The raspberry is NOT twee, it is happy, energetic and stripes can never be outdated!&nbsp;</p> <p>Your goodwill seems amazing and you are a super shopper.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085251 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:30:46 +0000 rachylou 1085251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree the raspberry is fantastic on you, and that the jeans are great. I like the idea of a long sweater with these two things... I don't know, thermal underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085142 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:09:40 +0000 amiable 1085142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cross-posted with Tracina -&nbsp;</p> <p>The neckline is neither ruffled nor stretched out in real life - but I do see how the front is a little bunched up in the picture - weird. &nbsp;&nbsp;And you have a good point that the skinny stripe is probably a bit dated. &nbsp;Oh well :)</p> <p>I too have been avoiding tees except for layering - I was shocked when I realized how many I'd bought. &nbsp;I might have benefitted from more restraint than I used... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085110 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:49:51 +0000 amiable 1085110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks All!&nbsp;</p> <p>Raspberry is a color I don't have a lot of - I think I've always avoided pinks and purples because they're so girly. &nbsp;But I like them when they're not combined with ruffles and lace and such - I think my "twee" radar is bit overactive or something. &nbsp;I just bought a plum (or grape?) hoodie&nbsp;too - so obviously these pinks and purples are growing on me :)</p> <p>I'm liking the color pretty well - though I'm not sure that sitting at the computer working all day is really a very good test field.&nbsp; </p> <p>The pants will stretch over my heels without shoes on, but I agree they look a bit short with shoes. &nbsp;Perhaps these will be my "boots" gray jeans, and the other new pair (which is a bit longer if I remember right) can be my "shoes" gray jeans.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085106 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:48:01 +0000 Anonymous 1085106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jeans on you and they look great with the sneaks.&nbsp; Not loving the T, it is a nice color for you.&nbsp; I'm not sure what it is about the tee, it looks dated (maybe the super skinny stripe?) and the neck looks stretched (or is there a ruffle around the neck?).&nbsp; It's probably just me because I'm finding less love for tees in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085085 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:34:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1085085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to raspberry!&nbsp; Fit on the skinnies looks great.&nbsp; They look nicely scrunched in the front, but a little short in the back.&nbsp; I have a feeling they just won't drop lower over the shoes, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085080 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:31:59 +0000 LACeleste 1085080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Amy! &nbsp;Raspberry is fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085064 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:16:46 +0000 Hil 1085064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the stripes, love the colour on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085060 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:13:27 +0000 Word Lily 1085060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like they fit, but it's a little hard to tell about the shirt's fit since it's under the cardi. That looks like a new color for you, too; how's it feeling? Yay for stripes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085058 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:12:12 +0000 amiable 1085058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pink T is 3/4 sleeved - would it look weird with long sleeves under it? &nbsp;Actually, you do that frequently, don't you Kate - and it always looks great on you. &nbsp;I'll try it! &nbsp;Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085056 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:10:33 +0000 donnat 1085056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what i can tell, they both look great to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-to-me-basics#post-1085054 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:09:03 +0000 Anonymous 1085054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good!
