Gabe B. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176073 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:23:36 +0000 El Cee 1176073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits… all of them. I especially love #3. You look so sharp in the striped crop top. Your jacket in #4 is quite fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176069 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:20:38 +0000 leopardluxe 1176069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really loving the crop top ensemble on you.

I really like the cropped stripey top. And look 4 is super too!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-boxiness-cropped-top-and-gabe#post-1176032 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:47:08 +0000 Jaime 1176032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to try the boxy over boxy look too!</p> <p>#1,2 Boxy over boxy and how I actually went out - truthfully I think it works much better with the coat over to cut the box. That is my signature uneven sleeves and twisted top, sigh.</p> <p>#3 Cropped top I bought at Zara during my mission to&nbsp;check out the sale in every Zara around. Let's just say I am&nbsp;spoiled with access to at least 4 Zaras within a fairly short distance, and I know&nbsp;from past experience that the strangest things show up on sale that I never saw during the regular season. So what did I do? Buy this new - along with various and sundry sales items that will be popping up. This is the only cropped top I ever tried that I liked on myself - but it is still returnable, so feel free to disagree.</p> <p>#4 WIW trying to to use the Gabe B. What do you think?</p> <p>I always appreciate&nbsp;your opinions, suggestions (including from stay away from Zara - I seem to be addicted), or whatever. Thanks! </p>
