I would imagine that both sizes will work and unless you prefer the oversized fit, the XS will be perfect on you.</p> <p>This silvery lilac is such a lovely and soft colour without being too sweet - definitely something to look out for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-timely-query-for-silvery-lavender#post-2272617 Mon, 18 Jul 2022 19:38:06 +0000 Inge 2272617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too am loving this shirt for you, Sharan! I like the fit, but it can't hurt to try the size down too. All the outfits you've put together with it look beautiful, looks like this will be very versatile for you, yay!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-timely-query-for-silvery-lavender#post-2272570 Mon, 18 Jul 2022 16:20:43 +0000 Suz 2272570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this colour. It looks beautiful on you. I think you will sort the size/ price issue out by the end and it is always good to be able to compare.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-timely-query-for-silvery-lavender#post-2272548 Mon, 18 Jul 2022 13:59:58 +0000 ChristelJ 2272548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, what a great layering piece! Love it in all the photos. Lovely color, too. Also I must say I like your cuffed jeans and loafer combo. You have such flair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-timely-query-for-silvery-lavender#post-2272515 Mon, 18 Jul 2022 12:07:31 +0000 merwoman 2272515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colour on you Sharan, and it seems you may be sorted wrt sales pricing!

I thought I got the smallest size (XS), but there is a size smaller on the website. It's on sale, though, so not returnable. I do see the website says you can return for store credit. hmmm.</p> <p>eta: ordered it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-timely-query-for-silvery-lavender#post-2272464 Mon, 18 Jul 2022 03:06:24 +0000 Carla 2272464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you try a size down? &nbsp;I think the fit would still be fluid, but fit your shoulders and sleeves better. </p> <p>FWIW, I sized down in the Aritzia dress below in finds, and kind of wish I’d sized down again! &nbsp;Hard to know when ordering on line, and honestly, hard to see myself in a ‘S’. &nbsp;I may take it to a tailor/seamstress for an opinion.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-timely-query-for-silvery-lavender#post-2272458 Mon, 18 Jul 2022 02:59:51 +0000 Jaime 2272458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a very versatile keeper!

My hair has been cut like this for a while, though it does change a bit sometimes from cut to cut. This most recent couple of cuts, I went with bangs, which are a little more off-my-face today than usual. <br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-timely-query-for-silvery-lavender#post-2272397 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 22:44:55 +0000 Indigoprint 2272397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am nodding along with Kelly girl. In addition to the beautiful color, I really like the length but it is not too oversized through your shoulders.<br />It looks really good with those jeans and styled with your jackets.<br />Is your hair different? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-timely-query-for-silvery-lavender#post-2272394 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 22:41:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2272394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Kelly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-timely-query-for-silvery-lavender#post-2272392 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 22:32:20 +0000 kellygirl 2272392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love it on you!! I like the longer hem on this—oversized but not overly so. It look great peeking out<br /> From the toppers. Perfect in all iterations and I love your shopping WIW too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-timely-query-for-silvery-lavender#post-2272390 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 22:26:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2272390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-in-a-silvery-lavender-color">April's quest for silvery lavender tops</a> was timely for me. I had the color on my mind as one to keep an eye out for. Specifically I wanted it to go with a jacket I made a few years ago, which I have trouble wearing, even though it <i>should </i>go with a lot of my clothes. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I went to Aritzia to see if I could try any of the tops Inge found for April. I came home with this one. It's very oversized. This is a size down from my usual, and it is still big. But I like the look and feel of it. I think it brings a little attitude to the jacket. I also tried it with my new blazer bought at NAS (which has a thin line of purple running through the checks), and with a knit vest that I also like to pair with an oversized blouse. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>One thing I'm bummed about: I paid full price, and when I looked it up online to make the Find, I see it's on sale. If I had paid the sale price, though, I wouldn't be able to return it. So if I decide to keep it, I'll see if I can get a price adjustment (or return it to the store and order it online).</div><div><br /></div><div>photos: <br /></div><div>1) The shirt on its own. I buttoned the cuffs two ways. The sleeves are a little long, but when I button the cuffs on the second button, they sit fine, and I don't feel the sleeves look or feel too-too long. I buttoned the other cuff after turning it back, creating a faux cufflink effect, a trick I like to use sometimes.</div><div><br /></div><div>2) With the jacket that could use a companion. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>3) With my new blazer (1.State).</div><div><br /></div><div>4) With a slate gray and off-white marled knit vest (OSKA).</div><div><br /></div><div>5) What I wore shopping. Boyfriend jeans (Citizens of Humanity, Emerson); dusty teal t-shirt (Madewell); hemp knit off-white jacket (OSKA); off-white loafers (Open Edit); sage cross-body camera bag (Madewell).<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm thinking I'll probably keep it, but am open to your thoughts. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>P.S. They have the same shirt in cotton and in linen. I got the cotton one; didn't see the linen in store, but I'd prefer the cotton anyway, for year-round wear.<br /></div><div><br /></div> </p>
