Critique my Lookeiro?

This is not sponsored , I'm not advertising or angling to sign people up. I don't work for them- all these facts will become obvious as I think I look shit in all of it.
I love the t shirt detail and like the culottes snd skirt but I'm just too fat of middle and too short I think. Give me your views !
Loved having tucked in waist but think maybe narrower would be better. Skirt lovely and I'm losing weight so maybe ok with good knickers and a different top but I'm not overwhelmed. The bag they sent us lush mind you. And handbags ALWAYS FIT. But I don't need a bag. Do I? I could start another thread on bags. How many I own is dreadful but some (a lot) are cheap and bought for a night out and I'd lose happily. I've no pic but this new one is sage teen quilted leather. Small cross body with gold chain strap so a bit nice for summer drinks out. Keep or lose ? £60...
excuse messy bedroom with endless charity bags and baskets of kids clothes they've outgrown...

Yes, it’s not you it’s them

rosemary35 · 28/04/2021 08:16

@polkadotpjs you look about 2 dress sizes smaller in your own clothes. Never let this weird company dress you again!

Frequentflier · 28/04/2021 08:17

You look much better in this outfit. I have a similar shape to yours, thanks again to peri-menopause. I have found loose shirts work best on my top half, not clingy tees. And dark, not pale colours, on my top half. Something fitted on bottom half.

LaMarschallin · 28/04/2021 08:18

You look like a different person in the jeans and striped top in a really, really good way.
I'm an apple and you've definitely got more of a waist than I have.

This Lookeiro?
Not a Good Thing, it seems.

MonkeyNotOrgangrinder · 28/04/2021 08:20

Yy you look great in your own clothes. Is there any chance that someone you have terribly wronged in the past has now got a job at lookeiro? Just a thought Grin

rookiemere · 28/04/2021 08:21

OP you look so much better in your own clothes. Your shape is very much like mine - a curvy hourglass with good legs and arms. I rarely wear skirts as the waist bit doesn't work for me, but jeans/top combos and a lot of dresses do.

Squiz81 · 28/04/2021 08:21

You look so much better in your own stuff!!

The clothes they sent you were awful, please don’t think it’s you making them look bad, they did that all on their own.

Nonmaquillee · 28/04/2021 08:21

Sorry if this sounds harsh but the clothes in the first three photos really don't flatter you - especially the t-shirt over the short skirt. Please send these clothes back and save your money.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 28/04/2021 08:27

They are all awful, quality and style wise. It looks like Per Una circa 1993 and doesn't flatter you in colour or shape. They are so frumpy too, more like what my 70 yo mother would look at and I would tell her she isnt old enough yet Grin

You look 100% better in your own clothes. I thought you were apple shaped (like me) in the first pics but in your own clothes you have a very defined waist and look more pear shaped. All the fussy details around the waist and hips are very unflattering to probably all but supermodels!

Spottybluepyjamas · 28/04/2021 08:32

Your clothes are definitely better! The Lookiero ones are awful. It's 100% not you.

Itsallhere · 28/04/2021 08:32

100% better in your own clothes op

NoSiree · 28/04/2021 08:33

You look really gorgeous in your own clothes! You have a lovely shape and know how to dress yourself better than they do, definitely.

WindyPudding · 28/04/2021 08:33

I think you look loads better in the figure-hugging top! I’ve found this myself - I’m drawn to voluminous things and think I’ll look better in them but I tend to look more like a sack of potatoes. Closer-fitting things or things that go in at the waist are more flattering even though I have a far from flat tummy.

I also think you’d look great in a dress - eg a skimming long/midi jersey dress or one with a nipped in waist.

The other thing about your t-shirt and skirt look is that it’s trying to do that sporty/floral combo like you get at hush and other places, but doing it wrong. The t-shirt looks too much like actual football kit and the skirt it too full at the top, and that’s what gives it the mismatched/jumble sale vibe. A bright, slightly cropped sweatshirt and longer, flared or tiered print skirt would give more the look they were aiming for.

Drybird2020 · 28/04/2021 08:38

You look fab in your own stripey top. You do have a waist, it just wasn't apparent in those dreadful clothes! Don't let those sadists dress you again.

Tippexy · 28/04/2021 08:39

Is that a gaping pocket on the front of the skirt? Have you got it on the right way round?

Hereforthedramaz · 28/04/2021 08:42

I wouldn't wear any of these items and definitely not together.

As Pp have said a much more fitted top with similar trousers but in a dark colour would look fab on you.

Is this the first box you've had? Because I use lookiero (and stitch fix which is more Uk high street focused) and have had some really nice pieces I wouldn't have found or tried if I were shopping myself, but it does take a while for them to learn. Especially if like me you have a figure which cannot wear anything (and are a bit fussy/ specific) about styles and fits.

I'd recommend giving it a few more goes but I've definitely had boxes where they have totally missed the mark!

Happymum12345 · 28/04/2021 08:54

Return them. I think your figure would look good in a dress. It would be different if you liked them all, but you don’t. £60’isna lot of money too.

Roszie · 28/04/2021 08:54

So much better in your own clothes.

SouthOfFrance · 28/04/2021 08:57

Op you honestly look completely different in your own clothes! If I was you, I'd just take your £170 and get yourself some nice items yourself!

CorianderBee · 28/04/2021 09:12

Nope I don't think they do anything for you - I'd switch stylist.

I've had a box where I kept literally everything and another where not one piece fit nicely. It's hit and miss but you get some lovely European brands.

BoringBettie · 28/04/2021 09:13

You look great in your own clothes and have a great figure. I would return all those beige clothes. They don’t look like they are worth the money!

CorianderBee · 28/04/2021 09:14

Have you made a Pinterest board of styles/ outfits you like? You can pop a link into the requests box and they'll look at it

lurkingfromhome · 28/04/2021 09:19

Also, you haven't even shown your face in the photos and it's still quite obvious that the strong, dark colours of your own clothes suit you a million times better than those hideous washed-out shades of beige and misery that the company was trying to palm off on you.

GameSetMatch · 28/04/2021 09:22

I looked at the picture before I read your post, I thought it was a joke and you were wearing charity shop clothes, send it all back! The clothes are awful!

Couchbettato · 28/04/2021 09:28

The linen pants are the closest thing to acceptable and that's a reach.
