Loot: Round I - YouLookFab Forum

Today I received the peep toe flats, denim short shorts, and boho-ish blouse.

The flats are disappointingly nude instead of the creamy color they appeared to be online. But I'm tempted to keep them anyway because they are really, really comfy. They might be the first pair of peep toes that don't bite into my toes at all. I've never been a huge fan of nude shoes but I suppose it's not a bad thing to have in my closet. Certainly I don't need any more black shoes.

The shorts I'm not sure of. They are at once huge in the waist and fitted at the thigh, which I think is the opposite of what I want. I don't think sizing up or down would help. They just don't seem right for my body type. I never thought of my thighs as being particularly meaty, but I seem to consistently have this problem. I am thinking of trying some brands that are good for pears...Joe's Jeans maybe?

The blouse is another one of those yay from the front, nay from the side things. I have had this problem with fabric pulling a few times now. Should I try sizing up?

I would like to call Zappos to get any exchanges I need processed tonight, which is why this is a Realtime.

Love the shoes! I see what you mean about the shorts, not quite right. Eh on the blouse.

I completely agree with annagybe! Although I may not be the best person to judge shorts since I haven't worn them in about 10 years!
I really love the shoes! What brand are they?

These are the shoes:

Should anyone decide to try them, I found they ran 1/2 a size big. I didn't want to go too big otherwise I wouldn't be able to fill out the peep toe. I do have short toes though.

If you kept the shorts you'd have to get them tailored in the waist. So if they were uber cheap this might be worth it, but otherwise I would return.

I think you can do better with the blouse. Size up if you like it, but I'd say it's not really cut for girls with cleavage...

The shoes, however, are adorable!

I wonder if these were intended to be boyfriend style shorts, as mine fit quite large in the waist and not so roomy in the thighs. I think the shoes are great, even though not the color you originally thought. Like Anna, I find the blouse 'eh'.

I also see the problem with the shorts and am not crazy about the blouse. Shoes are cute!

The shoes are cute! The shorts and blouse are ok...I do see what you mean about the shorts. They could stretch out some, but I think you could probably do better.

I tried the Madewell denim shorts and wasn't excited about them for a similar reason. The rise is kind of high and the thighs are relatively fitted. I may post a picture of them later. So I'm still looking!

shoes = yay! (so what if not cream, you will likely wear these a lot)
shorts = nay (too tight around the thigh area so not as flattering as they could be)
top = meh (I think you could find a better top that flatters)

Like the shoes, the bow is cute and they seem to extend the legline anyway, despite the nude color not being as expected. The shorts, eh, I don't care for these. Odd how they fit. Well I am bottom heavy and my shorts for pear shape me are: AT khaki colored pair with a 41/2" inseam from last summer closest I can find this year on the site, a pair of Kut form the Kloth Bermuda shorts again from last summer and now on sale, and a pair of Caslon Twill Bermuda shortsfrom this season. Tailoring shorts are a way of life for me, the AT had the waist taken in, and both Bermuda's had the length taken up one cuff, the pockets sewn shut and the waist taken in, a pain at first to double the costs but now they fit like a dream. I stay away from cuffed shorts, they draw attention to my thighs, exactly what I don't want to do. The blouse pulls a bit around the bust and if you size up, will the shoulders droop too much?

Agree with the general consensus. Keep shoes that work for your feet. Blouse and shorts you can find better!!!

I agree on the shirt and shorts not being quite right. I'm not a good judge of flats.

Gap had some fab baggy denim shorts last year. I think your waist is smaller than mine proportionately, but you could size up and use a belt to get the baggy effect.

I love the shoes - keep - and they work for your feet so that's a big score. I agree that you can do better with the top and shorts. The joys of online shopping!!

Fab shoes!

I much preferred the first boho blouse you tried on and I can't remember where it was from. UO?

I see that the shorts are not quite the fit you are after. I'd hit Forever 21 and Old Navy for shorts.

Yes, it was UO. I sent it back because it was basically a see-through tent. I just couldn't feel comfortable in it.

I'll check out ON and Forever 21 this week.

Too bad that top was transparent. It looked so good in the photos!

Love the shoes and blouse! Why not size up with the blouse and wear it belted? The situation with the shorts I know so well! From past experience: it might look all right (which yours really do) but it's so uncomfortable if it feels that the pants are falling off (from the too wide waist) and riding up (from the tight hip/leg area) at the same time!

Aida

Agree with Anna's analysis: great shoes, shorts are close but not quite what you're looking for, and eh on the blouse. The shoes are really cute

EDIT: Hope you find something at F21 or ON and post about it, I'm also looking for similar shorts 0:)
