I find many patterns have a short half life in my closet, that kind of mid-scale abstract has longevity though. Cool with those cinnamon pants. Great with your vest, your new leather jacket and that long moto jacket Angie just featured. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ancient-silk-shirt-for-angie#post-2063753 Tue, 24 Sep 2019 22:07:43 +0000 Katerina 2063753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great blouse!

It had languished since I retired, but I got it into rotation this summer. I think these days looser ‘husband’ shirts are more the thing, though tailored will always have a place in corporate wear.</p> <p>The flat sets are GREAT. What a way to meet the challenge of styling the top!</p> <p>And for fun... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ancient-silk-shirt-for-angie#post-2063736 Tue, 24 Sep 2019 20:39:37 +0000 rachylou 2063736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love it on you!

LOL at the wide crops — maybe! </p> <p>It occurs to me that this would look good with those cinnamon wide leg trousers, but that’s a bit dressy for me — I feel the need to dress this down with denim. Maybe with a denim jacket and sneakers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ancient-silk-shirt-for-angie#post-2063677 Tue, 24 Sep 2019 17:03:19 +0000 Angie 2063677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you :)</p> <p>SUCH a<b> Janet</b>-Print!

Fit is great too (it accentuates your tiny waist as well). I would definitely keep it. Great with flares and bootcut trousers. I bet it could also work with higher waisted straight leg jeans, on-trend joggers etc. And it will look fab with many of your wonderful jackets too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ancient-silk-shirt-for-angie#post-2063661 Tue, 24 Sep 2019 16:51:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2063661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful blouse. It still looks great on you. I can see it with cognac accessories &amp; footwear, black or blue jeans, and a moto jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ancient-silk-shirt-for-angie#post-2063645 Tue, 24 Sep 2019 16:39:39 +0000 Suz 2063645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks gorgeous on you, Janet!!

I have great memories of wearing it over 10 years ago, but my life was different then — less casual, for one. I adore the print and I never see prints like this anymore. The fabric is so nice. And it fits and is classic in style. I moved away from this silhouette as pants rises got lower and tops got longer and looser, but now the pendulum is swinging back.</p> <p>I should figure out how to style it for my life now. What do you think? Do you have items like this? </p>
