Dressing it up, in my opinion, is how you can draw the line between funky/hip and goofy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292602 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 15:41:10 +0000 Bianca 292602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shape of the first one. And I couldn't even tell what those items were until I really zoned in on them. Nice colors. If this suits your personality, I say go for it! What fun! It's hard to get a feel for the second one....maybe If I saw it with something else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292589 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 14:54:43 +0000 Mellllls 292589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might work....but I think it would have to be layered under a jacket or a vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292586 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 14:52:19 +0000 Mo 292586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LyreBird, I did measure and it will *just* hit my hipbone at 21". That is as short as I think I can go, so it just squeaks by. You are smart to start thinking ahead about how to work it into a wardrobe and outfits ahead of time. I have lots of these colors already so it will be in instant integration, I think. I can picture my black cargo skirt with subtle sheen to it, with black leggings and booties right off the bat. Also I think my flowy racerback vest can visually lengthen this to pair up with pants. If not, I have camis I could layer under to lengthen it as well. Thanks for getting me thinking past the 'I want it' stage </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292555 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 10:48:33 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 292555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very soft spot for anything with an art print on it - and I think that this will look great on your figure!<br /> It's exciting just imagining the styling options for a piece with such personality -- what clothes have you got in this colour pathway already? (Note also that the length seems quite short- have you got pants/shorts in a high enough rise- or would you wear a skirt?) I'd suggest be prepared to have to source shoes, bottoms and jacket just for this top alone, because this top will demand star billing, and needs some kindred gear so it doesn't look like a random throw-on. I wouldn't be put off by this fact; a garment you love is worth waiting to wear till next season while you amass a cool outfit at the right price! if the colour scheme in this top is part of your personal colour suite, any coordinating items you purchase are going to get used in other outfits, so they would still be value for money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292515 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 05:41:44 +0000 MsMary 292515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I'd totally wear it alone or layered! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292344 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 22:57:49 +0000 Cilleena 292344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute and different! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292332 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 22:11:32 +0000 rae 292332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, now I'm obsessed with this coat.<br /> <a href="http://www.custo-barcelona-shop.com/dar-pech-meiji" rel="nofollow">http://www.custo-barcelona-shop.com/dar-pech-meiji</a></p> <p>Why do y'all have to know such awesome brands?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292296 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 21:32:33 +0000 Mo 292296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it is Custo Barcelona! I love the vibe of their stuff. So far it seems I'm in the clear with this one - I would likely layer but may wear it standing alone with a cargo skirt or the like . . . thanks for the input. Sometimes I'm not sure if what I think is fun and ironic just looks stupid lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292260 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 19:40:58 +0000 CocoLion 292260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like Custo to me, too. What I like about Custo is their things are kind of timeless. I like their stuff, it's Boho and fun. If you have things that will work with it, then I say keep. I love Tencel items, they drape well and really last. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292243 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 18:54:40 +0000 Deb 292243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's amusing and fun. Just be sure you're friendly with the person who's sitting across the table from you, when they go for the ketchup to cover their fries! :-O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292241 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 18:47:20 +0000 Patty 292241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's that tomato red everyone's looking for!! =+D<br /> I'm thinking that ketchup bottle would stand out in the gap of an open jacket or cardigan.<br /> I think it's pretty cool tho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292237 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 18:30:58 +0000 judy 292237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like Custo Barcelona. I've had several of their tops over the years. Their bold graphics are fun and colorful. Agree that pairing it with more tailored jackets helps balance the funk. Here's their site: <a href="http://www.custo-barcelona-shop.com/women" rel="nofollow">http://www.custo-barcelona-shop.com/women</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292235 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 18:27:04 +0000 Srujana 292235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have to see it in an outfit before I pass judgement on it. I'm sure it can look good with the right pieces, but on its own, its not something I would think to pick up. But I have faith that you can rock it...lets see a whole look, Mo!</p> <p>Rae, that first Christopher Kane dress is quite pretty... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292223 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 17:25:24 +0000 lynne 292223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its cute and would look good on its own or under a blazer or cardigan. Where is it from? I hadn't seen Christopher Kane's things before, rae. Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292221 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 17:09:32 +0000 rae 292221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it could be fun! Reminds me of last year's Christopher Kane stuff. But, y'know, less morbid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-funky-or-so-kitchsy-its-goofy#post-292216 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 16:47:38 +0000 Mo 292216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am dying for some color and print these days. Seems I purged a lot of the more fun pieces in my wardrobe and now I have workhorses but need some kick, too. What do you think? It's a cotton/tencil blend so I imagine it's softer and has more drape than your average t shirt. </p>
