It's not the bare arms that feels revealing to me - it's more the combination of fairly tight pencil skirt with waist-defining top - I feel like it says: "look at my butt!" But you guys are reassuring.</p> <p>Krishni - high-waisted jeans or capris sounds perfect. Now that I think about it the main reason I've never worn this top is that I have no bottoms, and only this one skirt, that are high-waisted enough not to risk showing some belly/lower back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-wearing-an-orphan#post-616247 Thu, 10 May 2012 00:06:29 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 616247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it because you don't feel like you can wear a sweater or jacket with it? I think it's lovely but if you're not used to having bare arms that can be an adjustment.</p> <p>I love the idea of it with jeans or something more casual on the bottom for a contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-wearing-an-orphan#post-616211 Wed, 09 May 2012 23:27:09 +0000 krishnidoux 616211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you an IT or secondary IT? The detailing on the top around the collar and sleeves might contribute to the problem. It brings a lot of attention to the top and maybe this is why you feel self conscious? </p> <p>I think this top would look very good with : </p> <p>High waist palazzo pants; </p> <p>Midi flaring skirt;;</p> <p>Tulip style skirt;</p> <p>High waist flare jeans;</p> <p>High waist shorts;</p> <p>White capris.</p> <p>However, if none of the style above tickle your fancy, and if it makes you feel exposed, I vote toss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-wearing-an-orphan#post-616199 Wed, 09 May 2012 23:03:53 +0000 teeandcee 616199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pretty modest and conservative too and this doesn't look at all revealing to me either. And I agree on a different set of bottoms like jeans. I think white jeans would look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-wearing-an-orphan#post-616175 Wed, 09 May 2012 22:11:57 +0000 Victoria 616175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think its revealing at all! I am a quite conservative dresser and this passes my "modesty" test, lol. Looks quite nice on you. As others said, I think it may go better with shorts or jeans, it has "casual" feel to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-wearing-an-orphan#post-616110 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:27:06 +0000 Anonymous 616110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to figure out if maybe this top just isn't your style. Do you usually wear a button front to work? Does the top feel too feminine/romantic to you? It doesn't seem risque, but I can understand it might feel funny if you are used to sleeves and a collar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-wearing-an-orphan#post-616004 Wed, 09 May 2012 17:33:14 +0000 christieanne 616004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has such a pretty ruffle but I can see how for work it might be uncomfortable if you don't typically bare your arms. Save for weekends?<br /> The coat is such a pretty shade of raspberry - I have a coat in similar shade and I have tried to donate/ditch it many times but it is too cheery when I wear it so it lives on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-wearing-an-orphan#post-615976 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:39:19 +0000 Suz 615976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting! I was expecting a plunging neckline but instead saw this modest top! </p> <p>What feels too revealing? The arms, or the neck area? Figuring that out might be helpful for further shopping. </p> <p>I do understand how in some environments (or a less warm climate) it could feel uncomfortable. And wow, what a great coat!!! No wonder you want to wear that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-wearing-an-orphan#post-615974 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:36:22 +0000 shoppingisfun 615974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top doesn't look too revealing to me at all. To me, though, it looks like the kind of top that might look better dressing up some dark jeans. I DO love your raincoat though!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempt-at-wearing-an-orphan#post-615969 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:21:18 +0000 cinnamon fern 615969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had this top a while and never worn it. I regretted this outfit as soon as I left the house - it feels a bit too revealing - I am wearing my coat as much as possible.</p> <p>Should I toss the top? Or is there some better way to wear it? </p>
