I like the belted looks best (esp. with the skirts), but you do them all well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15388 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:48:43 +0000 Lannie 15388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shirt with the skinny jeans (and clamdiggers of course). I like it best belted, but it does also look nice unbelted (particularly in the shot you posted previously where your hair is down). I'd love to see your top with the skinnies and some red shoes- I bet it would look fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15326 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:59:23 +0000 Dani 15326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, such a GREAT shirt. I'm short on time tonight, but just wanted to chime in and say how wonderful that purchase was for you! I don't have anything else to add to everyone else's comments and your own observations. So much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15309 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:47:01 +0000 Ana 15309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could definitely do skinnies or straight leg, Susan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15307 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:35:25 +0000 susan 15307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana and Antje you have inspired me to try some skinnies or at least some straight legs. I have been so Oprahsized that I felt I had to wear bootcuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15281 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:19:05 +0000 Ana 15281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestion rosebud! </p> <p>I didn't think out my purchases until I came to this forum, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15278 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:08:57 +0000 Rosie 15278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you could tuck it into a pair of Spanx or higher waisted undershorts (not too high!) if you want to try it tucked into a skirt. It might contain the volume a little bit and help with any bunching or material thickness. </p> <p>I really need to think out my purchases like you do! I shop how you used to, but thanks to this forum I think I am starting to plan better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15277 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:59:58 +0000 Kyle 15277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skinny jeans. Love, love, love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15276 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:59:49 +0000 Ana 15276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the responses and feedback everyone! </p> <p>I wanted to withhold my opinion until I had heard back from everyone because I didn't want anyone to be biased or feel like they needed to sensor their opinions. </p> <p>I agree with most of you that a red belt and a red bag is too much. In those ensembles, I'd really prefer a black patent bag, which I don't have yet (I am currently saving up for a fab one). I did try it with the gold bag and it looked okay, so I will use that until I can get a black bag, and then I would probably carry that.</p> <p>I think I also prefer the black belt. I feel like the shirt really is a statement on its own, so a more subdued color palette works better. I think I might try it with a black belt and red shoes instead (as soon as I get some red shoes). </p> <p>I also like it belted and unbelted equally, but if I do wear it unbelted, I prefer my hair down (as rosebud pointed out), which is why I posted that picture from earlier. I think wearing my hair down sort of balances it out better, but I happened to be wearing my hair pulled back yesterday so all the pictures have my hair pulled back because I was feeling lazy. </p> <p>Shiny, I'm currently figuring out how I could wear the top tucked in, and if there is a possibility of me layering it under a chunky cardigan when the weather cools off. It would hide the sleeve detail, but I saw an outfit online that included a cardi over it, and it actually looked okay. I'll have to play with it in the future, thanks for the tip about tucking it in, and trying an obi belt. I will keep my eye out for one that might work (I know Express has a lot right now).</p> <p>Nancy, to answer your question, I did think a lot about how I could wear the blouse and work it into my "everyday" lifestyle before I bought it. I try to do that with everything I buy before I purchase it, because in the past I would just buy something I liked, and and would end up with lots of closet orphans. This blouse especially, though, I had to hunt around for after I saw it online to see if I could find it for less, and then save up for it for a while, so I sort of took extra care in weighing my options and deciding how much use I could really get out of it. </p> <p>Susan, I am an hourglass with a strong shoulder line. We could be a similar body type. I know you posted a photo on another thread--have we gotten you sorted out on that yet? </p> <p>I like and felt comfortable in all the combinations. I would probably wear the denim combos most often, since they are the most "casual." The red pencil skirt I might wear to a more dressy event or in the evening, maybe. </p> <p>Thank you again everyone for indulging me and for all the help--I really appreciate it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15223 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:08:55 +0000 Sarah 15223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite combination is the blouse with the skinny jeans and black belt. I love your gold sandals, so I think those would look nice with the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15220 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:06:27 +0000 Antje 15220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love these outfits! My strong preference is for the belted look, both with the skirt (striking!) and the skinnies/clamdiggers. With denim (skirt or pants) I like the red belt, but agree that the additional red bag might be overkill then.<br /> That is one great golden bag!</p> <p>Susan - yes you can definitely wear skinnies. Check out some of the previous threads on skinnies; there are so many different versions and looks, and pear shaped bodies of any age should look great in a pair of not too tight skinnies with the right long top or dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15212 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:01:35 +0000 shiny 15212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all, though I agree with Angie and prefer the black belt over the red one. If I have to have a preference, I like it best with the skinnies (belted and unbelted - just a different mood), and with the red pencil skirt. </p> <p>I would like to see what would happen if you tucked the shirt into the pencil skirt!! I know that there's a lot of volume so it might not work. In the past (ahem, the 80s) what we used to do is tuck the shirt into shapewear panties; that keeps it tucked and helps smooth out any excess fabric. </p> <p>I am also wondering about an Obi-style belt.... or perhaps taking a nice silk scarf and tying it Obi-style? Something even wider, but in a softer fabric other than leather.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15191 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:56:54 +0000 susan 15191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana-you look great. Love the top belted. I'm sure this has been discussed so sorry for the repeat, but what body type are you? I am wondering if I could wear skinnies and I think we have similar bodies....although mine is much older! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15189 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:49:31 +0000 Nicole 15189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, you truly are impressive. One top, and how many different outfits? Both pants and skirts and clams! NICE!</p> <p>My favorite was w/the skinny jeans..both belted and unbelted. You have nice legs, so leaving the top unbelted works because the skinny jeans are skinny enough to show the shape of your leg.</p> <p>I prefer the black belt to the red one too. If you do get dark blue skinnies...maybe a citron or other almost neon belt would be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15182 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:59:02 +0000 Sihaya 15182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana - thank you for indulging me on the red It's hard to go wrong with this amazing shirt - you are gorgeous and so is the shirt. I have a similar reaction to others on the belts and red - only one red per ensemble and I prefer the black belt to the red for some reason. My order of preference - highest first but of course really varies based on your purpose for each wear:<br /> - red pencil skirt<br /> - shiny jean<br /> - clam diggers</p> <p>I prefer it belted but without a belt if plenty great too!<br /> The red purse feels a bit overwhelming with it. I would stick to gold or black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15179 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 06:39:47 +0000 Rosie 15179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun top to try out with different bottoms! You look great. I wasn't initially sure what I thought about the top unbelted with the skinnies in the first two shots - then I saw the pic with your hair down. Wow!! Definitely wear it down. For me, it somehow balances things out without stealing the show from the blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15177 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 06:25:39 +0000 Anonymous 15177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is amazing. You look great. I personally think it looks great unbelted with the skinnies, so don't be afraid to go unbelted.<br /> I just wanted to second Angie's comment - I prefer the top with the black belt. I like the contrast. When I went to the AF store recently, I noticed that they show the white tops with black belts often. By the way, AF's belts are AMAZING, so feminine and classy. I was drooling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15172 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 05:08:43 +0000 naf 15172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant outfits! I love this blouse on you, I actually like all the outfits you've put together with it!<br /> My absolute favorite is the red skirt, belted with gold bag - dramatic and eye catching!<br /> Second absolute favorite is paired with denim skirt and red belt, nude sandals, i would suggest a clutch (black or nude) - cool and classy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15164 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:35:28 +0000 Angie 15164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for indulging us Ana. You look sensational! The cost of this blouse is whittling down to nothing if you carry on in this way! </p> <p>The blouse is a show stopper. Let it take centre stage. For that reason I too prefer one red item for this look (even though two is the rule). I like the red belt ensembles and would pair the look with your gold bag instead. </p> <p>All combinations work. The moods are different which I think is key. My favourites in no particular order are:</p> <p>o The original voluminous ensemble with the skinnies and gold shoes<br /> o Belted with the clams<br /> o Red skirt, black belt and gold handbag</p> <p>It will be interesting to hear what others say. If you are going to belt the blouse, I like it best with a black belt. It’s a flawless combination. Well done dear girl </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15160 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:14:05 +0000 marianne 15160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so much fun to see the pictures! My favorites are clamdiggers with red bag and red pencil skirt (very dressy and absolutely stunning). In general, I prefer no more than one red item per outfit, but it's just personal preference. It still amazes me how versatile you make this blouse. All combinations are gorgeous, thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15158 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:07:39 +0000 shell 15158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i must say, the shirt is very lovely. it looks like you had fun trying on some many different outfits - i love doing that with new pieces </p> <p>red pencil skirt:<br /> i like it but dont love it. you do high-waisted skirts so well that this just doesn't seem to work as well. if it were tucked in, i think it would look better. of course, its so voluminous, tucking it in isn't really an option. it almost looks a little 80s-powersuit to me, so i guess thats why im not loving it.</p> <p>denim pencil skirt:<br /> same comments as above. seeing it head-on in this shot, i guess its just the length of the top that isn't doing it for me. i guess i just don't like the look of tunic-y tops over skirts - too much of the same shape on top and bottom, so it tends to remind me of a christmas tree. its not so bad b/c the skirt tapers in, rather than poofing out like an a-line, but that's why i don't hate the look - just not sure it's the most flattering.</p> <p>black skinnies:<br /> fabulous this is how this top is really meant to be worn. great proportions and it shows off your figure. wouldnt change a thing</p> <p>beltless:<br /> this isn't bad, but i still prefer it with the belt over it. i guess from the back it looks like you're wearing one of your husbands shirts. the belt helps shape it and, again, shows off your figure.</p> <p>clamdiggers:<br /> nice option for the warm weather - def love it belted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15156 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 03:57:20 +0000 nancy 15156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Chloe blouse is so amazing, it makes every outfit look polished. Did you envision just how many ways you could wear it and how perfect it would be when you made the purchase? I don't think I have a favorite...I love all of the pictures you posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anas-chloe-blouse-more-outfits#post-15153 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 03:35:01 +0000 Ana 15153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Everybody!</p> <p>I put some more outfits together with my Chloé (aka Chef) blouse. Any feedback/suggestions would be appreciated! You'll notice I use the same bag a lot--I'm sort of limited on footwear and handbags at the moment, but I am working on growing my collection. </p> <p>First, red pencil skirt (per people's request in the other thread). I wore my gold sandals as Naf suggested, with my gold bag:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300464-2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0464-2.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300465-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0465-1.jpg</a></p> <p>I also have a denim pencil skirt, which is a little more casual. Red belt (Antje's suggestion, and red bag--lots of red for Sihaya!):</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300470-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0470-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300471-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0471-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Black skinny jeans outfits. I don't have blue skinny jeans, but when I get some, I will probably wear them with this as well. I wore my red belt again, but of course I can mix belts up. I'd love to find a nude color belt, the same color as my shoes:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300476-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0476-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300478-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0478-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Beltless:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300483-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0483-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300486-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0486-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300427-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0427-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Clamdigger outfits:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300457-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0457-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300489-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0489-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p>
