So very crisp and fresh! You certainly do NOT look at all short legged!

I'm finding the comments regarding the jacket length interesting and would be curious to see the difference with a longer jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-638143 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:04:54 +0000 ManidipaM 638143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not only a fab Tanya outfit (again!), but a great instructive jacket/belts/shoes discussion! Win-win on every side! Thanks, Tanya </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-638122 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:31:19 +0000 Deborah 638122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

I love the Bandolino wedges! Bandolino makes a great shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-638049 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 07:30:06 +0000 goldenpig 638049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in this outfit--both flats and heels! The bright green is perfect for summer! And the tucked in look is perfect!</p> <p>PS Tanya, if you have short legs, then the rest of us are daschunds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637975 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 04:42:18 +0000 Tanya 637975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much everybody! I really appreciate all the feedback and I am glad a lot of us can benefit from the discussion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637941 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:56:02 +0000 Lulu 637941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks crisp, polished, and proportionate on you! We are definitely our own worst critics, are we not?! I completely understand your hangups re: long torso, tucking in with low rise pants etc. As i have the exact same body type as you. surfacing your concerns has resulted in an incredibly instructive tutorial, so thank you for that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637933 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:46:14 +0000 Anonymous 637933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thread! FWIW, I *never* pegged you for having a long torso or short legs. Ever! You must be doing something right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637904 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:05:05 +0000 Jamie 637904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya - you look so good in this outfit! I'm dying to try this outfit combination for myself. And I just love these discussions. I learn SO much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637877 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 01:15:19 +0000 Jaime 637877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great on you and you certainly don't look short legged. Is it possible that the darker belt actually makes your torso appear shorter and balances you out? Very interesting discussion about how this works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637869 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 01:08:44 +0000 Sarah A 637869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the green jacket proportions are lovely but really look forward to seeing some of the bonus options discussed... New linen or classic navy and white look both are fun and I hope to catch them. I also have a long torso, so this jacket length discussion is very interesting! Great post... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637862 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 01:02:29 +0000 Suz 637862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this discussion. </p> <p>I think one reason I like shorter jackets (like this one) on me, with jeans, is because of my relatively short legs; I find the shorter jacket really does elongate the leg line. </p> <p>And I think this one works on Tanya beautifully but so would a slightly longer one. </p> <p>Tanya, I think if your jacket is low contrast, you won't feel relatively short legged with the white jeans because you'll have a column of colour (more or less). WIth a higher contrast jacket it might feel different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637858 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:59:38 +0000 Midwest Girl 637858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great with the heels and flats, but regardless you don't have short legs--they look a mile long to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637853 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:54:38 +0000 Sara L. 637853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the bright blazer with the white jeans! You look very proportional to me in these photos - not short or long waisted, with long legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637850 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:46:00 +0000 Lyn D. 637850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the emerald jacket, and your watch, bag and shoes go together beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637845 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:31:42 +0000 Sveta 637845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit Tanya and I also don't see short legs here. I think that long waisted does not necessarily means short legs because your legs are definitely opposite from being short!<br /> Suz said aloud what was on my mind about the jacket length - especially after Angie pointed out in my thread that I need longer jackets with jeans. I think my cream jacket hit me lower than this green on you but my legs are shorter than yours (relatively to my body of course) so maybe this is why... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637837 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:23:19 +0000 Tanya 637837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for your input Angie! Got it, lighter belt for flats. </p> <p>Hmm, I have a longer white linen blazer on order and should be here in a couple of days. I also have regular length (like yours) navy jacket. Once the white blazer gets here, I will post both those options as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637832 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:16:10 +0000 Angie 637832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind words, Tanya. (I edited my first comment to answer your question). </p> <p>You have a longer body than I do, but my jeans are also lower rise - which elongates my body and shortens my legs. I would wear this outfit with flats too, but would probably lighten up the belt in that ensemble. </p> <p>Suz's point about jacket length is very interesting. Good one, Suz! A shorter jacket elongates the leg line. A longer one elongates the torso (read Jonesy's recent thread with great visuals). So the shorter jacket here makes sense. My jacket length is just regular - so I guess that works with my regular length torso and legs. A lighter longer jacket will look GREAT on you too, Tanya. Lets see that outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637829 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:09:29 +0000 Beth Ann 637829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this, Tanya! By measurement, you may be long waisted, but by eye, you don't appear that way to me. Your overall silhouette makes your limbs look very long. What I mean is that you may need to consult the measurements to make sure your clothing fits well, but I don't think you need try to hide a visual flaw.</p> <p>I'm long waisted, too, but since I grew breasts (thanks, DS), I can easily appear short waisted. Unfortunately, I have more fit issues than every, before the girls, well, take more fabric than ever! So--- here I am, long waisted, but not looking it!</p> <p>I love this color balance for you, along with the strong belt. Wear this again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637827 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:07:30 +0000 Tanya 637827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much everyone!</p> <p>Suz, you are right about the belt color - I just do not own a taupe/tan one, and it goes on my wish list, but it will be a long wait as I am back on SYC for quite a while.</p> <p>As for the blazer length, I strangely do not mind a longer one like Angie's at all on myself. I am wearing this particular one here as it is the only bright blazer I have, so not much choices in length at all. I do have some slightly longer ones, but they are all neutral. I might retry this with one of them sometime in the future, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637824 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:05:57 +0000 christieanne 637824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your version - crisp green and blue is great. I think you can tuck very successfully and this looks brilliant on you with both shoes. Yes, a longer jacket might work too but keep trying this one - it's a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637822 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:03:48 +0000 JennyAnne 637822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! You looik grat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637820 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:01:19 +0000 Suz 637820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, your legs look long to me even in your flats! I know it's a proportion thing, but truly, I don't see the radical disproportion you speak of! I think this is a fab copy, esp. with the wedges (oh, how I am coming to love wedges, thanks to you!) and you look wonderfully crisp and fresh!! That BR shirt is really terrific. </p> <p>If you wanted to minimize the horizontal line you could wear a lighter belt, as people suggested to me. But I think it looks good here! </p> <p>This jacket is much shorter than the one Angie sported. So that creates a different proportion. I have to say that while I loved Angie's straighter, longer jacket on her, as a long body/ short legged person I still feel a bit uncomfortable in a jacket like that, at least with trousers, as I worry that even with a bit of a heel it cuts me in half. This one doesn't do that, but I think it might look best just a tiny bit longer. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637817 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:00:27 +0000 Anonymous 637817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab look for you, Tanya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637814 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:58:39 +0000 nicoleb 637814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! So polished! I think the tucked in top looks fine on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637811 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:56:46 +0000 Angie 637811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(pssstt! OF COURSE, I love this outfit - with flats and heels). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today---another-copycat-of-angies-friday-outfit#post-637809 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:54:00 +0000 Tanya 637809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was sooo excited when I saw Angie's amazing outfit on Friday and decided that I must try something similar ASAP. So here is my attempt. I normally avoid tucking into lower-waisted bottoms, as I have long torso/short legs body type that can not carry this well at all. I would be curious to know if you think I can borderline get away with it (like in #2) even though it is not optimal for me? I did wear it with the snakeskin wedges, but added flats for comparison in#3 and think that one does not work at all.</p> <p>Outfit: Blue button-down shirt - BR, cream skinnies -7FAMK Roxanne, bright green blazer -Express, brown leather belt - Gap, snakeskin wedges - Bandolino, tan/white bag - Rafe for Target </p>
