And yes, the collar flipping open looks super annoying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844342 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 22:41:40 +0000 Angie 1844342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my word.<b> I NEVER saw the caramel</b>. I love that too. Can't go wrong with the pearl grey or caramel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844299 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 19:59:39 +0000 Jane 1844299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for your comments.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you Joy, my eyes are blue and I do especially like navy for that reason.</p> <p>Sterling, thank you, I am coming round to this style, but I am slightly hesitant with it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Skylurker, Suz, thank you. I think the grey is the one for me. Great phrase, loosy-goosey but again I am coming around. I think with pearls it will add structure.</p> <p>Thank you for the endorsements on the brown copper, Beth Ann, Ryce, textile, LP, Jenn and Karen13.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think for me the brown copper is a bit too strong. I have quite pale skin and it did feel slightly like the colour was wearing me! I have a lighter colour cable jumper and jacket, which I enjoy wearing. So I think may be the shade might be a bit too dark.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am going to get the grey, have a play at home I think, and see about the neck. Thank you Angie for swaying my thoughts!</p> <p>Very best wishes to all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844215 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 15:03:40 +0000 karen13 1844215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the camel on you. It complements your coloring so well. The grey is more subdued but would be a great support piece with a bolder necklace or scarf and a navy jacket. Those necklines drive me crazy too, and I have broad shoulders and a proportionally larger bust. The fabric looks nice and drape, but maybe you should hold out for a cut you prefer.</p> <p>BTW, I'm surprised you find the color in #1 too strong - it looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844206 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 14:39:44 +0000 Angie 1844206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the pearl grey. Perfect with pearls. Chic. GET.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844200 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 14:30:16 +0000 Jenn 1844200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both the caramel and the gray on you. The brown is the one they call "brown copper," right? That's the same one I ordered, but it shipped from Belgium, so it might be a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844199 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 14:28:09 +0000 LaPed 1844199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caramel is the winner, hands down. Great colour on you. I wasn't sold on the silhouette in the first batch, but in the right colour this looks absolutely stunning. Perfect with those wide black pants too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844194 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 14:16:23 +0000 texstyle 1844194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The caramel color is beautiful with your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844187 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 13:44:22 +0000 Anonymous 1844187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That caramel IS a stunning color. I love caramel and black together, so of course I think it would be a fab addition to your wardrobe.<br /> I wear this neckline style a lot - it's one of my faves. I will note that I find the ones that flop over, as this one appears to, to be annoying. No matter how much I love their look, I always end up not wearing them.<br /> Obviously, ymmv. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844171 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 12:53:43 +0000 Beth Ann 1844171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oooh -- yes! &nbsp;The caramel is it! &nbsp;The slight warmth in the color harmonizes with your hair and skin, and the depth of color provides a contrast that makes your features pop and your skin look cream and lovely.</p> <p>The neckline doesn't bother me -- it looks luxuriously casual.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844166 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 12:42:33 +0000 Jane 1844166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your thoughts. I will follow up with a more detailed reply later today. In the interim this is the camel colour, which I really like. </p> <p>I'm still not quite there with the neck line, and would need a different camisole, but I really do like the style of the rest of the blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844161 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 11:43:57 +0000 Suz 1844161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the grey one, too. I love this type of blouse as well but I have square (though not broad) shoulders. I can see how it might feel "off" if your shoulders slope -- it would depend a bit on the fit and how "loosy-goosey" it is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844147 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 11:04:55 +0000 skylurker 1844147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dove grey colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844137 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 10:09:17 +0000 Anonymous 1844137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not trying to dissuade you, but you don't seem to like this style on yourself. &nbsp;At least, your post seems to imply hesitation. &nbsp;I would try other styes and colors. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844097 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 04:58:46 +0000 Anonymous 1844097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey on you but imagine that the camel may be a stunner with your hair. Too bad the navy did not work out. It looks like a wonderful color on you. Are your eyes blue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poetry-silk-shirts#post-1844093 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 04:45:17 +0000 Jane 1844093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers, I wondered what you thought of the attached? I was inspired by another post to go into Poetry, and try these silk shirts. It isn't a style I would normally wear as I think I would need wider shoulders and a larger bust to carry off.&nbsp;</p> <p>So<br />1 - not for me, collar too near my chin(s)!, colour a bit strong<br />2 - navy better, but some how the open v neck doesn't seem to sit right. Good colour, but I have a navy silky round neck&nbsp;<br />4 &amp; 5 - not a colour I would wear, but I was thinking would look elegant with long pearls and either black or navy.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, I think I may go for the grey, if you thought the colour was good.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am going back today to try the camel colour.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for looking.</p>
