Should I get bigger hoops than the ones I am wearing in the picture? Look forward to getting your styling opinions on the skirt.</p> <p>Una - You got me pegged! That top and skirt were working so well with my torso's current state of appleness. Hee-hee!</p> <p>Debora - You put a big smile on my face!</p> <p>Rute - I like the idea of white skinnies! I'm putting that on my shopping list ASAP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-316535 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:43:43 +0000 rute 316535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go for white skinnies!<br /> Those sandals are lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-316533 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:42:25 +0000 Lisa 316533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another skinnies vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-316212 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 00:42:40 +0000 celia 316212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for skinnies.<br /> That skirt is lovely but with another shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-316193 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 00:27:24 +0000 Debora 316193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would work if the skirt were shorter, or belted with this particular skirt. I would like to see it with skinnies, too.</p> <p>AJ, I was at the oral surgeon's office yesterday with my son (wisdom teeth consult) and saw your picture again in the waiting room copy of In Style. Couldn't resist showing it off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-316176 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 00:01:54 +0000 Aida 316176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for skinnies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-316172 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 23:56:46 +0000 crwilson 316172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pieces, but I agree with everyone else about pairing the top with skinnies instead of the skirt. Unlike most others, though, I guess I'd like to see you work with the skirt because I like it so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-316073 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 21:42:14 +0000 catgirl 316073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need skinnies with that fab top! I love this kind of proportion though - especially when I'm going out to eat, so I don't have to suck it all in later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-316027 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:55:28 +0000 rae 316027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just reaffirming what everyone else has said... sorry. I think longer skirts look better with shorter tops, and tunics do look better with skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315997 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:20:36 +0000 Angie 315997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for skinnies and add big earrings! We'll work on the skirt another time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315981 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:03:51 +0000 amyreh 315981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, i vote for changing the pants for skinnies or the top for something shorter and not sure I love the shoes with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315980 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:02:23 +0000 Queen Mum 315980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yep.. the top is too long for the skirt. the shoes don't bother me at all, but you need to either change the shirt or the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315979 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:00:50 +0000 taylor 315979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you add a belt in the same color as the shoe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315974 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 19:54:59 +0000 Diana 315974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the top is too long and is making your legs look very short. It might work if you added a high belt, like at or above your natural waist - I know it would work on me, but I have a high and very defined waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315923 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:53:42 +0000 Jonesy 315923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of the top paired with skinny jeans, but I think the top could maybe work with this type of skirt if the skirt were shorter (above the knee a few inches). I love those shoes, but I'm not keen on them with the top/skirt combo (more about the color/style for me--I don't care for earthy brown with a graphic black-and-white look--than the shape of the shoe). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315922 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:53:06 +0000 CocoLion 315922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Kellygirl and Mo said.</p> <p>If you wear tapered pants, you can keep the shoes on. I would also wear a long necklace to balance the neckline.</p> <p>Love the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315919 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:49:37 +0000 kellygirl 315919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the top is just too long for this. I vote for skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315915 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:47:37 +0000 sinead 315915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried it with different shoes? I think it's the shoes. Even though the top is long, it seems like it could work with the right shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315913 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:46:17 +0000 Mo 315913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd put that top with skinnies or other slim pants. The proportions do look a bit wonky this way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315911 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:45:42 +0000 MsMary 315911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd belt the top and change out the shoes for a coolor color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315905 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:43:16 +0000 annagybe 315905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this skirt, but the top is way too long. And the high vamp shoes are cutting you off. Plus I don't think that color of shoe is right nude for the rest of the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wonky-proportions#post-315901 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:41:24 +0000 AJ 315901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what I'm wearing today. I thrifted this skirt last summer and haven't worn it until now. It's a stetchy knit with the cool swirl pattern in grey, black and white. I feel comfy in this, but looking at the photo, I look disproportionate. Do I need to change before heading out this evening? Can I make it better somehow? Help please! </p>
