There is enough detail to the top that having more detail ontop with the shawl collar cardigan might be too much. (Though I do like the first cardi, I just think it'll be too much with that particular top.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rose-v-neck-outfit-42108#post-3894 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 01:19:29 +0000 Ana 3894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patience, I know what you mean about the outfit lacking something. I feel that way about my outfit as well. I am always cold inside, so a cardigan is very practical for me. Outside though, I would definitely take it off. It was muggy here the other day, wasn't it! Blah. </p> <p>Anyway, I think that you're on the right track with accessories, and Angie brings up a good point about prints. I'm more of a solid color girl myself--I rarely find a pattern that I really like. I do like your idea of a chunky necklace--I tried it myself to begin with and it just didn't work, like yours, but I think the right necklace style is out there, we just need to find it. I bet a longer necklace would look good as well. I decided that metallic shoes would be the way to go, and I liked Tanya's suggestion of the natural wood jewelry. Ivory jewelry would be nice too. I think with simple summer tops in our climate, your accessory decisions need to be very deliberate, because they are what really spice up your outfit. Does this make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rose-v-neck-outfit-42108#post-3864 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:21:19 +0000 Angie 3864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could always try the top in a pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rose-v-neck-outfit-42108#post-3863 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:44:38 +0000 Patience 3863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, I am wearing something similar today-- if not in color, certainly in silhouette. I think this brings up a good point. I think you look great and that this is a solid silhouette. However, as I was getting dressed this morning, I was feeling that my outfit was slightly lacking-- nice but a bit plain. Maybe you felt this way too. I considered a cardigan but in the midst of trying to get the kids ready and into the car and faced with the lovely mugginess, I just didn't bother. I tried to spice it up with a necklace but I only have a couple of chunky ones that didn't work. I was imagining a long bead and chain necklace and got close with what I have in my wardrobe. But what I'm wondering is that at some point, I might not want to even think about jackets and cardigans for layering because of the heat. I'm stocking up on blousie tops but I also have some wider leg pants that I like to pair with close fitting knits. I'm wondering how to make these outfits pop without the jacket layer? I'm guessing accessories which I do need to work on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rose-v-neck-outfit-42108#post-3846 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 04:16:03 +0000 Angie 3846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful Ana! </p> <p>You need a cheeky cardigan with that outfit. Cropped and tailored. More like the J Crew one and Tanya makes super suggestions. Love the idea of it paired with walk shorts and gold flats. Chunky beaded necklace perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rose-v-neck-outfit-42108#post-3842 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:52:07 +0000 Tanya 3842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, that outfit is totally adorable! You look great!<br /> I personally like the JCrew cardi better, but I could be subjective since I generally shy away from fuller ones like the first one. It would look cute on, but it would depend on where it hits you. I think you could also wear it with your new Boden jacket.<br /> I love the white walk shorts/gold flats idea. You could even wear espadrilles with that!<br /> I think you could also substitute the brown cami for cream one. Maybe you could also add some thin summer scarf in print that incorporates pink,cream and brown.<br /> Or a printed cardi in those colors. If you like wearing them, some goldtone or wooden bangles would work ( but no necklace then). And brown tortoise sunglasses for outside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rose-v-neck-outfit-42108#post-3839 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:35:37 +0000 Ana 3839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, here's what I wore today. The shirt is actually more rose colored than bright pink like it appears in the picture. I've layered it over a dark brown lace cami (which I'm not sure you can really see--it barely peeks out). Dark trouser jeans and cream embroidered heels. Gold filligree jewelry: </p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/DSCF0014-2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0014-2.jpg</a></p> <p>It reached 90 degrees here today and was very humid, hence the fuzzy hair. I didn't black out my face today because I wore earrings that I think lent a lot to the outfit. It was kind of chilly inside though, so I'm thinking I need a cream cardigan to wear over this outfit. I found this one at White House Black Market that I like: </p> <p><a href="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?colorFamily=&#038;productId=300110234&#038;subCatId=&#038;catId=cat210006&#038;fromSearch=&#038;inSeam=" rel="nofollow">http://www.whitehouseblackmark.....38;inSeam=</a></p> <p>I thought it might look nice belted over the ensemble. Another possibility would be this ivory cardigan from J. Crew , which I love and have in brilliant blue:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod90991181&#038;catId=cat301170" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....=cat301170</a></p> <p>The plus to this is that it would be easy to take on and off from inside to outside. The down side is it's 3/4 sleeves and it's merino wool (albeit, light weight wool). </p> <p>Anything you feel I could add this outfit? When it gets hotter I'm thinking of wearing it with tailored white walk shorts and gold ballet flats. That might be my "summer uniform." </p>
