I would actually wear a blazer over it. It would actually work for that patterned cami plus sheer top idea I've been thinking about too. I vote keep. This one is one of those items you need for supporting roles, they are not stars on their own but rather needed as backup dancers.</p> <p>Why did the SoCal ladies voted it out? I'm wondering if we are missing something in the photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-770402 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 18:06:19 +0000 tarzy 770402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I'm not loving it. To me, it does seem a bit summary and disconnected with the rest of the outfit. I'm not sure if I'd like it better with different jeans or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-770362 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:24:28 +0000 catgirl 770362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe I was a no vote in CA, and I'm still not loving it - you have SO many other, more fabulous pieces! </p> <p>*slinking off* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-770356 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:19:50 +0000 MsMary 770356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it as is! In fact, I super-love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-770352 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:14:58 +0000 Lisa 770352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this top styled as is. It is not your usual style, a bit more casual/relaxed but it's a fun look with those booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-770298 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 16:10:18 +0000 Suz 770298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this, especially as you have styled it. It's great with the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-770085 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 08:47:04 +0000 Deborah 770085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this top on you.. along with the way you have styled it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-770004 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 04:23:32 +0000 fashionista 770004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep and some suggestions from me to make this top work.<br /> -Wear with a belt on your waist.<br /> -Wear it with a front faux tuck/ half tuck with pants<br /> -Wear it will full tuck in skirts, trousers.<br /> -Wear with some belt and cardis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-770002 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 04:18:06 +0000 Janet 770002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'll be a spanner, as Angie says, because I really like it! It's different but still attractive, and I think the elastic removal was a great call. I like the way you styled it here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-770000 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 04:13:51 +0000 cloud9 770000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, as it's interesting and different, and it has this easy-breezy vibe. It look a bit summary though, seems a bit too light weight for boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769901 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 02:02:10 +0000 Caro in Oz 769901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I've seen of your posts it doesn't look "hip" enough for you. I think it's the combination of the style &amp; the colour - this style in a darker colour or this colour in another style may work but together they don't read like you imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769892 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:52:56 +0000 annagybe 769892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, I think it's interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769889 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:51:16 +0000 Anne Boleyn 769889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would probably try to elongate the leg line with similar-toned skinnies and boots (or flats), and maybe wear a bright colored tank under it for some excitement? I like the long pendant idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769819 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:14:12 +0000 Aida 769819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm you have many amazing pieces in your closet Marley, but I'm still not feeling this one. I was a toss at the meetup, and while it does look better without the elastic I think you could safely consign this one. The gray jeans and boots on the other hand, are brilliant </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769812 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:10:48 +0000 deb 769812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about layering a long sleave white T under it? Or even cream or light pink? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769791 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:02:18 +0000 Marley 769791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't mean to be a forum "hog" - but would like more feedback on this please! Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769704 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 23:25:36 +0000 Inge 769704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not super fond of the "panelling" but do think that you are making it work the way you are wearing in these pics, Marley. The pendant, skinnies and boots also provide a nice "tougher" contrast with the girly vibe of the top. Having said that I think I would let it go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769629 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:26:59 +0000 JR 769629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah. It's fine. But it's not Wow. Although maybe somebody else will have a styling idea that will make it click for you. Otherwise, I vote donate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769624 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:21:33 +0000 Raisin 769624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say I don't think it's a 10 on you. And if you're not lovin it, might as well wear your 10s. I know you have them, I've seen them in other WIWs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769623 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:21:28 +0000 Lyn D. 769623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like you could layer it over a variety of tops, and maybe even wear with a belt.<br /> I would keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769617 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:17:29 +0000 Mo 769617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the top is very interesting and different. I like it. But if you are struggling to find ways to wear it, life is short - out it goes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-top---does-this-work#post-769614 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:16:02 +0000 Marley 769614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took this top with me to the So CAL YLF weekend and the group was divided about half and half over whether this was a Keep or Donate. There used to be elastic in part of the bottom hem - which drove me crazy - so upon Rae's suggestion, I removed the elastic. So . . . now does it work for me? For my style? For my age? (If you think it works, I'm open to suggestions for styling it.) Otherwise, just tell me to let it go and move on!<br /> Thank you!</p> <p>Top: Free People<br /> Gray Skinnies: COH<br /> Boots: Kate Preston </p>
