And they are ALL fab!!

I love every one of your shirts! And the oxfords? They are so FAB!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686683 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 02:00:27 +0000 Angie 686683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forever thoughtful, Shevia. I will wear them on the plane trip back home after my robbery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686681 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 01:57:39 +0000 Jaime 686681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely way to wake up! Thank you for your thoughtful comments. For those who asked about the combination in #5, these boyfriend gap jeans (older model) have a long rise and I think they shorten my leg too much to wear with this length top. I do like the top and will try it another way. </p> <p>And thanks for the shoe love! Since Angie would have to travel very far to steal them, I will add that they feel like sneakers with extremely cushy and comfortable insoles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686680 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 01:57:37 +0000 RunnerChick 686680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peeptoe loafers are my new favorite, and I didn't even know they were a thing until I read this post a few minutes ago! Love all the blouses on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686636 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 01:40:09 +0000 Jonesy 686636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeousness all around!! Love everything! Maybe the last top would work with different bottoms, and the pants would work better with a different top? Not terrible, by any means, just not as fab as the others. Not sure about tucking, but it would be fun to give it a try and post some pics :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686288 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:38:55 +0000 catgirl 686288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I loved the Equipment blouse even before I realized that's what it was. FAB! I'm not in love with #4 but I don't do sleeveless button downs, so I think I'm a poor judge there. All the rest are brilliant! And your oxfords are extra-adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686254 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:50:20 +0000 rachylou 686254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out of the ballpark! #3 &amp; 4 are <em>fantastic</em>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686248 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:43:20 +0000 Suz 686248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those SHOES!!! Oh my. They look wonderful on you. And especially with the workhorse shorts. </p> <p>The blouses are all wonderful. You are wearing my summer uniform (except your tops are nicer than mine). I love both 3 and 4. </p> <p>I think the top in #5 is just a bit short but will work well tucked. The jeans look good, but maybe with a different top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686225 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:17:57 +0000 JR 686225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the straight blouses in 1-3 are particularly flattering on you. I really love how you're wearing them, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686156 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:57:51 +0000 Angie 686156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I am humbled to have inspired your recent shirt and blouse love. They work well with your tomboy style :)</p> <p>I love it all, Shevia! All 10s, and some are 11 out of 10!</p> <p> I am so going to steal those flat oxfords. They are *sublime*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686154 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:56:56 +0000 Anonymous 686154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially love you in #1 and #5! I am envying your ability to wear this style and look so chic! I'm so busty that I can't wear blousy without looking pregnant </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686144 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:43:34 +0000 Queen Mum 686144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in blouses Shevia! I think all of these work for you. The first 2 are my favorites.<br /> #5 just seems a titch too short for those pants. I think if it were an inch longer, it would make all the difference. Do you have a skirt you could try it with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686142 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:41:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 686142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these on you Shevia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686141 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:41:09 +0000 Makrame 686141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 1-2 and 3. Amazing blouses on you! The plaid shirt in #4 is very nice, too.</p> <p>It looks like the shirt in #5 may be a bit too short when worn with pants. </p> <p>Cool shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686138 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:35:33 +0000 Isis 686138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1---your new equipment blouse is a gorgeous color and drapes beautifully. And those SHOES! I also love the way the taupe in the shoes echoes the taupe shorts. Really fabulous look. </p> <p>The rest of the blouses are lovely, and I like #5 too----are you unsure whether these are not BF jeans? What is it that you don't like about #5? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686020 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:14:27 +0000 Jaime 686020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback -I am glad #3 is popular! Sveta, thanks for the link! Although I don't specifically remember seeing it, it is very likely that I did and that explains why I was drawn to this blouse. Mona, buying the blouse on ebay was very straight forward and much cheaper than retail. I order all sorts of things on ebay, although not usually clothes. Thanks again for your feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-686003 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:39:24 +0000 Mona 686003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely blouses, Shevia. The shoes are just adorable. How did the ebay work for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-685952 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 04:38:32 +0000 jen 685952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you get sick of #3 send it to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-685941 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 04:13:23 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 685941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all, including the plaid shirt. So jealous of your fabulous consignment finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-685939 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 04:10:09 +0000 Dana 685939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1/2 and 3 are my favorites. The shoes are to die for. I had a hard time getting into the style until I saw them on everyone in Paris. Good call on your Venice buy. I can't be a good judge of #4 as I'm not a fan of plaid. The blouse in #5 is cute on you...you have such a cute smile! I don't know that the white jeans are too small. It's hard yo ell but I'm not sure if they fit you perfectly. You have great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-685938 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 04:08:29 +0000 Vix 685938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Shevia --</p> <p>IMO# 4 is really really emphasizing lots of wonderful things re your shape and complexion. I think you can trust Mr Shopowner.</p> <p>The color palette in #1/2 is so perfect for this time of year, and I love the repeat of the pants' taupe shade in the shoes...keeps it very soothing.</p> <p>I defer to those who are mastering the looser-fit shirts to weigh in there as I would love to see the hem come up a bit (like #4's) but the color looks like a winner on you.</p> <p>I share your instincts re #5 -- the shirt seems like it's hitting in a flattering spot and overall great on you, so maybe there's just something with the pant rise/shape that's a bit off. Perhaps try with a longer top worn out as well as a tucked one and try the shirt with other partners? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-685936 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 04:06:47 +0000 Jem 685936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these all look fantastic on you! I especially love 3 because it's so unusual and interesting!! I love your shoes in 1, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-685927 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 03:42:21 +0000 Sveta 685927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shirt in #3 looks similar to the one Angie posted on her Pintrest:<br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417183299956/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/18577417183299956/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-685919 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 03:27:33 +0000 annagybe 685919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shirt in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---trying-to-be-more-blousey#post-685916 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 03:20:53 +0000 Jaime 685916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mostly due to Angie's influence (or, shall I say, my Angie admiration), I have slowly come round to the idea that blouses are more suitable for me than knits. Because my torso is pretty blocky after my pregnancies, I felt that finding tops that fit without gaping to be difficult. Well thanks to YLF I have found some success:</p> <p>1 &amp; 2. I have had my eyes open for an Equipment blouse for years, but finally took the ebay plunge thanks to Una. I love it. I am wearing it with workhorse Miu Miu long shorts that I bought second hand and my new Janet Sport shoes bought on vacation. (This is a going out in the evening with the kids. It is too hot for the day in August.)</p> <p>3. New Stefanel blouse bought in Venice during the July sale. I love that it fits my shoulder and does not gape over my chest or stomach. Otherwise outfit repeat.</p> <p>4. Consignment shop McQ top. I wasn't sure about this top but the shop owner, whom I like, insisted it flattered my figure. Hmmm. </p> <p>5. This I did not wear and don't think it works as is. The jeans are thrifted gap boyfriend (from a few years ago). If I were buying them new I would size up, but I think these will only work with a tucked in shirt? Shoes are from Israeli brand Couple Of - they make very comfortable, low heal shoes. And these are peep toed loafers (perhaps only I find that idea exciting?)!</p> <p>Nothing is returnable, but much is sellable, and I am happy receive to frank comments and suggestions! </p>
