This is a beautiful combination. Lovely silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1195365 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 06:40:23 +0000 Ornella 1195365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, thank you :-)</p> <p><b>Shannon</b> :: I could not believe I'd think of this shirt as you do about your new dress: when will I wear it again?&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz</b> :: to answer your question from #3, it was surprisingly comfortable. I did feel somewhat fidgety, which I think making the turtleneck sleeveless as per missvee's suggestion&nbsp;would address. The outfit itself is&nbsp;maybe not where I'm at style-wise, but interesting to do and wear, because it confirmed to&nbsp;me that I am not denim on denim person at heart, but adding that little visible&nbsp;layer underneath the shirt made me feel a lot more puled together and me. Does that make sense?</p> <p><b>Beth Ann</b>&nbsp;:: yes ma'am ;-)&nbsp;Lots.</p> <p><b>Lisa</b> :: totally more versatile than expected. The fact I can now wear it with skirts is enough to justify why I was hanging on to it despite constantly feeling I had to work hard to style it. Well, it was those extra 2 inches on every hem I <br />took them off that made it difficult, but i'm glad I saw beyond them.</p> <p><b>Day Vies</b> :: your full skirt outfit (on my 1st thread) was another reason why I felt this styling was the right route to take.</p> <p><b>suzanne</b> :: I'm happy you approve. And thank you very much&nbsp;for the vey thorough analysis and comments on other threads.</p> <p>Now, what to wear next??I</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1195323 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 04:22:19 +0000 suzanne 1195323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one is outstanding!

I think this is my favourite outfit so far with this shirt.<br />Talking about scrunching vs. rolling I think that scrunching gives it a more modern feel. This being said I haven't perfect the art myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194590 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:41:25 +0000 adorkable 1194590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh goodness, I adore your skirt! </p> <p>Since you mentioned unbuttoning as an issue, is a camisole a possibility? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194583 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:28:10 +0000 Suz 1194583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!

Now if only I had a flared midi .. Boo! I do have shorter flared skirts which I could probably try with a hose .... Hmm....you got me thinking.</p> <p>ETA: this is how I like to do my sleeves!<br /> <a href="http://www.whowhatwear.com/five-steps-to-cuffing-your-sleeves-jcrew-style/slide6" rel="nofollow">http://www.whowhatwear.com/fiv.....yle/slide6</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194551 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:02:39 +0000 Sara L. 1194551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! &nbsp;I think you nailed this one. &nbsp;I usually roll my sleeves just because the don't usually stay put when scrunched. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194550 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:01:46 +0000 carambola 1194550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one blows me away.

You did a great job, Ornella,&nbsp;wow! I loved the other, layered under red blazer outfit, and this one, too! And scrunched sleeves for me-&nbsp;if they hold up, but rolled also good!&nbsp;You amazed me with your styling skills! It all went to my inspiration folder regarding denim shirt!!! Thanx for posting so we can see and learn&nbsp;IRL!<br /> :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194512 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 13:40:20 +0000 Jaime 1194512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific outfit - I vote scrunching! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194508 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 13:38:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1194508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant Ornella! </p> <p>I'm really loving this chambray shirt experiment. I have a shirt very similar to yours and don't wear it often because I can't think of creative ways to wear it, especially to the office. You are giving me fantastic ideas so thank you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194468 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 12:56:12 +0000 El Cee 1194468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!!! Although all of your chambray shirt experiments have been fabulous, this one is my favorite. You look divine, Ornella. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194421 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 11:22:53 +0000 Robidi 1194421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194403 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:57:01 +0000 Ornella 1194403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>JamC</b> :: I agree,&nbsp;the fit IS everything. The only question is what type of fit we're after. I knew pretty soon that I wanted more fitted one and I'm glad I followed my instinct.</p> <p><b>Astrid</b> :: scrunching with the cuffs showing might be the answer. I'll practice </p> <p>ETA: And yes, I wore this skirt before...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194398 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:47:18 +0000 Astrid 1194398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, have we seen this skirt before? It's beautiful! Love the whole look and the chambray shirt looks great with this. Personally I prefer to roll shirt sleeves up - they never stay where I want them when I'm scrunching them. I like the method where you still see the cuffs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194392 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:35:01 +0000 Ingunn 1194392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! The skirt is beautiful, and the chambray crates a lovely backdrop while adding a relaxed vibe. I prefer scrunched sleeves, personally, but both ways work of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194391 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:33:14 +0000 JamC 1194391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this one! &nbsp;It seems most like you. &nbsp;I think the alterations were needed and with those, you can wear this shirt with almost everything. Angie always says fit is important and I think your experiments are proving that! &nbsp;I like the sleeve rolled, something about the tight button on the scrunched is off to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194388 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:25:43 +0000 Lantana 1194388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loud affirmation for this look Ornella. It's a super skirt and the chambray allows it to shine. Can't help on the sleeves except to say that my technique varies depending on the fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chambray-shirt-suggestions-in-action---experiment-4#post-1194381 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 10:16:42 +0000 Ornella 1194381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Moving on. Good thing this shirt dries fast ;-)</p> <p>This is the best illustration of how I wanted to wear the shirt after your initial suggestions and the main reason why I altered it drastically. You can't see the length but it's very short to avoid bulking and too much excess fabric&nbsp;when tucked in. As for the other alterations, you can compare them with '<i>before'</i> on the <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fancy-playing-style-this-xyz-for-me">old thread</a></b>.</p> <p>The skirt is a much loved item in my wardrobe. Until I unearth my white full&nbsp;linen skirt (summer wardrobe) this is the only full skirt item I have at the moment.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the unbuttoning, lower than this can't go for modesty reasons. I could maybe add a secret button though, hmh...</p> <p>Pearl earrings for Mardi. </p> <ul> <li><b><i>Question for you: </i></b><i>which way of shortening the sleeves is better? Scrunching or rolling?</i></li> </ul> <p>The verdict? Comments, suggestions and spanners equally welcome.</p>
