I think it is getting either the boxy or fluid semi- tucked look that is hard.</p> <p>Also, by the the time I got this I was tired of shopping. My shopping toleration isn't too high and I&nbsp; also was wanting to have a break from even thinking about shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1517172 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:22:44 +0000 Helen11 1517172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt.

You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1517114 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 05:18:38 +0000 Beth Ann 1517114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous silhouette, and I love the print in the skirt!&nbsp; I concur with the others that a little bra strap peeking through is just fine, and no topper is needed here!&nbsp; Lovely details in both pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1517069 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 02:26:04 +0000 Jaime 1517069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great without the scarf - although the scarf is a very pretty color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1517062 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 02:10:32 +0000 Anonymous 1517062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your outfit. You look great!<br />I don't think you need the scarf. There's enough interest with the skirt and top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1517037 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 01:01:05 +0000 Angie 1517037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new black jumper, Anne. I don't think it needs a third piece at all. Your specs add lots of fabness.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516948 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 22:15:52 +0000 Lyn D. 1516948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne,<br />I don't find it plain without the 3rd piece, as the skirt has a pattern and the knit has texture.<br />A jacket would be necessary here in the colder weather though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516865 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:26:38 +0000 Sara L. 1516865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some tops with lace shoulders and I usually just wear a regular bra with them.&nbsp; The straps don't seem to be very noticeable through the pattern of the lace.&nbsp; I think the top is really interesting by itself and you don't really need a third piece.&nbsp; The scarf looks fine for a different look but I don't think it's necessary for the outfit to work.&nbsp; A pendant necklace might look good as well and won't cover up the interesting lace portion of the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516827 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 17:57:51 +0000 tulle 1516827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing the others, I don't really see the need for a strapless bra (they are such nuisances!)&nbsp; A thin-strapped black bra should be fine.&nbsp; These are very nice pieces, though, as you point out, the top is not all that fluid.&nbsp; Could it be that, because you are slim and wear a fitted silhouette so well, you're reluctant to "surrender the waist" as current oversized and fluid tops require?&nbsp; You may need to try on some things that look very large to you on the hanger (keeping the bottom piece narrow) before you get used to this look, but you might end up loving the freedom of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516219 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:47:08 +0000 celia 1516219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the shirt with the details on the shoulders is enough of a statement. The skirt / shirt combination is really flatering on you and makes a 'complete' outfit, imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516211 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:37:52 +0000 Anonymous 1516211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great. I'm with Brooklyn wondering if a black bra with straps wouldn't work with the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516180 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 12:18:46 +0000 Alassë 1516180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great paired with that skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516118 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 09:26:59 +0000 Brooklyn 1516118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good! I like it both with and without the scarf. Do you really need to wear a strapless bra? I hate them. Could you get away with a black bra or black fitted singlet under the top to disguise it? It is hard to tell from the photo but the lace of the top does not look that open. Just a thought </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516116 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 09:22:49 +0000 lyn67 1516116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black fluid top with crochette detailed shoulders is a dream, skirt is a fave of mine, too! Is there so cold in Oz to wear the knitted, fringed and long shawl as a third piece? I would rather wear it with a lighter, drapey fabric (say silk, poly, cotton, or linen) big square/rectangle or infinity scarf &nbsp;in &nbsp;the same color. See for ex. Angie's infinity scarf wrapped around her neck in London post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516098 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 06:11:20 +0000 Deborah 1516098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could see there was a detail but not clearly:) &nbsp;I think it will show up better on my home computer screen. &nbsp;My screen at work makes everything W I D E lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516097 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 06:10:57 +0000 Maneera 1516097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a gorgeous skirt, Anne.

Love the third piece, yes :)</p> <p>Also, hair is looking really good... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-and-third-piece#post-1516087 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 05:37:31 +0000 anne 1516087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So awhile ago I asked Angie what my work wardrobe needed and she said (from memory)&nbsp;a cropped black jacket&nbsp; and a fluid pullover. I have pretty much given up on the jacket, and I didn't really find a fluid pullover but I was sick of spending time looking at shops. Back in May I gave myself a day and challenged myself to finish off my winter shopping. And I nearly did, but this black top was the closest I got to a fluid pullover and it isn't that fluid.<br />Issues<br />1. I have to wear it with a strapless bra, and it it isn't as padded as my usual bras!<br />2. It seems to decorative to wear with a necklace or scarf and yet the outfit a little plain without a third piece (the&nbsp; scarf is an attempt at one)</p> <p>Comments and suggestions welcome</p> <p>Thanks </p>
