Angie, woo hoo, a killer rating! Thank you! I have a feeling I am going to be wearing this shirt a lot, I feel good in it. Yep the shirt is INC from Macys. The have a sea of ruched sleeves right now! I'm glad you're starting to see some weight loss... I can't see it yet!

Come on!!! Showing *me* a button down that fits perfectly with a ruched sleeve? You had the K-work coming, Marianna :0). Love the animal flats with the pinstripe. And look at you sporting coral, one of the biggest colours of the season. Hip and fab you are. And looking slimmer for sure. I can see your weight loss! (Is that shirt from, Macys?) Good for you MPJ and Isabel! It just goes to show that you have to keep an open fashion mind at all times.

Isabel and Mamapicklejuice - Angie knows what she's talking about! I love the ruched sleeves on this button-down... I feel like it gives a plain button down a younger, more stylish feel. I'm glad you agree! MNsara on "My first button-down (with ruched sleeves!) - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-button-down-with-ruched-sleeves-keep-or-return#post-119780 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:31:42 +0000 MNsara 119780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great button-up!! I love the feminine sleeves on it! (I too am not typically a ruched fan) I think it's a keeper for sure.

But I really love this blouse on you - it looks wonderful. (Oh, and the animal print ballet flats - yum!) Isabel on "My first button-down (with ruched sleeves!) - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-button-down-with-ruched-sleeves-keep-or-return#post-119775 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:13:17 +0000 Isabel 119775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, you have accomplished what I thought was impossible. I have never seen someone in a ruched sleeve that I liked, until tonight ! When I saw the title of your thread, I thought, oh no - this will be my first not-so-positive post. Girl, you soooo proved me wrong ! This is pretty darn close to a 10 ( I must not be feeling well or something......) : ) KEEP ! taylor on "My first button-down (with ruched sleeves!) - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-button-down-with-ruched-sleeves-keep-or-return#post-119773 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:06:45 +0000 taylor 119773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Adorable...love the necklace with it too:) Queen Mum on "My first button-down (with ruched sleeves!) - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-button-down-with-ruched-sleeves-keep-or-return#post-119771 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:04:11 +0000 Queen Mum 119771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ ooh, I like it marianna on "My first button-down (with ruched sleeves!) - keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-button-down-with-ruched-sleeves-keep-or-return#post-119769 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:00:16 +0000 marianna 119769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, a slight shopping-ban slip-up... I'm jumping on the button-down bandwagon. I've never worn one, but this one spoke to me.
