Maybe people's eyes get more green as they get older or something?</p> <p>San, you're welcome for the code, I'm glad you could use it! :)</p> <p>Dani, I would wear it with this cardigan in white or light citron (or possibly kelly green, but I would need to see these in person):</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod91476171&#038;catId=cat302185" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....=cat302185</a> </p> <p>Anyway, I will think about the shirt. It's not super fabulous, it's true. If I go to the J. Crew store and order it, shipping is free and I get 10% off for a student's discount, and I can return it to the store if it ends up not working out, so there's not really anything to lose. The store is right by my husband's work, and I have to go pick him up everyday, so it's not even out of my way. If do end up ordering it, I will definitely put some outfit ideas together and post them here for opinions. </p> <p>Meanwhile, the hunt for summer tops continues (sigh....). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8303 Thu, 22 May 2008 19:45:19 +0000 Anonymous 8303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way Ana, that is a very beautiful picture. You have the cutest face!!!<br /> Also want to thankyou for the discount code for JCrew. It worked. I ordered the matchstick jeans in 2 sizes and the clamdiggers in 2 sizes and some trouser jeans also in 2 sizes.<br /> Now I really must get off this website and get some work done. I really get trapped here and learn soooo much. Angie has started something very good here.<br /> THANKYOU ANGIE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8301 Thu, 22 May 2008 19:41:05 +0000 Anonymous 8301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shirt didn't stand out to me but that is OK because you don't want everything to be a signature piece. Some things have to take back seat and you might have a great sweater or pants or skirt that you want to stand out more. I'm speaking from learning about putting fabrics together for patchwork quilts. They can't all be the star.<br /> My eyes color has changed and I just noticed it recently. I have always had hazel eyes and now they are dark green. I was so surprised when I noticed it because I had never heard of it from anyone before this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8281 Thu, 22 May 2008 18:23:45 +0000 Becky 8281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, I like the top. It's a bit different than your normal, but it's nice to have variety and broaden your horizons a bit. You always look super in the ensembles you put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8268 Thu, 22 May 2008 17:48:52 +0000 Dana 8268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, do you think the collar will work with the cardigan you've ordered? I'm having a hard time imagining the two together, but I could be totally off base. I think you have cuter things, but it would definitely be a different look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8237 Thu, 22 May 2008 16:06:04 +0000 Antje 8237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the shirt is nice, but I also have a harder time imagining you in it. It looks a bit too "nice" (this isn't really the right word; what I mean is that it lacks a little of oomph you usually create, either through richer colors or interesting cuts or layering). It might all depend on how you combine it in an outfit. Surprise us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8220 Thu, 22 May 2008 14:57:58 +0000 Patience 8220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shirt but I am having a hard time picturing it on you mostly because I've never seen you wear something like that. My eye color has changed over my lifetime. When I was young, they were hazel and the have gotten greener so now they are green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8218 Thu, 22 May 2008 14:41:14 +0000 Ana 8218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, my eyes are actually green, but they sort of change depending on what I'm wearing and the lighting, I think. If I wear aqua, they tend to look more blue. If I wear green, they look more green:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6300233-3.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0233-3.jpg</a></p> <p>Plus I think they've changed as I've gotten older too. Has that happened to any of you?</p> <p>J. Crew's button up shirts are really light weight, but I can see your point about the collar. Unfortunately they don't have this one in any of the stores that are near me, so I can't try it on. I think I might order it, but I won't be able to until probably June 6th, since that's when I get my next clothing allowance, and this next one I'm already planning on buying the clamdiggers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8216 Thu, 22 May 2008 14:30:33 +0000 shiny 8216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, denim clamdiggers and white cardi would work. </p> <p>If you don't usually wear prints, I think this one might be an interesting one to try out for you. Doesn't the blue in it match your eye color? </p> <p>My only thought is that the sleeves and collar might be too hot for a hot summer. I am finding this style is more for spring, or air-conditioned offices (if I had to go into the office). That could just be me though... I tend to run warm! </p> <p>But this sleeve length does look particularly cute peeking out under short-sleeve blazers that are so popular right now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8214 Thu, 22 May 2008 14:23:07 +0000 Nicole 8214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial reactaion was that I didn't like it. But the more I think about it, the more I like it for you. I wasn't impressed with the small print floral. I'm picturing it with a belted cardi and a skirt for some reason. I'm really trying to have a more open mind about clothing--not just for myself, but just in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8211 Thu, 22 May 2008 14:14:51 +0000 Ana 8211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few button up printed shirts from J. Crew that I like to wear with sweaters or jackets. All 3 of them have long sleeves though, so I was anxious to get one that had short sleeves. They have a darker pink printed one, but it's all sold out in my size. I like the green one better actually, which I didn't think I would. I don't usually wear prints, it's true, but something about the paisley motif and the colors is interesting and fresh and I like it. I would wear this with dark denim clamdiggers instead of white (I decided to take a pass on the white ones), so I thought the white cardi might still be okay. I am planning on getting a dark green cardigan but it might not be the right shade to go with the light shirt.</p> <p>I'm looking for some different "kinds" of summer tops, rather than have all thick strap sleeveless knit tops. I can get tired of wearing the same type of top pretty quickly if it's too hot to layer much, especially since our summers here are looooong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8205 Thu, 22 May 2008 13:45:25 +0000 shiny 8205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, at first glance, I thought this floral looked a bit blah and might wash a person out completely. But, then I saw your photo on the Who's Who, and I think the colors would be spectacular on you, really bring out your eye color!! </p> <p>If you wore it with white clamdiggers though I'd consider wearing a cardi in green or blue to pick up the colors in the print and make it pop more. That might just be me though... I don't really like the white cardi/white pants look. </p> <p>I never responded to the floral blog post, but this is the type of floral I would go for myself. Since I'm short, I like smaller-scale florals. I'm usually not that big into florals, but do own one that I got from ATL awhile back that I have been wearing quite frequently. </p> <p>I'm also one who usually doesn't wear collared, buttoned shirts like this, but I have to confess I added not one but *two* recently... both with same length sleeves as the jcrew one. I also like this length sleeve, not sure why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8198 Thu, 22 May 2008 13:37:02 +0000 Inge 8198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh, sorry, I just realised I got Boden and J. Crew mixed up. Boden has a UK site and a few nice items, but I really love the J. Crew shirts and tops. Of course they don't ship to Europe (but do shop to Japan, maybe I should send them an e-mail and ask them to consider Europe as well;-)</p> <p>Can you tell I really like their stuff?-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8194 Thu, 22 May 2008 13:25:40 +0000 Inge 8194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it Ana! I'm not a big fan of florals and patterns in general but for some reason I am drawn to the floral prints on the J. Crew site. I think they look fresh, feminine and modern. The colours are great and the cut of the shirt is good too, it's fitted and has elbow length sleeves, which I know you like (I do too) and it would suit you methinks.</p> <p>A little off topic: I only vaguely knew J. Crew before I found YLF, but loved their styles immediately and today I just received my first order from them (the ruffled cardigan in navy). It's a bit more light-weight than I expected, but that's not a problem, and it fits perfectly. I'm so glad. Fingers crossed that the two skirts on back-order are hits too. They're not cheap, especially since I have to order from the UK site (grrrr that darn pound!), but if everything fits and looks this good, then they've got theirselves a new fan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8165 Thu, 22 May 2008 05:04:49 +0000 Angie 8165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not your style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-all-think-of-this-shirt#post-8164 Thu, 22 May 2008 04:40:47 +0000 Ana 8164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the light green color of this shirt, and I think it would be cute with the white short sleeve cardigan I ordered and possibly a belt and clamdiggers. I'm considering it for one of my summer tops, but it could probably go into the fall here as well:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod93586171&#038;catId=cat302189" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....=cat302189</a> </p>
