Love both iterations.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1637013 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 13:05:40 +0000 Anonymous 1637013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits but the first is my favorite. I will be watching for recommendations of white woven summer tops, although WHBM sounds like they carry the type I need. Last summer I ended up layering white tops of different lengths and it worked well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1637008 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 12:24:51 +0000 Elizabeth P 1637008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two great looks Beth Ann.&nbsp; Slight preference for the second, I think I prefer the two lengths of the hemlines, as they become very similar in length when semi-tucked.</p> <p>This is no help whatsoever, but I got a GREAT linen woven tank from BR last year.&nbsp; Obviously not available now, but keep an eye out... you never know if it's something they bring back another rendition of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636991 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 10:16:37 +0000 Jjsloane 1636991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both. The jacket works well on you and I love the fun perforated sneaks! I'm sure you upped the fashionabilityat Starbucks. Mine seems drowning in gear (not sporty luxe, just GEAR).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636988 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 10:06:47 +0000 jenanded 1636988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look cute in both ourfits xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636922 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 02:28:30 +0000 Jaime 1636922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is study chic perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636920 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 02:18:56 +0000 Beth Ann 1636920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz! &nbsp;I imagine you have a "study capsule" of your own! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636874 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 00:04:49 +0000 Suz 1636874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both versions look terrific on you! I actually love version 2, maybe because, as you know, I have been languishing in the uber-casual for 8 months and long to "dress" a bit more. Those shoes were a super find!!</p> <p>I hope your studying is going well, and good luck on the exam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636869 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 23:51:54 +0000 Beth Ann 1636869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are the Finds. &nbsp;Thanks to Greg for fixing the Collect function with Kohls website! &nbsp;I forgot that I collected the jacket when I purchased it last year -- notice how swingy the midriff is on the model. &nbsp;If think mine fits me better, but it's more generous in cut than is showing in the pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636868 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 23:46:58 +0000 Beth Ann 1636868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Angie! &nbsp;Those gigantic pearls are getting lots of Spring outings! &nbsp;They made it onto the Easter outfit, and were quite smashing! &nbsp;Thanks for the outfit idea. &nbsp;I've been wearing my dark denim jacket more, and sometimes struggle to style more "rugged" items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636852 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 23:01:47 +0000 Angie 1636852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh. #1 is particularly fabulous, Beth Ann. Nice with those gigantic pearls you have too. I echo what Janet said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636830 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 22:20:06 +0000 Brooklyn 1636830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both great. Casually chic. I have a slight preference for the first. I think a full tuck (all the way around) might be on its way back. I am seeing it a lot more in fashion editorials. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636811 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 21:33:19 +0000 Beth Ann 1636811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the Find, Sharan! &nbsp;The sleeves aren't my favorite, but i really like the neckline and the back detail. &nbsp;I think the color would be fine, too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636778 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 19:29:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1636778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great! I like the casual and professional versions--great idea. I should consciously do more of this, for work and non-work days.<br />And here's a top I just love, so much that I have it both black and now off-white. On me, it's tunic-length in back, which I really like. The pleat in back gives it such a swingy shape, and it's so comfy. Does not wrinkle, perfect for travel. (Shall I go on and on some more?) Okay, so for you, it may not be perfect--it has sleeves (but they're small! haha), and it's not white, but more off-white (though it's called "cream"--it has no yellow tone that I can detect). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636771 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 19:17:35 +0000 Beth Ann 1636771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy and A.J. &nbsp;-- when I bought these shoes &nbsp;5 years ago, I was afraid I was going crazy. &nbsp;I would have rejected them as "old lady shoes" before YLF. &nbsp;Styling is everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636769 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 19:12:35 +0000 AJ 1636769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions! The first is a great study hall outfit. Comfy, cozy, yet not undergrad sloppy. ;)</p> <p>The second version is more refined and has the right authoritative yet casually chic teacher vibe. Nicely done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636763 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 19:00:08 +0000 Beth Ann 1636763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thirkell Girl: &nbsp;I have double posted many times! &nbsp;You can't remove it, but you can hit the little "settings" wheel and edit it. &nbsp;People usual delete the text and then write: &nbsp;*double post*</p> <p>Thanks for the thumbs up -- hope to see your version!</p> <p>Anne-Marie: &nbsp;I've debated on posting about my regular use of "all tucks." &nbsp;The faux tuck requires a belt to stay in place, btw. &nbsp;You just tuck the very edge of your top in behind the buckle! &nbsp;I'm also using what I call the "soft tuck," where I tuck in all around, but then blouse the top out a bit. &nbsp;This is good for me, since I'm now carrying all my estrogen in the pillow on my waist, instead of in in my ovaries, lol! &nbsp;It softens the look, but still gives the overall proportions of a tight tuck (my DH is the expert on the military tuck in our house).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636762 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 18:58:56 +0000 rachylou 1636762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes take it all to a new level. Excellent styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636755 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 18:47:13 +0000 Anne-Marie 1636755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all. I'll bet those pine green cargos are pretty in person. Love the belt and is that a faux-tuck in #1? I need to learn how to half-tuck and faux-tuck. The pumps are a keeper and they make the outfit in #2 look incredibly classy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636754 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 18:42:31 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1636754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no idea why or how that posted twice and I don't know how to remove it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636753 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 18:41:59 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1636753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that looks great, especially the outfit with the Pixies. I never considered wearing them myself until I saw my daughter, who is tiny version of my body type (with a smaller chestage area, as she calls it) wearing Pixies a few weeks ago. I got two pairs in the sale (navy patterned and black) and am looking forward to wearing them. I don't know why it never occurred to me to pair them with my denim jacket (also from Kohls last season) but you have inspired me! </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636749 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 18:37:00 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1636749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that looks great, especially the outfit with the Pixies.

Good save! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636659 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 14:48:56 +0000 Janet 1636659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I found last week that their sizing is totally unpredictable, but it was th first time in ages I had stepped into one of their stores, and there were some nice things worth checking out. I'm on my phone and having trouble locating the shirt I thought I saw in store, but there were some other possibilities, so it may be worth a browse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636657 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 14:44:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1636657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Janet! &nbsp;I have a WHBM near me. &nbsp;I rarely shop there -- their sizing is unpredictable, and I've always felt they cut for a rectangle (no boobs allowed). &nbsp;Even if that's the case, though, I'd try any options I find there -- they do nice woven tops!</p> <p>Smittie: &nbsp;I bought the shoes because they're my version of dainty. &nbsp;I need a ladylike shoe, but one that balances my frame. &nbsp;And, while I've been tucking a lot lately, I agree that untucked is best in #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636653 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 14:39:24 +0000 Anonymous 1636653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice and casual! I will admit that I prefer the outfit with the pumps, just because I have a sweet eye for dainty footwear.&nbsp;<br />As well, I prefer the clean look of the untucked t-shirt. I think the jacket gives enough structure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636652 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 14:37:53 +0000 Janet 1636652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I particularly like #1 -- classic modern polished casual! </p> <p>A woven (not sheer) sleeveless white top for summer sounds so perfect. I will keep an eye out for you. Have you tried WHBM? I saw a layered woven tank there -- I think in white or black -- that looked like it would be substantial yet float nicely from the body. I'll see if I can find it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-study-hall#post-1636651 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 14:37:21 +0000 Gail 1636651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the denim jacket it looks a nice fit not too tight and not &nbsp;too loose.
