I have been growing my hair out for several months. It hasn't been this long since high school! I hear you on the pants in #4. I've purged most of my pants in the past few months and I am slowly adding back ones that properly fit. There are several that I'm making do with in the meantime. I just bought 4 new ones from express during a big sale (and only one pair were black!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-sleeveless-tops#post-722237 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 22:26:23 +0000 Angie 722237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How great to see your pretty face! </p> <p>#1 and #2 work really well - both with and without the toppers. I love you in those white jeans! Great looks :)</p> <p>I prefer #3 with the third layer, and in #4 the trousers are a little ill-fitting. Baggy in the wrong places if that makes sense. </p> <p>#5 I like best without the extra layer!</p> <p>You have gorgeous glossy black hair, Kathy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-sleeveless-tops#post-722228 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 22:09:23 +0000 celia 722228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like #1 and #2 without the jacket, of course they may not look so professional (depending on your work place) but are beautiful outfits.<br /> #4 &amp;#5 are great outfits also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-sleeveless-tops#post-722224 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 22:03:08 +0000 KathyL 722224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makrame and JR, I agree about the toppers. They really do make a difference with my sleeveless blouses. I think I have shied away from sleeveless blouses for work for this reason. They are so good for our long summers but having to wear a topper sort of defeats the purpose. </p> <p>JR, I guess I have a lot of "vintage" jewelry them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-sleeveless-tops#post-721597 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 23:39:43 +0000 JR 721597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And my favourite are #2 (really loved that) and #4. Such a gorgeous shade of blue and wonderful earrings. Earrings never get old, by the way, they become vintage and then antiques. ;o)</p> <p>#1 is the only one I liked better without the topper. In every other case, adding the jacket or cardigan really made the outfit better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-sleeveless-tops#post-721567 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 23:12:17 +0000 Makrame 721567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are #1, 4, and 5. </p> <p>It's interesting to me how a lot of sleeveless tops really work best with a topper (for example, the volume of the bubble-hem blouse in #5 is tamed in by the cardigan to create perfect proportions). I find the same is true for my sleeveless tops, which sometimes makes it a struggle to figure out how to wear them on warmer days. But works great for transitional weather!</p> <p> Gorgeous earrings in #4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-sleeveless-tops#post-721560 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 23:05:07 +0000 KathyL 721560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There were definitely more misses than hits this week, but I included them all in the spirit of full disclosure. It was a nice challenge because it made me pull out some of tops that have been left unworn this summer.</p> <p>1. Gap Bootcut white jeans, Ann Taylor blouse, Gap blazer.<br /> This was a fun departure for me. White jeans and a blazer are not typical work wear for me. I got to wear my blazer for the first time since I got it back from the tailor. I used a lady right across the street from my office and she did a great job. She only charged me $20 while Nordstrom had asked for $50. I think she may have given me a small discount because she was smitten with my 2 yr old. LOL. I'll take what I can get!</p> <p>2. Loft skirt, Ann Taylor silk blouse, Gap blazer<br /> I ended up swapping out the blazer for a cardigan, and didn't snap a picture. This silk blouse has been unworn for years because I felt it was too "fancy" for work. Silk material, gold color. I decided to give it a whirl anyway, and felt pretty good with it. Tried it untucked and belted for a different silhouette. I'm a novice at belting, so just trying something different.</p> <p>3. Express pants, Ann Taylor blouse, NY and Co topper<br /> Total outfit failure!! The blouse went into the purge pile. The V neck is too low cut, should have worn it with a cami, plus there is a tie in the back that hurt when I sat back. I wasn't in love with the colors here either. I had on a black and brown blouse but felt the colors were too drab, so changed it out for the green blouse. Should have kept the first one on :(</p> <p>4. NY and Co pants, Halogen blouse, NY and Co topper<br /> The earrings are super old, and I always get compliments when I wear them. The only problem with the blouse is that the inner layer tends to slip down and I inadvertently flash people! I was constantly tugging on it to make sure I was fully covered. Any suggestions for fixing that apart from fashion tape?</p> <p>5. Express pants, Loft blouse, NY and Co cardigan<br /> This is my favorite outfit from the week. This is a bubble hem blouse, and I decided to tuck it in so that it was less voluminous. It felt easy and less fussy than the previous days.</p> <p>Any suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for looking! </p>
