Angie, I will try with my white blazer as well.</p> <p>Olive and unfrumped, I do wear the knit tunic with full length skinnies and also leggings.&nbsp; Just wanted to try something different with the cuffed pants this time.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1480072 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 15:02:51 +0000 Angie 1480072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job experimenting, Diana. </p> <p>I like the belted tunic best sans jacket - too high contrast. A low contrast jacket would create a continuous line on top - which to my eye - creates better proportions with the too long top for the skirt.&nbsp; </p> <p>Of course, the last outfit is super duper.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1480042 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 13:54:52 +0000 Tanya 1480042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the proportions and colors in the first outfit.&nbsp; I wouldn't think they would look good, yet they are amazing!&nbsp; Lovely hand knit tunic in the second outfit too!&nbsp; I have also been on a tunic kick&nbsp; this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1480027 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 13:24:10 +0000 unfrumped 1480027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The teal blazer is inspired, with that. I'm not as sure of the top by itself , as somehow I like the structure sngmd grounding the blazer adds. I'm mors conventional, though.<br /> The gray tunic is adorable ( in good way) on you and the jeans are fine. I would guess you do leggings too? You can really wear the tunic look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1480001 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 12:33:52 +0000 Olivegreen 1480001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the handknit is lovely. Did you do that? What patience!<br /> Maybe with full length jeans to make it a little long and leaner? i am short, too, and could care less about looking short, LOL, but have to admit that some things look better if I do the conventional flattery thing with proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1479292 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 00:36:52 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1479292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The proportions look really good in the no. 1 photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1479086 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 17:33:38 +0000 kellygirl 1479086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt version especially.

May I ask, where do you find a Minnie Rose tunic?&nbsp; I am not familiar with that name.&nbsp; <br />I like the structured pop of color jacket with your tunic.&nbsp; Great great idea.&nbsp; <br />Your hand-knit sweater tunic look rocks.&nbsp; Beautiful work.&nbsp; It is perfect.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1479067 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:26:14 +0000 Diana 1479067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!</p> <p>Joy (et al): I hadn't thought about the grinning much at all, but I think you're right that the sheerness works in my favor here because it prevents the top part from being a huge block of plain white. &nbsp;</p> <p>Dixie, what kind of shoes would you wear with the blazer outfit?<div><br />Dee, I am VERY short waisted. &nbsp;I have something like 1 inch between my hip bone and lowest rib on the side. &nbsp;Remember a few years ago when those big wide elastic belts were all the rage? &nbsp;They were SO uncomfortable on me, especially since I get all weirdly panicky when I have things pressing on my ribs. &nbsp;</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1479041 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:28:15 +0000 Dee 1479041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both but first one looks extra modern and spring-like. The sheerness of the blouse with the rest of the layers works really well. The thin belt was the way to go. Are you short-waisted? I'm short and short-waisted and can never make a wider belt work because I don't have enought of a waist!</p> <p>I am also impressed by your handknits, as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1478920 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 11:44:09 +0000 lyn67 1478920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just L.O.V.E. the longer length of the white tunic with the striped midi skirt! So glad you posted, will give it a try for myself, too. Other tunic is also great! I have had always trouble styling tunics, need to see more of them to learn! &nbsp; </p> <p>And yes, I also have experienced, the grinning helps a lot!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1478853 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 05:32:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1478853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great outfits, Diana! I like the way the boots dress down the skirt-and-blazer look, too. The belt works really well--nicely done! The handknit tunic is just stunning, and the second outfit is just perfection. It's a classic "Diana" look, in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1478843 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 04:42:43 +0000 AJ 1478843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm surprised that the tunic + midi skirt + calf boots doesn't look stumpy. You must have long legs! </p> <p>I really like the blazer outfit! The pop of color with the stripes plus boots are a fun combo.</p> <p>Your second outfit made me think of this look that I want to copy:<br /> <a href="http://www.shop-foglinen.com/products/fiona-dress-blue-nuit" rel="nofollow">http://www.shop-foglinen.com/p.....-blue-nuit</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1478841 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 04:40:05 +0000 Beth Ann 1478841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both looks --- the last one particularly.&nbsp; Your handknits are so well formed and fitted!&nbsp; The lower cuff works with the proportions of the tunic.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1478802 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 03:16:44 +0000 Jaime 1478802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The teal is a great color with the black and white. The belt is adds. The hand knit tunic outfit looks terrific too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1478790 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 02:57:28 +0000 Dixie 1478790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the blazer, I would use different shoes. The proportions look perfect without the blazer. And last outfit works too, nice and casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1478773 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 02:28:39 +0000 rachylou 1478773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are really great.

Clever to pop that pretty colored jacket over...super cute...I like the last outfit, too! You look terrific in tunics:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1478754 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 01:47:30 +0000 Anonymous 1478754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the sheerness and grinning actually add something to the outfit. There is a softness and even difference in proportions than if I imagine the tunic as opaque. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1478726 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 01:04:59 +0000 Karie 1478726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the proportions look fine. I really like the pop of color from the blazer. I might just have to copy this!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-tunics-belted-and-unbelted#post-1478648 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 22:28:22 +0000 Diana 1478648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wanting to try the belted tunic look even before Angie posted about it on Monday. &nbsp;I finally got the chance to try it out today. &nbsp;This white silk tunic is kind of problematic on its own, as it's a little too long (I think) and tends to get stuck between my legs when I wear it with pants. &nbsp;Belting it makes it a little shorter, and I got around the second problem by pairing it with my VC tube skirt (I think someone mentioned in the blog comments that the tube skirt might be a good possibility for the bottom half). I think this look works best with a skinny belt (at least on short waisted me). &nbsp;It stays put pretty well, despite the shirt being slippery silk. &nbsp;Popped my turquoise knit blazer over the top. I am showing the outfit without the blazer as well just so you can see the tunic, but I kept the blazer on all day and I don't think I like it without the blazer anyway. &nbsp;What do you think of the proportions here? &nbsp;I tried it first with my more cropped and structured Nanette Lepore jacket, which I liked and may have been more conventionally flattering but it felt WAY too formal and overdressed for lab, so I swapped it out for the more casual, knit, colored one instead.</p> <p>(Warning: there is a lot of grinning. &nbsp;I don't care.) &nbsp;</p> <p>(Nic+Zoe blazer, Minnie Rose tunic, VC tube skirt, Ann Taylor belt, Frye boots)</p> <p>Last photo is my outfit from yesterday. &nbsp;Another tunic, this one handknit. I &nbsp;did try belting that one too but the knit was too thick and it felt yucky and lumpy. &nbsp;What do you think of the pants length here? &nbsp;It's a little longer than I normally wear BFs but I wanted to try something a little different and I thought these KUT catherines were narrow enough that I could get away with a lower cuff. &nbsp;</p> <p>(handknit tunic, BR tee, KUT jeans, Seychelles booties) </p>
