I don't have a tunic like that, but it's something I would consider getting. I'll keep an eye out for those on my next shopping outing.<br /> I would be interested in a sheath, and I'll try to get one when/if I go back to work. Right now I don't have any occasions to wear one and I can't justify it unless it can be really dressed down. I am also never sure about the length and how it's supposed to fit in the bottom part. I tried a black dress at CM a couple of weeks ago, and it was kind of confusing. Hmm maybe I should take pictures of my next attempt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-65329 Wed, 13 May 2009 14:13:15 +0000 Angie 65329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see a sheath dress in your future my dear, Marianne. It's on your shopping list! This little vintage piece has great potential :-)</p> <p>Hmmm. Do you have a straight-ish tunic in your closet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-65255 Tue, 12 May 2009 21:56:01 +0000 marianne 65255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Bella, somehow I don't feel fab in that combo - maybe it's the length of the top and cami, or maybe it needs dressier bottoms... don't know. I'll try experiment more with the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-65208 Tue, 12 May 2009 16:39:26 +0000 bella 65208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done with the challenge Marianne. Why do you say you wouldn't wear this outfit normally?<br /> Also, like the blouse with the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-65177 Tue, 12 May 2009 15:28:47 +0000 Dani 65177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne, looks great! I like the top with the dress. I also like it with the clams. Could you wear a tank instead of a cami for more coverage and open the top with that outfit? I think it could be fun to add a cami of a different color as well. </p> <p>I agree with Inge...love the green flats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-65117 Tue, 12 May 2009 09:14:01 +0000 Inge 65117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect Marianne! It looks gorgeous with that dress. You look so elegant!<br /> (I love the green flats in outfit 1 too;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-65091 Tue, 12 May 2009 03:48:58 +0000 marianne 65091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! JG, I thought that wearing it like a jacket could be an option. Angie, when it's unbuttoned, it stays open and I don't think I like exposing that much cami surface, so I decided to try it over a dress. It would probably be better with a sheath (or pencil skirt, per Tam's suggestion), but I don't have anything suitable at the moment. Here it is:<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_6949.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_6949.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-65043 Mon, 11 May 2009 22:53:15 +0000 Angie 65043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally retro and fab! How does it look unbuttoned? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-64937 Mon, 11 May 2009 11:54:55 +0000 yublocka 64937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pairing it with a cami makes it work for you!! A pencil skirt would look good too. Those clams are just AMAZING on you though!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-64845 Sun, 10 May 2009 23:07:16 +0000 JewelryGirl 64845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute also! Could you wear it open like a cropped jacket as well maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-64843 Sun, 10 May 2009 22:51:31 +0000 LoP 64843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works nicely! I love the top from your grandmother and the clams look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/20-challenge-and-rediscovered-top#post-64837 Sun, 10 May 2009 22:03:24 +0000 marianne 64837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I would never be able to do the $20 challenge, but the other day I tried to put something together with swapped items. I discovered this top I used to wear it years ago and then held onto it for sentimental reasons. It's real 60s vintage and I got it from my grandmother brand new. Do you think I could still use it? Any ideas how?<br /> Here is my outfit version - cami, shoes from swap, Maya clams (full price cami + postal fee for the jeans). I wouldn't actually wear this combo, but I'd appreciate any input on the top. Thanks!<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_6935.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_6935.jpg</a> </p>
