I love your sandals too. What if you just casually semi-tucked the long tail of the top when you go to put on the white blazer? Do you think that might work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1087152 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 14:50:42 +0000 Beth Ann 1087152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How gorgeous you look!&nbsp; This is a very modern, but easy, approach to warm weather dressing.&nbsp; I love the white jacket, too.&nbsp; Sure, the top looks best "untopped," but I'd hate for you to be chilly.&nbsp; The skirt is a real style booster, and the sandals a bit of color.</p> <p>Wear tis one again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1087145 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 14:37:38 +0000 Anonymous 1087145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit looks wonderful without the jacket.<br /> I have a similar top and find that the topper that works best is a long cascading cardi worn open that is just a bit longer in front than back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1087137 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 14:28:37 +0000 Karie 1087137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just putting in my two cents - the top is lovely and drapes beautifully, but I do agree that a different jacket is in order. How about a lapelless blazer or lapelless&nbsp;long sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1087113 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 13:49:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1087113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top is stunning on you Anne and I love it paired with that skirt. I also like the jacket with the skirt but agree that the jacket and top don't play well together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1087107 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 13:36:43 +0000 Neel 1087107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the beautiful top and the color combo of pink, blue and stripes! I agree the topper needs to be simple. I wonder if a cropped jacket would work better with this style of top. Tucking the top will work I guess but the top would lose its pretty assymetrical design.</p> <p>How about layering over a white button down or long sleeved tee for warmth?</p> <p>ETA - I see you have already tried layering underneath. Hmmmm .. May be it would work best for warmer days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1087086 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 12:15:24 +0000 anne 1087086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks penny will try to get a pic of that combo.<br /> Deb I bought the top around feb 2012 from ezibuy. Grace hill brand I think </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1087068 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 11:33:29 +0000 Deborah 1087068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous top! Anne can I ask where it's from? I agree it may be best without a jacket but if I was going to add a topper, it would be a jacket cut like the Theory Lanai jacket Shannon has...of course in a summer weight:). It's modern, edgy, and simple and wouldn't compete with the top....IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1087065 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 11:20:00 +0000 Lantana 1087065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne this draped top is lovely and would work equally well with white pants, of whatever length takes your fancy.<br /> I agree, keep it for the really hot weather when you wont need a topper.<br /> I love your white jacket and would like to see it styled with the striped tube and a simple, tucked or high hip length top.<br /> Your blue sandals are just the ticket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1086880 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 03:16:04 +0000 anne 1086880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aida.<br /> actually it has just occurred to me that this skirt is too hot to wear for really hot weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1086865 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:49:47 +0000 anne 1086865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>E I have tried a top underneath it in cooler weather - I wasn't that taken with the look of it&nbsp;and you are right it isn't what I need to cope with hot outside and fluctuating &nbsp;air con inside.<br />&nbsp;Anyway I have a long hot summer ahead and plenty of opportunity to wear this outfit at other times. And I have lots of other outfits to wear on casual Fridays&nbsp;to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1086842 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:23:16 +0000 Aida 1086842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne the top is really cool! I think it makes such a big statement on its own, it's a shame to add a topper; I would also opt for a simpler topper if one was needed (or a simpler top to pair with the lovely jacket). I love how the outfit looks in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1086832 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:10:57 +0000 pil 1086832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear things are going well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1086825 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:08:14 +0000 E 1086825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket &amp; shirt details are fighting a bit. That shirt is gorgeous on you though! Have you tried layering under it? Although that'd make it harder so switch from hot outside temps to indoor AC ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1086823 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:05:25 +0000 anne 1086823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Pil. Yes I think the topper does have too much going on.</p> <p>My family has adjusted well to the move, for which we are thankful. The kids love their new school, and they are coping with me working full time. DH picks them up from school and prepares the evening meal mostly (or my Mum does). My job is going well and I have passed the probationary stage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1086802 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:47:03 +0000 pil 1086802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of wonder if the topper should be plainer? I do love that purple top and the stripe skirt on you. Deborah will probably weigh in and sort you out. </p> <p>How is the family adjusting to the move, and how is your new job going? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1086800 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:46:31 +0000 anne 1086800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Carter, that's what I am thinking.&nbsp;<br />On another occasion I wore my plain black cardigan with it. I am not sure how well that worked either (no pics I am afraid)</p> <p>I think I'll have to rule out this top for work wear, unless I wear it tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1086787 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:38:14 +0000 carter 1086787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is great, and the jacket is great. But together, I think there may be too many opposing angles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topper-with-asymmetrical-top#post-1086783 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:35:53 +0000 anne 1086783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit has become a FFBO since the weather warmed up but I need a topper for AC. I wore this white jacket yesterday but am not convinced it works.<br /> Comments and suggestions welcome </p>
