Both work and have you tried the cardi from #1 open over the shorter sweater in 2? Would give you best of both worlds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836984 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 07:23:59 +0000 Deborah 836984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are fabulous! I love both combos here. The boots have such a great look, the colour is luscious and the "chunkyness" is really attractive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836904 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 04:29:51 +0000 ManidipaM 836904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not clunky at all, just gently slouchy and... scrunchy? Something about the softness of their line resonates just *so* with your curls. Now that is textural bookending as well as by colours!</p> <p>I do like both outfits equally, I have to say. Angie's quite right, of course --- both flattering, in different ways. Two distinct vibes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836776 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 02:05:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 836776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooooo glad you changed your mind and got the Frye's Tarzy - they look fantastic on you and will work so well with your wardrobe. I like both of these outfits and as others have noted, you get two different but equally fab vibes from the sweaters. You look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836774 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 02:02:55 +0000 Kiwichik 836774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the boots really work. I prefer the longer top but think the shorter sweater looks fine - does not make your thighs look big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836692 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 00:39:56 +0000 nancylee 836692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots look great...as do you, Tarzy. Slim and sleek. </p> <p>I like both sweaters. The first one isn't shapeless to my eye at all. It give you a long, lean silhouette. The second one shows the nice curve (and I do mean nice! you have a great shape!) of your hip, so it's a little more dressy, feminine look. Your thighs look fabulous and slim to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836689 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 00:38:11 +0000 rae 836689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both versions, and I'm glad you ordered these again. They look SO good. They don't look overly clunky to me, and you could not look wide if you tried. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836688 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 00:37:31 +0000 Angie 836688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Zap said! I like both looks as much. #1 makes you look more boyish, and #2 makes you look more curvy. Both fab :)</p> <p>So glad that you re-ordered the Fryes! They work with your EUC rubric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836682 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 00:31:56 +0000 Tina.b 836682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tarzy think you look incredibly sleek, you have wonderful legs! You look great in these boots, no need to worry about adding a heel at all. They will be so versatile for you. Love outfit version #2. That is the exact spot I like my own sweaters to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836569 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 23:05:15 +0000 Beth Ann 836569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, oh yes to the boots! The sweater in #2 reveals more curve in the hip -- but in a good, "She's a girl," way. I think it's the more flattering of the two. #1 is cute and cozy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836558 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 22:43:52 +0000 Niefern 836558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great boots and I prefer sweater #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836549 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 22:35:00 +0000 Suz 836549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right decision! YAY!!! </p> <p>I actually love both outfits, but agree the second one gives a longer legline. Your thighs are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836545 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 22:32:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 836545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the boots - good decision. They look so good with your hair not chunky imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836520 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:58:54 +0000 Marley 836520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Tarzy - you really look beautiful in these outfits! I prefer the 2nd look better than the first - I think it gives you a longer-leg-look - but the 1st one looks good too! You can't go wrong with either top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836511 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:50:44 +0000 Glory 836511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I totally love them on you but I have to admit I am so biased since I have the Frye Slouchies myself. I haven't given them any love in the past while due to volumes of ice and snow but am looking forward to them again soon! I found mine just keep getting better with each wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836454 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:21:31 +0000 cciele 836454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like both and so glad you went back for Fryes! I don't think they look "clunky," more like they add a bit of ruggedness to your look. It's all good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836451 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:13:08 +0000 Anonymous 836451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both sweaters equally, I don't see larger tights anywhere.

They look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836362 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:56:09 +0000 Day Vies 836362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a great look. The blue and the brown here have great tension with their respective levels of color saturation. I also like how you brought in a lighter tone with the scarf. It's just enough. Earthy is definitely a great descriptor for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836361 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:54:31 +0000 texstyle 836361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are great but I am biased. I just got the Veronica shortie and I think I really like them. I got the taupe/gray color so alll the dust out here wouldn't show so bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836336 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:36:29 +0000 amiable 836336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836301 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:18:14 +0000 Astrid 836301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great! Good decision to get them, if you couldn't stop thinking about them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-same-but-different#post-836293 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:12:58 +0000 tarzy 836293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the Frye Veronica Slouch - again. I had tried them on previously but sent them back because I felt they were too clunky. I couldn't stop thinking about them, though, and decided it's okay to look clunky sometimes. I feel they skew more to the "Earthy" part of my Earthy Urban Chic style descriptor. </p> <p>Even though I love the sleek straight lines of most of my other outfits, the truth is my body is not sleek and straight. My typical bootcut/boot with heel formula does make me look taller and thinner, but I do like the casual feel of this.</p> <p>*EDITED - added a second picture. Do you prefer the shorter sweater? I fear it makes my thighs look larger, but I wonder if the first (longer) sweater might look a bit shapeless? </p>
