It is going back today. As much as I love the pattern and liked with pink Halogen skirt, for the price, I should find a more flattering fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-514739 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:07:52 +0000 Vicki 514739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the blouse and the rose colored pencil skirt you've paired with it. Still, if it's just feeling too big for you, and you can't get much smaller than PXS, then you may have to keep looking that perfect polka dot top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-513464 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:42:16 +0000 Anonymous 513464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd wear that, and I'm not all that fond of polka dots. It looks great with the pencil skirt. Yes, it's a full top, but that's the way it's supposed to fit. Now I'm giving away my age (EEK) because I used to wear tops like that. The secret is to pair a full top with a very fitted bottom... or vice versa (fitted top with full bottom). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-513065 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:08:17 +0000 Anonymous 513065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is lovely, and you've styled it very well. I'm short-waisted too, and would pass on it for that reason. Nothing like being self-conscious all day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-513057 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:02:12 +0000 Nadia 513057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, I meant *Briar-style*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-513055 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:58:12 +0000 Deborah 513055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While it does look lovely on you, it takes me back to the 80's. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing, however I know that this would end up hanging in my wardrobe alone I think it really depends on how you feel in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-513033 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:46:01 +0000 modgrl 513033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the print and the idea of the top but it seems big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512967 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:00:45 +0000 Nadia 512967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I never would have guessed that was xs from the cut. For my own style I lean towards slightly more fitted clothing so *if it were me* I would probably not keep the top. But it's really a matter of personal preference so take my advice with a grain of Brair-style salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512965 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:56:33 +0000 Briar 512965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and Nadia--the top is a PXS and I typically wear a size PS (4/6 ). The armholes are 12" wide. It is a very voluminous cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512949 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:34:01 +0000 Nadia 512949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a polka dot fan myself but I think that the colour combo you're wearing looks awesome on you. I'd also suggest trying one size smaller to see if it isn't quite so full on the top- if that works I think this top has the potential to be awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512945 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:30:04 +0000 Angie 512945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you try a size down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512874 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:53:14 +0000 rachylou 512874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the thread title sounded so funny to me! LOL.

I could see where polka dots could seem clownish to some, but Iwith the skirt it looks really chic and classy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512788 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:56:29 +0000 JennyAnne 512788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks nice! As long as you pair it wiht something tailored on the bottom (like the beautiful skirt you chose here), I think it looks very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512785 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:52:31 +0000 taylor 512785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think layered under a jacket would be my preference.<br /> love the polka's </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512735 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:13:34 +0000 Vildy 512735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's very nice and I'm not much of a polka dot person. About the poofiness, why not wear it around the house for a few hours and see if you forget you have it on or if you grow more distracted by it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512691 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:40:54 +0000 Janet 512691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Briar, that makes sense to me. I'm short-waisted too, so I think I'm a bit hyper aware of poofiness! I have a top that does the same thing and I always end up passing over it when I reach for something to wear (although I'm reluctant to let it go). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512690 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:40:40 +0000 RoseandJoan 512690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do see the Pierrot (french clown) connection but just take a look at these images, it is not an insult<br /> <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=french+clown&#038;hl=en&#038;qscrl=1&#038;nord=1&#038;rlz=1T4ADFA_enGB379GB379&#038;site=webhp&#038;prmd=imvns&#038;source=lnms&#038;tbm=isch&#038;ei=d5kUT9CTNMToOejz8IQD&#038;sa=X&#038;oi=mode_link&#038;ct=mode&#038;cd=2&#038;sqi=2&#038;ved=0CA8Q_AUoAQ&#038;biw=1280&#038;bih=559#hl=en&#038;qscrl=1&#038;nord=1&#038;rlz=1T4ADFA_enGB379GB379&#038;site=webhp&#038;tbm=isch&#038;sa=1&#038;q=pierrot&#038;oq=pierrot&#038;aq=f&#038;aqi=g10&#038;aql=&#038;gs_sm=s&#038;gs_upl=34355l43675l0l58028l18l18l0l0l0l4l469l3996l2.8.3.4.1l18l0&#038;bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.co.uk/search......r_gc.r_pw</a>.,cf.osb&amp;fp=2550deaa8b81180d&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=559 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512687 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:32:23 +0000 Reneeb 512687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you but I love polka-dots. I almost ordered it but the waist would not work with my body shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512686 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:32:12 +0000 Briar 512686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the polka dots and the bold print, but Janet, I think the blousiness might be because I'm short waisted. I have a few other things in the try on pile and too much poof at the waist seems to be a theme : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512680 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:23:00 +0000 Victoria 512680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is very chic and not "clownish" at all. I bet that person who said this doesn't like polka dots. I absolutely LOVED the color of the skirt you paired this with-it gives it that little something extra with that pop of color and while black would have been fine, its more expected and conservative. If you are not used to wearing bold prints, I can understand your hesitation but give it a try. Looks great on u! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512673 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:10:48 +0000 Janet 512673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would like it more if it looked a little more drapey -- it seems to pouf out a bit more than I prefer. I like the black and white spots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512668 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:04:51 +0000 Kappy 512668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you! How do you feel in it though? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clown-shirt#post-512665 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:03:35 +0000 Briar 512665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hesitant to buy this Vince Camuto top from Nordies because of the waist surrendering silouette. Trying it out at home. One online review said the top was "clownish". I'm feeling self conscious. Should it go back or should I embrace the trend? </p>
