The side view is fab. If you have a solid color tube skirt with a high waist, that might look even better (without the button placket of the jean skirt). It could work over some jumpsuits too.</p> <p>I just saw your comment from weeks ago, about a bit of sun allergy. This happens to me too, the first sunny/hot day every year. My dermatologist says possibly because of birth control pills. A little Aveeno hydrocortisone clears it right up. You are not alone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs/page/2#post-1946657 Fri, 10 Aug 2018 02:27:34 +0000 Angie 1946657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE</p> <p>Best with a higher waisted bottom for work, but SHOW that cute midriff for leisure time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs/page/2#post-1946627 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 23:52:23 +0000 bj1111 1946627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the architectural shape, the high-low hem and the curved back hem vs the straight front hem.</p> <p>i would wear with a white tank under if headed for work.&nbsp; if strictly for play, then have at it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs/page/2#post-1946623 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 23:41:19 +0000 Suz 1946623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Beautiful architectural shape and perfect with higher waisted items or a simple dress. Would it work with the new Everlane tee dress beneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs/page/2#post-1946611 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 21:45:02 +0000 Greyscale 1946611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting point, Gigi. Maybe that's why I was so unsure of it after I saw this photo. I think the effect in person is better because when I move, it's obvious that it's not tucked in, since it stands out from my body quite a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs/page/2#post-1946597 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 21:02:22 +0000 Gigi 1946597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you tried the top with a bottom that was slightly less high rise? To me, what is less flattering is that the hem of the top coincides exactly with the waistband of the skirt. It might be more interesting if you could differentiate the demarcation more (either with a higher rise or a lower rise). Right now, from the front, it almost looks as if the blouse is tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1946562 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 17:42:51 +0000 Sara L. 1946562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!&nbsp; I think it looks great on you and I really like it with the high waisted skirt.&nbsp; I totally want one now even though it would be for a fantasy lifestyle (and a fantasy body). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1946542 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 16:46:12 +0000 Greyscale 1946542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should start cropping the photos! Sorry about that. It’s the one place I can rest my phone and take photos with the timer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1946533 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 16:25:48 +0000 Janet 1946533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale, I like it very much — the proportions look deliberate and are plenty flattering enough. At least what I can see on my phone — you’re kind of small in the uncropped photos, but it’s nice to see the lovely architectural detail of your door frames too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1946529 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 16:02:12 +0000 Greyscale 1946529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A long-delayed photo: here’s the shirt with a very high waisted skirt. I do think I’ll need a tee or tank under it unless it’s over a dress... I’m not so sure it’s the best shirt for me after all? (The photo is also not the most flattering since I’m standing at a funny angle.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936972 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 22:32:39 +0000 Gigi 1936972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that this will look super fab with high rises. I'm so glad you got the top. I find that when I keep coming back to an item (like you did), it will give me a high happiness factor.</p> <p>If you ever want to cover up the midriff area, I think that a sheer black tank underneath the top would be amazing. It would technically cover up the midriff but be sheer enough to see skin through it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936962 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 22:06:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1936962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You live in a brunchy neighborhood, want to go to brunch more often, and now have a new brunch shirt—perfect! Just make sure those egg yolks aren’t runny ;)</p> <p>Seriously, it looks great on you. My first impression of it on the webpage is that it looks like the popover part of a popover shirt or dress. Maybe that can give you some idea about what, if anything, to wear under it when the weather gets cooler. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936915 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 17:27:25 +0000 Janet 1936915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the look of it on you, once you add high-rise jeans. I wore a similar style back in the 90s and liked it -- do it now while you are young and slim! :-D&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936912 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 16:55:50 +0000 Barbara Diane 1936912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the pants hit your belly button it seems you’d have only a sliver showing, right? I was imagining a hands width. </p> <p>I saw, make brunch or museum plans today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936806 Sat, 14 Jul 2018 07:00:28 +0000 Jane 1936806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! It looks fab. Thank you for posting your photo. I think the collarless look balances out the detail on the sleeve and looks very good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936625 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 20:32:44 +0000 Aida 1936625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES so fab! Glad you were able to pick it up. I like the collar, and it will also give this shirt a unique place among your others. Normally I'd opt for sleeve cuffing but I think getting them actually altered shorter to keep the overall look sharper might be better in this case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936615 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 20:21:23 +0000 Jenni NZ 1936615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing on you and just your style! Need higher waisted jeans, yes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936600 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 19:23:44 +0000 Greyscale 1936600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bought the shirt! Convenient that the mall is on my BART ride to work. </p> <p>Unfortunately I am wearing men’s jeans today that sit low on my hips, so I am adding this dressing room photo very reluctantly. Just imagine jeans going up over my navel. </p> <p>I will cuff the sleeves higher or get them tailored. I really like the sleeve shape. And usually I prefer a collar on buttoned shirts but for this shape I think the collarless look works at least as well. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936543 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 17:01:21 +0000 texstyle 1936543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't let the midriff issue stop me (I still wear a 2 piece in public well into my fifties) but I would hesitate if you don't feel like you would have anyplace to wear this top say within the week. In other words, is it for your real life or not? It looks cool, arty and crisp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936351 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 09:24:55 +0000 Anonymous 1936351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another that believes this fits your style perfectly. &nbsp;I think you should get it. &nbsp;Hope you find it in your size. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936350 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 09:21:32 +0000 Style Fan 1936350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a great shirt to wear with high waisted bottoms.&nbsp; It seems to be your style.<br />I have a cropped sweater that I wear something under.&nbsp; Because the sweater is boxy more skin would be exposed when I bend over IYKWIM.&nbsp; I would wear a cami with that shirt for that reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936349 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 09:13:58 +0000 Brooklyn 1936349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Jessikams. I think a sliver of midriff with no navel is not a problem (in the right settings of course). Showing the navel starts to move an outfit into a sportswear, resort wear or clubwear category (IMO).<br /> You love it. You should get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936325 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 06:54:19 +0000 Greyscale 1936325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SarahD8, I hadn't encountered that blog - thanks! I've been looking for inspiration. I'll check it out.</p> <p>Jessikams, now that you mention... I do think it makes a big difference that my pants are over my belly button. Not that there's anything inappropriate about belly buttons, but somehow that makes it seem more equivalent to a strappy cami or other torso skin. There's some sort of subliminal sexiness once it's below the waist.</p> <p>And I sure do burn easily on the shoulders - in fact I've been struggling with a mild sun allergy that leaves my arms bumpy like alligator skin and itchy if I'm outside too long (sunscreen or no). No fair. But it only happens once a year, the first time I'm outside for hours at a time. It happened last year for the first time and I hope it doesn't get worse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936322 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 06:20:07 +0000 Anonymous 1936322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks ideal for your style. Get it. You have flat abs, so you will not have a bunch of flesh hanging out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936279 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 04:47:12 +0000 SarahD8 1936279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale do you know the blog The Directrice? The writer is amazingly creative with layering and makes all sorts of avant-garde pieces appropriate for a DC law firm. You might find some inspiration there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936271 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 04:30:03 +0000 Jane 1936271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is super and I love your statement about feeling like a fashion editor. I think it will be perfect! I would be with Aida and Jussie and wear a fitted cami beneath. I think it has sufficient potential to give it a try.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936261 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 03:50:40 +0000 Jessikams 1936261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m also thinking about these proportions, as my pants waists move higher and higher. I find I don’t mind showing midriff as long as the pants cover the bellybutton. I have also gone off boxy cropped tops and more towards fitted crops- either cut fitted, or cut blousy but pulled in by a tie or elastic at the bottom,</p> <p>I think this could be a nice summer top. As you say, it covers the skin that is normally shown (shoulders) and shows different skin (belly). Might be especially nice for you as a redhead who might burn easily on the shoulders! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936256 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 03:37:14 +0000 Bijou 1936256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this for you and agree that it is a perfect high summer top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/midriffs#post-1936174 Fri, 13 Jul 2018 00:31:10 +0000 Greyscale 1936174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I guess I hope it's still there in the morning! Looks like someone just bought the last one in my size, online. </p>
