I had ordered one size which was way too big, then reordered the smaller one&nbsp;to &nbsp;compare the two, and for the price they were at I then&nbsp;decided that one could stay as loungewear if I don't figure out how to wear it. Who'd know I'd love the oversized look this much 3 years later.</p> <p><b>Janet</b> :: my wisdom in this case was&nbsp;accidental, but it's a good lesson for future. Please post your version of this formula when you can.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-experiment-7---day-vies-classics-in-reverse#post-1296934 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 19:22:10 +0000 Neel 1296934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do I think? Stunner! You look beautiful in those colors. Wow. And love your sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-experiment-7---day-vies-classics-in-reverse#post-1296910 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 19:12:31 +0000 Anonymous 1296910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very nice! The bigger shirt give a different vibe, and would be more conducive to tying or semi-tucking (depending on the waist of the jeans). I wear this combo a lot in summer, and this summer, I've been wearing the reverse: medium-wash jeans and a man-tailored white button front. Blue and white just seems to work, and you're working it here, for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-experiment-7---day-vies-classics-in-reverse#post-1296568 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:11:32 +0000 Janet 1296568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a classic pairing -- chambray and white! I like it too, and it's a FFBO for me on days that aren't too hot in the spring and early summer. Such a smart idea to have two of the same shirt but in different fits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-experiment-7---day-vies-classics-in-reverse#post-1296560 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:07:34 +0000 lyn67 1296560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, than you're the&nbsp;wealthy one, Ornella!:-) What an abundence to have 2 of the (exactly?)&nbsp;same items! I sometimes wish the same for me ref.same &nbsp;tops&nbsp;but in diff.&nbsp;lengths and fits, if possible!&nbsp;It looks gorgeous with the white jeans and&nbsp;how great&nbsp;you could do such a&nbsp;stylish, chic(and event appropiate) outfit just &nbsp;SYHZ(shopping your holding zone). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-experiment-7---day-vies-classics-in-reverse#post-1296519 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 13:34:25 +0000 Ornella 1296519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa</b> :: that's interesting. I was thinking whether the darker denim colour would work as well for me personally. Even though it would technically be higher contrast than washed out denim and&nbsp;I mostly prefer that, I&nbsp;came to the conclusion that it probably wouldn't be the same.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Beth Ann</b> :: *hight five *&nbsp;Great minds...

I like the outfit very much, though, especially the nice white line of the leg with the wedge. :)</p> <p>I'm new here so If I'm out of line, please let me know. &nbsp;I'm eager to be a positive contributor to the community.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-experiment-7---day-vies-classics-in-reverse#post-1296196 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 00:02:03 +0000 Anonymous 1296196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you kept that shirt!

The perfect example came in <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eventful-week-round-up#post-1295069">the comment Day Vies wrote on my previous WIW thread</a></b>, when she commented chambray shirt and white skirt combo as:</p> <p> <div></p> <ul> <li><i>"The faded organic feel of the chambray is SO fabulous with the crisp white of the skirt. It's the reverse of a classic faded jeans and white tee combo."</i></li> </ul> <p> <div><i></i>What an <b>a-ha</b> moment! </p> <p>You may remember that a few months ago I asked how to style the old&nbsp;oversized chambray shirt. Following your suggestions, I had several experiments and chambray shirt - which I&nbsp;altered to fit me closer to the body&nbsp;- proved itself to be a staple.</p> <p>What you don't know is that I actually had <u>two of the same</u> shirts I kept the second one&nbsp;in the holding zone, still thinking I can somehow use it precisely for being so big.</p> <p>So, when Day Vies wrote those magical words&nbsp;<b>the reverse of a classic</b> and with it being a season of white bottoms, I&nbsp;simply had to try the relaxed faded denim colour on top and crisp white jeans at&nbsp;bottom.</p> <p>Worn to kiddies birthday party. Accessorised with the bracelet that echoes the shape of the buckle on the sandals and cobalt nail polish.</p> <p>What do&nbsp;you think?</p> <p> </div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div></p>
