It's modern with classic elements and is very streamlined. I want to love #4 but I just feel the dress shape isn't quite right in this iteration. I suspect the sneakers will have looked really good with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1348483 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 12:16:32 +0000 Lantana 1348483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No need to be diffident about these Amy, you look attractive in every single one, by which I mean you look fresh, warm and approachable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1348428 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 04:37:39 +0000 Beth Ann 1348428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always think of your style as a bit more tomboy that RATE -- androgynous, rather than rough about the edges.&nbsp; I see that tomboy polish in #2 and #3 particularly.&nbsp; I think #4 sounds great with casual, but slightly lighter shoes, and your hair looks great in #5.</p> <p>When you have time, I'd suggest a "growing out trim" for your hair.&nbsp; I think reshaping can ease the transition to a longer look -- and I could really see you in a longish lob that can be styled either wavy or straight.</p> <p>P.S.&nbsp; My "Beth Ann tee" made the trip out west, after I repaired it's holes.&nbsp; It must be retired now, however!&nbsp; Still, the CPW was pretty good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1348342 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 01:37:46 +0000 Aquamarine 1348342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the whole week and wouldn't change a thing. Honestly, your style has evolved so much and you have developed a knack for figuring out what flatters you.</p> <p>I think your hair looks great as it is growing out. No real suggestions except to be patient and perhaps try some product to change up the look. A trim occasionally helps as you transition to longer hair...it keeps the in-between cut looking fresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1348326 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 01:20:14 +0000 amiable 1348326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! &nbsp;I too like these outfits (just not my hair) &nbsp;:)</p> <p>Una, the top in #2 is just showing wear and tear - it's got the tiniest bit of pilling starting, and doesn't drape as nicely as it did at first (I should iron it). &nbsp;Plus, I stained it when the grapes were ripe (luckily it blends in). &nbsp;Basically, it doesn't look as polished as it did back a few months ago &nbsp;I've gotten lots of wear out of it this summer, but my guess is that it'll not make it to next summer.</p> <p>And Alana, I hadn't thought about the outfit in #5 having a 50s vibe, but you're right - it does. &nbsp;Fun! &nbsp;I thought that I looked a bit pear shaped in this outfit (I'm a rectangle), and for some reason, it's a fun deviation to me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1348296 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:54:04 +0000 columbine(erin) 1348296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in the red shirt and white pants especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1348249 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 00:01:34 +0000 catgirl 1348249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What are you talking about?&nbsp; You look great.&nbsp; Dark red loves you.&nbsp; I'm not big on the shape of the brown stripe top for some reason, but that's the only outfit I don't love.&nbsp; I think 2 is fun - what's wrong with the shirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1348247 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 23:59:29 +0000 Alana in Canada 1348247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the docs for the smile they give you! The dress with it is certainly a style I love.&nbsp;Your hair looks so sleek in #5--that whole outfit is very 50's--you remind me of January Jones as Mrs. Draper in pants. And that red was made for you. It makes your brown eyes so warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1348239 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 23:54:30 +0000 Dee 1348239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 2 and 5 but I like the red on you too. The jeans in 2 definitely work as boyfriend jeans. And love your hair styled in 5 too!</p> <p>So sad to hear about the docs though. I keep thinking about getting a pair, but I hear the break in period can be brutal so I've been putting it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1347922 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 16:57:05 +0000 annagybe 1347922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look good in burgundy. Really like #5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1347917 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 16:53:46 +0000 lyn67 1347917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plonk! All gorgeous outfits, Amy! Sureyl the docs are too big, sorry for that, but otherwise!!! All just fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1347915 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 16:50:30 +0000 Ingunn 1347915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where's the mess? I think you have a full&nbsp;sleeve of good outfits here. My favs are 1, 2 and 3. I also like #6 a lot, great proportions and colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1347884 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 16:12:17 +0000 abc 1347884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was expecting an unsheveled (sp) mess but you don't look as rumpled as you make it sound. &nbsp;I really like these, #1 is great! &nbsp;The jeans on 2 look fine as a replacement. &nbsp;Sorry the boots didn't work but thank goodness for eBay to resell. &nbsp;Don't be so hard on yourself. &nbsp;Oh and the hair styled day looks really nice and polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1347847 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 15:36:14 +0000 rute 1347847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! For me the jeans on 2 work perfectly as boyfriends! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mostly-rumpled#post-1347839 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 15:25:04 +0000 amiable 1347839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just cropping these photos for posting and noting that I've spent most of the last week taking RATE a bit too far. &nbsp;I'm dressing for summer weather still, but really wanting to bring a bit of fall colors in. &nbsp;So here are my attempts.</p> <p>#1 chambray and a striped tube skirt for a really hot day.</p> <p>#2 my Beth-Ann Tee, starting to look a little worse for the wear, with replacement boyfriend jeans. &nbsp;<b>Does these jeans work for BF jeans?</b></p> <p>#3 dark red with black and white. &nbsp;I'm looking forward to wearing dark red a lot this fall.</p> <p>#4 black dress with boots. &nbsp;The boots are too big (Dr. Martens), and will be resold on ebay &nbsp;I ended up wearing this with black sneakers instead.</p> <p>#5 a new-to-me outfit: black ankle pants and a cream/brown/charcoal top. &nbsp;I like this as a business-casual ensemble for the fall (or air-conditioned late summer, which is where I was that day). &nbsp;I also styled my hair, for a change :)</p> <p>#6 &nbsp;The only cool day in the mix - I'm celebrating by wearing full-length jeans (faded flares) with dark red for a dark-red light blue ensemble. &nbsp;I even dug out my burgundy beetle booties - still love them (but wish they were a little comfier). They'll be half-day shoes for me, but I think they'll stay around for fall.</p> <p>I like most of these outfits just fine, but I realize that I'm veering into not just RATE, but rumpled. &nbsp;I'd go for a haircut, but I'm really wanting to try out shoulder-length. &nbsp;I suppose that means I should try styling it while I wait for it to grow. &nbsp;Suggestions?</p> <p>And all suggestions and feedback on outfits are welcome too. &nbsp;</p>
