But I think I may need more slouchier bottom maybe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157639 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 18:11:55 +0000 rachylou 1157639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was my thought re. fit. Everything "fits." You'd be maybe happier with a slouchier top with the jeans, or vice versa something more fluid for bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157624 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 18:05:41 +0000 Diana 1157624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is objectively very flattering on you.&nbsp; It highlights your tiny waist and long legs.&nbsp; But I do find buttoned up cardigans like this to be a very classic look (which is why I ditched all of mine) so maybe it feels too classic/preppy for you as well?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157609 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 18:02:09 +0000 Astrid 1157609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I had to come take a look... I actually think this looks nice, although I can understand how a slouchier top might make the look more current. The cardi is fab though, I love the argyle - maybe try it witk skirts and dresses instead of pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157516 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 17:01:42 +0000 ramya 1157516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie what you say makes sense. This is too fitted to be current.</p> <p>Hehe thanks for the waist love.<br /> Gigi hmmm you have a point. This shoes got of love here previously when I wore them with darker pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157453 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 16:05:10 +0000 Gigi 1157453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this problem too. I have found that if I wear knee-high boots, I have to coordinate them with the color of my pants (i.e., black boots, black pants) so as not to break up my vertical line. I also wonder if you wore a longer top if that would make a difference.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157440 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:56:42 +0000 catgirl 1157440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this length and would wear it all the time if I had a little waist like yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157406 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:26:48 +0000 Angie 1157406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans and boot proportions look fine. The shaft of the boots is a little high though.&nbsp;I think you need a slouchier top to make the outfit look more current.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157405 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:26:12 +0000 Anonymous 1157405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks good, ramya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157395 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:19:10 +0000 ramya 1157395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do have a tank underneath Joy. Which I have tucked in :D.<br />It doesn't move up. But isn't good for semi tuck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157390 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:16:36 +0000 Anonymous 1157390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could try a longer layer ( maybe a layering tank ) under the sweater to see if the extra length feels right. Does the sweater pull up as you move and bend? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157370 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:48:59 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1157370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see a proportion problem here at all. the shorter top with the tall boots works well. &nbsp;Growing up believing you need to cover your bootie, may be nagging at you, but is a good thing for you to break out of!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157358 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:37:34 +0000 MuseumGal 1157358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is darling, and the argyle is ridiculously cute on you.&nbsp; Plus your legs look fabulous, like the go on forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157355 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:36:24 +0000 Lisa 1157355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute cardigan.&nbsp; I'd love to see it remixed with a) a long top peeking out from underneath, almost tunic length to really show off the shorter length of the cardigan or b) worn over a dress, this length looks great for pairing with a dress.&nbsp; The tall boots bookend your hair nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157331 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:17:58 +0000 ramya 1157331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input ladies.</p> <p>Shiny :Ummm the boots don't rub the back of my leg. It's good 3-4 inches from the bend .<br />Love the green accessories idea .</p> <p>Janet: It was drilled into my head by my mom that my butt has to be covered by top. So this kinda is new to me (IYKWIM).So when I looked at the photo it felt different(?)</p> <p>Missey: Booties are seriously in my shopping list. I need at least 2 refined ones. Stompy shoes and booties seem to be the thing in store this year.</p> <p>Neel. The cardi is no good with semi tuck. It moves a lot and doesn't stay put :(. Thanks for the compliment :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157326 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:12:34 +0000 Neel 1157326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am bad at proportions ... But I don't see anything wrong with this outfit? Do you think you could semi tuck the cardi to show the belt some more? You look gorgeous today though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157325 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:11:25 +0000 Janet 1157325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fine (and I love the sweater since I adore argyle, especially since the colors are unexpected!). Is the short length of the sweater bothering you? This was my go-to proportion a few years back, and I came to realize (slowly) that I could stand my tops to be just a few inches longer, but I am more short-waisted than you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157324 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:11:00 +0000 shiny 1157324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This could just be me and my fussy predilections when it comes to boot fit, but how can you wear boots that high?&nbsp;&nbsp;At that height, they'd be rubbing annoyingly into the back of my leg when I bent my leg to sit or walk, and catching on the car seat when I went to brake. Is it just me?&nbsp;</p> <p>Otherwise yes your hair bookends the boots. A green scarf or tote would be lovely with this too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157317 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:45:41 +0000 Missey 1157317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, that's a tough one.&nbsp; You are tiny and have a lovely figure so you can definitely pull off this outfit.&nbsp; However, as you feel, the proportions could be off a bit for you.&nbsp; Maybe a less structured, more fluid top would balance better with the boots or try more refined foot wear (cognac bootie?) with the sweater you are currently wearing.&nbsp; Nothing in this outfit is glaringly "off" to my eye.&nbsp; You look lovely as always! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157311 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:32:55 +0000 Sona 1157311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the proportions are off.It looks good to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwwhen-you-know-the-propotions-are-off#post-1157308 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:30:30 +0000 ramya 1157308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh !!! It looks like the propotions may be off.</p> <p>My idea was to wear this cardigan as a top.And Bookend the heavy boots with my hair and belt.</p> <p>Did I get it wrong?</p>
