It looks especially great in #6. Keep it for fall/winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-643703 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 22:50:34 +0000 Aziraphale 643703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it, although I think it's a little too tight to wear with skinnies. It looks fab in pic #6. If it were mine, I'd wear it with bare arms and a full (or at least A-line) non-denim skirt, and pop a fitted jean jacket over the top. Or I'd wear it like a waistcoat over a collared shirt (although perhaps not a black one), paired with bootcut jeans. I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-643298 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:42:50 +0000 rachylou 643298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-643271 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:31:14 +0000 Angie 643271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would great over a white button down shirt. And over a soft pleated skirt. I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-643209 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:13:03 +0000 Jonesy 643209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm...I really love it and think it works well with your style. I would probably think of it as a layering piece. So, layered over short- or long-sleeved printed thin knits, or under a cardigan or jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-643108 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 07:04:48 +0000 Mo 643108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like it with something softer or floaty. A chiffon skirt or lace maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642755 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 21:39:04 +0000 krishnidoux 642755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted Nay, which means I am in favour of this beautiful top. It looks so cool on you and the texture is interesting, very sexy, but not "in your face". I also very much like how you have styled it in 4, 5, 6. I think it is interesting enough on its own, and the other clothes shouldn't be competing in edginess, rather underlining the tank's edginess. Do you see what I mean?</p> <p>I love 4: it's fun, young, athletic, neon, trendy.<br /> I love 5: it's sensual, classy, sophisticated.<br /> I love 6: it's incredibly cool, nonchalant, feminine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642749 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 21:19:29 +0000 jayne 642749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>over a black pencil skirt or grey jeans. tell yourself it is any old black top! it seems the people that I see ruling this top, don't treat it like a leather top, but like a blouse, ya know, worn with dressier things. And that works. But to be honest, your style is edgier so your other pieces are already rockin so this puts them over the edge. Got any conservative things to try it with?</p> <p>else, sell and leave the lovely to someone else to worry about </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642537 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 13:51:28 +0000 Mander 642537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it with the jeans and the long gold necklace. A very cool look. What about under a blazer or tuxedo jacket as a fall/winter item? Maybe with a pencil skirt and some funky tights? </p> <p>Or is that just too dull? My taste is nowhere near as avant-garde or daring as yours... le sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642524 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 13:19:46 +0000 Jjsloane 642524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you wear it over a button down (crisp or sheer)? Then it would move to the right season and still be a bit edgy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642522 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 13:13:24 +0000 Anonymous 642522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've done a great job styling it, but you've already found out how seasonally confused it is. If it had a lower neckline and was loose enough to layer under it, that would help, but as it is, it looks best on it's own, and it's not a summery piece. I'd sell it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642312 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 00:41:04 +0000 ironkurtin 642312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this top. I'd wear it like any black sheath top - underneath everything, or as a vest over a thin black shirt. It's gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642309 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 00:19:44 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 642309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 is the one that really appeals to me too. It just seems to create a nice clean silhouette in that one. </p> <p>If you are having that much trouble styling it though, you may want to sell and invest the money in something you will wear more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642305 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 00:14:26 +0000 Kat 642305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't tell from the pix if you could wear a ss tee underneath? I've got a similar item, with a slightly lower scoop and love to wear it over white, grey or black short sleeve tees with jeans or with longer softer items (pants, skirt) in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642231 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 22:26:46 +0000 cciele 642231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 does look amazing! But I'd sell if you are hesitant about the piece -- also, it's very different from the direction you're going now (which I love).</p> <p>P.S. I might be interested in it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642192 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 21:12:07 +0000 Diana 642192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE outfit #6. But I do think that the seasonal confusion thing might be a dealbreaker. I'm pretty sure that there is no weather condition where sleeveless and leather are appropriate. I think you could probably get a similar look that's more comfortable with a similarly shaped, tight knit top of some sort. I don't love it with most of the lighter colored pants and I do think the all-black outfits are not quite your style any more, so I vote sell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642181 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 21:04:25 +0000 Janet 642181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it in #6. But if its that tough to work with, I wonder how much use you'll get from it. I can see how it would be challenging. By the time I want something sleeveless, I don't think I could tolerate leather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642177 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 21:00:23 +0000 bj1111 642177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ps...i see you got a lavender-ish skinnies to recreate the mint and lavender look from kari's post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642176 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 21:00:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 642176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a tough piece to style I suspect but it looks AMAZING in pic #6. That entire outfit is a 10/10 to my eye. But I have to be honest and say I'm not crazy about it in the other outfits. I'm not sure if only wearing an item one way makes it a keeper in your closet. If you got it last year and have only worn it once, my instinct says "sell it". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642174 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 20:59:11 +0000 Kari 642174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like it with the necklace in 5, and 6 just seems perfect to me. I think I would like 8 better without the dark lipstick-with so much black perhaps you could balance it put with your bright pink lips instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642172 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 20:58:28 +0000 bj1111 642172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love it, but i vote sell, since your style is evolving away from such severity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-just-give-up-on-this-shirt#post-642160 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 20:46:28 +0000 annagybe 642160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a Vince sheath leather tank top I got at the Rack last year. I've only worn it once (see last photo #9). #1-#3 shows the fit, #4-#8 were attempts to style it. Now I'm wondering if it just too harsh and severe. It might be seasonably confused for Seattle. When it's warm enough to wear it on it's on, it might be too warm and look odd. Should I just sell it?</p> <p>Yay- Sell it.<br /> Nay - keep it and keep trying. </p>
