I've just accepted that they are hard to take good pictures of!&nbsp;I know that in person they'll come across as more fluid and elegant, so I don't think you should be worried about culling these. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey/page/2#post-891102 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 04:46:00 +0000 Nanabear 891102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What are you talking about? I&nbsp;think it looks great https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-891090 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 04:33:43 +0000 Beth Ann 891090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've been on a train all day, Shannon, but wanted to say "hurrah" for yellow and grey.&nbsp; I think the wide legs are looking a little flared in this photo.&nbsp; I don't remember noticing that in other photos.&nbsp; That could be generating questions.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-891069 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 04:10:31 +0000 Missey 891069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are so petite...the volume on the bottom of the pants overwhelms, to my eye.&nbsp; I think it would work perfectly if the trousers were more straight legged.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-891052 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 03:25:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 891052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry I'm so late in getting back to this thread - crazy busy evening. &nbsp;Let me see if I can answer all the questions:<br /><br />Rae - yes, I still have the taupe slouchy trousers but they are a bit snug still. Five more pounds and I should be good!<br /><br />Aida/Anna - the trouser legs are truly wide legged all the way from the hip to the hem. They don't narrow at the knee but they do seem to photograph that way. Maybe because of how I stand?&nbsp;<br /><br />Caro - they do fit well but maybe don't flatter?&nbsp;<br /><br />Should these trousers be donated? They appear to raise some concerns. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-891009 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 02:40:19 +0000 Caro in Oz 891009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with Ceit - the pants look a little heavy, with this top,&nbsp;to me. I'm not sure I like the fit of them either but that could just be the photo - do they fit well? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890705 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:56:21 +0000 Nicole D 890705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What? &nbsp;I like that outfit! &nbsp;I think the clutch just nails it. &nbsp;Are those shoes Indigo? &nbsp;I have an almost identical pair but it has purple stitching, hard to tell in your photo. &nbsp;You look fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890702 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:50:15 +0000 Aida 890702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Alright, Shannon you must clear up the pants for us then! Are they straight all the way down? I know that my wide legs that are NOT even a little flared photograph as nipping in at the knee in almost every photo. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890679 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:31:12 +0000 Ingunn 890679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab as is, but you could of course experiment with a lighter bag, or bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890609 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:29:03 +0000 Krista 890609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't see anything wrong with any portion of this outfit. &nbsp;I also like the black belt and shoes, as well as the grey clutch. &nbsp;I think the other suggestions for lighter accessories are nice, but I would just think of those suggestions as additional options to switch it up next time you wear these pieces. &nbsp;As usual, YLF! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890606 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:28:03 +0000 annagybe 890606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If they were wide all the way down, I'd think they'd work better. Right now it looks like they go in at the knee. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890605 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:26:24 +0000 rachylou 890605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ya, I like it. It's soft spoken, but nothing wrong with that. It's all a juxtaposition of casual and formal, a mix of genres, also nothing wrong with that. A shot of cream would certainly turn up the volume, tho.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890601 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:22:38 +0000 Aida 890601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You don't like slouchy sweaters over wide legs Anna? I have a feeling these are photographing as more flared than they really are; wide leg trousers are SUCH a pain to photograph -_- https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890597 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:21:32 +0000 Debora 890597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm with Angie! You never have a bad fashion day in my book. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890591 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:16:03 +0000 annagybe 890591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the shape of the pants is bugging me more than the color combination. But clearly I'm an outlier. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890549 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:41:19 +0000 Aida 890549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it looks great like this, Shannon! Just not The Most Springy Possible (which is fine!). To remedy that I vote swap to a&nbsp;white belt, python booties, and cream bag/clutch :} https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890309 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:44:39 +0000 Angie 890309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KILLER<br /><br />I am wearing this outfit formula right now! But will change into a full skirt in a moment as I head off to a client.&nbsp;<br /><br />A cream bag would have lightened things up, but the clutch looks fab too https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890269 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:22:48 +0000 catgirl 890269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like this but agree with Ceit that if something is wrong, it's the relative weight of the two items. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890215 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:47:11 +0000 rae 890215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it works just fine outside of your head. But if you want to tweak for next time... hm. White belt and light colored shoes? White bag? Do you still have those taupe silky slouchy pants from last year? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890208 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:41:53 +0000 Sona 890208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I would like it with a lighter shade of grey (bottoms) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890094 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:43:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 890094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Keep these fabulous suggestions coming ladies!<br /><br />Love the idea of a pewter belt (now on my shopping list - thanks Tanya!), swapping to my cream handbag and lighter shoes. Hmmm....I don't have lighter shoes that will work with the length of these trousers. I have been thinking of shortening these a bit to work with a lower heel height since right now, they can only be worn with these shoes. Will give that some more thought. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890091 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:40:44 +0000 Tanya 890091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love yellow with grey and I think the outfit is great as is, Shannon. &nbsp;If you want to&nbsp;tweak&nbsp;it, I would play with accessories; cream bag sounds nice, maybe lighter (greyish or even cream) shoes too? &nbsp;If you are in the market for a grey belt, may I&nbsp;recommend&nbsp;pewter instead? &nbsp;it works similarly with a little bit of extra interest. &nbsp;I reach for mine whenever I do know know which belt to choose. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890077 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:27:25 +0000 Thistle 890077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the yellow striped top on you. So happy and so spring.<br /><br />The trousers look fine with it to me. I think perhaps it is the accessories. What if you paired with some lighted colored shoes and handbag? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890072 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:24:10 +0000 Sara L. 890072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the outfit looks fine too.&nbsp; The cream bag would have looked nice with the yellow top but the grey looks good too.&nbsp; The yellow brings some spring into the outfit while the pieces are still warm enough for cold temps. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890068 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:20:23 +0000 Anonymous 890068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't see an awful lot wrong to be honest. Just a touch more light in the outfit with&nbsp; a different bag as you suggested is probably all thats needed. I still like it https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890064 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:13:56 +0000 ruthe 890064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Like Raisin, I like yellow with grey. With that smile and twinkle in your eye, I'd say you look pretty confident to me. I like that clutch. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890049 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:57:05 +0000 Raisin 890049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love yellow and grey, so I think this works great. &nbsp;I think your cream handbag could have worked well too, but it's great as is.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890025 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:04:46 +0000 Jaime 890025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Had you not mentioned your own dissatisfaction it would not have occurred to me that there is anything wrong with this outfit at all. I will start with what I like very much: the semi-tuck with belt showing. Now that I have read the other comments I would be curious&nbsp;to see another light element in the outfit - maybe light shoes or, of course, the cream bag. Meanwhile, rest assured you look quite nice already! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-grey#post-890022 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 11:54:48 +0000 ramya 890022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would like it with a lighter bag Shannon. I kind of feel like the top is not bookended right with all other items being dark.
