But I am trying to keep an open mind.</p> <p>Gauche - any camisole would be a problem in the Australian summer!&nbsp; It is so hot I often can't bear to wear even short sleeves, and anything with 2 layers is&nbsp; too much.&nbsp; But the top would be fine in AC.</p> <p>Deborah - I hear you. I don't know any however. I had 2 pairs of palazzo pants in the 90's and loved them, until I tripped over their hems - I haven't gone back to them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450328 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 04:12:25 +0000 Deborah 1450328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to see #1 with a wide leg pant and heels??? &nbsp;I think you could pass on #2:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450169 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 22:37:02 +0000 Thistle 1450169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I am not a fan of #1. I like #2 a bit better, but I still feel like it is a touch dated (I like my tops longer, though, as I have a long torso). </p> <p>If it were me, I would probably donate them both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450160 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 22:02:11 +0000 Anonymous 1450160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting that #2 has the kind of peplum shape you were trying on last week&nbsp;(the green top). It's longer and I agree the back-ties are dated, but they do emphasize your shape.&nbsp;Maybe shorten, or&nbsp;try it with a topper before you discard? #1 is pretty and I agree with Inge that it would suit skinny jeans. The uncomfortable synthetic lining is a big problem though ... unless you could cut it out and wear a camisole. But that's veering way into the "too many work-arounds to make them stellar" territory, as <b>Sheila</b> says. Just a few thoughts based on how these two tops look on you from afar&nbsp;... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450154 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 21:34:00 +0000 Sheila 1450154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pass, pass. Too many work-arounds to make them look stellar. Let someone else do the work... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450132 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 20:07:15 +0000 rachylou 1450132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, but they both look a little big. I think it would be easy to shorten the second one. The first - the colour is outstanding on you, even though it's pretty blousy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450127 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 19:53:13 +0000 Anonymous 1450127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even if it's your size, I think the second one would look better if it was bigger, so pass.<br />The first one looks pretty good and I like the color on you but the way you've styled it makes me think it would be a lot of effort &nbsp;and possibly expense&nbsp;to figure out how to wear it, and I'm not sure it's really your style.&nbsp;The other downside is it seems to me I just recently discovered you have a really lovely hip to waist ratio and it might be&nbsp;a shame to conceal it?<br />So pass and pass.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450126 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 19:53:10 +0000 Anonymous 1450126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first one too. However, you must ultimately feel happy in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450108 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 19:26:41 +0000 Alassë 1450108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 could be interesting if you have weather that lets you wear a short sleeve, lined top. It's a good colour on you, too.&nbsp;2 isn't quite right, as the others have said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450092 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 18:37:23 +0000 Astrid 1450092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 is worth playing around with. I think it definitely has potential! I'd pass on #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450080 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 18:12:59 +0000 chadya 1450080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't keep clothing that is not your size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1450079 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 18:08:25 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1450079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color of the first one, but it seems too big to me. Ambivalent about 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1449980 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 15:04:47 +0000 Daria 1449980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree - like the first one and the color is great on you. The second is nothing special and too long as others pointed out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1449978 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 15:04:10 +0000 carter 1449978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Inge, Suz and Rute said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1449977 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 15:03:23 +0000 anne 1449977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, though I have been a little unsure about the top as it is much more voluminous than my usual style,&nbsp;the main reason that I haven't&nbsp;worn it much&nbsp;is that it is too hot - it has an inner synthetic lining and that is just too much when the temperature are over 30 C most days (plus it is silk, so sort of a special fabric that I'd be careful about where to wear) &nbsp;But your suggestions could work really well for a casual friday outfit. Thanks!<br />I agree about the datedness of the second top - I did have 2 people today tell me while wearing it that I was much too young to have a daughter DD's age (11) which was gratifying - but that perhaps isn't enough reason to keep it!<br />The neckline is a bit higher than I'd prefer for a black top too, and as Rute said - too long</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1449975 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 15:01:31 +0000 rute 1449975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, I like the first one, the second is too long for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1449969 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 14:46:24 +0000 Suz 1449969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Inge said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1449966 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 14:35:19 +0000 Inge 1449966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one, Anne. Great colour on you, and the silhouette is versatile. I can see it work with skinny jeans/pants, bootcuts, flares etc. too. But in the end it comes down to whether or not you will start wearing it more. Is there any particular reason why you are not reaching for it?<br />The second top looks a bit dated to me, I vote pass on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kdonate#post-1449952 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 14:03:32 +0000 anne 1449952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These two tops were given (handed down)&nbsp;to me In January, and I have worn both of them once but am still unsure about them and would love to hear your thoughts.<br />They are both a size or 2 bigger than I'd usually wear, and that makes the black top, which has a back tie (outdated feature?) a little too long in the waist - a novel experience for me!!<br />What appears to be 2 white lines across the first top is a photo issue only.<br />Thanks - all comments and criticism are welcome.</p> <p> </p>
