I really like the fitted, shorter style of those shirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-274123 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 15:45:17 +0000 Queen Mum 274123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those! I say give them a try </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-274120 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 15:42:18 +0000 rute 274120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are sure that the measures are perfect for you and you love the pieces, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-274109 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 15:34:06 +0000 Tricia 274109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>According to the listings, they're 22 and 21 inches, respectively. I measured from my shoulder down and that length hits at about crotch level on me. I also measured a blouse that I had cut to wear with skirts and it was 17 inches long. So I think these might work? This seller actually does accept returns, so we'll see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-274102 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 15:26:14 +0000 Lisa 274102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #3 are cute, but are they long enough for jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-274045 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 10:09:53 +0000 rute 274045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are so short to wear with jeans!<br /> I think you could do a more "updated 40 style". Vintage must be mixed with modern pieces. I think you could find more modern blouses with a vintage touch.. sorry but those look so dated... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-274019 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 05:44:08 +0000 Anonymous 274019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second one is really cute, but the others look a bit like pajama tops. It's a really cute look for you, though ... very Doris Day and fresh and fun. The sleeves look like they could be very tight in the armpit area and they're all quite short, but if there's room a long camisole like the one in Angie's shop could be nice extending below the hemline. :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-274004 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 05:04:38 +0000 AJ 274004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oohhh, I like #2 and it seems a bit longer than the others so maybe it might be the right length for jeans/shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-274002 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 04:59:10 +0000 Debbie 274002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are definitely a great style for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-273969 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 03:53:27 +0000 Evie 273969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not crazy about #1 either, but totally in love with #2 and #3. Not dorky at all!<br /> They seem to be kind of short for jeans though, but perhaps it's because most pants I have are lower rise and I need to expand my horizons:). Although I can see these looking especially fab with walking shorts or skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-273961 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 03:44:54 +0000 wilson 273961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have such a soft spot for these type of 50's shirts and you do vintage innately well so I say go for it. I'm not too crazy personally for the 1st one (it seems too blurred between 50's and 80's for me) but the other two sweet. I've seen women wear these types of shirts with "shrunken" cardis and jeans and ballet type flats. How were you thinking of styling them?</p> <p>ADD: I love a small strand of pearls with these types of shirts; its not everyone's taste but they seem to be made for eachother in my eyes, especially with a cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-jeans-retro-style#post-273953 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 03:33:58 +0000 Tricia 273953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my post yesterday about weekend style, people suggested getting blouses that could go with my jeans but stay a little more true to my style. I ordered a 40s-style Trashy Diva blouse, but then I stumbled across an eBay seller with a huge lot of 1950s cotton blouses in my size. I could totally see wearing these in the warm weather with my walk shorts, sort of rockabilly-style, or with jeans, or with a skirt and cardigan now. What do you guys think....would something like this look really dorky or could I pull it off? There are blouses just like this going for twice the price on retro-reproduction sites like Heartbreaker Fashion and Tara Starlet. </p>
