Besides grey and cream I could see a dark purple (either bluish like eggplant or reddish like a very deep fushia) with it...not too much color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86214 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 19:06:35 +0000 shiny 86214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's the perfect length top for leggings, don't you think?</p> <p>Otherwise, do try a long cami underneath - one with lots of stretch. Or a loose filmy cami, which can often work to help the top float over bumps. Experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86157 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:54:09 +0000 shana 86157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, maybe a longer cami underneath?? I also like the idea of layering with a vest or cardi. I like yellow with white, navy, and grey. Red &#38; turquoise are also great pairings but not for the faint of heart!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86144 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:26:10 +0000 Mae 86144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving the idea of a gray vest with this! (Said vest is not in my closet, however.)</p> <p>April- no cardis except for the ones you gifted and a black one that's sort of tightly crocheted.<br /> RE: Color: Turquoise *what* with the yellow tunic? Pants? (Heehee- now that would be a fashion challenge...from no color to all color...maybe paired with the bright red shoes...:) Seriously- in the first photo I'm wearing those darker green pants (sort of blah with this i think) and in the second I'm wearing the "date pants" (snug charcoal/black with silvery pinstripes).<br /> RE: Bumps: I had a middle of the night brainstorm that those knit pants featured on the blog yesterday would work nicely (no zips, buttons, pockets). Yes, I'm having middle-of-the-night brainstorms about outfits. Is that a sign of YLF addiction?<br /> RE: Crunching up the bottom: Tried that. It accentuates the belly and looks untidy. Tidy might be one of my fashion goal words. ;)<br /> RE: The cream silk top: I'll try that...</p> <p>CR- glad to hear you got one too! Do you think the long vest paired with the long tunic would be too much *long*? Would you belt it?</p> <p>I was hoping to challenge myself today with this one, but it may need a bit more steeping time in the closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86143 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:26:05 +0000 RobinAshleySmith 86143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about wearing this over a pair of the PONTE pants that are coming back in style that Angie posted about the other day? some of those have a smooth top that would work with this... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86128 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:48:49 +0000 April 86128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More thoughts...</p> <p>One is to scrunch up the bottom a bit instead of pulling it flat, so the clothing bumps are less noticeable.</p> <p>Two is to try it with the cream raw silk top (jacket?) we found in that thrift shop. I think the cream with the soft yellow would be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86117 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:15:31 +0000 crwilson 86117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it on you! I got the same tunic in cherry. I'm thinking a longish knit vest for mine? I don't have said vest, so I don't actually know what it would look like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86116 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:13:24 +0000 rute 86116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! You can wear it alone because you have an excelent figure, but the ideia of a vest is also great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86115 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:10:18 +0000 garmenta 86115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silvery gray is fab with yellow, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86111 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:41:04 +0000 April 86111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A vest... now *that's* a good idea! I'll start looking around. </p> <p>It looks like the sash covers a lot of the bumps and clothing lines that show through on the bottom. On the top, I love the vest idea, a jacket would work, and a fitted cardigan as well. M, do you have any cardigans? </p> <p>Being that we're both new to color, I'm a little uncertain what to suggest with the yellow, besides the gray suggested above. I have the same issue with red pairings: white is too candy-cane, blue is too stars-and-stripes, green is too Christmas elf. (I can see charcoal gray becoming my go-to neutral!) </p> <p>What about turquoise with the yellow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86098 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 08:20:37 +0000 Anonymous 86098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty. It would look nice with a top layering piece, but I actually love it just the way you're wearing it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86090 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 06:08:59 +0000 RoseandJoan 86090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second CS, I think all you need is a grey vest and you are good to go. In cooler weather I would wear it with a black blazer over the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86089 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 05:38:58 +0000 chewyspaghetti 86089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really cute, but I see what you mean. Maybe a vest or a blazer on top of it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/banana-tunic-too-tight-to-be-worn-alone#post-86081 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 03:26:19 +0000 Mae 86081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think April mentioned last week that we scored a bunch of great pieces from the Tulle sale. One of these was a "banana" colored tunic. It's pretty snug, and I have no idea what to pair it with. As you'll see in the photos, it is not particularly forgiving- you can see all pants buttons, pockets, bumps, bra straps, etc. right through. I'm thinking it may work best *under* something... your thoughts?</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ckVV-1gMDRI1-5ofaTPCCg?authkey=Gv1sRgCMLilY_U7v33Vg&#038;feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh.....directlink</a></p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/EfE1ZMDvVbpJxrmij_pfzw?authkey=Gv1sRgCMLilY_U7v33Vg&#038;feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh.....directlink</a></p> <p>Thanks in advance!
