I love seeing the difference in styling - is Kyle's the same top? Una's has more white at the bottom / more contrast in the outfit.<br /> The ombre is so much fun with the polka dots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780530 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 16:17:10 +0000 Kyle 780530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I like it a lot, and think the optic print has a little bit of a retro vibe that works well with your style. Seeing it on you and in the link makes me realize that there are a lot of styling options still to be explored. I hope you keep it and Una-ize it in fab fashion. I wore mine simply, with just a pop of color, but I need to broaden my horizons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780439 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 12:04:06 +0000 Lisa 780439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this on you. The dots are fun and the boxy style with the trousers looks lovely here. I'd also like to see this top remixed with a color, skirt or trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780429 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:07:54 +0000 Deborah 780429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una you have made this look yours. The ombré effect gives it an edge shifting it from retro to very modern, love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780411 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 08:51:06 +0000 lyn67 780411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that graphic interpretation of classic polas, just gorgeous, and very current!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780389 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 05:53:06 +0000 Ingunn 780389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this fits you and your style perfectly!

Interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780381 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 05:43:26 +0000 Parsley 780381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, mine is similar, but i don't think it's the same after all. Mine is the cotton version. It's really lightweight and I wore it at the end of summer with white pants, mostly.<br /> It's this one:<br /> <a href="http://www.skinnyhipster.com/2012/10/optic-dot.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.skinnyhipster.com/2.....c-dot.html</a><br /> Is yours rayon? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780377 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 05:13:24 +0000 goldenpig 780377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love polka dots, but this one takes it to a whole new level!

Crew in Vancouver. A very modern but versatile print, looks wonderful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780306 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 01:28:55 +0000 Jaime 780306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am a fan of polka dots anyway, and I think this looks great, fits with your style and I will now meander over to j.crew.com... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780278 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 23:18:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 780278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz said - it looks very op-art &amp; totally within your style imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780250 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 22:39:07 +0000 Sara L. 780250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't usually like polka dots but I really like this top. I think because of the neutral color palette and the ombre effect. It looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780214 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 20:57:51 +0000 modgrl 780214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome - but then again I am a sucker for all things polka dots!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780184 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 20:14:31 +0000 catgirl 780184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, I was just realizing that I subconsciously loved this pattern for its hip-widening effects! Your outfits give me inspiration for my pear friend who is going to the Nordstrom private holiday sale with me next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780182 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 20:12:35 +0000 Ornella 780182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, just returning from my WIW thread where you commented about my turtlenecks... well, this is the pattern I cannot pull off, polkadots (or anything) ombre style with larger stuff at the lower part, so it's 1:1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780161 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:46:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 780161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest your Theory blazers - it gives you another option. I can't remember - do you have burgundy/dark red skinnies? If so, that would look great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780142 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:22:56 +0000 catgirl 780142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Shannon, I am SO trying that! Wonder if I should wear that combo for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow? Theory blazers would also work nicely though I'd rather not cover up the pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780141 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:21:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 780141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This totally suits your style Una and you are rockin' those ombre polka dots. This blouse might work really well with your silver skinnies too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780127 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:02:25 +0000 catgirl 780127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I love your argument for this being UWP! </p> <p>Parsley, have we seen yours? How do you wear it? That color combo sounds divine, I have the striped tunic in those colors. Im actually leaving the sleeves down, because I like the integrity of the pattern that way and because it is SO COLD. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780093 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:25:22 +0000 Parsley 780093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!<br /> I have that same top in kelly green and navy, also on super sale, and it's a great top!<br /> I sewed a little tuck in the sleeves at the wrists because they were too wide to stay scrunched. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780085 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:22:30 +0000 rae 780085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! The ombre makes it UWP to me. Like a regular dotty top got faded in the sun after the world ended. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780080 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:18:32 +0000 Suz 780080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't have seen this as off your radar at all! It seems to fit in very nicely to me. There is nothing "pretty" or "girly" about those dots. It's more like an op-art print. I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780079 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:17:06 +0000 lynne 780079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the ombré polka dots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780077 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:16:05 +0000 Anonymous 780077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the regimented polkadots and the ombre make it fit just fine into your style. I love the boxiness of it with the trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780075 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:14:49 +0000 cciele 780075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clean, graphic, mod -- like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-now-for-something-different#post-780073 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:12:53 +0000 catgirl 780073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a little bit off my style radar (polka dots) but I fell in love with this j. crew top in CA. However, it was too expensive to justify. Then it went on super-sale, and I snapped. What do you think? Worn with BR pants and Dansko Ryders (and wolverine necklace!!)...</p> <p>ETA: Sorry, didn't realize this photo was really so blurry - I thought it was just my morning eyes making it look that way. </p>
