One of my favorites! The necklace is a bit too long..<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-901471 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:56:30 +0000 Beth Ann 901471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ HIL -- I think this outfit has great proportions and vibrant, but easy use of color.<br />I wonder if you're "camouflage dressing?" --- dressing to hide what you perceive as flaws, instead of focusing on creating a good proportion overall and highlighting assets.&nbsp; We always see our flaws more than anyone else does.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-901387 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 15:40:39 +0000 Mia 901387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sometimes I find that outfits that look good in photos don't feel good to me in real life. I think the feel of the clothes and the fit has a lot to do with it as previously mentioned or whether I feel the outfit is "my style".&nbsp; <br /><br />Do you have someone you could ask if the outfit works? &nbsp;If so then it's your own comfort zone decision. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-898615 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 14:48:20 +0000 Hil 898615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you might have nailed it Deborah - I am very out of my comfort zone in form fitting clothes - but a comfort zone is not really a good thing!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-898428 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:15:24 +0000 Deborah 898428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hil, this looks great. &nbsp;Do you think it's just a matter of getti g used to seei g yourself in a more slender silhouette? &nbsp;I would need to add heels even though this looks prefect. &nbsp;I tend to feel I look better with a bit of height. I wonder if you might feel the same. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-898424 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:10:55 +0000 krishnidoux 898424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well personally I love it. I wonder why you didn't. I like the colour contrast between blazer and tee, how the necklace playfully&nbsp;de-constructs what severity those two piece might produce, and how the jeans dresses the jacket down.&nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-898407 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 08:07:06 +0000 Anonymous 898407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the proportions work really well in your outfit Hil. The others have already made minor tweek suggestions which I agree with. I think you look great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-898394 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 06:56:44 +0000 Hil 898394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you everyone! This is why I love this forum - I feel so much more confident about things after getting a positive reaction like this. Makes me really rethink some of my ideas about myself! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-898176 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:45:21 +0000 Krista 898176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it and I don't think it makes you look apple-top-heavy. &nbsp;The blazer would create a nipped-in look around the waistline that would create a slimming line. &nbsp;And with the flats it's great - I don't see a need for heels. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-897829 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 22:07:01 +0000 Caro in Oz 897829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this look&nbsp;on you - it would look great with boots too.<br /><br />Hil I have an applish shape too &amp; I find that wider bottoms make me look chunkier than slimmer ones imo. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-897603 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:52:26 +0000 Hil 897603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the tips and feedback!<br /><br />I guess what I felt like was a bit... apple-top- heavy... Like I needed a boot leg and/or chunkier shoes&nbsp;or something to balance me out. But if you all say it looked good, maybe its just my perception and insecurities getting the best of me? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-897558 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:19:12 +0000 rachylou 897558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Top with some pattern. Maybe a floral hem. I think a focal point with more area so to speak (compared for example with a necklace) might make you feel more lively about the blazer.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-897499 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:37:11 +0000 hedgiehog 897499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hil, what didn't you like about it? To my eye, it looks good. I like the green and the necklace, too. Maybe wedges or booties would have given it a&nbsp;different feel.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-897396 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 16:17:20 +0000 Anonymous 897396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think this looks great as-is, Hil!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-897390 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 16:15:10 +0000 Raisin 897390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it, but I love ballet flats too. &nbsp;Did you try it with booties or heels? &nbsp;You looked great, though! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-897378 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 16:05:26 +0000 Glory 897378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <i></i>I like this on you. You could try some ankle booties to see if that gives you more happiness with it.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-897359 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:45:29 +0000 texstyle 897359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it this way!&nbsp; I think you have great colors with the green and blue and the necklace in a contrast -- and the shoes look fine to me (I wear flats 95% of the time). I love blazers and this type of casual outfit would be something I would reach for on a regular basis. You look great to me. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-style-this-blazer#post-897354 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:42:02 +0000 Hil 897354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yesterday I wore this outfit&nbsp;- didn't love it - I think I probably should have worn different jeans and heels or boots. Any comments or suggestions welcome!
