I'm not really comfortable wearing them, especially with slim pants. I'm more the flowy top with flowy pants girl. But you look good in either silhouette. <br /><br />I've always liked your style, Audrey. You have a good sense of what you like and what looks good on you.

They would look great over a tank top and slim pants in the same color.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-74768308967401977132017-02-25T06:31:08.749-05:002017-02-25T06:31:08.749-05:00Well, this makes me miss the G Street $2.97 table!...Well, this makes me miss the G Street $2.97 table!

Some of us though have less reliable intuition, give in to curiousity over practicality, are overly swayed by how good it looks on the young slim model, and in these cases being tied down by rules becomes very useful.Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-19286356904873695462017-02-22T11:38:24.161-05:002017-02-22T11:38:24.161-05:00I like both outfits and think they look great on y...I like both outfits and think they look great on you but 7474 really looks nice.

In fact you look quite chic & statuesque! The other Tunic is perhas more practical for everyday life, but you in that 2nd tunic's would certainly turn my head. Would that be consider sexual harassment? 😉 It is a shame that compliments on look are Verbotten. While no one wants to be judged purely on appearance, seems a bit harsh & cold to forbid such compliments especially if there's nothing sexual in the compliment like being called "sexy" or "hot". <br /><br />overflowingstashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15541994272534658220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-58337310677480904342017-02-20T00:58:56.207-05:002017-02-20T00:58:56.207-05:00Poor Mark, how close he came!

Not that long ago anything not fitted almost to the point of seams popping was considered sloppy. Now many silhouettes are so voluminous they can swallow you up. Staying "current" is sooo difficult.

I sometimes put fusible knit interfacing on hems - it can give them a little more weight- but that is usually a wider strip that is then caught in the hem (hand) stitching. The directions with the narrow strips is perplexing.Jen Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168401135498974644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-67910380111651164912017-02-19T16:29:39.995-05:002017-02-19T16:29:39.995-05:00I like both of your renditions.
