I decided to keep all three tops shown here because I think they will be useful in combination with other things in my closet. I had a couple of other contenders that are going back.</p> <p>I am wondering whether the origami decoration is appropriate for work (for example, with dark wash denim and a black jacket) or looks a bit over the top.</p> <p>Zap, I agree, a simple boatneck would be best. I am still on the lookout for one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-black-tops-for-the-artistic-skirt#post-680666 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:17:46 +0000 Anonymous 680666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going against the grain. I think you need a black top with a very simple neckline - no cowl, ruffles or any embellisments, to make this happen. The skirt needs something basic to ground it. The neckline that works best, to my eye, is #1, minus the ruffles. If that was my skirt, I would go with a boatneck tee, that hits you past the leopard embellisments, as in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-black-tops-for-the-artistic-skirt#post-680613 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 11:35:45 +0000 Deborah 680613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 creates a perfect balance. The look with the skirt is fluid and it looks great. The other tops just don't seem to work as well to hey eye. Cool skirt:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-black-tops-for-the-artistic-skirt#post-680574 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 04:42:12 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 680574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the exact same reaction as qpswan. #4 is my favorite. I find it super flattering on you with that gorgeous skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-black-tops-for-the-artistic-skirt#post-680266 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 15:50:25 +0000 ironkurtin 680266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #4 is my vote! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-black-tops-for-the-artistic-skirt#post-680200 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 13:42:24 +0000 qpswan 680200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love number 4! There is something about the way the v neck mirrors the upside down v in the skirt that is quite fabulous. </p> <p>It also gives the outfit the illusion of being a dress which I quite like. In the final photo, where you compare all three, your waist looks teeny in the third pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-black-tops-for-the-artistic-skirt#post-680189 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 12:41:55 +0000 JennyAnne 680189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 is very nice and makes a nice proportion iwth the skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-black-tops-for-the-artistic-skirt#post-680130 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 06:27:12 +0000 jayne 680130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved 1 as the skirt needs some weight against it on top. The vneck didn't work at all to my eye...too much repeat of the v in the skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-black-tops-for-the-artistic-skirt#post-680129 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 06:23:55 +0000 CocoLion 680129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the origami top with this skirt very much! The detail of the neckline complements the detailing in the skirt. A totally plain top might be just too plain for this skirt.</p> <p>I do like the drape neck tank on you as well, it's a keeper. But I prefer the origami tank with this skirt when worn alone. Will you wear a topper with this skirt? In that case the drape neck might work well under the jacket/wrap/coat topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-black-tops-for-the-artistic-skirt#post-680119 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 05:52:41 +0000 jennifer 680119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the origami top pics #1-2 .It has a nice neckline and sleeves that flatter your arms too! The Origami detailing is very pretty and feminine/artistic.<br /> Top #2 in picture #3 has a pretty neckline ,but the sleeves seem to be less flattering to my eye. It would still be good as a layering piece . The last top -the drape neck tank is lovely on you as well.<br /> My favorites are the origami and the drapeneck tank. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-black-tops-for-the-artistic-skirt#post-680103 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 05:02:22 +0000 Makrame 680103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted yesterday about the unusual layered skirt I bought in Quebec <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yoox-black-tops-kr-or-ironcurtin-made-me-do-it" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....e-me-do-it</a> and trying to find a black top to wear with it. Cocolion suggested I try creating a stronger shoulder line by wearing a top with cap sleeves or boatneck, rather than a sleeveless tank. I found a couple of cap-sleeve tops at the Loft: <a href="http://www.loft.com/loft/product/LOFT-Apparel/LOFT-Layering-Tees-and-Tanks/Slub-Cotton-Origami-Pleated-Neck-Tee/285768?colorExplode=false&#038;skuId=11705680&#038;catid=catl000011&#038;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&#038;defaultColor=5796" rel="nofollow">http://www.loft.com/loft/produ.....Color=5796</a> and <a href="http://www.loft.com/loft/product/LOFT-Apparel/LOFT-Layering-Tees-and-Tanks/Yoke-Front-Tee/288560?colorExplode=false&#038;skuId=11740834&#038;catid=catl000011&#038;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&#038;defaultColor=8078" rel="nofollow">http://www.loft.com/loft/produ.....Color=8078</a></p> <p>What do you think? #1-2 - Loft origami detail top. #3 - Loft yoke tee. #4 - sleeveless drapy tank.</p> <p>I like the more substantial knit and the neckline of the origami top - not sure whether the appliqué detail is too much. </p>
