I would consider keeping both for the reasons mentioned above, but if you're only keeping one I would keep the one that goes better with the other items in your closet. If they both work equally as well, my preference then falls to the darker blue. I like the way that one drapes in the side view.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised/page/2#post-1475228 Thu, 16 Apr 2015 03:13:38 +0000 Vicki 1475228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you are now in London and enjoying yourself. &nbsp;I'm voting for the brighter, darker blue, with the contrasting buttons. &nbsp;This one is such a beautiful blue on you. &nbsp;Here's a shout out to Inge who reminded me and Laurel about "grinning" and, yes, I only like grinning on the face, with a big smile. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised/page/2#post-1472859 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 19:04:38 +0000 Beth Ann 1472859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great!&nbsp; I prefer the color in #1, but the fit in #2 -- I think the feel of the shirt, and the way it pairs with your travel wardrobe should make the final decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised/page/2#post-1472799 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 16:09:52 +0000 unfrumped 1472799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer both the fit and color of the darker blue and I think the buttons add a nice touch. To me it is&nbsp;plenty summery enough. If it truly "grins" a lot more, that would bother me, as I am annoyed by that in general.<br />If you are trying to wear it with a lot of other colored jackets and pants, the lighter blue may be more neutral, so you might try it with dark jeans if you plan to do that, but with the white the darker blue is stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised/page/2#post-1472777 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 14:58:03 +0000 Laurel 1472777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhhh! &nbsp;Thank you Inge! &nbsp;Now I "get" it--- &nbsp;I had a hunch it was related to the sheerness, but I wasn't familiar with the term and the specifics. &nbsp;I'm not a fan of "grinning"---have an eyelet top that is PERFECTION, but only with a light colored bottom. &nbsp;I wanted to pair it with blue jeans, but its demure quality was totally lost once "grinning" occurred. &nbsp;Thanks again for the link to the explanation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised/page/2#post-1472684 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 10:08:18 +0000 Inge 1472684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laurel, perhaps this blog post will help:<br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/07/05/the-grinning-garment/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/07/.....g-garment/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised/page/2#post-1472624 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 04:07:01 +0000 abc 1472624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have a great trip!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised/page/2#post-1472588 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 01:46:49 +0000 Anonymous 1472588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The brighter blue gives you a "lift" that's flattering but&nbsp;they're both good. I agree with Angie, you can't go wrong either way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised/page/2#post-1472563 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 00:32:44 +0000 Laurel 1472563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm hamstrung a bit because I don't know what the term "grinning" means in this context---I like the brighter blue shirt better in terms of color and fit, but I would be a bit put off by its sheerness. &nbsp;If "grinning" means that it's not sheer in real life, but just an odd feature in the photos, then the brighter blue is my preference. What does "grinning" mean as it applies to the first photo? &nbsp;Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472560 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 00:31:08 +0000 Diana 1472560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look great and I think the fit looks very similar. So I think it comes down to which blue you prefer and which fabric. Personally I like the darker one; in addition to preferring the color, I like the more visible buttons and the fact that the button placket goes down all the way. I've never liked those half placket shirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472542 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 23:33:30 +0000 Elle 1472542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the darker one - that color looks great on you.&nbsp; Plus, if you like that fabric more, you are more likely to wear it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472286 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 16:16:04 +0000 Angie 1472286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>ENJOY LONDON.&nbsp;</b>Much love to you too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472284 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 16:11:29 +0000 Susie 1472284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the darker one, both the color and the fit.

Can't go wrong either way though, Sveta. So go with the one that is more comfortable.

Love them both now that size of the brighter one&nbsp;is also&nbsp;sorted, but I say the lighter one goes in trend with the pastels:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472153 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 12:48:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1472153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This might be the toughest comparison EVER Sveta! They both look great on you so there's no problem there. I have a slight preference for the lighter blue tunic. I find the color incredibly flattering on you and like that it almost has a lilac tinge to it. I think it would look brilliant with many different bottoms. And I prefer the slighter crisp factor to the fabric.</p> <p>But really you can't go wrong with either - does one tickle your fancy a bit more than the other? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472149 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 12:40:34 +0000 retailgirl 1472149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the lighter one, both color and fit. But both are nice! A blue shirt is universally flattering and I use them as a neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472148 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 12:28:53 +0000 Suz 1472148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What did you decide?? &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472147 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 12:28:38 +0000 abc 1472147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the lighter one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472131 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 12:04:22 +0000 Daria 1472131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta they are both gorgeous.

I like them both for the different reasons already mentioned. They both fit in a similar way, with the only main difference being a little more drape at the back on the brighter one. Can you keep both? No help am I??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472084 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 07:14:52 +0000 Deborah 1472084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both but if I have to chose I find the darker blue just beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472082 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 07:05:21 +0000 rachylou 1472082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lighter blue tunic.

I actually love them both on you, Sveta, and am now kind of hoping you can keep them both.<br />That's not much help, I know -((<br />ETA: that brighter blue really is a fantastic colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-shirt-showdown---as-promised#post-1472026 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 03:45:12 +0000 Lucy 1472026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the brighter, bolder one. I like them both, but I think the brighter one is a touch more flattering, and it is a great shade of blue.&nbsp; </p>
