I find I am superinfluenced by color and by contrast--so I will be tempted to get something that looks a certain way even if it's not a good fabric or fit or will be as wearable. If I can catch what it is I'm drawn to it is easier to put back and look for a better iteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769641 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:38:28 +0000 Raisin 769641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JR - that's good, I like that...haha...I will have to recall that when I have another moment like this.</p> <p>Mo - I don't know the answer either. I think in this case I really like the colors. And black and white with a bit of ice blue IS my style, so maybe I should use it as inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769552 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:46:51 +0000 Mo 769552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what Janet and Unfrumped see, but I get the question of why we can be drawn to things that are clearly not our usual style. Don't have an answer, but I get the question lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769543 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:41:18 +0000 JR 769543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it's just the fun element that is calling to you. Or the freshness of the colours. Or a bit of both.</p> <p>I understand you're not going to buy it, but it is fun to figure out why something is calling to us, isn't it? I get saved from those items by muttering "Imaginary Lifestyle" and moving on... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769424 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:40:31 +0000 unfrumped 769424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure you can look cute in anything, and could style this with a slim skirt or pants, but I'm not lovin' this. Reminds me of pj's and of cloud-printed sheets. I'd say, move on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769372 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:36:44 +0000 Raisin 769372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sonia - you're enabling me! haha...</p> <p>Amiable - I am thinking very much like you...I'm not sure what to do when I find those awkward pieces I'm drawn to, and have a big potential to become orphans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769360 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:26:30 +0000 amiable 769360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that I do this with a lot of "statement" pieces - I'm drawn to them, but then when I try to wear them, I feel more clownish than "me". I'm still working through whether to avoid pieces that push me like that, or just to avoid them, since they often end up orphans anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769201 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:31:31 +0000 modgrl 769201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is fun, pattern mixing already built in to the blouse. I guess I would hesitate to buy something so trendy if it is really pricy. Would need to see it on you to make a final call. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769185 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:24:19 +0000 Sonia 769185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a very retro slash modern slash boho look that would look perfect with skinnies or leggings.. with a nice chuknky necklace, or minimal jewels... as you wish. What I love about it that even though it's very loud blouse, I think it's a statement piece, in a demure kind of way.<br /> I love it, I would personally go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769167 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:12:02 +0000 Isabel 769167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too. But I would also need to see it on you.</p> <p>For me, at least, it is a very happy shirt. It just reminds me of FUN. The colors are great and I like the zig zag and solid lower half. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769155 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:06:53 +0000 Raisin 769155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good points Janet. I think I'm really drawn to the color combo. And I really loved that Rudolph movie as a kid (and still now), so maybe that's it too!</p> <p>SusanH - that's funny, I never thought of that! I do love my desserts though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769102 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:38:51 +0000 Anonymous 769102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because it's kind of suggestive of the top being dipped in frosting or something? I always assume there's a hidden agenda to try to trigger the part of my brain that likes dessert... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769100 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:38:14 +0000 Janet 769100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I understand! I often find myself drawn to things that are not in my current style rubric, so when that happens, I try to stop and analyze 1) what it is that attracts me, 2) whether it would play well with the rest of my wardrobe, and 3) whether I would actually *wear* it -- that is often the clincher. Sometimes it seems I admire something but don't actually reach for it when dressing. Other times it seems such an item is a bit of a kick in the seat for my style so I don't get stuck in a rut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769089 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:33:09 +0000 Raisin 769089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - no worries...the little dudes by the icebergs remind me of the abominable from Rudolph too! I had the same thought!</p> <p>Suz - I like the cut of the T, but I'm not sure about he zigzag where the patterns meet.</p> <p>Anyway, it's more of a wonder for me than a possible purchase....I can't figure out why I like it....I shouldn't really, based on my usual style.....but I do....WHY? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769082 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:28:12 +0000 Suz 769082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have to see it on. I like the idea but I'm not sure about the cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769079 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:24:11 +0000 Janet 769079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, don't kill me, but for some reason it makes me think of the Abominable Snowman from Rudolph! </p> <p>All right, now I'm trying to look at it without that association. I like the idea of it -- the contrasting prints, the color scheme... And as you may know if you saw my arctic photos, I am a HUGE fan of icebergs. But there is something about the cut that makes me think of either scrubs or pajamas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-top-is-super-funky-not-my-usual-stylebut-something-about-it#post-769060 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:13:54 +0000 Raisin 769060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>....just draws me in!</p> <p>What do you think of this top? I've been looking at it for a while....it's kinda pricey so I'm not likely to buy it, but am I crazy, or why do I like it so much? It's certainly not very minimal, or solid as I usually like....I do really like the color combo, and I don't know why I guess living in Canada (and at one point Labrador) makes me drawn to the ice berg motif?</p> <p>TSUMORI CHISATO /ICEBERG DOT TEE </p>
