I think it will make me happy!&nbsp;<br />Love the banquet outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339965 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 02:58:39 +0000 bj1111 1339965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for de-orphaning. And you look fab in those pants and the ruffled top. Love the proportions with the waist surrender but still showing off your legs. Nice balance.</p> <p>I LOVE that clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339962 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 02:53:06 +0000 Gracie 1339962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ruffled top paired very nicely with the crops, the colors go very well together. I rather like it untucked, I don't see any boxiness, just very nice draping. I prefer it without the jacket to show off the ruffle details. The dress colors are fab on you, and the red clutch was the perfect way to accent it and honor tradition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339934 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 02:08:53 +0000 Jaime 1339934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the ruffled top here and the pink moto is gorgeous on you. Great solution to the banquet too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339879 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 00:48:16 +0000 Carla 1339879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The mushroom ruffled top doesn't date. It is more arty-origami then girlish ruffles. It would be elegant worn loose over a knit skirt or trousers for an evening/holiday occasion, even. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339873 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 00:39:17 +0000 Anonymous 1339873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the top! Agree that the ruffles here seem more on the&nbsp;arty side rather than the&nbsp;fluffy/girlish side, and the gray shade helps even more with that.</p> <p>The dress outfit is really pretty and festive&nbsp;too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339838 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 23:48:25 +0000 Aida 1339838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ruffled top is super fun with the slouchy crops! Totally makes sense that you'd be happier with this top now than in the past, it was really interesting reading about that. You also look lovely (and still very you) in the banquet outfit. I love the pairing of the red with the pink, requisite or not </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339808 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 22:56:09 +0000 Thistle 1339808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both outfits. Fab save on use ruffled top. I prefer it without the topper, but the topper does look fine, especially when one must endure arctic AC.</p> <p>Beautiful dress, and how kind of you to wear it for your MIL. Lovely and auspicious red purse, too.</p> <p>And huge kudos for ironing those ruffles! They look terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339784 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 22:18:06 +0000 Diana 1339784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!</p> <p>Angie et al, I was happy with the ruffled top outfit today!&nbsp; I think I am actually happier with it than I was in the past, because I'm very into waist surrendering and looser fits now, whereas in the past I think I kept wanting to belt or tuck it, which doesn't work so well with my short waist and makes the ruffle seem overwhelming.&nbsp; Now I'm happy with just leaving it alone and letting it be a little boxy.&nbsp; I am going to try it with my orange pants next.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339771 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 21:40:43 +0000 Aquamarine 1339771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the tank here. The color pairs nicely with the bottoms, and the ruffle adds interest. Love the banquet outfit too...very appropriate and how nice of you to please your MIL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339767 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 21:36:21 +0000 catgirl 1339767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress outfit is so flattering and fun. And I KNEW you'd work that ruffled tank! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339758 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 21:08:25 +0000 Sal 1339758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the ruffled top is great and I love the matching with the crops and slide sandals. &nbsp;Cool and casual.</p> <p>The dress is also a great look, I hope it was a fun occasion.</p> <p>I enjoyed the wardrobe analysis on this thread too and the first one where you were contemplating the top.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339751 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 20:51:43 +0000 Alassë 1339751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the ruffled top on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339749 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 20:47:12 +0000 Suzanne 1339749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That wedding outfit is great! I love the way the blazer and clutch give structure to the&nbsp;flouncy floral dress. Spot on!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339734 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 20:14:51 +0000 Angie 1339734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ruffled top is fabulous with the knickerbockers. Do you like it too, Diana?&nbsp;</p> <p>How pretty, chic and&nbsp;gorgeous are you in that floral frock. I'm glad you thoughtfully threw in the floral for MIL. And not a stretch for you either. You <i>love</i> florals. You also threw in the auspicious red with the clutch. PERFECT. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339714 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 19:41:10 +0000 CocoLion 1339714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top totally works as styled! &nbsp;And I like it untucked. &nbsp;Beautiful dress outfit, love that neckline, print and style on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339685 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 18:32:02 +0000 kellygirl 1339685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the slouchy crops and ruffle top on you. I think that's a perfect pairing. The pants kind of tone down the sweetness of the ruffles. Gorgeous floral dress too. Again, the blazer tones down the sweetness of the floral. YLFx2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339676 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 18:01:15 +0000 April 1339676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute! &nbsp;And yes, I think that as long as you do it in a way that feels good to you, it's fine to bend to others' wardrobe wishes sometimes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339673 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:58:27 +0000 JAileen 1339673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the grey top. The ruffles are kind of architectural, like Frank Gehry's designs. I hope you keep it. </p> <p>It's nice of you to dress for your MIL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339659 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:34:33 +0000 Jules 1339659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that top, and I think it's flattering (I know that is not a top priority for you necessarily). I think the grey colour and the raw edge make it look quite RATE for a ruffle, and a bit arty... good for your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339658 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:34:27 +0000 Sara L. 1339658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both these outfits.&nbsp; I've gotten rid of all the ruffles from my wardrobe but not because I don't like them.&nbsp; I'm drawn to them, especially the sort of deconstructed, arty type that you have on here.&nbsp; I find them very frustrating though since I like sleekness and symmetry.&nbsp; If they don't lay right, I fiddle with them all day.&nbsp;</p> <p>The floral dress looks great on you and the red clutch was a nice touch to go along with your MIL's wishes.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339654 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:30:32 +0000 columbine(erin) 1339654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always love those French connection pants! I like the ruffled top with them. I prefer the outfit without the topper even though the topper works, they look arty and structural to me that way. I also love that you kindly honored your mother in law in your outfit choice and still came up with something beautiful and in keeping with your style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339650 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:16:50 +0000 Suz 1339650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I really like both outfits on you! How sweet of you to be considerate of your MIL's wishes, and you really did look pretty! The ruffled blouse seems perfect for a muggy day like today. Great save!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have occasionally pulled something like that from the holding zone and found it really surprisingly useful as an end-of-season refresher.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-the-grey-ruffled-top-wedding-banquet-dressing-to-please-loved-ones#post-1339647 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:02:44 +0000 Diana 1339647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are my WIW from today and from BIL's wedding banquet on Saturday evening.&nbsp; </p> <p>Today I'm wearing the grey ruffled top I asked about <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-ruffled-top-dated" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp; Most people said they thought it wasn't dated but wanted to see it on me so I went ahead and styled it in an outfit, based on bj1111's suggestion of slouchy pants and birks.&nbsp; It's very hot today, so I chose my slouchy crops and paired them with my red Naots.&nbsp; The pink jacket is for chilly AC indoors.&nbsp; What do you think of the top here on me? Do you prefer it with or without a topper?&nbsp; I will say right off the bat that I do not really like this top tucked because I think it makes the ruffle look too big on my short torso (although a low semi-tuck into low-rise pants is OK.&nbsp; These particular pants are too high-rise).&nbsp; </p> <p>The second outfit was worn to BIL's wedding banquet.&nbsp; This is the Chinese banquet for all of my in-laws' local friends who did not come to actual wedding in June.&nbsp; (You might remember I had one too when I got married).&nbsp; There were more guests at this thing than at the wedding itself!&nbsp; Anyway, I had mentioned that I was thinking about wearing a LBD, and MIL was very adamant that I not wear all black, and that if possible I should have something red (which is auspicious in Chinese culture, particularly for weddings.) I don't have a red dress but I chose this floral dress instead (which you've seen before) and carried my red clutch for the requisite red.&nbsp; It's a good illustration of today's blog post!&nbsp; </p> <p>outfit details:<br />1-4: BR top, French Connection pants, Naot sandals, Stoosh moto (via Nordstrom).<br />5-6: WHBM dress, Nanette Lepore jacket, My Choice clutch (via Yoox), Naturalizer shoes. </p>
