I find the black sandals a bit too dark for summer, but you know..(I would rather go for a dark cognac or so) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650791 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 05:45:40 +0000 Deborah 650791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this shirt/button down is far superior to the ones you posted yesterday. This is beautiful and crisp. </p> <p>The tunic, pleae keep, the colors are so fab and the shape is gorgeous.</p> <p>Im not good with hats, so I will refrain from expressing an opinion there.</p> <p>Sandals are good! Are these fashion sandals or for casual runnng around? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650696 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 02:02:18 +0000 nancylee 650696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks cute, Natalie, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Trina Turk tunic on you. I tried it on myself last week and it didn't look nearly as good on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650671 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 01:43:35 +0000 Angie 650671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries, Victoria! (I hope your mouth is feeling better). There are so many blue and white shirts at BR at the moment. I'm excited to see yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650571 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 23:47:26 +0000 Victoria 650571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, sorry, Angie, I thought that was the one, my mistake </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650519 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 23:00:31 +0000 Jjsloane 650519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the TT tunic on you. Definite keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650458 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 21:50:22 +0000 Angie 650458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Victoria, I don't have that shirt actually. I have yet another one :)</p> <p>Natalie, I love the wide brimmed hat in #6. Yup, try sizing up in the shirt. </p> <p>Wrt toe exposure, I prefer the coverage of long toes in sandals with straps like these that you bought. Thong sandals on the other hand are fine because they expose the entire foot. I hope that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650440 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 21:17:13 +0000 goldenpig 650440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, hmmm, I was wondering whether the belly was too snug. Should I try sizing up to an 8? Interesting that you think the toes are too exposed. I thought these were pretty covered up compared to the thong sandals I saw everywhere. Do you mean peep toe or completely covered toe is better? I have more options coming soon. Which hat do you like--black or white?</p> <p>Elisabeth, cool, I'm glad you love your shirt. Do you have a pic of what it looks like? Victoria, did you get the pink or white stripe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650431 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 21:09:14 +0000 Meredith1953 650431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the TT top! It is so fab with the white jeans! The button down is nice but does seem a tad snug. I like the second hat but the really floppy one doesn't attract me much. The shoes are cute but there is a lot of sole showing. I don't know about you but I wear a 9 1/2 and it is always a pain to get sandals that fit correctly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650427 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 21:07:14 +0000 Victoria 650427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got the same blue stripped shirt at BR as Angie few days ago and love it. I think the one you picked up looks good on you(better than ones in the previous thread). I think shoes look fine and quite comfortable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650422 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 21:02:08 +0000 Angie 650422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. It's not actually. There is a plain light blue with white striped button down at BR right now in the sale section - it's also available in pink. That's the one I was thinking of. This one is better than the ones on the previous thread Natalie, but it's a little snug around the belly area.</p> <p>I LOVE the trina for BR blouse! An 11 out of 10. So is the hat! </p> <p>The shoes look comfortable, but I personally find the toe exposure excessive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650395 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 20:47:02 +0000 Aziraphale 650395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! That BR shirt is the one I bought and gushed about last week! Except mine is the plain blue with white pinstripes, not the pink and blue striped one. But I looked at that one. So yes, I definitely vote keep. It appears to fit you well. I've worn mine three times already and I've only owned it for a week or so. I washed it and it came out great -- and the no ironing feature is a total bonus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650385 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 20:40:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 650385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will leave Angie to chime in on the button down in particular - but I have tell you I love the 70's tunic! So bright and cheery and fab with the white jeans. And you look adorable in a hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650384 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 20:40:29 +0000 Keix 650384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sandals look fine to me. I hate seeing the insole, though, so I like my toes to fit close to the rim. I especially like the big floppy hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650374 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 20:35:12 +0000 christieanne 650374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that button down is so much better than all the old ones. I say Keep. Love the tunic on you! And the hats are cute and practical. Sandals seem to fit. Good day for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-the-right-blue-striped-shirt-and-other-krs#post-650364 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 20:29:19 +0000 goldenpig 650364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In yesterday's WIW with the blue button down striped shirt (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-619-angie-inspired-soft-masculine-look-and-kt-blue-stripe-shirt" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ripe-shirt</a>) Angie recommended I go to Banana Republic to try on their blue striped button down shirt. I had to go return a dress at BR today so I found this shirt (1-3)--is this the one you were thinking of Angie? This is a size 6. What do you and everyone else think--is this a better fit than the previous old shirts I posted? I certainly feel like this is more ladylike and in keeping with my style with the pink stripes and closer fit. Is it better than the Casual Corner shirt in my post above? Is this a keep or should I keep looking? </p> <p>Also since I returned the Trina Turk dress, I browsed the TT section and found this bright yellow/pink/orange psychedelic print tunic (4-5). I sized down to a 4 because I wanted a slimmer fit. I have been looking for some casual but nice MOTG tops. What do you think of this on me? I know DH is going to complain it's too bright and hurts his eyes (he doesn't like 70's patterns) but what do you think--chic or clownish? I like it--it kind of reminds me of Shannon's recent bright swirly tunic (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cacophony-of-colour" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-of-colour</a>).</p> <p>Then I also bought a few needed summer basics--neutral sun hats and flat black sandals. (I was very proud of myself for sticking to my list of basic wardrobe holes today and not getting distracted by statement piece shopping like I usually do!). What do you think of these?<br /> 6-7. Banana Republic beige and white stripe hat<br /> 8. Big Buddha black straw hat with white ribbon from DSW<br /> 9. Bare Trap black sandals from DSW. These are size 7--I usually wear 7.5 but these seemed to fit better--are they too short? I have some more black sandals coming in the mail from Nordstrom soon so this is not the only option--will do a full comparison later.</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
