Leave no retail stone unturned. </p> <p>I like all the elements (although I would be tempted to shorten that skirt just a touch to see more of your gorgeous gams) - good textures and colors working together nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-857324 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:42:24 +0000 rae 857324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to turn over that retail stone!

Anyone who hits gold with fashion at Costco, you are awesome! Though two of my favorite recent tops are from Target, so there you have it. But you look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-857165 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:37:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 857165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic shirt find. I love the textures in this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-857142 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:09:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 857142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This shirt is made for you MaryK - run back and buy more!</p> <p>Love your whole outfit - the soft neutrals with the crisp white shirt is just delicious and you KNOW I love that handbag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-857049 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:36:05 +0000 Charmian 857049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie always said to leave no retail stone unturned and, WOW, did you take that to heart! I wish I had a Costco membership, as I have issues with bust gaping as well.</p> <p>I think this "low" (vs "high/low") outfit works well for you, MaryK! The artistry is in how you put these items together, not their price point. I adore the juxtaposition of crisp white, tweed, and camel -- I just want to reach through the screen and touch all those lovely textures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-857046 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:34:13 +0000 Marley 857046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow MaryK - once again you've outdone the Pinterest outift! That skirt is gorgeous and you're right - the white shirt fits you perfectly - I'm straining my eyes looking for bust gappage and its. just. not. there. Score! Your entire outift is so interesting and fun to look at - from the necklace to the skirt, the belt, the handbag, and those shoes - I die! Great way to finish out the work-week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-856976 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 17:34:56 +0000 Aziraphale 856976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, bust gappage is the worst. You know, I've often wondered why tailored shirts don't come in a wider array of <em>shapes</em> -- not just sizes. Tailored shirts are extremely flattering when they fit correctly, and completely the opposite when they don't. And they are such a useful wardrobe staple. But so, so many women have the bust gaping issue. You would think retailers would be clamoring for shirts designed to fit a fuller bust. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-856952 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:56:27 +0000 MsMary 856952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aziraphale, both the Brooks Brothers and J Crew shirts (as well as Foxcroft, amont others) had an unacceptable amount of bustal gappage that no amount of fashion tape or even a little safety pin could mitigate. I am large of bust and broad of back and button-fronts are a gigantic challenge for me! (The J Crew was close and I actually bought it, but it lives with CocoLion now!)</p> <p>KikiG, I was tempted to buy two of these at the time, and now I am kicking myself for not having done so! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-856950 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:54:00 +0000 KikiG 856950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go back and get at least one more of those shirts, for a replacement in reserve! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-856949 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:53:31 +0000 Aziraphale 856949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Score! At Costco! Who'd have thunk? But that shirt does fit you very nicely. Love the skirt, too. You look smashing.</p> <p>Out of curiosity, what wasn't right about the J Crew and Brooks Brothers shirts? (The reason I ask is that I have one of each in my closet, and they are my only white shirts!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-856942 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:44:55 +0000 dizzys 856942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-856931 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:27:48 +0000 Anonymous 856931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That shirt is a fab fit on you. I love the colour pallet of your outfit and all the textures make it so interesting. Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-856900 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:56:28 +0000 Carole 856900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Score at Costco! What a find, Mary. Love this textural outfit and such a perfect interpretation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-856899 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:54:52 +0000 MsMary 856899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Dianthus! It's Kirkland brand -- $16.99! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-856897 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:54:11 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 856897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt and you have once again proven to be the master at recreating an outfit and making it even better than the inspiration.</p> <p>Great white button shirt too. What brand is it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-222-my-perfect-white-shirt-finally#post-856894 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:52:23 +0000 MsMary 856894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After looking for the perfect white button-front shirt for ages and striking out at Brooks Brothers and J Crew, among other places, who woulda thunk I'd find my perfect shirt at Costco? But look! Nice and crisp, darts in the right places, 3/4 sleeves so no sleeve-length issues, and no bustal gappage! Hooray!!</p> <p>And it's amazing what you can find on Pinterest these days. I about fainted when I found an outfit featuring a skirt almost identical to one I thrifted a couple of years ago!</p> <p>Skirt: Calvin Klein, thrifted<br /> White shirt: Costco<br /> Camel blazer: Ann Taylor, thrifted<br /> Yellow/tan pumps: Seychelles<br /> Reptile tote: Elliott Lucca (I saw this baby marked WAY down at the Rack last week, if anybody is interested)<br /> Necklace: consignment<br /> Arm party: Nordstrom Rack<br /> "Gold" watch: Target<br /> Nude fishnets: Sockdreams.com</p> <p>This is mostly a super-low-end-retailer look, but I'm pretty happy with it. What do you all think? </p>
