I like the volume on volume and my bet is this looks amazing in motion.&nbsp; LIke Shannon, I do think that a pointy toe would look fab with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1229111 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 00:13:25 +0000 DonnaF 1229111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri;<br />Aren't pjs usually pastel?&nbsp; These drapey, flowy pants look great!&nbsp; I hope you can duplicate them some day in navy or other colors.&nbsp; The top is stunning on you; in addition to being one of *your* colors, the curved hem really makes it work.&nbsp; Your footwear situation is what it is; better to be up and walking than laid up in a hospital bed, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1228659 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 15:22:30 +0000 jackiec 1228659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look elegant </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1228608 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 14:51:10 +0000 Anonymous 1228608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the curved hem of the shirt ~ I think that makes such a big difference. The color is gorgeous too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1228582 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 14:15:04 +0000 Catnip 1228582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, you look gorgeous in this pink color.&nbsp; I think the pants are OK even though I can't see them too well.&nbsp; And I understand about the shoes which look fine with the long, flowing pants.&nbsp; Enjoy wearing this outfit because you're beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1228545 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 12:51:42 +0000 Suz 1228545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, the colour is gorgeous on you! Just stunning. And I don't think it is too much volume. A lot of volume, yes, but also a lot of drape and movement.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1228534 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 12:36:23 +0000 harmonica 1228534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This works really well to my eye! An elegant look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1228428 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 05:08:25 +0000 alee 1228428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for showing these pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1225526 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 13:33:19 +0000 Karie 1225526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the volume on volume look. The color of your top looks fantastic with your complexion. A pointy toed shoe would take this from beautiful to ultra beautiful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1225433 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:18:24 +0000 Jenny H 1225433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting the pants, Peri!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1225403 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 07:57:02 +0000 Ingunn 1225403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, I think you look fantastic! Particularly in #2 the movement indicates a flawy, elegant look to me. The color of the top makes your own colors&nbsp;stand out &nbsp;in the best way possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1225387 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 05:47:01 +0000 Marmee 1225387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, I really like the volume. &nbsp;It looks artsy to me, not pajama like!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1225356 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 04:22:01 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1225356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are just too funny, no pj look here my darling! &nbsp;That color is fantastic and I love the volume on volume look. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1225330 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 03:43:16 +0000 rabbit 1225330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks<b> Peri</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1225122 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 00:53:41 +0000 Peri 1225122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and <b>LaCeleste</b>....you are too kind!! But you made my day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1225115 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 00:50:54 +0000 Peri 1225115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I feel better about it now, although I do still think it won't be for everyone. But for something that helps me right now, it's a relief to know it is acceptable.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm sorry about the lack of pointy toe shoes, I just don't have any that I can walk much in.</p> <p><b>Rabbit</b>...I really didn't think I was going to be able to help you. I got the top last spring, 2013, in a local boutique. Just in case,&nbsp;I checked the label...James and Joy, which I have never heard of. But, the magic of Google! Here is the top. Looks like the same one, especially from the very distinctive back view, which I didn't show. Not the same color, but they do have a few choices:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.couturecandy.com/james-and-joy-by-joy-han/nella-half-sleeve-top-in-tangerine-/product.html">http://www.couturecandy.com/ja.....roduct.htm</a></p> <p><b>Jenny H</b>, here are the pants. Get them now...I was checking for several days, wondering if I wanted to duplicate, and they were sold out except in XS and XL. I guess some have been returned but probably not too many...unless they have restocked or something. I disagree with the reviewer who said they run small...I think they run true or large.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jjill.com/jjillonline/product/itempage.aspx?BID=434942110&amp;rPFID=1257&amp;item=HM088K&amp;h=M&amp;sk=N">http://www.jjill.com/jjillonli.....&#038;sk=N</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224943 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 20:58:47 +0000 Anonymous 1224943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top looks great on you, fab color.&nbsp; I think it the whole look works because the volume is contained by the drapiness of both top and bottom.&nbsp; Yes, very easy artistic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224937 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 20:50:24 +0000 CocoLion 1224937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too much volume, looks very pretty on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224928 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 20:42:40 +0000 Jenny H 1224928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rabbit wants to know what the top is, and I want to know what the pants are. They look like something I would choose and when you say they are like wearing pj's, well, you're really getting me interested!</p> <p>I really like the whole outfit. The top is gorgeous too. I bet pointy toe shoes would be a great addition to the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224813 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 18:10:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1224813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think this works really well. I would imagine there is beautiful fluidity and motion in these items IRL and I think the proportions are good. I would love to see a pointy toe with these trousers and think that would "seal the deal" so to speak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224783 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 17:38:29 +0000 rabbit 1224783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pink is gorgeous! &nbsp;What is that top? &nbsp;Like you I recently bought a lot of voluminous tunic-y tops. :)</p> <p>I think it pretty much comes down to shoes (or occasionally belting, but that is trickier for me). &nbsp;Jackets and blazers can also provide structure. &nbsp;</p> <p>The difference between rounded toes and pointed toes or even almond toes of whatever height peeking out from under wide pants legs kind of astounds me sometimes when I test it out in the mirror.</p> <p>What was the thread that <b>alaskagirl</b> (?) recently started about how to add structure to volume? &nbsp;There were a lot of good ideas in that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224778 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 17:22:34 +0000 Liz A. 1224778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like this look for you.&nbsp; wear away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224759 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:41:59 +0000 Beth Ann 1224759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter's right --- the structure in the shoe makes a difference, as does the skin at the neckline and in the arms -- somewhere I think that Angie thinks of skin as a structural element in dressing.</p> <p>Do you ever wear navy or ink blue?&nbsp; I think it can suit high contrast types and I like it as an alternative to black.&nbsp; No criticizing the black -- I just have been enjoying blue, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224753 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:30:51 +0000 LACeleste 1224753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I just tell you how pretty you are?! &nbsp;That pink is glorious on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224751 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:29:31 +0000 carter 1224751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous color for you in that top! I think a pointy-toe pump peeking out under the pants makes everything good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224749 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:25:41 +0000 gardenchick 1224749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color and fit of the top. Hard to tell about the volume from the photos, but from the second one, it doesn't appear overly flowy. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224741 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:19:56 +0000 Diana 1224741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks fine, and I suspect the pants are even better in motion.&nbsp; Flowy black things are always difficult to photograph well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224716 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 15:35:53 +0000 deb 1224716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, not al all. The pink is perfect for your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224697 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 15:01:10 +0000 Peri 1224697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Parsley, the pants fit well in the waist and hip, they are just true wide legs, loose from the hip down. My preference is for more fitted in the legs and flaring out gently from the knee. But I haven't found those yet in this kind of knit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-volume#post-1224685 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:52:46 +0000 Parsley 1224685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely <u>love</u> that top, and the color is exquisite on you. The pants do look pretty voluminous, but it's a little hard to get a good look at them. I wonder if they might be a little big on you? </p>
