You look great!</p> <p>I've always had a hard time with button down shirts/blouses. I can never seem to find one that won't gape open at the chest. And if I go up a size, I feel like I'm wearing a tent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-714805 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 17:18:26 +0000 Angie 714805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course! My button downs are less snug and often have stretch. I guess that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-714458 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 10:22:29 +0000 Mona 714458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so disappointing that this is a max 4-6 hours outfit. Looks gorgeous on you and I love the colour combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-714439 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:44:08 +0000 lyn67 714439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everybody:-).<br /> I felt sassy all day-and especially loved the colour combo me, too-, but was wrinckled like crazy at the end of the day...so this is maximum a 4-6 hours outfit:-((.</p> <p>Texstyle:- I'm in the EU, and don't have the shops you mention:-(((.<br /> Suz: -Oh, well-I guess it has to be(eurochic)- I'm european actually:-)).<br /> Angie:- I feel somehow much more restricted in a crisp button down:. running errands like crazy and driving a car regularry...can this be accepted as an excuse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-714437 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:17:51 +0000 Ingunn 714437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this on you! I think the coral bag works fine. The skirt is very pretty with the light blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-714432 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 08:09:56 +0000 fashionista 714432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved it more sans denim jacket. I just have to get some skirt now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-714427 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 07:58:37 +0000 Kiwichik 714427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a winner </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-714233 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 02:34:29 +0000 Makrame 714233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-714089 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:27:16 +0000 Carole 714089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's not to like, you look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-714082 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:22:59 +0000 Beth Ann 714082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A crisp, but casual look. I'm glad to see button downs back. Of course, my DH never stopped wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-713799 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 18:27:12 +0000 jayne 713799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that works perfectly. I like it so much I want a denim skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-713553 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:54:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 713553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous Lyn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-713550 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:53:36 +0000 Angie 713550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you like button downs? They love you! </p> <p>You look sensational. Pretty colour palette </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-713508 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:31:02 +0000 Suz 713508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, I absolutely love this on you! The brown accents bring the look right into fall, while keeping it fresh for the reality of a still-warm day. This very American preppy look is somehow Euro-chic on you, and I think the accessories are what make it. Also, I like the buttons on the shirt - they give it a bit of a twist. Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-713506 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:29:23 +0000 JAileen 713506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit! Actually I like the tan purse with it. If I wanted to carry a coral purse I might have changed to a multicolor belt, such as striped or tribal-like (is that even a word?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-713502 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:28:27 +0000 texstyle 713502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this works very nicely and I really like the outfit. I have recently been wearing more button downs too. Do you buy "talls"? I buy regulars at jcrew that are usually pretty long but they do run slim so I size up a bit. Some I buy at other places (Kohls, Gap, Eddie Bauer) don't seem to be as long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-a-new-button-down#post-713477 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:10:53 +0000 lyn67 713477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Couple of days ago I went shopping with my DD, and bought her a light blue casual feel, soft cotton buttond down, with blue cord patches on the elbows by H&amp;M. I loved it so much on her, that I had to buy it for myself, too.:-))</p> <p>Not much fan of a button downs in general, but I do have one crispier light blue button down from last fall, that has dark brown elbow patches. This wasn't worn a lot as I've found it was somehow almost too crisp for my busty self, if you know what I mean. </p> <p>The new one is even more lighter in colour and much softer, and so- a bit more casual, too.</p> <p>I just didn't realise this will be (again) too short for pants-I have a long torso and it's a pain to find long enough tops for pants to me.<br /> So I was a bit dissapointed (again), but I really wanted to make work this shirt for work(which is a bit of creative business casual here).<br /> I struggled a lot in the morning and, I haven't done a tuck in for ages:-)), but finally came up with this. </p> <p>What do you think?</p> <p>-white denim pencil skirt<br /> -light blue button down<br /> -pumkin wedges and belt (for feeling the fall:-))<br /> -topped with a light wash blue denim jacket</p> <p>I have new specs, too- which have a bit of green in them on sides, so tought coral bag will be too much of a colour, and went with my beige one, but am now bit sorry about that as I see in the pictfiesI could have do it better with the red one.(or not?)<br /> (pls. excuse lack of hair combing and make up, as this is always last thing I do before leaving:-))</p> <p>Thanx for your comments! :-)</p> <p>PS.I opened the front door to have some natural light in the picties, does it show? </p>
