Just back from collecting the suit from the alterations people and I am still in happy land... Molly, I had very dark hair and was very much a winter and find I still seem to work with bright colours and you are right, more whites and green and pinks seem to work now. I like navy too but to get enough base pieces in my fitting is problematic hence my love-hate with black... Suz, yes home in a few weeks - remember before I left I was so excited - it has been amazing but I so miss my family after nearly 3 months. DH has been painting my wardrobe, repositioning the mirror etc so hopefully better photos when I get home... I will go to the shop who does have some fixed wrap tops to go under the suit so might grab on or two - I am wearing a wrap top now in&nbsp;fact&nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-london-business-long-w-photos#post-949910 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:01:19 +0000 Suz 949910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jen, the linen suit is <b>GORGEOUS</b> on you. Absolutely fabulous. What a lovely cut and colour. You will look wonderful in that and any one of the tops you've suggested. I also really like the look of the white jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wish I could see the other things better, but from your descriptions, this all sounds great. And I like the mix and match possibilities with what is at home, as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>The need for accessories will depend on the style of the tops and your tolerance for same.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you do wraps well? Maybe a wrap top, in that case, like some of Thistle's recent purchases? But really, a simple shell under the jacket (or button down) would be great, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not sure I agree with Molly that you are a "spring." Of course it is difficult to say, because we haven't been seeing you in proper light for quite some time, LOL! But I was thinking you are cool toned.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-london-business-long-w-photos#post-949723 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:08:17 +0000 Molly L-R 949723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Further to this, on the subject of colours:&nbsp; I've just discovered a clothing company called Kettlewell who make clothes according to the principle of colour analysis.&nbsp; I reckon you're a Spring (but again, I'm not a qualified colour analyst, just an interested lay person, so use your own judgment).&nbsp; Anyway, this is a link to the colours that will supposedly suit you.&nbsp; From the colours listed, the ones I think would go best with what you already have are Teaberry, Grass Green,&nbsp;Azure and Blue Hyacinth, with Cream as a neutral.&nbsp; You may or may not want to purchase from them, or just use the colours as ideas when looking in other shops.&nbsp; Anyway, have fun!</p> <p><a href="http://www.kettlewellcolours.co.uk/season/spring" rel="nofollow">http://www.kettlewellcolours.co.uk/season/spring</a>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-london-business-long-w-photos#post-949716 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 11:55:05 +0000 Molly L-R 949716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ink blue/white patterned top&nbsp;and&nbsp;lemon yellow tops are great.&nbsp; IMHO, black is not the best colour for your skin tone and navy would be a better neutral, but feel free to take that advice with a pinch of salt.&nbsp; Suggestions re: tops - more tops in warm, light colours in styles that are comfortable for you to wear, with off white as a light-coloured neutral.&nbsp; Just my £0.02! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-london-business-long-w-photos#post-949636 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 07:28:36 +0000 jenanded 949636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>End of next week I start about a week of conference in London. I need to be comfortable to do 14 hour days but at the same time there are some big situations for me - renegotiating book contract, taking over international Chair role, important presentation to people I don't yet know... I have been looking for a new power suit on trip to no avail. I have just discovered Long Tall Sally - an entire store of clothes and shoes that fit my 5'9" size 16 frame with 43 shoes... Here are a few outfits I made up with a new black and white linen suit, a new pair of crepe slouchy pants, and some of my things I bought. Importantly I found a pair of pointy toe low stilettos a la Angie that fit! (and pantyhose but there is another story!)... I have to get the pants and cuffs hemmed but what do you think?&nbsp; Sorry about the photos - its very dark here in Scotland even inside!</p> <p>#1 the suit and stilletos (yes to be hemmed)... Realise I need a top to wear under. I have black and this mauve is just an old navy cotton top. Perhaps a white tank? I have a white button down with french cuffs which could be another day? But look Ma - the waist hits the waist!! wahoo<br />#2 crepe slouchies with a print silky top and my jersey jacket (YLF retro top noted)<br />#3 slouchies with black tank and white leather Danier<br />#4 black skirt, off white peplum top (new) and black jacket<br />#5 black skirt, black wrap top</p> <p>I also have my black wrap dress that I will do an Ingunn to with a hermes look silk scarf etc. Also got a very dark wash pair of jeans and some nude smooth leather flats so could do with a jacket dress down on prep,&nbsp;last day etc. There is also a lovely white jacket at the store which I might go back and get (See pic)&nbsp;... then I can endlessly match black white greys...&nbsp;At home I have cobalt boyfriend jacket and magenta cropped jacket. Oh and have a denim jacket with me as well so I can mix some more things up...</p> <p>Any suggestions for tops which I think I need more of - styles colours? And I know camera is in the way but think I need necklace/accessories for the tops?&nbsp; Here are a few options - again I am in puppy-heaven that waists are on waists and the knits are long and roomy enough but still fitted on the shoulders...</p>
