Does it move with you or stay in its shape, like a suit of armor? Will you layer under it to stay warm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt/page/2#post-1363415 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 15:10:56 +0000 Missey 1363415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first reaction was that I LOVE IT!&nbsp; Do you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt/page/2#post-1363414 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 15:08:34 +0000 ironkurtin 1363414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363411 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 15:02:37 +0000 Dana 1363411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's great, very you! I like it better w the skirt. It would be cute w a denim shirt under it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363407 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:58:29 +0000 Diana 1363407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks really cool on you! I particularly like it with the skirt.</p> <p>Does it make noise though? It looks like it might be ... Crunchy sounding. Or make that whooshing sound that windbreakers sometimes make. Which would drive me nuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363361 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:18:13 +0000 viva 1363361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's funny how so many people see this as futuristic and to me it feels so retro (primarily because of the shape). How does it seem to you, Una? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363342 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:01:59 +0000 Susie 1363342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read the other responses and just giving you my very first reaction which was 'wow, so cool, love that!' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363328 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 13:51:11 +0000 texstyle 1363328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This seems like one of those risky purchases - fun, but is it something you would wear very often? It would be so memorable and for me that's&nbsp; usually a deal breaker. Unless it's very low cost. Then I can justify the CPW more. On you I feel like the silver is nice but I'm not sure about the sleeves or the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363326 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 13:44:17 +0000 Mo 1363326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you. &nbsp;I know it's supposed to be more cropped, but this length totally works as a more subtle crop top look.&nbsp;<br />Off to see what others think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363311 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 13:22:58 +0000 Mona 1363311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you. The only thing bothering me with this is the wide sleeves but other than that, everything else is perfect. I am very biased towards everything shiny and sparkly and have worn my golden top to death.<br />One thing about these shiny clothes is they look a lot subdued after washing. May be this is dry clean only? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363293 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:47:27 +0000 Janet 1363293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm skipping over the other comments so you get my unfiltered response, uncolored by others' opinions! </p> <p>I like it! It's shiny, but metallics often photograph brighter than they appear in person. Besides, I'm the woman with silver holographic shoes. Which I might need to wear today. </p> <p>I could see it layered over a longer white shirt with your pajama jeans or other BFs. But I love the styling with the skirt especially. Is it hard to wear a coat over it? Sometimes sleeves like that are really difficult under coats. How does it feel? I think it looks really cool on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363291 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:39:05 +0000 Anonymous 1363291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the fence too - but tilting slightly toward falling off into "no" land. &nbsp;I liked it in your first post - but admit to feeling "not so much" seeing it now . &nbsp;A bit too shiny and futuristic looking. &nbsp;That said, in the two photos, I like it much better in your second version - working a dressier look with it is kind of interesting. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363289 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:30:47 +0000 donnat 1363289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. It looks really good on you. That being said, will you actually wear it?<br /> You will likey get comments about tin foil, and space suits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363266 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 11:14:52 +0000 viva 1363266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it more than I did before, but it looks like IRL it might be more boxy/stiff, a bit retro, which I am not sure is really your look? Still, I am kind of loving how it looks in pic 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363256 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 10:49:02 +0000 gryffin 1363256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on! Plus I think it can skew casual to very dressy. I think it's a great piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363251 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 10:23:36 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1363251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does look like it is pretty high sheen but that is often the flash. &nbsp;Do you like the length? &nbsp;It is shorter than a lot of your favorites. &nbsp;I think it looks good on you so if the length and fabrication are good for you, and it fits in with your other pieces.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363246 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 10:11:48 +0000 Neel 1363246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you. I think it would look lovely with white bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363240 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 09:14:55 +0000 bella 1363240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw this on your pinterest board styled over a chambray shirt and it looks amazing. Is that something that would appeal to you?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363239 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 09:12:29 +0000 unfrumped 1363239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good on you but I'm not sure I would keep it, if that makes sense. I don't think it's versatile enough to work into your wardrobe the way another edgy or unusual piece might. Even for fun casual. So I'd save room for something else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363237 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:55:45 +0000 Lucy 1363237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I was a bit unsure in the previous post, but seeing it on, I think you look great. A bit of fun, sometimes it's good to lighten up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363227 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:04:15 +0000 Jeanie 1363227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry...I don't love it. &nbsp;Probably just because it reminds me of the material I used to make my son's space alien costume when he was 5. &nbsp;I think it's just too shiny to look luxe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363222 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 07:34:31 +0000 Astrid 1363222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would be too shiny for me too, but I think you can pull it off if you want to. I like it better with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363219 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 07:16:44 +0000 fern 1363219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nay from the photos - it reminds me of tinfoil. But is it better in person? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363217 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 07:13:29 +0000 Sheila 1363217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh it looks like so much fun! And space-y and fashion-y and techie, all in a good way. I could see this dressed up or down. Either way it makes a statement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363216 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 07:08:54 +0000 tulle 1363216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm glad you got that top.&nbsp; It reminds me of a silver mini my mother sewed for me in the late '60s--one of the coolest dresses I've ever owned. Looks terrific on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363201 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 05:52:02 +0000 Ornella 1363201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A bit too shiny for me, maybe the flash makes it look like that? Other than that, I like it and&nbsp;I think you can definitely pull it off if you keep it.</p> <p>p.s.<br />No luck with the&nbsp;blue&nbsp;shirt in my store - I did not find it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-i-caved-on-the-silver-shirt#post-1363175 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 04:44:55 +0000 rabbit 1363175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pretty much love how it looks on you. &nbsp; But does it feel too stiff, or do you feel like a baked potato? &nbsp;:D </p>
