The red jacket just makes the whole thing go POW. I LOVE THIS!!!! I like it better than the inspiration because the red is more saturated. This is fabulous. I hope you wear it often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1194579 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:25:48 +0000 Suz 1194579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab interpretation, Ornella!&nbsp;</p> <p>Did it feel comfortable to you? I often love the way these layered looks appear, but struggle to wear them. Angie's boxy over boxy was a revelation in comfort. But tucked and not boxy tends to make me feel fidgety and fussy. How was this one for you?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1194573 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:16:51 +0000 Beth Ann 1194573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this!&nbsp; You showed that shirt who's boss!<br />The layering is a good interpretation of the inspiration photo and perfect for your style.&nbsp; I would likely get hot, but then homes in my region are often a little overheated.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1193951 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:55:26 +0000 missvee 1193951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a good job you've done! A suggestion for the striped tee - if you're wearing it only as a layering piece, why not remove the sleeves altogether to reduce the bulk when layering? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1193940 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:48:17 +0000 suzanne 1193940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors and the layering all look good. I hesitate to say this because you've done such a good job, but a different jacket might be more striking on you. The color is good but the length seems short for those pants. A different topper might translate the inspiration in a way that is as striking on you as yesterday's outfit was. Looking thru your blog, you wore the chambray shirt with blue/white striped shirt and black topper (I think) with chambray shirt barely peeking out. It was open. So not the same look but colors were similar. I was trying to see if you had a different red topper on your blog and saw the other post. Sorry I couldn't offer up a nifty alternative. I am so impressed with what you are doing with this chambray shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1193939 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:44:59 +0000 Ornella 1193939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gigi, Windchime</b> ::&nbsp;The turtleneck is short sleeved. I cannot wear it alone, it needs topper, in winter one topper is usually not enough, which leads to bulky layers once I start adding them... but it seems I should treat it as&nbsp;transitional season&nbsp;only, not deep winter item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1193926 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:26:33 +0000 Windchime 1193926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super copycat! Top ratings from me, and I hope there will be additional episodes! The red blazer is wonderful with the rest of your outfit. I too am wondering what it is about the sriped turtleneck that you don't like--a fit issue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1193890 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:54:16 +0000 Sara L. 1193890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great! &nbsp;I like the chambray cuffs rolled over the red blazer. &nbsp;The scrunched look is especially fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1193885 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:49:49 +0000 deb 1193885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an excellent version. It looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1193883 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:47:22 +0000 Gigi 1193883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this one! Excellent copycat. :^)</p> <p>Why do you dislike the turtleneck? It must be serious if it has been on Death Row twice. Maybe you should consider replacing it with something very similar? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1193872 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:37:51 +0000 Anonymous 1193872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This viewer gives a 5 star rating I love both un-scrunched and scrunched sleeves. Great idea to use the higher necked sweater&nbsp;too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1193861 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:21:47 +0000 Neel 1193861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Do you know I bought a chambray shirt today? I blame you Ornella :)</p> <p>Love your outfit no 3 and I am going to copy your looks shamelessly! Thanks for doing this fun exercise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-3#post-1193727 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:12:56 +0000 Ornella 1193727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-2">In previous episode</a>:</b><br />After the second styling&nbsp;I was certain I wanted to alter the shirt. I figured it must work for the way&nbsp;I want to wear it. I did have a&nbsp;hope that the shirt can be sneaked under the fluid fit trend, but there were&nbsp;too many separate things that were putting me off it, so I'm trying equally to rescue it and play with it and learn from it.</p> <p>So, I proceeded with the alteration, as mentioned in <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-different-updates">separate </a></b>thread. Thanks for the input on it, I won't be replying to it so it doesn't resurface, I have read all the comments and opinions about the buttons too.</p> <p><b>In tonight's episode:&nbsp;</b><br />I merged a few ideas from the Inge's inspiration photos (as seen in #2)&nbsp;and came up with what looked wearable, felt (al)most like me. I say&nbsp;<i>almost</i> because it's actually quite busy for my current preferences, but I was surprised how much I liked wearing this outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Director's cut:</b><br />The final outfit took a while to come up with. I started with the striped tee and wanted to layer it under the chambray&nbsp;shirt as in the inspiration photo, but somehow it just felt off no matter what I did. I tried untucked shirt, unbuttoned, you name it, but it was just too loose, cowboy-ish and unfinished. As I wanted to keep the visible stripes and the all denim&nbsp;outfit + blazer just felt strange, I had to think a bit differently.<br />The striped short-sleeved&nbsp;turtleneck has 9 lives! I think I reached for it from the donation pile for the second time at least, every now and then it is the best piece to finish the outfit I&nbsp;have in mind.<br />Oh, yes - what did I say yesterday? No more denim on denim? Eating my own words.</p> <p><b>Deleted scenes:&nbsp;</b><br />The outfit with the scrunched sleeves, as I actually wore it most of the time.</p> <p><b><br /></b></p> <p><b>What are the viewer's ratings?</b> </p>
