And I like that it totalky looks like a skirt when I stand certain ways. </p> <p>Re your suggestion to tuck and belt, I actually took a pic with the top tucked. I didn't post it here earlier because I didn't think the proportions worked. But your belt idea intrigues me, although I wonder if a belt would slip around on the silk. Hmm...I'm going to try it.</p> <p>Meanwhile, here's the rejected styling with the top tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719988 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 17:06:30 +0000 Karie 1719988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is very flattering on you. Mirrors can sometimes play tricks on us - it depends on the tilt or angle of the mirror and the camera too. Sometimes it's more of a funhouse mirror effect than a true image. </p> <p>These colors work very well for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719984 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 16:47:56 +0000 Beth Ann 1719984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the return of fuller skirts, pants and culottes. &nbsp;I think we're just in a place of "readjusting" our silhouettes. &nbsp;I think this look is perfect for a warm day, and I imagine there is nice movement in the silk, which a photo can't capture. &nbsp;The shoes are delicate and lovely!</p> <p>I think the look is more than JFE just as it is. &nbsp;When I look at the outfit, I think it would also look great tucked -- yes, a real tuck, with a medium to wide dark belt, and then gently "fluffing and blousing" the top. &nbsp;You have a graceful torso, I think it would be very flattering. &nbsp;I half expect that I just made you shudder -- we're all so critical of our midsections -- but I think it would be fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719857 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 06:41:56 +0000 skylurker 1719857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, don't worry, it's flattering.<br /> (I understand why you ask, wide bottoms don't elongate the silhouette like slim ones, esp seen static in mirror or picture). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719516 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 16:40:43 +0000 Angie 1719516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. I liked the graceful drama of this look, Windchime. Rock on.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719479 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 15:44:16 +0000 Windchime 1719479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU are fab, Angie! And the outfit will be repeated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719474 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 15:37:49 +0000 Angie 1719474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MORE than JFE. It's fab on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719458 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 15:19:59 +0000 Windchime 1719458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks very much, everyone! I belatedly realized I should have asked, "Is this outfit JFE?"</p> <p>I really appreciate all your comments, especially about the color and silhouette. The mirror that makes me doubt myself is propped at a very slight angle, rather than hung. But oh, what unflattering things that angle does to the reflection of my figure!</p> <p>Nice to know I can still include soft pink in my closet, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719330 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 11:42:53 +0000 skylurker 1719330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I like the colours on you, the silhouette works as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719197 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 01:54:08 +0000 Jaime 1719197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors and the silhouette both work! You look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719183 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 01:27:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1719183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this outfit looks great, Windchime. I like the proportions, and it looks summery and sophisticated. Those delicate laces keep it feeling light, too. I do like these colors on you; it seems like a bit of contrast (this is a pretty high contrast stripe) suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719166 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 00:38:50 +0000 Angie 1719166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the A-line shape of the outfit, Windchime. It's dramatic in its own way. Why not! Super cute shoes, and that top in-particualr is fabulous on you. Good drape and neckline. Colours are great on you, and complement your silver hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lovely to see you post again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silk-culotte#post-1719137 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 23:04:40 +0000 Windchime 1719137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this to work today. I'm posting it to follow through on my goal to post more frequent WIW's. </p> <p>In one mirror at our house, I think this top and culotte together emphasize my hips too much. Looking in a different mirror, and now at the pics, I don't know--it's hard to be objective! I usually wear a longer, drapier top with the culotte and wear this top with black pants. But I just wore black crop pants yesterday and it was warm enough today that I wanted something cooler than pants; thus the culotte.</p> <p>Does the color palette work for me? I don't wear soft pink/blush very often.</p> <p>Your comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome; thanks! </p>
