You've taken the shirt you never seemed to wear and found an outfit that is really stunning on you! This is a keeper. I don't think I would have it altered now. Just from the photos, the size and the fluidity work really well. Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1193342 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:55:41 +0000 Lisa 1193342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it.&nbsp; White and blue denim work so very well together.&nbsp; I also like the idea to pair this shirt with a print (if you have one).&nbsp; I often see inspiration photos with leopard print or camo print paired with this style of shirt.&nbsp; Also really bright trousers often work well too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1193182 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:14:05 +0000 lyn67 1193182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here it is, on me for your reference-excuse the messy hair and no makeup.&nbsp;I tried to style it first with no whites, but given the darker(and brighter!)&nbsp;hue am not sure it works that well. Never mind, I'll keep it for the white jeans, and white&nbsp;denim skirts. Not shown here, as there was &nbsp;no more time for it &nbsp;in the morning:-(, but that is&nbsp;no brain IMO! I just love the cut and the material.&nbsp;Thus,&nbsp;will have to think a bit more about the &nbsp;yellowy golden buttons:-(. I wear more silver right now... hmm. Is that a deal breaker? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1193173 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:50:18 +0000 Lantana 1193173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just had a peek at your prior posts and I love the original chambray on denim. :)<br />It would look nice with a floral pencil skirt too, not ditsy floral, Big Floral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1193170 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:46:26 +0000 Lantana 1193170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second rolling the cuffs a few more times so there is not a straight line of blue horizontally (what I think of as the Caroline Herrera roll) and unbuttoning to make a deeper V.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1193152 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 09:16:33 +0000 Ornella 1193152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love how many different views there are.

This one looks more playful and fresh. The open neckline helps a lot, and the white jeans/red belt make it bright. Nice job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192884 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 23:55:28 +0000 carter 1192884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with the white jeans. What about a leopard belt? (Note: leopard may only be my answer to everything) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192877 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 23:39:48 +0000 Day Vies 1192877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big ol' thumbs' up! &nbsp;I love the addition of the red belt. It definitely makes the outfit your own. The rolled sleeves popped collar and more skin exposed around the neck make this chambray shirt a complete 180 from yesterday. &nbsp;<i>lovely!!!!&nbsp;</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192843 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 23:04:52 +0000 shiny 1192843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look amazing. And modern, with the looser/fluid fit shirt. That said, I can see what you are seeing too, how it might work with a more fitted shirt like your inspiration photo.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I would recommend not tailoring this particular shirt. There's a place for looser, and yes also longer, shirt like this. I would instead go out and get a new shirt that is a bit&nbsp;more fitted, so you can play with that.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192830 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 22:58:26 +0000 Inge 1192830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella!!!!

I can't believe you have Inge folders on your computer :-)) </p> <p>And might I just add that I am beyond impressed with your thorough, super organized&nbsp;and analytical approach to this, wow.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192759 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 22:03:50 +0000 Ornella 1192759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Inge</b> :: the least I could do was to take your suggestions seriously ;-)</p> <p>This is my working folder.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192757 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 22:00:06 +0000 Inge 1192757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks perfect to me too, Ornella. Love the crisp white with this shade of blue, and the taupe booties, red belt and pearl earrings are wonderful accents. This is a big yes for me, glad to hear you felt good in it.<br />(and glad to hear the Pinterest pics were helpful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192738 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 21:42:23 +0000 Ornella 1192738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>lyn67</b> :: thanks! If the experimenting works out, I'd be very interested. The shirt you linked to (saving for future reference:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.charles-voegele.de/search_result/?categoryID=search&amp;query=2146117587">http://www.charles-voegele.de/.....2146117587</a>)&nbsp;has the right colour for me and more importantly the right cut of the shoulder line. Very, very tempted.</p> <p><b>Jules</b> :: it's too short to be a tunic I agree the inspiration photo misses the belt, that's one of the things I always notice. The belt loops are there for a reason IMO. For me, lower contrast belt to be worn with white jeans&nbsp;is very high&nbsp;on the shopping list.</p> <p><b>L'Abeille</b> :: more skin? OK, watch the next experiment where I'll take it into account. Thanks - each experiment gives me&nbsp;new suggestions and twists which I then&nbsp;try to incorporate into the next styling attempt.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192713 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 21:00:21 +0000 L'Abeille 1192713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hardly an expert here, but: I would like to see one more button undone on the shirt (see where it hits on the inspiration pic? Make a deeper V at the neckline) and also one more roll of the cuffs, so they stop just below the elbow. Angie says bare skin can add structure to an unstructured outfit, and I think you would notice a different effect.</p> <p>From what I can see, the shoulder line hits you at just the right spot. So the shirt isn't actually a size too big, though I agree the cut is very wide and long and could do with some trimming down. But it works beautifully with the white jeans.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192704 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 20:55:30 +0000 Suz 1192704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, Ornella! This one works beautifully, to my mind.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192689 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 20:30:08 +0000 deb 1192689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is wonderful and the pants and hat match. Did you have the crash helmet on the playground too? Love this look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192664 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:50:02 +0000 Jules 1192664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's too big as well as too long, maybe rather than (or before)&nbsp;shortening it, it would work better as an oversized tunic over skinnies, a tube skirt or other lean bottom? </p> <p>I like your look better than the inspo, which looks a little unfinished without a belt. I like the red but I think a light neutral, white or metallic belt would be another good look.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192623 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:03:39 +0000 lyn67 1192623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ornella! I"ve just came back from a trip in the town, and you were in my thoughts all afternoon:-). Can you imagine I found&nbsp;a new denim shirt in my size, so I can also button it up. Love it is darker, and very very thin chambray-so drapes better and also, &nbsp;has a kind of glaze/shine to it, so felt a bit more polished than the average. I will try to style it in the morning, to see if will pay off to keep it, but for now, I'm in awe:-). See here if interested:</p> <p><a href="http://www.charles-voegele.de/de/jeanshemd-2146117587.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.charles-voegele.de/.....17587.html</a></p> <p>This is not a high end shop(you have to have &nbsp;it there, too:-))),&nbsp; but&nbsp;still has good merchandises. </p> <p>BTW I love &nbsp;your new experiment with unbuttoned neck, the white jeans AND red belt!!! YLF, Ornella!</p> <p>ETA. I see the link is not working for a matter(?) but you can search the item on the website by yourself.

I will chop some of it once I take the swing machine out... ;-)</p> <p>I felt good in this, btw. I would not post otherwise, some of the stylings I've tried in the meantime are not being posted purely on the basis that I felt meh in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192549 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 17:54:34 +0000 Sveta 1192549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good...how you feel in it is a different story ( I also&nbsp;struggle to&nbsp;make the denim shirt working for me)<br />Have you tried to semi tuck the shirt? I find that I like it better this way with not-fitted shirts...although yours is pretty long so it may be hard to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192538 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 17:41:27 +0000 catgirl 1192538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think it's perfect... While the fitted denim shirts Are adorable I love the fluid fit. You are brave to wear white on a construction site! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192536 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 17:38:44 +0000 Astrid 1192536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with the white jeans! I second adorkable that the shirt seems just a tad too big, but it works well in this outfit. The red belt is a nice detail. And the construction picture is great... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2#post-1192510 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 17:14:49 +0000 adorkable 1192510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dig it although I do think the shirt is a smidge too big. Nailed the inspiration!</p> <p>I think I'd like to see color in the shoes as well. </p>
