I agree about the lack of contrast with the bottoms, but do feel you're on to something in terms of pattern for interest. Or metallics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab--orphan-top#post-1608872 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 05:00:12 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1608872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, you might try pinning it in the front a bit, to see. &nbsp; I think Aida's onto something with her idea. &nbsp; It's a beautiful color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab--orphan-top#post-1608871 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 04:51:30 +0000 anne 1608871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone.<br />I think I realised before I even read your responses that this isn't quite loose enough at the bottom for me to be comfortable wearing it as a voluminous style. There's probably only about 2 inches ease</p> <p>Aida - I wondered about shortening the front too, though I also think I'd like the back to be longer</p> <p>Angie - thanks for your clear perspective. I can still, as you point out, tuck it into my shirts. This is not the first time, however that I have bought a top to wear "out" with jeans and have not had it suit that purpose. I have lots of things already to tuck into skirts for work!&nbsp; </p> <p>At least this was a very inexpensive purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab--orphan-top#post-1608792 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 01:46:46 +0000 Angie 1608792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, it's the straight hem across your thighs that is making you feel this way. I bet that if the top had a curved hem, or high-low hemline, you'd have gravitated towards it more.</p> <p>No harm done. Tuck it into your skirts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab--orphan-top#post-1608782 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 01:37:15 +0000 marianna 1608782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to my eye. I like the top. The lace is very pretty. And I like the column of color it creates with the jeans. Doesn't look dowdy at all. I also like the shoes as they bookend your hair! Great outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab--orphan-top#post-1608779 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 01:35:26 +0000 Aida 1608779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shade of blue is really lovely on you Anne. If you like the longer back of your daughter's top, would it be possible to have a few inches taken off the front of yours? The shorter length may work better with these pants that way, too (it's a fun pairing for sure). I don't mind the longer length though. Perhaps the very waist surrendering aspect of it makes you feel dowdy? Blue denim might feel off, but black or white would work quite nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab--orphan-top#post-1608772 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 01:29:20 +0000 Anonymous 1608772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your shoes up the casual factor to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab--orphan-top#post-1608765 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 01:25:39 +0000 anne 1608765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy - we wrote at the same time.</p> <p>I'm wearing this for casual Fri at work - but feel it may be a bit too casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-lab--orphan-top#post-1608753 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 01:13:10 +0000 Anonymous 1608753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty blue.

Thanks TG and Bernard!</p> <p>I bought this top a couple of months ago. DD has a similar one and I had often wished I had one like hers. But I've hardly worn this. DD's is aqua and I just bought cobalt because it's one of my favourite colours but - it is too close a colour to denim to wear with jeans, and doesn't have the longer back hers does, which adds to the style. In fact I feel rather dowdy in it.</p> <p>I'm trying it here with these gorgeous pants (I agree TG)&nbsp;from Lyn D that I usually wear with the matching knit top she passed on as well - and I like that combination&nbsp; (with Lyn's top) a lot better. Tucking or semi tucking seemed awkward with this top.</p> <p>Also, I usually wear these pants in summer with my SE Trinas in silver but they are so cracked I really don't think I should wear them to work. So I pulled out these 3 years old shoes. They are very comfy as they were bought when I had a job with a lot of standing. Style wise though - I don't like them much.</p> <p>All comments and criticism welcome</p>
