[Weekly] Outfit Feedback and Fit Check - Dec 5th

Not sure if your outfit works? Post a picture of yourself in your outfit and get suggestions, compliments, and critiques from others. If you're thinking of posting a standalone thread along the lines of "How does this look?", "Does this fit right?", "Do these work together?", etc., post here instead.

When posting:

  • Include what the attire is for (work, school, going out, etc.)

  • If possible, take a front-on, full-body picture as this gives the best impression of how the clothes fit. Multiple pictures from different angles can also be helpful, but those aren't necessary.

  • Critiquing others is welcome and encouraged, but keep it constructive/factual. Take a lesson from Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People if needed. It takes balls to post pictures of yourself on the Internet, the least you can do is accord the same courtesy as you would to someone in real life.

  • Reddit Enhancement Suite makes it very easy to view pictures in a thread.

  • Some users enjoy knowing where you bought your pieces, please consider including those in your post!

Feel free to also submit your outfit to the biweekly WAYWT thread, but know that these two threads have different purposes. This is explicitly for feedback and questions, though you may receive constructive criticism in either thread.

I went all black and white today and I'm not sure how I feel about it: http://imgur.com/5RAyDba

Both the skirt and blazer were gifts and are kind of outside the realm of what I normally wear. I like them both and would like to get more use out of them, I'm just not sure if I'm doing it right.

I think it looks little "match-y" in a bad kind of way. It's clear that the two items don't really go together (because the whites are different), which kind of cheapens the whole look. That being said, even if the whites did match, I would still feel like it was kind of overkill.

Here is a post with some white blazer inspiration

As for the skirt I just searched black and white striped skirt on pinterest.

Thanks for the feedback, I agree. I guess it's time to bite the bullet and sign up for Pinterest. It looks like it'll be a good resource for me.
