I don’t wear them with a bralette. I feel that look is too youthful and nightclub-ish (?) for me. I think the ads might feature a bralette to make it clear that the top is sheer and doesn’t come with a built in cami. There are lots of other ways to wear them. </p> <p>With long sleeve mesh tops, I only wear them when the weather is quite cool because synthetic tops can make me overheat. I usually wear a thin long sleeve (opaque) top underneath. A sleeveless top or cami would work too but, for me, often by the time it’s cool enough to wear a mesh top, it feels too cool for just a tank top or cami underneath.</p> <p>Because the tops are very sheer, I like the different effects you can achieve by wearing different colours underneath them. </p> <p>I also wear mine as an under layer, so that only the sleeves show. For example, under a sleeveless dress, a sleeveless knit top or a waistcoat. It creates a nice contrast in texture and adds a little warmth when seasons are changing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-high-joy-items#post-2382984 Mon, 24 Mar 2025 12:37:38 +0000 Carol 2382984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow--such great pieces! Thanks for sharing. I do have a question for you, and maybe there are others interested, too. As a lover of mesh tops, what do you wear underneath? A camisole, or a bralette? I would love to venture into bralette territory, but I find there are few environments where that would be appropriate. And yet, all the ads have a bralette underneath.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-high-joy-items#post-2382971 Mon, 24 Mar 2025 02:39:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2382971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the wardrobe love. I’m sorry for the late reply. I’ve been away.</p> <p>Bijou, you have a fantastic memory. The resin cuff is on display in the spare room in which I keep my clothes. I don’t wear it that much but it does indeed give me joy. You are right that accessories are key JPW items. </p> <p>The velvet coat is a much loved piece but is a little problematic. The seams keep tearing apart in various places. I don’t think it’s fantastic quality, alas. But I keep repairing it and hoping it makes it through another year.</p> <p>And I am pleased to accept the title of Queen Metallics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-high-joy-items#post-2382897 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 00:31:17 +0000 Cookie 2382897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are so great!

I can remember the addition of most of these items and it is fun to see your recent additions. We need a separate post on the accessories that give you JPW too - I was hoping to see your amazing resin cuff in this collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-high-joy-items#post-2382746 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 02:47:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2382746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are gorgeous, luxe pieces, Brooklyn. The reasons for wearing them less often are understandable. How wonderful that you get a thrill from wearing them when you do have the opportunity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-high-joy-items#post-2382745 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 01:04:15 +0000 Suz 2382745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the <b>queen</b> of JOY!

I’m at the airport waiting for my flight to Queenstown for the reunion. I have brought my fringed Art Deco tunic and my dark green velvet duster coat. They will be joyous to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-high-joy-items#post-2382701 Thu, 20 Mar 2025 21:49:29 +0000 Ket 2382701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh. My. Lands. I want to share a closet with you!!! Your colors, textures, and more are phenomenal and right up my alley! Thank you so much for sharing. I derived joy just from gaping at them in all their glory You must be swimming in joy when you wear one of your JPW items </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-high-joy-items#post-2382700 Thu, 20 Mar 2025 21:48:49 +0000 SarahD8 2382700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me scrolling through your list of finds at the end of the post: I can't wait to get a glimpse of that teal velvet coat of hers! Oh yessss there it is! </p> <p>(It's funny how in a lot of cases I can predict what items will be on a person's list even though they aren't worn often -- they stick in my mind, too!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-high-joy-items#post-2382699 Thu, 20 Mar 2025 21:47:41 +0000 Bonnie 2382699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a great collection of joyful items and the talent to put together the most amazing outfits with them. Dressing them down for daytime is a wonderful solution to getting more opportunities to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-high-joy-items#post-2382698 Thu, 20 Mar 2025 21:31:28 +0000 Brooklyn 2382698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have quite a few items in my wardrobe that give me high joy, but are less worn than other items. Items that I don’t treat as everyday wear. This may be because they feel a little too glamorous or over the top for everyday wear. Or it could be because they are too delicate. Metallic knits and mesh skirts do not like doggy paws. I also have some sheer synthetic items that I love but can only wear when the weather is cool but not cold. And some sleeveless or short sleeve knits that I also love but require just the right weather (usually late autumn, early winter or early spring). And some summer tops that are too sun exposed for everyday wear but perfect for indoor wear or summer evenings.</p> <p>I feel like these items give my wardrobe character and interest. They certainly give me great joy. And, as I said on Angie’s post, they make the occasions on which I wear them a more special experience.</p> <p>The items I think of in particular are my metallic items, velvet, silk, some dressier tops and skirts. I wear them to lunch, dinner, coffee, movies, shopping, to visit my mum. Some I’ve had for a long time. Some are newer. I can dress them up or down but generally I dress the more glamorous items down for daytime wear - especially via footwear. I have occasionally worn them to walk my dog but generally only when that was incidental to going to meet someone.</p> <p>I find them thrilling to wear. That joy is priceless, I think </p>
