That top is fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume/page/2#post-598358 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:15:30 +0000 ManidipaM 598358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, a great outfit there! I think the toning dark colours and the drapey quality of both fabrics is really helping with skimming and figure flattery, as well as adding height --- a lot of which I think comes from the blouse's vertical folds too! I'm liking how the curves in that pattern tie in with your hair's texture too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume/page/2#post-598320 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 02:04:54 +0000 Carole 598320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tis is a beautiful silhouette for you. I love the blouse, the perfect compliment to your slacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume/page/2#post-598282 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:29:48 +0000 modgrl 598282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah - yes, I wore this to work. It was a great success. I felt very tall and long today. Even my uber stylish boss commented that she liked my blouse... which is nice but I was planning to wear this outfit to my review next week so I'm going to have to find something new to wear now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-598275 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:23:12 +0000 Deborah 598275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, this looks wonderful. That blouse is just beautiful. Its funny because i tried the same style blouse over my wide legs pants but wasnt' sure as it seems to add alittle to my hip area, however yours doesn't. This is a really fresh and smart and creates a very slender line. Did you wear this to work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-598272 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:18:52 +0000 Jonesy 598272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, I remember when you said (a while back) that you felt 5 months pregnant in voluminous tops, so you just didn't want to go there :). I think you have conquered your fears with this look!! Not a hint of a bun in the oven with this one! You look elegant and chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-598235 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:33:21 +0000 Aida 598235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab Rita! What a gorgeous blouse, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-598230 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:27:32 +0000 CocoLion 598230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This totally works~ I think because the blouse's volume is reined in and a column of color is created. Pants look PPL to me as is but hard to tell exactly as they are black. Curious to see the Target shoes you are wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-598227 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:25:16 +0000 Jaime 598227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! Why do the pants not read as volume to me? Or volume in the best way? Whatever it is, it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-598165 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 23:14:29 +0000 Girl X 598165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

I adore it. And despite the dark colour it looks cool. All that floaty-ness. Definitely wear those trousers as much as you can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-597875 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:41:30 +0000 modgrl 597875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, it's 74 degrees outside, no other layers required!

The volume is in perfect proportion to little you... it's great. That blouse is a wonderful look on you too. How are the temps right now? Do you need another layer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-597850 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:13:03 +0000 celia 597850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat trick with the pants Rita.<br /> I love this silhouette on you, the blouse is beautiful and you look long and lean as usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-597816 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:28:47 +0000 Anonymous 597816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, Rita, and inspiring to the rest of us height-challenged who want to try more volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-597813 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:26:12 +0000 Anonymous 597813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, beautiful, Rita!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-597748 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:56:26 +0000 modgrl 597748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn67, I've done it a few times before. It is a trick that tailors use with men's suits all the time. I want the hem to come all the way down to the floor in back but still not be too long in the front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shortie-does-volume-over-volume#post-597738 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:31:04 +0000 lyn67 597738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is so great on You! Like the pants and the blouse, too. And, what a fab ideea to shorten them only on the front! Do you (or others) do that freqvently???? I never dared to hem my pants unevenly, even if sometimes this would have been the best thing.<br /> Oh well, I learned something this time, too. </p>
