Overall, a great look - even the blocky vest is hip, if not exactly figure enhancing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-find-my-gear#post-1098782 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 19:56:06 +0000 DonnaF 1098782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a complete vest lover!&nbsp; I think lots of rows of stitching, esp. in a chevron, help with flattery; same with&nbsp; a zipper and an attached hood to give a *V*.&nbsp; Lands End has a ton of down vests this year, incl. polka dots!&nbsp; I just bought a pewter Bernardo vest from Nordstrom so it would be hard for me to justify more. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-find-my-gear#post-1098735 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 19:04:47 +0000 Von 1098735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit, yes they are the Presidios, they have the best arch support inside! </p> <p>Refugee -- I am sure you're right, the vest is a few sized big (great for bulky sweater, but roomy for a thin shirt), and it appears to have no shape at all, it's not curved at the waist or anything. I've seen a few nice ones with interior belts or bungees that I think would fit better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-find-my-gear#post-1098710 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 18:46:31 +0000 MuseumGal 1098710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I'm cold I don't care if I look like a hippopotamus.&nbsp; That said, that 1st pic is waaaaay flattering.&nbsp; Love the Keens and the socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-find-my-gear#post-1098661 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 18:20:29 +0000 Anonymous 1098661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are those Presidio Keen's? I have the same ones :)</p> <p>You look cozy and curvy to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-find-my-gear#post-1098625 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 17:55:55 +0000 Refugee 1098625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I run into a similar problem with vests. I have found it isn't so much the bulk of the vest but the cut at the shoulder. &nbsp;Vests where the shoulder is cut in a bit more really helps mitigate what I call the SpongeMom SquarePants look. &nbsp;With the vest you have on, there is pretty much a straight line from the top of the shoulder down to the hem of the vest. &nbsp;If the shoulder was cut in a bit more, the vertical line would start under your armpit. &nbsp;May I suggest (as a test run)&nbsp;you tuck the shoulders in and see if this makes the same difference for you as it does for me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-find-my-gear#post-1098614 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 17:39:43 +0000 Hestonian 1098614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute look, and I love your fun socks. I don't think the vest makes you look "blocky" at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-find-my-gear#post-1098611 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 17:31:41 +0000 Von 1098611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wear it to the office, but on days when I'm working from home, I wear jeans and a hoodie or a long sleeved tee...and throw on a vest for errands. &nbsp;I love this vest, but it does my figure no favors. &nbsp;I look like a block! &nbsp;The white vest must be a different size, because I didn't look nearly as big in it. Time to find a thinner down vest.&nbsp;</p> <p>I discovered thinner materials w/zips or half zips in the front are warm, but still flattering to my figure and don't hide all of the curves. &nbsp;This one is a Smartwool long-sleeved pullover, and though it's as thin and comfy&nbsp;as a tee shirt, it's really warm. &nbsp;My favorite Keens + fun socks top off the look for sitting in my office all day long and watching the cold drizzle. They look like brown clown shoes, but feel so good!&nbsp;</p> <p>Today I found all of the pieces for my&nbsp;remote setup for my camera - you can't see my excitement, but it means I might actually get a family photo for holiday cards this year! Whohoo! </p>
