After all, 2014-2015 is all about putting it out there and trying new things for me.</p> <p>Suzie, thanks for stopping by and welcome to the forum! Glad you are participating and that is a nice anaylsis, the pockets do seem to be a wee bit controversial, don't they?</p> <p>Laura-- glad you like the pockets. </p> <p>Meredith-- thank you for the advice and commiseration. I've never tried it, maybe I should give it a whirl. </p> <p>Gigi-- another one for no on the pockets, thanks for the explanation. </p> <p>Thimblelina-- good to see you! Good point about the folds. Not at home today, but I will have to see if they relax and how it lays afterwards. </p> <p>Ornella-- I could see how the lighting could throw the color. I don't look my best in clear white -- but as a rule I avoid creams too. Generally, I put something like that on and immediately want to take it off. I rather liked this color on me. </p> <p>Unfrumped-- another Yay on the pockets. And good point about the Tencel--- I love the fabric, silky but still warm with a nice hand. </p> <p>Jsloane, I appreciate you chiming it. I hadn't thought about the proportions coming off that way. Because I'm both broad-shouldered and chesty a lot of tops have a boxy look on me. I have to be very careful about lengths though -- I have very long arms and if the sleeves end at the same place, it only increases that affect. I think it is all in the styling. </p> <p>Angie--- I'm glad you stopped in. Very glad that it gets your approval.&nbsp; I think&nbsp; the fit and fabric just feels fab. White it is! </p> <p>Suz, I think the tencel will wash well-- my biggest complaint with cotton besides sometimes shrinking is how distorted lapels and pockets can become. I hope the tencel helps with this. I really value your opinion, and I'm glad you think it is a match. </p> <p>Ms. Maven-- another yay for the pockets-- I like the casual look for myself, plus the touch of color from the stitching and buttons. </p> <p>KL-- thanks for the conmiseration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418369 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 21:22:18 +0000 Kristin L 1418369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. I have the same fears about wearing a white top, but I think if you make sure to treat dirts and stains as soon as you can, it may not be a problem.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418314 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 19:29:52 +0000 MsMaven 1418314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. I think the pockets are fine on this more relaxed shirt. Definitely a keeper.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418259 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 16:34:42 +0000 Suz 1418259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have last year's version of the shirt in cotton -- this one is Tencel, which tends to drape really well. I love this for you, Elly. I have enjoyed the cotton one, too, but of course it does not have the same drape.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418246 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 16:04:24 +0000 Angie 1418246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was a NAS top pick last year, and I love the shirt. The fabric is quite heavenly.&nbsp;Great fit, and you are soooo pretty, Elly. Please keep the white and not the tan. (I am still as bossy as I was last year). xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418221 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 14:36:31 +0000 Jjsloane 1418221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like it could be good for you, but the folds and wrinkles distract me as well and it looks a bit short for it's boxiness. Maybe once ironed it will drape better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418217 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 14:26:18 +0000 unfrumped 1418217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually this fabric is Tencel, which gives it that great drape. I loved this shirt, for casual wear, but it was too long on me , if im thinking if the right one. I like pockets, though they keep it in the casual zone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418180 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 10:44:09 +0000 Ornella 1418180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the fence. It <u>sounds</u>&nbsp;like a great piece, it looks great. I like the contrasting stitching and buttons on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I personally look washed out in anything but clear white, my hair is dark and skin bright, and I&nbsp;would not buy this one. But -&nbsp;I find this lighting difficult for the final decision -&nbsp;if the colour is the deciding point.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418178 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 10:07:13 +0000 thimblelina 1418178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love you in cream! Pretty pretty! But those packing folds in the shirt are distracting; hang it next to the shower &amp; show us how it drapes once it relaxes. I think that the folds are wonking out the pockets... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418145 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 05:08:12 +0000 Gigi 1418145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Overall, I really like it! But I am on the fence about the pockets. I don't mind them per se, but it seems like they might be spaced a little wide. But I can't tell if that's just an optical illusion because of the folds in the shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418142 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 04:56:14 +0000 Meredith 1418142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, it's a legitimate concern. I don't think I ever ventured to wear white when I catalogued artifacts, but then I've seen people wear white in the field and look pristine. Tough call. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418136 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 04:47:54 +0000 Elly 1418136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter-- I actually tried the pink first. It was a pretty color, but pretty bright/garish on me compared to the photo. For ladies that wear a lot more coral or pink, it would be great but I didn't care for it on me. </p> <p>Meredith-- we use oxiclean. However, my bigger concern is having permanently dirty cuffs or "chest" areas where I brush up against dirty things, lifting them, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418118 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 03:55:47 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1418118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this on you a lot. I think I considered these tops when they were on sale at NAS, or something very similar anyway. I actually like the pockets; they make it a bit less formal and draw the eye up to your face. And I think the color is nice on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418098 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 03:18:05 +0000 carter 1418098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too. Do you ever wear pink? The pink one is a really great color on my monitor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418095 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 03:10:18 +0000 Meredith 1418095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these options for you. I really like that they are more relaxed than a classic button up, but not as casual as a camp shirt. Have you ever tried anything to boost whitening? I use these for our towels and they work really well. <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=412330" rel="nofollow">http://www.drugstore.com/produ.....pid=412330</a><br /> I'm sure there's a more natural option if you are more chemically conscious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418085 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 02:53:14 +0000 Suzie 1418085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! I'm new to this. Just joined. So not as experienced but... I think the button down is cute and color nice for you but the pockets detract. </p> <p>Less is more in this case. Keep looking!</p> <p>Susan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-or-r----cream-button-up#post-1418081 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 02:44:58 +0000 Elly 1418081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a chambray/ light denim button down. The fabric is lovely, and I think it will drape more after it is washed and wears-in. I usually NEVER wear cream or white, partially because I get quite dusty at work. However, I figured that dirt might come out of the denim better than a regular cotton shirt or knit tee. </p> <p>The other color I might be interested in is the tan. </p> <p>What do you ladies think? </p>
