K/r sale goggles?

bj1111

I love the pants material and the swish. But I am sensitive about my tummy. I thought these pants looked fine in the mirror but the pictures tell a different story.

The shirt is also a k/r. Love the pattern, and it fits in the shoulder and torso but the sleeves are quite exuberant.

Maybe both need to be paired with slimmer pieces?

I like the pieces and do not see a problem with your tummy, but you are the one who must feel fabulous in this outfit. You could play with the tie on the top to try for more coverage. I think I would keep the outfit but if it does not make you feel fabulous or is too much work, return and keep looking.

I love the drama of both pieces. I am not so keen on the long tie as shown in the second photo, but maybe if it were styled differently?

Try the tie in a square knot or big bow.

Great pants. I am also sensitive about my tummy and I don't see a big tummy here. Not sure about the top, maybe with a sleeker bottom as you suggested.

Agree with Donna re fit and styling. In relation to the K/R question, how much do you like these pieces and when and where will you wear them? They look great, but whether they are practical for your lifestyle would be the main deciding factors for me.

They're both great, but yes to pairing with slimmer pieces if they feel too much together.

I like both pieces. The pants in particular look fabulous. But you could wear them separately if they feel like too much together.

Love those pants!
I like the top, but will all of that fabric bother you? It would annoy me, which would be a deciding factor for me.

Oh pants are great! Who makes those?
The shirt sleeves don’t bother me visually- but might wear with slimmer bottoms. Not as keen on the tie -is it removable for versatility? But also agre with trying different “ tying” techniques.

I like both! I’d be curious to see how each piece pairs with simpler supporting acts as well.

Re: the top, how do you envision wearing the tie? It is rather long left to hang vertically, but I’m not big on bows at the neck, especially paired with the exuberant sleeves (which I love). I’d consider having the ties shortened so you can wear it loosely tied in a simple knot further down from the neck. But that’s my personal bias.

I like these, but maybe not together. I feel like there should be more skin or structure somewhere, to help balance out all the fluidity, if that makes sense. That said, I don’t see any tummy issue and love the potential to play with styling.

Both look like good/interesting pieces. The colours and pattern of the top is beautiful with your colouring, but it is a lot of ‘look’ though not quite ALGO in my opinion. The bottoms are an easier ‘yes’. They look like they would work with you current style (that you share via your WIW posts). It takes a while, and sometimes a few tries to get the wide pant look sorted out. Also, pleated waists are tricky, but not impossible. I did a lot of returns before I found a version that worked for me - but I’ve been wearing mine for two years now, and wide leg trousers seem to be enjoying a resurgence.

Gorgeous pieces - fab on you! The pants look amazing - no any area problem whatsoever, the blouse is a fun piece - maybe a bit trickier to handle ( big tie - bow ).

Love the pants on you. Like you, I’m always cautious how pants make my tummy look.In this case, I don’t see any issues. They will look great once you shorten them.
As for the top, sorry, not a fan. Too much happening - print, a neck tie, big sleeves. But it’s my minimal aesthetic speaking

I like both pieces, especially the pants. I don’t care for them together. Can you post some pictures of them separately?

KILLER x2 once the pants are hemmed. Absolutely gorgeous fit. I think I need to steal them.

Also, make sure the exuberant sleeves don’t get in the way of life. Like layering, typing, eating, IYKWIM. Maybe wear it around the house a bit first, but don’t eat soup….

It’s hard to get used to pleated pants & wide legs after so many years of flat front & skinny
I love theses…they have a drama that I love. On the other hand maybe the blouse has to much drama…as Angie mentioned might need to do a little test run to make sure it works with you instead of against you.

Love the pants. Can you get through the day with the sleeves, or will they get in the way?

I love them both on you! Definitely keep the pants. With the blouse, it depends on how wearable you feel it is. The look is super fab in my book. And I like it with the pants.

Both pieces are beautiful, as are you in them I'm ultra self conscious about my non-flat stomach and relate to your sensitivity. I don't see an issue here.

I love the pants and think the top is fab, but I like it best when the long tie is pulled to the side (maybe you could create a small bow then tuck the tails into your waistband, if that makes any sense :)? I think you handle the drama of these pieces beautifully!
