All the proportions here look amazing, I especially love the black top that has beautiful details.<br /> The nude sandals were also the perfect choice . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510368 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 08:51:10 +0000 lyn67 1510368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great fitting pants in a really fab color! Picties are too dark but I can feel the real color, &nbsp;LOL, and find it a very sophisticated shade! YLF Michelle, can't stop to rave about your cohesive and stylish looks this summer! </p> <p>ETA: Reading Aida's comment about only adding textured blacks to her wardrobe, I feel exactly the same for whites on my top part, just couldn't articulate that!!! Wow! I learned something new again on YLF, today!:-))</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510351 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 06:23:33 +0000 Maneera 1510351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've done it again, Michelle! While the lighting is bad, I can see that the blue pants fit very well and they actually look soft and comfortable. I love the black top....it's far from plain and actually brings out the blue. Love the neckline and keyholes. </p> <p>The sandals and bag add a great finishing touch. You most certainly look fresh and stylish. Great job done! </p> <p>Ps: Hugs to the dog. My first ever book was 'Emma and I' by Sheila Hocken and it continues to be one of my favourites till date. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510338 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 05:12:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1510338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great success, Michelle! Angie did not steer you wrong--those pants are a really nice length on you, and they fit beautifully. The black and blue is a super combination, and the new top is so pretty with the detail at the neck and sleeves. I like the earrings, shoes, and bag with this outfit as well. The dangly, intricate earrings complement the feminine details on the top nicely as well as echoing the blue of the pants as you noted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510332 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 04:45:12 +0000 Cococat 1510332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great top. It reminds me a little of something Sass and Bide did that looked a little like a bolero over a plain top. </p> <p>Fab look Michelle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510328 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 04:30:17 +0000 AJ 1510328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, you look beautiful, Michelle! That top has nice details and the pants fit nicely! The accessories all look good with this outfit. Well done! Definitely put on the repeat list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510318 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 03:57:40 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1510318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love this on you! I think that pants will be a wonderful addition to your wardrobe. I agree that the length is fresh style wise and season wise, but I also feel as you do that this is a scary length to try. You totally succeeded in making it work beautifully. For me, the low contrast (to your skin) neutral shoe is what does it. I think that it does lengthen the leg line. If the pant leg was a longer crop, then Angie's trick of a dark shoe to lengthen the leg would work. To my eye, a nude shoe like yours is best with this length. I echo everyone else in how great that black top is! The details are awesome, and the cut and fit is really flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510316 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 03:47:14 +0000 Anonymous 1510316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, this outfit is definitely a winner. In addition to what has already been said, the black top looks like it is just the right length on you. Everything works together beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510222 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 00:33:03 +0000 Vicki 1510222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's the Angie magic and you look great in it, Michelle. Love the blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510215 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 00:18:43 +0000 Aida 1510215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say the experiment was a success! The crops look great, just the right length and if the color is similar to the Nordstrom photo a lovely shade to pair with any of your other colors. The black top definitely looks much more than a "tee", with really nice shoulder and neckline detailing. I love the idea of only bringing in textured black pieces; as someone who is very flattered in black but doesn't much enjoy wearing it, I think that would be an excellent idea for me to adopt as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510202 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 23:56:13 +0000 always trying 1510202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Length of the pants and fit look great. Love that T,,very flattering neckline too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510200 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 23:44:44 +0000 Diana 1510200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Ummlila mentioned, the color is off in your photos due to the lighting, but the fit of the pants looks excellent!&nbsp; Very flattering length.&nbsp; The black top is lovely and quite flattering as well. I think the keyholes are great - you are right that they make the top look more special, and I think they give the neckline a very flattering shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510198 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 23:43:16 +0000 MTBGirl 1510198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That definitely does not look like a flat black tee! And the sandals are leg lengthening as well as nicely coordinated with your satchel! I agree that the pant length is fresh and flattering on you. I think this might be one of my favorite outfits of yours! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510157 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 22:45:51 +0000 Michelle 1510157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lila, yeah, my photographer was complaining about the crappy light in the office today. Hope the Nordy's link can clear up colour questions.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510154 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 22:41:26 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1510154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The photo is a bit dark so I think it's hard to appreciate the blue color, but I like the details on the top and your accessory mix ins. Also your four legged photobomber looks sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-garments-and-silhouettes#post-1510148 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 22:38:27 +0000 Michelle 1510148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm simultaneously debuting some new loot and attempting a trend that I've previously &nbsp; &nbsp; avoided in this post, so I'd be very grateful for feedback on both aspects. <br />Angie's recommendation of the Addison cropped pants persuaded me to try and close a wardrobe whole of a colourful summer bottom. I chose to order it in the blue mazareen colour, which I believe to be something close to a cobalt? Anyway, they arrived yesterday and I didn't hesitate to try them on.<br />At first I balked and even wondered what on earth Angie was talking about. I felt for a moment that they didn't fit. But when I returned to the garment and tried once more, I realized that they had stretch in the fabric that had yet to start working it's magic. Sure enough, within minutes I realized that Angie had done it again - recommended an item in a beautiful fabric, with great styling details, that felt fabulous on. She had indicated that the pants would hit at her second flattering length for such trousers, which is one that I've avoided like mad for a long time now...But as I wore these today, I found the length (about 6 inches above my ankle) felt fresh and chic. I sincerely hope it looked that way, but please tell me if it didn't. <br />With these bright blue pants I decided to wear a new purchase that filled another wardrobe hole. Do you believe that I didn't have a go-anywhere black top for warm weather? Well, I do now and I hope you like it. I've kept up my tradition of only purchasing black items that have texture. This one is mixed media with a crochet-style fabric comprising the sleeves, shoulders and yoke before transitioning to the softest, most fluid fabric you've ever felt. I also hope that the bateau-shaped keyholes at both the front and back keep the top from looking like a flat black tee. <br />I happened to own a pair of long earrings with a blue stone that virtually matched the pants, so I put them on for bookending purposes. Taupe snake sandals and, you guessed it, the rose gold satchell made up the rest. It's my hope that the sandals are neutral enough to be leg-lengthening-ish. Even if not, you've told me they coordinate well with the ubiquitous bag. :)<br />Over to you, my lovelies. How goes this round of experimentation? </p>
