It's lovely on you. And Denim skirts are in now ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1379376 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 12:26:31 +0000 Anonymous 1379376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely love the floral top! I'm clueless on the top-over-shell thing, so no advice there, but it looks good to me. The sandals are great too and look really versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1379370 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 12:09:30 +0000 Elizabeth P 1379370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the way you've interpreted Angie's ensemble here Lynne, softer, prettier.&nbsp; You also look wonderful in the colourful top.&nbsp; Fab all round! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1379331 Mon, 20 Oct 2014 10:35:37 +0000 Lynne 1379331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thankyou for your feedback, ladies, apologies for the delay in replying.....</p> <p>Jenanded, I got these sandals from Hobbs a few years ago and I think they fit the criteria for wardrobe essentials; they seem to work with all manner of casual outfits and the colour is a true neutral for me. If I see a similar pair I'll give you a heads up :).</p> <p>Neel, thankyou; I hadn't thought about de-bombshelling...<br />Deb, KellyGirl, Janet, Gracie, Anne, and Isabel, thankyou for your kind words *blushing*.<br />Suz, I think my problem is actually this particular shirt; when I wear it alone I also feel very 'slopy shouldered' :).&nbsp;I will experiment some more. <br />Unfrumped, good suggestion; &nbsp;I tried white on white as I wasn't very confident with this and thought it would be a good way to dip my toe in&nbsp;for starters.</p> <p>Angie, THANKYOU for my K - whoop, whoop!&nbsp; And you are right about the pearls; I changed them from in to out and back again and really couldn't work it out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378972 Sun, 19 Oct 2014 18:58:16 +0000 Astrid 1378972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shirt and shell look is great! That skirt just magically works with everything. I like Angie's idea of wearing the pearls on your skin inside the collar. Also <b>love</b> the second outfit, the colors of that tunic really make you glow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378516 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 18:28:53 +0000 Isabel 1378516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a treat to see you ! &nbsp;You look great. I love that looser tank as a vest !<br />And you have always looked so awesome in color. &nbsp;Those colors are so pretty with your coloring. &nbsp; &nbsp;XXXXXXX </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378429 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 16:27:39 +0000 Angie 1378429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Queen Denim Skirt. Love seeing you back on our fourm, Lynne.</p> <p>The shirt and shell look great. Try wearing your pearls on your skin inside the collar too.</p> <p>I LOVE #3. K-Word Worthy. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378414 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 15:38:39 +0000 unfrumped 1378414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The floral top is a great find--perfect juxtaposition with the denim skirt, and the sandals are just right. These colors are divine on you.<br />I like the lace shell! I might wear it over a top that contrasts just a bit more to show through the lace although I can appreciate the monochrome purpose. Maybe a very pale pastel?<br />Super outfit creation all around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378408 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 15:32:17 +0000 Suz 1378408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such pretty outfits, Lynne. To my eye they both work. If you feel a need for more structure in #1, you're right that a bag would help, or possibly a shoe with a pointy toe? Or perhaps a different (crisper) button front shirt? I really like this idea to "summerize" the look. The floral top is so lovely on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378397 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 14:53:30 +0000 Gracie 1378397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the layering of the lace top with the long sleeve shirt, it has so much visual interest. The cold-shoulder top in 2 is beautifull and goes perfeclty with the denim skirt, you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378394 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 14:46:41 +0000 kellygirl 1378394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So beautiful in both! Elegant and stylish x 2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378378 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 13:32:45 +0000 anne 1378378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lynne you always look so pretty and polished that I find it hard to evaluate particular looks! I think you are one of those people who I just automatically assume that if you are wearing it, it must be right!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378368 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 13:11:36 +0000 Janet 1378368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That lace detail shell is really pretty and I like the fit and the layering very much! I also think that floral top is beautiful with your coloring. Both are great with the denim skirt and sandals. Fab all around! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378363 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 12:52:23 +0000 Deb 1378363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm particularly liking the first outfit, but then I'm a big fan of both white and femme. Well done on your interpretation. The second outfit suits you and looks summery, youthful and cool and works well with denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378349 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 12:25:10 +0000 Neel 1378349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice interpretation of Angie's shell top ensemble :). I really like it the way it is. It also debombshells the denim skirt.</p> <p>The top in outfit 2 is gorgeous on you. Pretty colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378332 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 10:20:47 +0000 jenanded 1378332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the floral top... so pretty and summery. Where are the sandals from if I can ask Lynne.... Both look very pretty... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shirt-and-shell-topper---does-it-work#post-1378309 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 08:50:26 +0000 Lynne 1378309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked Angie's monochromatic Shirt and Shell Top Combination and I'm experimenting with a spring/summer version.&nbsp; The linen shirt is from Sussan, and the crocheted cotton shell top is from Sportsgirl.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sportsgirl.com.au/clothing/tops/lace-tank">http://www.sportsgirl.com.au/c...../lace-tank</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>The skirt is the Sportscraft skirt that I've posted about numerous times before.&nbsp; If my closet was on fire, I do think I'd consider diving in there to rescue this skirt, ladies :).&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sportscraft.com.au/elisha-denim-skirt-9344961445083.html#start=14">http://www.sportscraft.com.au/.....l#start=14</a></p> <p>Does this work? &nbsp;I feel it needs more structure and am hoping I can add that with a bag......all suggestions, comments, feedback welcome.</p> <p>Also a new tunic with cold-shoulder detail (Forever New) <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.forevernew.com.au/sophie-printed-kaftan-216334?colour=Tropical+Floral">http://www.forevernew.com.au/s.....cal+Floral</a></p> <p>I enjoyed wearing the&nbsp;cold-shoulder top&nbsp;with the skirt and I'm looking forward to trying it with bootcut jeans as per Angie's advice.&nbsp; I love the 70's vibe of the blousy, chiffon-y, caftan-y fit and the big floral print.&nbsp; The lovely drop earrings were a gift from Ornella some years ago and are still going strong; thankyou, Ornella!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for looking and suggestions, ladies. </p>
