If I want something sleeveless and cool for warm weather, the last thing I want is something that requires another layer for the sake of decency! </p> <p>I hope it works out for you with a cami because it is very cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-return-exchange-colour-and-opacity-questions#post-583937 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 12:00:11 +0000 Emily 583937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all - I have decided to keep the cream top (to be worn with appropriate underpinnings) and return the pink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-return-exchange-colour-and-opacity-questions#post-583853 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 05:38:34 +0000 ManidipaM 583853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a cami is worth considering unless you'd wear a cardi on top or even a shirt over it, knotted at waist nut open --- in which case you may be able to get away with a good nude bra. (See Ana's post today where she's topped off a lace blouse with a little denim sleeveless jacket too.) As to camis, I don't think they *have* to be nude --- you could emphasize the sheerness and have a little fun with a bright colour (like the pink of your second top) under there too.</p> <p>The pink doesn't look too big to me, so if you like the colour a lot and the price is good... maybe keep? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-return-exchange-colour-and-opacity-questions#post-583767 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 03:01:50 +0000 Suz 583767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First one is lovely on you with a cami. I would say worth it. The pink is pretty but maybe not special enough? Depends on your immediate needs and the price point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-return-exchange-colour-and-opacity-questions#post-583694 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 01:31:49 +0000 Jilly 583694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer about the sheer zig-zag cami, that's so frustrating. I think it would be worth it with a cami, it's a gorgeous pattern and fit. Not as sure about the pink top, it does look a little big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-return-exchange-colour-and-opacity-questions#post-583676 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 01:16:14 +0000 Beth Ann 583676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both tops -- the cream particularly. To me, it's cami worthy, particularly as you've styled it with the pencil skirt. It could easily "dress down," too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-return-exchange-colour-and-opacity-questions#post-583659 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 00:58:43 +0000 Aida 583659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pop a cream camisole underneath, it's really lovely on you! The pink could work as a breezy, casual top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-return-exchange-colour-and-opacity-questions#post-583524 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:54:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 583524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With a cami underneath, the off white top is beautiful Emily. And I love it tucked into the pencil skirt. I like the pink one untucked but not as much tucked in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-return-exchange-colour-and-opacity-questions#post-583520 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:49:12 +0000 Emily 583520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anna - Yeah, I know, and yes, you can It makes me sooo sad. I might wear a cardigan but I'm not a blazer wearer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-return-exchange-colour-and-opacity-questions#post-583516 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:46:34 +0000 Anna 583516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the off-white blouse, but it's WAY TOO SHEER without a cami or some other underlayer. Black might work, but I suspect it's also going to be very sheer. Are you planning to wear a blazer with it? I'm guessing you can see your naval in the mirror through that blouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-return-exchange-colour-and-opacity-questions#post-583499 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:27:38 +0000 Emily 583499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I ordered a bunch of banana republic tops in cocoon...</p> <p><a href="http://bananarepublic.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=70160&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=905178&#038;scid=905178043" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gapcanad.....=905178043</a><br /> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=454150002&#038;userSearchText=lace+front&#038;searchCID=25789&#038;vid=1" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....#038;vid=1</a><br /> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=70160&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=429784&#038;scid=429784033" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gapcanad.....=429784033</a></p> <p> and am pretty disappointed with how sheer they all are! I was hoping to find a pretty sleeveless top that I wouldn't have to wear a cami under. The problem is that I absolutely adore the texture, cut and back zipper detail of the zigzag lace shell. I wonder if perhaps I should exchange for taupe or black? Or wear with a nude bra or cami underneath? </p> <p>#1, #2, #3: The top with jeans, my bra (sorry), and my dog investigating my purchases<br /> #4, #5: The top with my (new, floral print) skirt</p> <p>The other question I have is regarding this hot pink pleat shoulder tank c/o old navy. The cut is high enough in the front and arm holes, but I suspect that it is too big overall and am not sure about the colour. </p> <p>#6, #7: Pink tank with jeans<br /> #8: Pink tank with skirt, pretty accurate representation of colour</p> <p>Your thoughts? </p>
