Brilliant choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333723 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 20:27:13 +0000 LaPed 2333723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great shirt! Love the colour on you. </p> <p>I've had my eye on those dark brown Madewell mary janes as well; they're super cute. I hope you're able to source a pair for the fall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333722 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 20:22:39 +0000 annabelle 2333722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a "when you know, you know" moment. Good to see you trust your style instincts! Sometimes items are not in our original price range, until we can't see living without the item, and then can't imagine NOT spending $$$ on it :-)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333713 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 19:49:34 +0000 Sal 2333713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this- looks great Lisa, and I think layering under will work well. Lovely piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333698 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 18:04:21 +0000 pirouette 2333698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that decluttering your wardrobe has given you space to see what you really like. This shirt is perfect for you and I am eager to see what way your style journey will go as you have such amazing eye for detail.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333669 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 15:51:33 +0000 Janet 2333669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! That’s a great top and the color and vibe suit you so well. </p> <p>I like brown too but mainly wear it as an accent, especially since my hair color change (sigh). It worked better when my hair was dark brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333648 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 05:52:00 +0000 Star (Lise) 2333648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jaime&nbsp;</b>I totally get what you are saying.&nbsp; When I compare the quality of the second hand gems I find with new stuff that is at the price I am prepared to pay it is no contest.&nbsp; I only shop seconds now purely for this reason.&nbsp; I love well made clothes.<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>I am lucky that we get a lot of 2nds directly from Italy in our local thrift stores.&nbsp; I never saw quality like this existed in South Africa and am now addicted.<b><br />LJP </b>this is a fabulous top and I think it will look fab with lighter blue jeans if you have in Fall.&nbsp; For added warmth when necessary I would wear an under layer - a long sleeve T that won't necessarily be seen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333637 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 02:28:56 +0000 LJP 2333637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is why I sewed so much of my wardrobe and did all of my own home decor sewing too . Decades later and my standards dropped or self-adjusted as life got busier and more complicated . Maybe this will turn me into more of a sale shopper ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333633 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 02:17:17 +0000 Jaime 2333633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is stunning on you and the vibe is right! I am not sure if this will make as much sense to others as it does to me, but I started to buy second hand clothes because I wanted that high quality at an affordable to me price. Those finished seams are addictive . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333610 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 21:10:50 +0000 Style Fan 2333610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous shirt, and it looks beautiful on you.&nbsp; Well-made garments are a pleasure to wear and feel so good on.&nbsp; Brown works so well for you.&nbsp; I am a fan of brown too, but I haven't found much lately.&nbsp; Maybe that will change.<br />I love the brown polish—my favourite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333606 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 20:27:31 +0000 avicennia 2333606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s fantastic! It’s not an ordinary item (which is good), the cut and color are very flattering on you. So glad you kept it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423/page/2#post-2333598 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 18:02:33 +0000 LJP 2333598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to all of you -I'm glad to know I can still trust my instincts when it comes to picking out "different" things for myself. &nbsp;I *do* love brown and think of it as a sophisticated neutral that goes with so many other colours , and is a nice change from black. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm excited to have the maryjane flats back on my radar, even if I have to wait until late September to order them (supply delays according to Madewell). &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423#post-2333585 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 15:45:28 +0000 ChristelJ 2333585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful shirt, and excellent outfit.

Your Fendi bag, if I remember correctly, would work, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423#post-2333572 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 13:28:00 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2333572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see dark brown as a very sophisticated color for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423#post-2333570 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 12:34:04 +0000 unfrumped 2333570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great addition! I agree it will actually be versatile by changing up the supporting color palette in pants and accessories, and going wider or slimmer with pants, for different silhouettes.<br /> It’s “ statement “ but not OTT, and its being in an earthy neutral also makes it look very natural on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423#post-2333561 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 10:04:47 +0000 Olive Green 2333561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, blown away by how natural this looks on you. I would absolutely wear it under a cropped denim jacket in AC or later in the fall. &nbsp;I love volume and that tames it a bit.&nbsp;<br />Really suits you! Great piece.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423#post-2333559 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 10:01:34 +0000 Column 2333559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could work well with lantern/carrot pants, even in black, for a volume-on-volume, Artful Home vibe. Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423#post-2333552 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 07:02:33 +0000 Mirjana 2333552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice shirt, looks perfect with those jeans and sandals.

You hadn’t added them to your own Finds since you weren’t amongst the few who were pictured below the Find.<br /> They are a rich colour, very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423#post-2333548 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 05:35:02 +0000 slim cat 2333548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful look! It looks fab with your hair - slightly warmer color than I remember last time - fab! The nail polish is gorgeous - love the subtle shine/sparkle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423#post-2333547 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 05:34:00 +0000 Chiara 2333547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with others- great shirt, and brown works beautifully on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pleasure-of-a-well-made-garment-wiw-8423#post-2333546 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 05:01:31 +0000 LJP 2333546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow , Jenni - you’re absolutely right .
