I wonder how it would have made me look if I had said that weird sentence.

Is the above natural?

 said that weird sentence isn't quite as natural as the rest of it, but it's OK.

The first part can be combined in thousands of ways with different endings, however, and sound very natural:

I wonder how it would have made me look if I had ...

done that.

worn the blue shirt. 

stood on my head. 

stepped in the mud.

put the lampshade on my head.
