MaryK pointed me towards LLBean and I ordered 3 of their boatneck striped shirts. I have my fingers crossed that they will be "the ones". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-540700 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:33:47 +0000 nancylee 540700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the striped scarf is an excellent substitute for the "feel" of a striped tee. But I'm sure you're perfect tee is out there somewhere! Have faith. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-540693 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:23:34 +0000 Meredith1953 540693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much ButterflyLady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-540587 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:53:57 +0000 ButterflyLady 540587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that scarf - I have been idly wondering about getting a jersey scarf, either polka dot or stripe - I now feel inspired! I feel your pain about striped tops - I am a UK 34DD, and have found it hard to find a flattering stripe top - I'm still looking!</p> <p>I like your whole outfit - very chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-540460 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:51:04 +0000 Meredith1953 540460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi MaryK<br /> I will try ordering the small. I usually DO wear a size 6 or 8 in both pants and tops so hopefully that will work. Thanks so much for the tip about the coupon.</p> <p>Shevia and Melllis,<br /> Thanks for liking the scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-540235 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:18:32 +0000 Mellllls 540235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your scarf! I'm still looking for a striped tee as well..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-540232 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:15:31 +0000 MsMary 540232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith, honestly if I'm not sure of the size I order both!</p> <p>Here are some coupon codes: <a href="http://www.retailmenot.com/view/llbean.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.retailmenot.com/view/llbean.com</a> Scroll down to see the $10 promotional gift card! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-540224 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:03:37 +0000 Jaime 540224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see you may find your boatneck yet, but the scarf is excellent and makes a great look on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-540155 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:49:29 +0000 Meredith1953 540155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Freckles,<br /> I still DO want to get a striped boatneck and I think MaryK's top looks like it might work! I am glad to have the scarf so I can still have my parisian nod to the sailor top!<br /> I wish I had your shoulders! Mine are sloping shoulders. :(</p> <p>Vicki,<br /> I have my eye on boatnecks the that are the same ones MaryK has but I am looking at the black/white and Cream/Navy. I am a little leary about the fact that I would have to pay shipping back if they don't fit properly but the shipping cost back isn't that expensive. They do look adorable on her and I hope they will look as nice on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-540093 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:06:01 +0000 Vicki 540093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a nice-looking jersey scarf, and if you still want the nautical tee, MaryK's looks adorable on her and will on you, too. Good tip added by Claire to use the scarf with a white tee in summer. Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-540019 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:35:34 +0000 Freckles 540019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this Meredith.</p> <p>Thanks for the great idea. I so adore those tops but with football shoulders have to stay away from them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539963 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:34:44 +0000 Meredith1953 539963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK,<br /> Thanks for getting back to me so quick! I am 5' 6 1/2" and weigh about 138 right now. I want to get back down to 130 or 132 which is where I feel most comfortable. I wear anywhere from a 34d to a 36d. Do you think the small is the way to go or should I go with a medium in case of weight fluctuation?</p> <p>Sarah,<br /> I tried on the 3 button but just didn't love myself in it and am trying REALLY hard not to buy something that doesn't look right on me. I DID get the polkadot denim shirt at GAP that Angie recommended and really like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539948 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:18:02 +0000 Sarah A 539948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have the gap one with the 3 buttons on the shoulder, mine is a few years old but appears to be the same one that angie linked to a few weeks ago and have been happy with it as well. has worn well thats for sure! i wore it home from the hospital after having my daughter so it is a bit big now (ive lost at least 30 pounds) but i can put a buttondown under and it still works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539918 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:35:59 +0000 MsMary 539918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the small. I'm 5'2", 122 lbs, 34D, generally wear a size S or 4 on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539916 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:26:54 +0000 Meredith1953 539916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK,<br /> Did you go with a small or medium? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539902 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:58:33 +0000 Meredith1953 539902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rhubarbgirl,<br /> I'll check that out as well as the one that MaryK recommended.<br /> MaryK<br /> You look so beatiful in that boatneck. The colors are WOW! It looks like it skims without being too clingy. Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539893 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:41:41 +0000 MsMary 539893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try the LL Bean, then! Not to huggy at all!</p> <p>ETA: Here it is on me: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-123-124-125-halogen-pencil-skirt-times-three" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....imes-three</a> (middle photo) and <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-the-oasis-of-the-seas" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....f-the-seas</a> (first photo). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539888 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:38:48 +0000 Meredith1953 539888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy,<br /> I got the scarf at Talbots on sale. It is apparently the first jersey scarf they have ever had!<br /> RWest,<br /> I hear you. Most of the tops are too tight for me as I wear a 34D and they make me look too busty. Or they are too short, or the stripes are too far apart!<br /> KellyGirl,<br /> Thanks for thinking it looks nice!<br /> ClearlyClaire,<br /> Good idea to try with a white tee for summer. It is soft material and hopefully won't be too warm! It does feel kind of nautical! Maybe a I need to find a peacoat too.<br /> MaryK,<br /> Thanks for the tip! I'll check that LLBean link. I really want a top that sort of just skims my body. I don't want those stripes hugging my curves too much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539885 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:35:31 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 539885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the scarf. The striped boatneck I lucked into last week was at the thrift store was Old Navy originally, and I also got one a few weeks ago from Gap online (it was longer, tunic length). Mary, thanks for the headsup on the LLB sale (I probably got an email from them, but those kinds of emails get filtered straight into a folder I don't look at often - on purpose!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539848 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:39:34 +0000 MsMary 539848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks great! </p> <p>BTW, I got my striped bateau top at LL Bean and they're having 15% off today and tomorrow: <a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/58620?page=french-sailors-shirt-three-quarter-sleeve-boatneck" rel="nofollow">http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop.....e-boatneck</a></p> <p>/enable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539837 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:24:22 +0000 Anonymous 539837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that get's the same vibe across! It looks great and in the summer, you can wear it with a white T....or any color T. You look fresh and nautical! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539820 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:54:20 +0000 kellygirl 539820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone. You look tres chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539814 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:45:14 +0000 RWest 539814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean about the boat neck stiped top. All the ones that I have found are either too short or too tight fitted. I did however, find a couple this weekend at Old Navy Outlet. Your scarf &amp; jacket combo looks great on you. Polished and chic!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539798 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:28:23 +0000 Anonymous 539798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it! Where did you find the scarf? I like a jersey scarf to tone down a dressy outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-striped-boatneck-so-a-scarf-instead#post-539794 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:25:13 +0000 Meredith1953 539794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been trying to find a striped boatneck that I like on me with no success so far. However, I did find this striped scarf that has that vibe I have been looking for. It is even made of jersey which reminds me of coco chanel's work with jersey. I hope you all like it!</p> <p>Happy Monday? </p>
