I havren't had a chance to wear my aqua halter neck top and matching skirt yet, but warmer days will return before I know it. I'm a huge classic movie fan and Rear Window is one of my top three for fashion. Edith Head's designs were brilliant and you can see why she won 7 Oscars for costume design. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376582 Tue, 17 Dec 2024 01:14:46 +0000 Lisa 2376582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's one fabulous top, such great draping to it and a timeless, elegant look. What a smart move to get it in three colors!</p> <p>The green and blues paired together is such a soothing combination, it gives me ocean vibes. A great choice for a hot day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376573 Tue, 17 Dec 2024 00:32:18 +0000 Brooklyn 2376573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Janet, yes it is bra friendly. Definitely cut away at the back but ok with a racer back bra. I don’t like showing my back at all, but don’t mind showing my shoulders. As long as I’m not out in the midday sun.</p> <p>Bijou, please try the white!</p> <p>Angie, rebekahphoto, carol, RobinF, Sal, MsMaven, it’s a great film. I’m not sure if it’s my favourite Hitchcock. Notorious would be a contender too. Hard to choose. But I love Grace Kelly’s look in it. She wears an amazing black and white dress too. And I love her (ombré!) blue dress in To Catch a Thief. And the gold ball dress. I could go on and on…</p> <p>Slimcat, the necklace consists of panels of hammered gold. Very me :)</p> <p>Firecracker, your top looks fab. Very you because of the asymmetry.</p> <p>Dee, Indigoprint, Jaime, thanks for chiming in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376564 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:00:51 +0000 Janet 2376564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, somehow I missed the part about a racerback bra, which sometimes makes a top workable for me (if the armholes are not too wide or deep). My back is not as nice-looking as it once was, so I’m not super keen on showing it much anymore. LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376559 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:46:31 +0000 Dee 2376559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous as always, such a fab top, it adds ease and elegance to any outfit. glad you bought all the colours to enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376556 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:37:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2376556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I can see why you are smitten with that look on Grace Kelly. Dynamite! And your new tops are super renditions of that blouse--I love that your version is even more well suited for you with its racer back and perfect length for wearing untucked. Your tonal green outfit is gorgeous.</div><div><br /></div><div>I would love to emulate that look, too, but alas, this kind of wrap top does not work well on me. I have tried many versions. I do have a couple of versions that are okay. Not my best, but I can at least have my day here or there with a wrap top. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376552 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:03:05 +0000 rebekahphoto 2376552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great top! looks fantastic on you.

Love your perfect gold jewelry - makes the look for me .<br />Movies, shows and music videos are strong inspirations - happy it all came together for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376546 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:58:49 +0000 Carol 2376546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Movies are fun inspiration. I will have to see Rear Window again--I can just picture that suit barely. Now this begs for another post--movie outfits we love. I can think of many, beginning with a work dress that just so happens to be flouncy enough to sing "America" in, from the first West Side Story.</p> <p>Great shirt. I do think my arms are good enough to make it in this shirt. I like that you have styled it with bold, gold jewelry.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376544 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:54:05 +0000 Carol 2376544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet-- I think she said it takes a racerback bra, but I don't know if that would work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376543 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:49:09 +0000 Bijou 2376543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow that top is sensational on you and I too adore halter neck tops that have backs to them! I will have to check out Zara, I hope this top works for me too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376540 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:11:15 +0000 Janet 2376540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that top! It looks fantastic on you. I’d be all over it except it seems very bra-unfriendly. But I adore that style and will live vicariously through you, unless a variation becomes available that has more coverage in back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376535 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:16:11 +0000 RobinF 2376535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite Hitchcock as well! Grace Kelly's dresses were so beautiful and elegant! Even if I didn't like the movie I would watch it for her style! </p> <p>Love your new tops, how smart to get in three colors!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376531 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:39:55 +0000 Indigoprint 2376531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376528 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 09:47:26 +0000 Jaime 2376528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do Grace Kelly justice in your gorgeous look!

LOVE :)</p> <p>KILLER look! And pretty with the wall of bling behind the neckline. Beachy Glam. </p> <p>Love the white, and Grace’s pearls! Predictably.</p> <p>Good job buying THREE colours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376518 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 05:47:16 +0000 MsMaven 2376518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous top Brooklyn. I remember the movie but not Kelly's clothes, but looking at the photos all I can say is Wow! What a great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376516 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 04:28:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2376516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes What’s not to love about Grace?</p> <p>By the way, the top is a linen cotton mix. Usually this dyes well. I will report back but probably not until next year </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376514 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 04:15:57 +0000 Suz 2376514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is excellent information, <b>Brooklyn.</b> I will definitely be watching to see if they sell it here next summer.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think <b>Angie</b> is going to love Grace's pearls, too. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376513 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 03:58:07 +0000 Brooklyn 2376513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz. I know you like this style of top too. It’s hard to find v necks that suit us. I actually bought a second version of the white top in a larger size so that I can dye it. I got the larger size because dyeing can shrink items. The larger size has more ease but still looks good in my opinion. I do plan to wear it in white as well. Very happy with this purchase! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376512 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 03:49:26 +0000 Suz 2376512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! That is gorgeous, <b>Brooklyn!</b> And such a fantastic style of top - -I love love love the neckline. And definitely remember the Grace Kelly version as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really hope Zara sells this top in the N. American market next summer because I will be buying multiples of the white and dyeing some of them in my colours, courtesy your tutelage on that front! Might try the green as well. The back definitely makes it easier to wear and also the fabrication.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-grace-kelly-top#post-2376510 Mon, 16 Dec 2024 03:25:50 +0000 Brooklyn 2376510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ever since seeing the movie Rear Window decades ago I have been somewhat obsessed with a particular outfit worn by Grace Kelly. It consists of a pale green skirt suit and white halter neck top.</p> <p>I have had various tries at emulating the outfit over the years, including in my 20s when I wore a pale green skirt suit with a white sleeveless top to my brother’s graduation. I wouldn’t wear the skirt suit now, but I am still a double thumbs up for a sleeveless high neck wrap top. It’s a HEWI of the highest order.</p> <p>Imagine my joy when a linen blend version appeared at Zara! It’s even better than the GK version because it has a back and you can wear a racer back bra underneath it. And you don’t have to tuck it in because of the wrap front. I bought all 3 colours, including the white. I know Angie will be pleased about the white :)</p> <p>Here is the green version, in a typical (tonal!) blue-green outfit. Worn to lunch on a 35C day.</p> <p>If you like this sort of top and have access to it at a Zara, I recommend that you check it out. Runs small. (I can particularly see it on Bijou, our own Grace Kelly.) </p>
