I'm especially fond of the blue. For the sleeves, I usually push the sweater/blouse sleeves up first and then put on the jacket and pull those sleeves over the top (so it uses the bunchiness from the lower layers to hold the sleeve up). And if they slip out, I just push the whole thing back up,but I rather like my sleeves messy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws---copying-angie---woven-shirt-under-knit-top#post-757335 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:42:29 +0000 Laura B. 757335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you nailed it too!

You've inspired me to try layering under some of my long-sleeve tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws---copying-angie---woven-shirt-under-knit-top#post-757231 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:14:49 +0000 Kirti 757231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pattern mixing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws---copying-angie---woven-shirt-under-knit-top#post-757222 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:06:51 +0000 shedev 757222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue, love how you show the cuffs of both tops beyond the blazer sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws---copying-angie---woven-shirt-under-knit-top#post-757190 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:32:23 +0000 Angie 757190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look casually fab! I particularly like the blue too :)</p> <p>Nice pattern mixing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws---copying-angie---woven-shirt-under-knit-top#post-757154 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:03:10 +0000 Jenava 757154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pattern mixing! My fav is the blue-stripe version. If you allow the shirt hem to show I'd give it a few more inches so it looks intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws---copying-angie---woven-shirt-under-knit-top#post-757129 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:41:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 757129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These both work beautifully Makrame! I especially like the second outfit - that cobalt colour is fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws---copying-angie---woven-shirt-under-knit-top#post-757115 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:33:08 +0000 kellygirl 757115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great, Makrame. What a great way to mix things up. I tried this but found my tees just weren't substantial enough. I am back to the drawing board but you look like you've got it figured out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws---copying-angie---woven-shirt-under-knit-top#post-757059 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:10:15 +0000 Makrame 757059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Details: Pleione sheer blouse, Paige Hidden Hills bootcuts, Talbots black sweater/Esprit blue t-shirt, Frenchi schoolboy navy blazer, GAP tweed jacket, Zodiac Italia booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws---copying-angie---woven-shirt-under-knit-top#post-757058 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:09:50 +0000 Kat 757058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your pattern mix and think the colors look fantastic together (esp seen in pic 3). Hurray for persistence in finding a way to make it work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-wiws---copying-angie---woven-shirt-under-knit-top#post-757055 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:06:30 +0000 Makrame 757055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always liked Angie's ideas for layering woven shirts under knit tops - like this <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/12/15/casual-jeans-and-t-shirt-but-still-buttoned-up/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/12/.....ttoned-up/</a> . However, I usually cannot layer buttondowns under knits because they bunch up. I have also been wearing fewer thin knit tops because of all the bulges they highlight, especially when worn over jeans (even the jean waistband looks like an unsightly bulge). </p> <p>Now that I have some thin polyester shirts, I decided to try layering again.</p> <p>The collar of the blouse is actually more visible in real life, just looks blurred in the photos 2-3. This is a softer variation on Angie's crisp look. I found out that a thin woven shirt worn untucked actually helps smooth out the bulges.</p> <p>It also turns out that this combination is perfect layering weight for my slightly chilly office. Wool sweaters are usually too warm and blouses too lightweight but a thin blouse with a thin cotton top is quite comfortable, and I can even wear a blazer over.</p> <p>Suggestions and opinions welcome! BTW, if there are any tricks to keep longer sleeves scrunched under 3/4 sleeved jacket, please let me know! The sleeves in #2 kept creeping out and I had to re-scrunch them. </p>
