I like #3, and think #2 would look good tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504589 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:06:34 +0000 Jenava 504589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean about the exposed waistband. Is there enough length from the top to blouse it over the waistband?</p> <p>Honestly though, it looks fine with the waistband showing. I really like the 2nd top! Also, I wonder what this would look like with a jacket vs. the cardigan? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504485 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:13:09 +0000 Angie 504485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2. That's a fab outfit to my eye if you tuck the top in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504423 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:02:51 +0000 nicoleb 504423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the ways your posted i prefer 3 to the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504419 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:01:00 +0000 jayne 504419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yay for look 3. The strings might take time for you to decide on....so enjoy that great new look and decide if you can or should shorten them later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504315 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 03:44:01 +0000 stringy 504315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like the 3rd look more than the previous ones. Seems more luxe that way too. I don't mind the waistband being exposed, but if it bugs you, you could try a belt in a matching tone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504285 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 02:52:39 +0000 Sharon 504285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, KP, great to see you! Haven't gone too crazy, although with all the discounts it seems almost rude not to. ;)<br /> The shoes are from Joanne Mercer. They had them in several colours including blue and yellow and I'm pretty sure they are currently marked down. I wear them almost every day and they are very comfortable, so I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for sandals.<br /> Hope all is well and you are enjoying the Chrissie break! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504274 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 02:43:01 +0000 Katiepea 504274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! How are you? Hope you had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas! Have you gone crazy at the post-christmas sales?</p> <p>I really love the colours in your outift and am glad that you are playing around with the look a little more. Personally, knowing nothing, but certainly having an opinion ;-), I like the last look featured in #3 over look #1, as it feels more classic in style and appear less "fussy" (for lack of a better word). I think you'll definitely come up with something that feels just right.</p> <p> I do have to mention that the big thing I really noticed in your first photo were your shoes! They are fabulous. Where did you get them from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504257 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 02:19:04 +0000 Sharon 504257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I have given it another try with a looser shirt. I have to say it does feel more "me", although I'm not sure about showing the waistband on the pants. What do you think? Any better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504244 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:59:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 504244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fabulous pieces Sharon - just not necessarily together. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pants with the sandals but agree that it's the top throwing off the proportions. The others have made wonderful suggestions for you to consider. Those earrings are stunning BTW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504236 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:54:52 +0000 Deborah 504236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants look great but I agree the top isn't quite right with the pants. I particularly like Jonseys suggestion of a cropped top, otherwise a fitted top tucked should create a great silhouette for you. As an aside the color of the top is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504234 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:53:39 +0000 cheryl 504234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the earrings and the pants look great. If you like the top do you have a topper of some sort to try on with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504229 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:48:42 +0000 Suz 504229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I see what the others are saying about the silhouette, but I just want to say that I LOVE this colour combo on you! And the earrings are great, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504222 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:43:54 +0000 Sharon 504222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thankyou, Jenava and Jonesy. Unfortunately, I often get sucked in by colours and end up with silhouettes that don't really work. I didn't feel quite 'right' with that outfit, but couldn't put my finger on why. I appreciate the ideas and I will play a bit more with what's in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504212 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:36:32 +0000 Jonesy 504212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Jenava about the top; love the pants! The color combo is gorgeous, but I think the pants want to be paired with something less fitted--a looser, cropped sweater, for example, or something slim paired with something structured/boxy over the top (like her example of a tank with a denim jacket). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504183 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:12:44 +0000 Jenava 504183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If these were mine I would wear a white ribbed tank and my cropped denim jacket...just my two cents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504182 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:11:42 +0000 Jenava 504182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the ruffle on the top is throwing me off. Also, I think it's too fitted. Do you have a drapy top that you could tuck in, maybe?</p> <p>I like the fashion forward slouchiness of the pants and I think they are very cute with the shoes. The earrings are pretty on you and I don't think they are too fussy.</p> <p>I think you just need to work on the top... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-running-late-to-the-colour-blocking-party#post-504166 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 00:44:36 +0000 Sharon 504166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was given a gift card for Christmas and used it to buy a skirt and some pants. These are the pants-they are very drapey and comfy. I bat for Team Low Contrast, so this is a bit of a stretch for me, although they are both fairly muted tones.</p> <p>I wore the scarf because crew necks are not the best look for me, but I am worried that it looks a bit fussy, especially with the earrings. Opinions, please?</p> <p>I have added a photo of the earrings because they don't show up well in the first photo. Thanks for your advice. </p>
