Other colors that might look nice are black (very sharp) or the right shade of blue. I've seen the neon pink blouse in person, and it's very bright, but I wouldn't describe it as neon (it's not like a highlighter). It's a very bright fuschia color. I think it will look nice with your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-some-opinions-needed#post-11152 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:55:18 +0000 shell 11152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>they all look very pretty, aisha.</p> <p>the lana top im sure will look lovely in either color - they'll both compliment your skin tone fabulously. the pink one would look great with your yellow blazer. you could pair the mustard one with white pants or dark denim. you could wear some brown accessories, such as fun earrings or a bracelet.</p> <p>the striped emily blouse would also look pretty with white pants. you could do sort of a nautical theme with some chunky gold chain jewelry or maybe something red. wait - that might be too patriotic. you could try more of an orange-red, like a coral, instead. it would look fab under your navy blazer. </p> <p>that skirt/tee combo is fab. i love the scarf idea. </p> <p>the caterina top looks like it will be very flattering. well-fitting empire waist tops are perfect for you. a cami underneath will add a little pop of color to the outfit, even if it is just white. for the orange one, you could try a brown or citrus tank underneath. you could also accessorize with purple accessories, like a chunky beaded necklace. even hot pink would be an interesting choice. the blue top would like nice with yellow, emerald green, or navy accessories.</p> <p>definitely can't wait to see how you end up pairing them. (as i've mentioned in a couple other posts, my number one key doesnt work, so add exclamation points liberally throughout my post) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-some-opinions-needed#post-11057 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 20:23:16 +0000 Anonymous 11057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the clarification, Aisha. I love the look of the Caterina top and I'm glad it works for you. Can't wait to see the pictures. I love the neon pink and I think it will look great with dark denim and maybe a grey cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-some-opinions-needed#post-11046 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:14:30 +0000 aisha1984 11046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lissy</p> <p>Your right, I am fairly busty but I have tried both the Lana and the Caterina tops on, for the Caterine I had to size up to a 14 (I'm normally a 10/12) and it looks quite cute with a cami. I think Ana has posted a pic of herself with the top with a cami and I'll definetly post pics once I get my order :-)</p> <p>The Lana top, while being high necked is quite a nice fit and a good layering piece. Again, this doesn't fall properly into the rules however this particular top does look quite nice on. I've only tried it in the pewter colour though which is why I'm a bit apprehensive about the neon pink and the spiced mustard.</p> <p>I find high necked tops don't look too bad when they are used as layering pieces. I'll try to post some pics up to show what I mean </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-some-opinions-needed#post-11045 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:04:17 +0000 Anonymous 11045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are all very cute.</p> <p>I'm a little confused, maybe I'm confusing you with someone else, but I read on another post that you are fairly large in the bust area and you avoid empire cuts and high neck lines. The first top seems to have a pretty high neckline, and I'm not sure how the caterina top will accomodate a large chest (without relying on a lot of cami sticking out).<br /> I hope I'm wrong because they are all beautiful pieces. Just a few thoughts from a fellow busty girl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-some-opinions-needed#post-11041 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:34:23 +0000 aisha1984 11041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just placed an order at Jcrew this morning. Got some amazing deals (its extra 20% off the sale section right now for anyone who is interested, and there are a couple of free shipping codes going around as well)</p> <p>I bought the polka dot lana top in both the neon pink and the spiced mustard<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod93552173&#038;catId=cat90229" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....d=cat90229</a></p> <p>Has anybody seen this top in person? I really like the neon pink but was just wondering exactly how "neon" is it? I'm thinking of pairing it with white trousers and my navy j crew corrine blazer and/or the deep yellow one (on a day i'm feeling very adventurous!)</p> <p>I liked the Spiced Mustard as well but what would I pair it with?</p> <p>I also bought the striped emily blouse in navy stripe<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml;jsessionid=J1FMKVDWXPWQYCTFEEFRX1QKMUQQ0GUG?id=prod91346173&#038;catId=cat90229" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....d=cat90229</a></p> <p>How would you guys accessorize this blouse? WHat would you wear it with?</p> <p>I also bought the short sleeve cashmere tee in bright papaya<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod90589173&#038;catId=cat90229" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....d=cat90229</a></p> <p>I'm thinking of wearing this with a shirt under and / or a silk scarf tied at the neck, with the retro chambray skirt (basically the look from the jcrew website since I also bought the skirt)<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod90972181&#038;catId=cat301216" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....=cat301216</a></p> <p>And finally the polka dot caterina top in both sweet orange and rich aqua<br /> (I like to buy things in twos)</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod93610173&#038;catId=cat90229" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....d=cat90229</a></p> <p>So what do you all think? and if you have any styling suggestions, please pass them on!! </p>
