I"m waiting until my son leaves high school and this pandemic has settled before I travel again.&nbsp; I did live in the UK for a year so I know the pub culture, the cool fashion and how things must be different in Hong Kong.&nbsp; I also live in an area of Auckland with a lot of South Asian communities.&nbsp; My son's father is from India but my son has a lot of friends from Pakistan as they are all mad cricketers and share that passion.&nbsp; It was cool to get your perspective on things.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2235231 Sun, 31 Oct 2021 04:37:55 +0000 Zaeobi 2235231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Sally I'm in Hong Kong right now but was raised in the UK to Pakistani parents. 'People watching' the street style in all 3 places has been interestingly influential, to say the least! </p> <p>What's your occupation? As a teacher, I can identify with the hectic workplace - my hair'style' on the job is everything held in place with a big claw clip. Very glam, I know </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2234017 Mon, 25 Oct 2021 04:59:57 +0000 rachylou 2234017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous blouse. Agree with everyone-it’s oversized not too big! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233948 Sun, 24 Oct 2021 18:40:02 +0000 Sally 2233948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>@lisa p - good point about the necklace. I need to remember the small details which I have a habit of forgetting. When I'm working, I usually have a lanyard around my neck.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>@Zaeobi - Actually I think running around with half my pants tucked in would look quite authentic at work and people probably would just think the tuck was coming out during my busy day.&nbsp; I can't remember where you are living but interesting that it is too extremes.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233928 Sun, 24 Oct 2021 16:32:32 +0000 kellygirl 2233928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! This is a great blouse. It looks fab in all iterations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233852 Sun, 24 Oct 2021 01:24:59 +0000 Zaeobi 2233852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely understand. Hope it didn't come across like I was criticising the look - quite the opposite! I agree with SF about the 'colour blocking' feel - my loo comment was more about the 'devil may care' sort of attitude that balances out the 'prim &amp; proper' feeling the rest of the outfit could convey. I miss seeing that here, where fashion is usually either very girly/ twee or very oversized/ casual - no Inbetweeners </p> <p>In other words, it's up to you whether the 'loo' perception would phase you too much to wear this look around others. If you have a 'what of it?' feeling, then #3 shouldn't phase you. But if you're worried, then maybe the knotted or front tuck feel of #2 &amp; #4 would be better suited? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233843 Sun, 24 Oct 2021 01:09:32 +0000 Jaime 2233843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the tying and tucking options and love the color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233823 Sun, 24 Oct 2021 00:05:14 +0000 Anonymous 2233823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me ! I like it tucked or knotted , and I’d add some jewellery at your neck ( to add some visual weight and emphasis to stand up to the black ) and send you on your way I also agree with Irina that wide pants would look good with it too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233819 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 23:26:44 +0000 Anonymous 2233819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deleted </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233791 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 20:41:17 +0000 Carla 2233791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great colour! &nbsp;Works with your blacks the way gold jewellery does. &nbsp;Get this top into circulation, girlfriend! &nbsp;(#4 is my favourite for styling.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233779 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 20:04:21 +0000 Anonymous 2233779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it all the ways you have it styled.

I could make it boho if I can get a good belt. Or maybe tie it with boho pants.&nbsp;<br />@<b>Irina</b> Ok I could try with my cropped looser jeans.&nbsp; I'll try it.&nbsp;<br />@<b>Katerina</b> - yes 4 is my favourite too.&nbsp; I think it gives more definition.&nbsp;<br />@<b>Angie</b> - thanks.

I don’t think it looks too big, it is an oversized look. My favorite styling is 4, closely followed by 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233690 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 13:18:23 +0000 Irina 2233690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it tucked in but generally I prefer oversized shirts worn with wider pants or loose fit jeans. Great color, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233688 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 13:11:36 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2233688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this color on you too- prefer it tucked in. You could try it lose with a low slung belt and more boho bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233670 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 12:19:39 +0000 Anonymous 2233670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*wipes coffee off phone at Zaobi's comment* :)<br /> I like #4 most, it's how I'm wearing my oversized shirt today.

I like it every way you’ve styled it. The colour suits you very much too. A winner to my eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233660 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 11:17:53 +0000 Zaeobi 2233660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colour, &amp; #3 is my favourite fit option of the lot - it feels so quintessentially British to me. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it's just the right amount of polish (the shine on the shoes) combined with a 'no, I can't be arsed to tuck my shirt all the way back in after nipping to the loo - what of it?' sort of attitude that makes me miss home. </p> <p>Or maybe it's just the opaque black bottoms paired with sensible flat shoes. Who knows </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233658 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 11:02:34 +0000 Tanya 2233658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely color on you. I agree with Star that the shoulder fit looks right, so it is definitely designed to fit oversized. I like all the tied/semi tucked versions. Another option, do you like vests/waistcoats? A simple one worn over it open would be enough to rein in the volume and would be less warm than a jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233657 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 10:10:22 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2233657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, does this color ever light up your face! Tied is my favorite. Half-tucked usually looks to me like things are falling apart. In this case, because the tail (in front, is that what it’s called?) is longer, it has more of a color-block feel. Might be my #2 choice.</p> <p>This would be fun as a fall topper, maybe over your black dresses, but I’m trying to think of how to bring out the warm spring feeling. Maybe mix it with other yellows in a fun monochrome mix. My long maternity dress has this color, I think, with tonal matches and also magenta. I think that makes a happy summer mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233653 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 08:22:56 +0000 Sally 2233653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you star.&nbsp; Good idea about the topper giving it more shape.&nbsp; We are moving into warmer weather so I will probably wear it on its own sometimes.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233651 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 08:18:24 +0000 Star (Lise) 2233651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No not too big as it looks like the fit on your shoulders is right.&nbsp; OS shirts are so trendy.&nbsp; I definitely prefer the half tuck the most, then the front tuck then tied.&nbsp; It is a bit baggy and shapeless loose.&nbsp; Maybe with a topper it will be better loose.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-oversized-mustard-shirt#post-2233650 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 08:07:45 +0000 Sally 2233650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this shirt a couple of years ago but have hardly worn it.&nbsp; I'm not sure why.&nbsp; It was more fitting before but now it is quite oversized.&nbsp; When I saw the mustard blog and inspired by other people's posts, I decided to retry it with my slim fit pants from zara and a couple of shoe options.&nbsp; Thanks for looking.&nbsp; Personally I think it looks better tucked in this case but would be interested in what others think.&nbsp; Is it too big for me?&nbsp;<br />pic 1 untucked<br />pic 2 tied<br />pic 3 half tuck<br />pic 4 front tuck </p>
