I actually got a lot of compliments on this outfit at work today - maybe it's more accessible?</p> <p>@ Ramya - I think so too; it makes my shoulders look bigger. Linebacker :p</p> <p>@ Kelly - I had to look up what IKWYM means HAHA, you're so tech savy! Will keep my eyes peeled.</p> <p>@ Kristin - I tried it with both long and short, but I still didn't feel too comfortable with that.</p> <p>@ Clara - I don't know if it's about "levels" of fashion, but I think you're right - I could swap different pieces in this outfit to make it work. No one piece is the culprit.&nbsp;</p> <p>@ Peri - I ended up just wearing a black cardigan that I had at work for the afternoon - felt a lot more comfy.</p> <p>@ Diana - The necklace/scarf rule is getting a lot more lax. My staff person wears beautiful scarves, and a lot of the staff wear necklaces. I may try tomorrow.</p> <p>@ Dianthus - That's an interesting point! I didn't think of the texture of the top! Thanks!</p> <p>@ Marley - I will look for more scoop neck tops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-feels-a-bit-off-help#post-1004371 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:18:09 +0000 Marley 1004371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - I think its the neckline of the top too.&nbsp; I don't like that look on me either.&nbsp; It would be an easy fix with a little lower neckline - but all in all, I think you look pretty darn good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-feels-a-bit-off-help#post-1004236 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 15:50:29 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1004236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought it might be the texture of the top.&nbsp; It looks almost quilted which feels more fall/winter to me.&nbsp; It feels too heavy for the&nbsp;&nbsp; brighter jacket and skirt with lots of white.</p> <p>Having said all that, I still think it is a good outfit and like the proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-feels-a-bit-off-help#post-1004224 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 15:42:23 +0000 Diana 1004224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I agree that it's the high neckline.&nbsp; Otherwise I really like this outfit.&nbsp; A longer necklace would probably fix it, but if I remember correctly, you can't wear necklaces at work, right?&nbsp; Maybe a scarf?&nbsp; Can you wear those?</p> <p>Of course, just switching to a scoop neck top would work too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-feels-a-bit-off-help#post-1004223 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 15:41:40 +0000 Peri 1004223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer is too structured for the rest of the outfit? That's really a guess because I think you mix things much better than I do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-feels-a-bit-off-help#post-1004222 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 15:39:57 +0000 ClaraT 1004222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your top half and your bottom half, but maybe not together. This is a very nice outfit, and&nbsp;on me, I would consider this outfit a real winner (as I am not quite at your level fashion-wise). But I have seen many outfits on you, and I think that a different topper, not a different neckline, might be even better. The fit of the blazer looks perfect, but a gentler (?! drapier?)&nbsp;topper would work well with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-feels-a-bit-off-help#post-1004189 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 15:11:36 +0000 Kristin L 1004189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it may be the neckline. But I think it still looks lovely.&nbsp;</p> <p>Would a necklace help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-feels-a-bit-off-help#post-1004186 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 15:07:58 +0000 kellygirl 1004186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a scoop neck would look softer under the blazer but I think the way you are wearing it works too. IKWYM about cropped sweaters but I really like the proportions of the jacket with the full skirt. So pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-feels-a-bit-off-help#post-1004183 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 15:04:57 +0000 ramya 1004183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm now that you mention it. I didn't like blazer and high neck lune. Feels a little less ladylike which is your style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-feels-a-bit-off-help#post-1004152 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 14:16:57 +0000 lyn* 1004152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I think it is time to clean my closet. I had a struggle with getting dressed this morning which admittedly was definitely more difficult due to lack of cropped cardigans. </p> <p>I felt my cardigans were too long, and there is something about the blazer with the high neckline I don't really like. Hmm. </p> <p>Any suggestions or insights for what is making this outfit not work? </p> <ul> <li>Blazer: Rickis</li> <li>Top: SmartSet</li> <li>Belt, Skirt: Anthropologie</li> <li>Earrings: ModCloth</li> <li>Watch: Fossil</li> </ul>
