For some reason the blue looks dated to me; maybe the sleeve length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pre-tally-syc-flouting-steals-and-deals#post-561511 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 22:05:10 +0000 rae 561511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The orange is awesome!

Nice shape. You look amazing in that colour!</p> <p>Pass on shirt #1. It's too snug, Manidipa.</p> <p>Loving the motivation behind your closet review! You are going like a Boeing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pre-tally-syc-flouting-steals-and-deals#post-561069 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 15:02:11 +0000 shoppingisfun 561069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shirt 1 is just okay to me, not fab. However, being snug, it might be useful if you do any layering with sweaters (but it sounds like you don't really wear stuff like that in your climate). I really like the color of the second one on you! What if you unbuttoned it partway and paired with a cami and a really fab necklace? Maybe roll up the sleeves to 3/4 length, too. How does it look with a little jacket? It does seem slightly boxy compared with the first shirt, but it would be very easy for someone who knows how to sew to nip it in a little at the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pre-tally-syc-flouting-steals-and-deals#post-561040 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 14:28:33 +0000 ManidipaM 561040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last weekend, before Natalie inspired me to count up my closet (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epiphany-somebody-stop-me-and-thank-you-natalie" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ou-natalie</a>), I'd gone on a window-shopping spree. </p> <p>The idea was that trying out different colours and silhouettes might help me determine what styles work better for me, making future shopping trips less time-consuming (I sometimes do buy because I'm sick and tired of searching).</p> <p>But I'm sorry to say I broke SYC and got 6 bits of shopping to come home with me. The tally is 2 shirts, 3 camis (!) and a mystery item I'm still playing with. </p> <p>The last one I was very pleased with, but I no point talking about it until I can show it to you. </p> <p>The camis I should have got *years* ago --- they just rescued several orphan shirts and a dear orphan dress. See for instance this gauzy shirt in my jeans thread: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-overhaul-3-jeans-7-sort-of" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-7-sort-of</a> and<br /> Also the first dress in this thread, with two different camisoles: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-overhaul-2-dresses-keepreject-bonus-morticia-sheena" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....cia-sheena</a><br /> WHY I left it so long, I have no idea! I guess I thought it didn't make enough of a difference. SILLY me! They were on sale, so they didn't have all the colours I wanted; but I plan to go back for more (nude is top of my list).</p> <p>As for the shirts, they were on clearance for a couple of dollars each. I liked the colours. The first is proving a bit of a problem. It's snug (#1-2), so I thought I could wear it as a jacket. But having tried it (#3-5), I'm a little bothered by the vents at the side. What do you think? Any other suggestions?</p> <p>The second shirt I liked the colour. I'm not sure if it suits me, but the price was experimentation-friendly, so I picked it up. What say you, ladies? It's a little gauzy --- indeed, that's what got me looking at camis! That, at least, is a success story. </p> <p>Well, that's my confession. Now back to the shopping diet! </p>
