my first outfits post

Chelle - thanks for posting. These are great. My fav is your first outfit. I love the bright blue of the second one and prefer it with the jacket. I wonder if the longer top merits more of a skinnier jean? I absolutely adore your red bag. and what a cute guest appearance by your little one!

Love the first outift! The second one is really informal, the blouse seems too big...

Could you belt the blue top? will make it shorter or like shiaya said with skinny jeans x

Love the first outfit and you have a great smile! I'm all into stripes lately so that black&white stripes make the outfit along with the red bag for me.

I love the top part of the second one with the scarf and jacket. There are some fit problems with the top and the jeans I think. Angie and others would be better to chime in there. I think the top is calling for skinny jeans (maybe not to the church), but I might be biased. I am actually wearing a top like that with skinnies, flats and a boyfriend blazer right now.

great outfit, love the moto and great red bag! I'm not sure about the top length, so I will differ to the other gals

Saturday seems great. try turning the flash off on your camera to avoid the flash reflection :-0

I love Sunday's outfit with the jacket. the top length seems fine under the jacket.
without the jacket though it does seem a bit big and long. on it's own that blue top seems overpowering. somthing more fitted and with a v-neck would probably be more flattering. adding the jacket gives you the tailored look and the vertical line which makes a big difference.

your beautiful smile is your best accessory! and your hair is great too

Oh my gosh!You are so pretty and your little baby on the bed is adorable, and looks like you with those big brown eyes.
I love your color combos. The red bag is beautiful and especially with the turquise blouse and the other colors you have in shoes and scarf. Very, very nice, summery, cheerful.

Thank you for all the kind comments.

About the blue top, it is a v-neck (or rather more of a u.) It has some detailingn around the neck, and would look pretty without the scarf. I was wondering if I should have it taken in along the sides a bit? shortened?

Regarding the scarf...I ended up sliding the knot down a bit, which I think looked better. I also need to learn how to tie them. That was my first attempt at an Angie knot...or something like it. LOL

The first outfit looks fantastic from what I can see - I can't really judge the fit of the jacket with your arm up like that though.

The cream jacket is really pretty too, but it doesn't fit my dear Chellebrate. It needs to be at least a size smaller. Do you have the same impression as I do?

Crap. Excuse my language. I don't even know what fits and what doesn't. *sigh* I guess thinking positively that's why I'm here.

I won't be able to retrun the cream jacket, because I've worn it. Maybe I could sell it? I'm afraid the medium won't fit around my bust. : ( Honestly, I didn't even try the smaller one on.

Chelle, you are here to learn with the rest of us! Don't worry. You'll be sorted in no time.

Jackets don't need to close over the bust (coats obviously do). In fact, leaving them open creates a long lean line down the front of the body which is very flattering. Go back to a few of Khris's posts. Most of her jackets don't close through the front and that's okay! They fit everywhere else though.

Thank you, Angie. I checked out Khris' outfits with jackets and see the difference in fit. I've learned something today at least. Now I have a denim jacket to take back to replace the one I've had for years that is way too big.
