If you think the top should be relegated, then perhaps it should. In my experience, if I ask that question at all, then the answer more than often is yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1349322 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 17:13:28 +0000 Alana in Canada 1349322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blast--I had a reply to each of you and I've totally lost it. Oh well, in brief, then:<br /><b>Shiny</b>--glad I asked. That &nbsp;w asn't what I was assuming.</p> <p><b>E</b>--I don't mind a bit of mid-western classic.I wonder how I can jazz it up?</p> <p><b>Viva</b>--I so wish I could do my hair like that more often. The flat iron isin my daughter's room and has to be used there. We have no outlets in our bathrooms.</p> <p><b>Glory</b>--Thanks! Though I don't mind wearing something flattering to work. I will keep this in rotatio for a bit longer before I decide definitively.</p> <p><b>Momo</b>--oh, tall boots just might be the ticket. Unfortunately, I don't have any--nor am I likely too. Still, I can try my booties.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1349129 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:51:22 +0000 E 1349129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like all of these! #4 looks great on you &amp; I know that's the direction you want to head in. :)&nbsp;#1 also has the same drape-y goodness, although not quite as much artsiness w the plainer underlayer.&nbsp;The layering in #3 is marvelous too.</p> <p>In comparison, #5 seems a bit too modern classic for you, although of course I love the neutral mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1349127 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:48:10 +0000 shiny 1349127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On my monitor, #3 &amp; #4 are coming across as purply gray.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1349101 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:14:01 +0000 viva 1349101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 3 and 4, and I agree that your smooth new do in #1 is sophisticated and really lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1349076 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 12:20:44 +0000 Glory 1349076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alana I am going to swim against the current I think. I love 3 for you. I find it casual and sassy and think the plaid shirt is great for you. I think all of these work and none should go for the paint shop </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1349075 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 12:11:07 +0000 Momo 1349075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feedback on the others :-). Maybe 1 with a different color shirt? I think it has potential. 2 looks very bright and cheerful. Really like the top on you.<br /> And I like 3... I wonder how it would look with boots? I think it would ground the look more.<br /> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1349013 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 05:54:04 +0000 Alana in Canada 1349013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gigi</b>--I go back and forth on it. It is a bit form fitting. It is not quite long enough. The neck is a bit low (not a problem under my work tunic.) But I will keep it out and in rotation, I think, based on the feedback here. It is comfy.:) I'm not a fan of the proportions in #3 either.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the love for the plaid, <b>Amiable.&nbsp;<br /></b><br />Love for #5--thank you <b>kiwigal</b>! I was a bit concerned the greys were not different enough from each other to "work." I think they do work--but only just. When I was in line to buy my pie, a very well-dressed woman looked over at me and smiled. That never happened when I wore my yoga pants and walmart tees out to get pie. I love that plaid shirt--so I will figure out a flattering way to wear it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348965 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 03:40:07 +0000 Sal 1348965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 4 and 5 the best...</p> <p>I think 3 may be better with boots or shoes rather than sandals. Or maybe the shirt and jeans with a longer cardigan...I think you have a waterfall one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348953 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 03:19:58 +0000 amiable 1348953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these - I have a soft spot for 3 - love that plaid shirt! &nbsp;and, as others have said #4 and #1 are stellar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348944 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 03:01:44 +0000 Gigi 1348944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the outfits; I think you did a great job! My favorite is 4, and my least favorite is 3. I can't figure out what it is in 3 that makes me not 100% in love with it...I'm wondering if the jacket and the shirt are too different in length? Or maybe it's the print on the shirt? I don't know. Sorry!</p> <p>I actually like the color of the shirt you are thinking of demoting. Do you not like that shirt? I think the shirt might be the purply gray that Shiny was talking about. It seems to work wonderfully with your natural coloring—unless it's just my monitor (tricky beasties indeed!).</p> <p>I'm sorry you're feeling like you are going to have to return the Pettys. Do you think one of the other booties you tried would work better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348936 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 02:52:10 +0000 Alana in Canada 1348936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cinnamon--well,one of the reasons it is going to be a workhorse is because I truly have nothing better. But if it is a flattering colour? I am surprised at the love #1 is getting--ut that is exactly the point of posting these, so thanks!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348927 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 02:42:53 +0000 cinnamon fern 1348927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4 and, a close second, #1 - but 'jazzy' does not strike me as the right term. &nbsp;Both of those two outfits are sleek, sophisticated, and arty, to my mind.</p> <p>Do not relegate the top to painting wear! &nbsp;It looks like it should be a real workhorse for you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348921 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 02:31:22 +0000 Alana in Canada 1348921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Shevia</b>, Yes, I probably should have left out #4! That is, in order to get feedback on the others. Thanks, <b>Momo</b>. It was worth <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-trouble-help">the pain</a>!<br /><b>Suz,</b> I am wearing those booties as we speak (but without socks--probably a dumb thing to do). They are so difficult to get on and off. I really need something quick. I am actually hoping to return them, unfortunately--and get a nice pointed toe lace up of some sort instead. We will see. I love #4.<br /><b>Liz</b>--I was thinking it was "polished"--not quite that "jazzy"--but the print sure is sort of jazzy, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348905 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 02:09:40 +0000 Jaime 1348905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is the stand out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348891 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 01:53:06 +0000 Momo 1348891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love #4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348845 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 00:45:29 +0000 Suz 1348845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alana, your hair looks amazing!! <b>LOVE</b> it!! Can you wear it straight and curly now (i.e. as the mood strikes you?) That would be fantastic. It's very polished with the blow-out and highlights your smile.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really love outfit 4 (and I think there is purply grey in there...). It's amazing on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also really like #1, although for deeper autumn I suppose you would be wearing different footwear, and I think that would make it look more current. (Maybe your new booties if they are becoming more comfortable?)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348834 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 00:25:11 +0000 Liz 1348834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow...#4 is lovely. You totally hit jazzy and polished! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348833 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 00:24:43 +0000 Alana in Canada 1348833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure, shiny! But which outfit has purply grey? lol! Monitors are such tricksy beasties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348828 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 00:19:45 +0000 shiny 1348828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I note that a purply gray, juxtaposed against black or white, is totally your gray?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348823 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 00:06:34 +0000 Alana in Canada 1348823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi pil! I m new here and I am still in the process of trying to find my style. So far I have two words: polished and jazzy. #4 is my fave, too, and an indication of the place I want to go with my clothes--but I've a long, long way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348819 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 00:00:39 +0000 pil 1348819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alana, your hair looks terrific! I haven't been around much lately - are you making a change in styles or adding another option? As far as the outfits I don't think any of them are awful, they just have different vibes. #4 is absolutely outstanding, I love the artsy feel and the silhouette is really, really flattering. #1 is a close second, I guess I like the monochrome look :)<br /> #2 is fresh and crisp with the white pants and the red is lovely on you. #5 is a nice, basic combination. I like the idea of #3, but something about the shirt could be even better - but that is just my eye - especially compared to fanulous #4.</p> <p>eta - maybe try scrunching the sleeves in #3? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tfall1-evaluate-please#post-1348808 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 23:27:35 +0000 Alana in Canada 1348808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TFall = Transitional Fall</p> <p>As you know, I just finished up a three part series asking you all to critique the outfits I wore this summer. </p> <p>I found myself wishing I had done the outfit reviews in a more timely manner, ie, when there was still time to act on your reactions and thoughts!<br />So, I have decided that I will ask every 5-6 outfits or so for your input.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have not yet finalized my winter wardrobe. But I am grabbing warmer pieces to mix with a few of my summer ones (ahem, mainly my white and blue denim.)</p> <p>Some of these are awful. I know. What do you think? Should they never be worn again or are there improvements I can make to"save" them? As you will notice, I have started to wear necklaces. I do enjoy them--it was just much too hot this summer to even attempt them.</p> <p>These first two were taken on some chilly days in August:</p> <p>#1 Worn to get my hair cut. This was taken after my cut and style.<br />#2 Still warm enough for sandals! It isn't anymore.</p> <p>These are from September:<br />#3 Running a quick errand<br />#4 running around all day. This was the first disastrous debut of the SE Pettys.<br />#5 Went out briefly to get pie.</p> <p>I am thinking or relegating that top in #1 and #5 to work wear. I got it on sale for $7 so it qualifies.&nbsp;(Work wear=clothes I don't care if they get paint on them.)&nbsp;What do you think?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
