Can always look out.</p> <p>Nicole I bought the sleeves mock top years ago and I haven't seen many styles like that - but I will look out for them</p> <p>Thanks for comments re slimness! I can only wear that purple skirt at the most advantageous times of the month (it is acutally the last garment I ever made myself, and dates pre-kids) which is probably why I look slimmer. Most skirts, including the denim have moments of being too big </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51484 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 17:42:50 +0000 greenglove 51484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone and do not have much to add. I prefer the second top. You are looking really beautiful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51481 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 17:35:30 +0000 Nicole 51481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both outfits a lot, Anne. (and I'm happy to see you in some more delicate sandals!) </p> <p>I wouldn't really consider either of those tops "tee shirts". To me, a tee shirt has just as much to do with the shape and fit of the shirt, as it does the fabric.</p> <p>You look amazingly slim in both outfits, especially the second one. Any chance of you duplicating that sleeveless mock t-neck in some more colors? I think that's a really great look on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51478 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 17:16:31 +0000 Maya 51478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very pretty. Way out of my budget and not appropriate at all for my lifestyle, but pretty! </p> <p>Unfortunately I don't think it helps Anne since she is in Australia. Good inspiration though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51477 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 17:10:16 +0000 shana 51477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, I love that second BR cowl neck top! I've also developed a cowl neck addiction this past year. But you are definitely the cowl neck queen - you should definitely add to your collection. I love the sisal one - need to stalk it to see if it goes on sale. I have the same issue when I wear some cardigans with a cowl neck (and I am definitely well endowed) . I think it's more of an issue with this type where the cowl parts starts at the shoulder rather than just at the neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51466 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 15:56:14 +0000 shiny 51466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I hit BR and their new monogram line has a few great skirt top choices. They aren't knits - they are luxurious silk fabrics, with a hint of stretch. Price is high but if they go on sale I may snap up a few. I tried on these two:</p> <p><a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/outfit.do?cid=40619&#038;oid=OUT14149" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....d=OUT14149</a></p> <p>and</p> <p><a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/outfit.do?cid=40619&#038;oid=OUT14133" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....d=OUT14133</a></p> <p>The second one is shown tucked in, but it is definetly skirt length like the first. (and I tried on the regular because they don't come in petites). Everyone knows I love cowl necks, so I am very tempted to get both the sisal and the blue, if they go on sale. The only thing that makes me hesitate is that when you pop a cardi or other layer over, the cowl kinda bunches up funny. I think this is because the top would be perfection for someone more endowed than I am.... (Nicole, Maya.... are you reading this??)</p> <p>Anne, these may not be the best choice for your lifestyle right now, but I can vouch that these are very breezy and would be quite cool for hot summer days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51441 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 03:40:11 +0000 Angie 51441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking SO skinny, Anne! </p> <p>First of all, that’s not a basic T-shirt – it’s a very casual knitted top probably in basic T-shirt fabric. The silhouette looks good with the skirt. It passes the test :-)</p> <p>I like the second top on you too. Keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51284 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 09:18:06 +0000 Louise 51284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The navy top looks great with the purple skirt x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51277 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 04:35:16 +0000 Chris 51277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your second top is a good one to go with skirts. It seems like a good length for you and would layer well under a cardigan or jacket.<br /> The pink top is pretty casual but seems like good park choice and it is a nice color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51273 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 04:10:47 +0000 shana 51273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both tops look really great with skirts! I think the pink one in particular is really pretty and not what I really think of when people are talking about a T shirt. Sometimes, I think it's all just semantics anyway. I've seen plenty of traditional looking t shirts (banded crew neck etc) in some gorgeous, luxurious knit fabrics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51264 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 03:45:03 +0000 anne 51264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I didn't mean that I prefer tees to knit tops - just that I have hardly any. And I haven't done very well finding them, and so end up wearing tees occasionally. </p> <p>In fact I have worn, to positive comments, tops in T shirt material quite a few times on YLF.</p> <p>I think I wore the first outfit to coffee outside at the beach (ie on a park bench table). I thought that might be casual enough to be ok.</p> <p>I actually thought the second top looked good once I saw the picture too, - funny how it can change your perception. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51260 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 03:32:52 +0000 Maya 51260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Tanya on all counts. A tee is a knit--just a poor quality one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51257 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 03:27:35 +0000 Tanya 51257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like the second top with the skirt.</p> <p>I don't quite get why you would prefer tees to knitted tops with skirts. You can get some fairly simple knitted tops that are similar to tees, just better in fabrication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-tops#post-51252 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 03:19:10 +0000 anne 51252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. the perennial problem rises its head</p> <p>I feel I have done well with tops to go with clams or pants, not so well with skirts</p> <p>I made a resolutions not to BUY any more t shirts. But frankly I quite like the look of them with skirts. Here I am in an old one<br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....oz/001.jpg</a></p> <p>This is an old knit top I have never much liked, but when I was sorting through my clothes with a friend kept because she though it was nice. What do you think?</p> <p><a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/038.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....oz/038.jpg</a></p> <p>password in ylfstuff though you may not need it </p>
