I find great plain interesting tops often at Banana Republic. I snap up white or ivory plain tops whenever I find them there. They go with everything.  Dana on "A Coral Kind of Day" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-coral-kind-of-day#post-1911191 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 23:48:59 +0000 Dana 1911191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Janet, I like your idea of chambray (light blue looks terrible on me,) but I wore so many denim and chambray blouses in the 80's/90's, I just can't .Wish I could! Lesley, now you have me rethinking my other shoe (sandal) choice, lol! A heel of course. I've worn them with some Vince Camuto super strappy peep toe booties, but yesterday they felt a bit busy all of a sudden. jmwolf-exactly!  You read my mind.  Angie, that's a small. It seems impossible that I'd wear an XS, (in my head I'm a M,) but I am going to try it. I think Vince Camuto runs about as large as WHBM sometimes!  rachylou on "A Coral Kind of Day" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-coral-kind-of-day#post-1911099 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 18:25:58 +0000 rachylou 1911099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Diggety dog! Fabulous!

Time to sub with a more streamlined version. Change things up. Size down on the style. jmwolf on "A Coral Kind of Day" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-coral-kind-of-day#post-1910996 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 14:02:14 +0000 jmwolf 1910996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I understand your question of "Frumpy?" Dana, only because sometimes a distinctive pattern can look a bit too "done" when worn with overly matchy items. In this case, you nailed it and I think the look is perfect, not frumpy but fresh. The cool girl boots and your effortless hair style give the whole outfit a youthful and easy (not "trying too hard") vibe. Nice!  Sara L. on "A Coral Kind of Day" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-coral-kind-of-day#post-1910990 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 13:50:58 +0000 Sara L. 1910990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice!  I love those pants and I don't see how they could be frumpy.   Lesley on "A Coral Kind of Day" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-coral-kind-of-day#post-1910987 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 13:44:50 +0000 Lesley 1910987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the boots give it a nice edge to prevent it from going too Easter-eggy! Well done! Janet on "A Coral Kind of Day" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-coral-kind-of-day#post-1910983 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 13:31:31 +0000 Janet 1910983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you look great! I see no frump, as the jeans fit great and seem current. (I would have trouble with those jeans, but light and/or patterned jeans are my nemesis -- I love them on other people and never like how they look on me!) How about a chambray/denim or other pale blue top with those jeans? That's always a nice color combination if you want to try something other than white.  RobinF on "A Coral Kind of Day" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-coral-kind-of-day#post-1910982 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 13:26:48 +0000 RobinF 1910982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this, not frumpy at all!

I'm not sure why I've never tried it on?? The surplice blouse is VC, too...a few years old and maybe a little blousier than I want.  jussie on "A Coral Kind of Day" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-coral-kind-of-day#post-1910866 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 01:45:17 +0000 jussie 1910866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks lovely on you. I don’t see any of the problems you are worried about! More dressy white blouses are always handy though!

Gap has some really nice white linen tops right now -- what seems like good quality fabric in a variety of cuts/silhouettes. Angie on "A Coral Kind of Day" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-coral-kind-of-day#post-1910842 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 00:59:20 +0000 Angie 1910842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ FABULOUS, Dana. I just saw this on Instagram. Your pants are KILLER, and far from frumpy. The coral pattern is fun an Spring-y. Specs are KILLER too. These have worked well on clients: Dana on "A Coral Kind of Day" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-coral-kind-of-day#post-1910840 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 00:53:48 +0000 Dana 1910840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have spring fever! I planned this outfit last night when I only saw the high for the day. W/hen I left in the a.m. it was still 37 degrees. Yet it was boiling in the coffee shop where I had a meeting.  I need to take these jeans shopping...not feeling the top so much anymore. The proportions with these and the way they fit me are a bit tricky. Has anyone seen any cute ivory/white blouses with some style? Also, it may just be me, but I feel like these pants can veer into frumpy/trying too hard territory very easily if not styled just right.  P.s. I had plans to change into sandals later in the day, but it never happened.
