Often, one or more of my many 10-25 years older male colleagues would make a comment like: 'Looks just like the shirts I wore as a little boy.' My reply was usually: "But you didn't style it like this, did you?" And they would agree. Some added that they had never seen a boy's shirt styled so glamorously. (I usually wore it with a black straight skirt, black thin hosiery, feminine shoes and often a velvet blazer in a different colour and/or white pearls.) So it's all in the styling, you know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-aka-mike-hecks-shirt---funny-story-to-me-at-least#post-1809833 Sat, 20 May 2017 03:27:09 +0000 Debora 1809833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for making me chuckle! Love The Middle, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-aka-mike-hecks-shirt---funny-story-to-me-at-least#post-1809656 Fri, 19 May 2017 16:57:06 +0000 JuniperGreen 1809656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! &nbsp;One of those "once you see it" moments :D</p> <p>The brand is new to me, so I checked out the website and was immediately drawn to the sleeveless versions - but yeah the sizing must run really big for a looser fit. They mention the model is wearing an XS and it's quite loose on her. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-aka-mike-hecks-shirt---funny-story-to-me-at-least#post-1809630 Fri, 19 May 2017 15:34:53 +0000 Jeanie 1809630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad. &nbsp;I looks really cute. &nbsp;Please post a pic if you get the right size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-aka-mike-hecks-shirt---funny-story-to-me-at-least#post-1809604 Fri, 19 May 2017 14:19:48 +0000 texstyle 1809604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou - no, don't give it up, I still actually liked the color combo, it was more of a funny coincidence that the very day the shirt arrived I saw a similar pattern on M. Heck. The F&amp;E really does have some great feminine features if it would have been the right size and not have the strong smell. I'm going to ask them about the dye they use.</p> <p>Angie - I guess I can't help my tomboy tendencies. But yes, some Axl intervention might be warranted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-aka-mike-hecks-shirt---funny-story-to-me-at-least#post-1809602 Fri, 19 May 2017 14:09:19 +0000 Angie 1809602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a little boys shirt, doesn't it. Thanks for the review. Mike Heck needs a little Axl fashion intervention.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-aka-mike-hecks-shirt---funny-story-to-me-at-least#post-1809533 Fri, 19 May 2017 10:29:28 +0000 Momo 1809533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Mike Heck but not as a fashion icon ;-)<br /> That is so funny, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-aka-mike-hecks-shirt---funny-story-to-me-at-least#post-1809521 Fri, 19 May 2017 06:09:22 +0000 rachylou 1809521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wait.

This was the Billy fit. I think it was at least a full size too big and sort of low cut - I'm sure a size smaller would be a much better fit but now with the high $$$ and the smell, I don't really think I'm trying again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-aka-mike-hecks-shirt---funny-story-to-me-at-least#post-1809166 Wed, 17 May 2017 14:57:34 +0000 Anonymous 1809166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! I'm sure you didn't look like him! But yah, not a great association.</p> <p>I had high hopes for this brand and was eyeing some of their more fitted styles, in white or pale blue. Is this particular item the 'Eileen' fit?</p> <p>Was it a chemical smell or a mildew or sitting-around-too-long or something? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-aka-mike-hecks-shirt---funny-story-to-me-at-least#post-1809165 Wed, 17 May 2017 14:52:10 +0000 LaPed 1809165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review, and the laugh! I'm a sucker for a red/blue plaid, too, but I can see how that might put you off. ;)</p> <p>I find when I buy things at the upper end of my budget I am much more critical of little things like smell -- although that is trickling down into my attitude at lower pricepoints as well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-shirt-aka-mike-hecks-shirt---funny-story-to-me-at-least#post-1809161 Wed, 17 May 2017 14:40:34 +0000 texstyle 1809161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I got my order from F&amp;E and had to laugh at myself. First, the shirt was just too big. The sizing chart must be a little off. The smell of the items in the box was so off-putting, I didn't really even want to try them on. But I did. And they were too big, shapeless, not worthy of more time, so back in the box they went.</p> <p>And then I happened to watch a taped episode of "The Middle" - and all I could do was laugh. See the images yourself. Much too similar for me to consider ordering the smaller size I'm afraid. Maybe a plain white linen short sleeve would be best. </p>
