Perfect outfit for an important board meeting. You look serious, not stuffy. Love the blouse--really love it! Hubs did great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370850 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 23:20:24 +0000 Deborah 1370850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wondered if we would see this shirt!&nbsp; I love how you are wearing it.&nbsp; The fit is great and it makes the 'suit' look interesting.&nbsp; Great choice by hubby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370847 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 23:17:50 +0000 Caro in Oz 1370847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit &amp;&nbsp;YLF in the shirt TS. For apple-ish me&nbsp;adding some structure to my upper body&nbsp;always helps me feel really put-together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370838 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 23:12:41 +0000 Traci 1370838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fantastic! &nbsp;I've been on the hunt for a great twist front dress. &nbsp;Now I'm adding crisp twist front white shirt to the list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370591 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 17:46:47 +0000 Suz 1370591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fabulous on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I (and I think Tanya) had a similar Banana Republic sleeveless twist front top that was an Angie recommended item. I wore it a lot for two summers and passed it along this year because, being white, (and a summer top) it had lost its freshness. But I agree that the twist front detail was very helpful!&nbsp;</p> <p>You can definitely wear it with a cardigan for more softness on days you feel like that.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I think it is pretty normal to want some structure at least <b>SOME </b>of the time. I have worked out that for me, softness is what I crave on work-at-home days; structure is what i crave if I have important meetings, am out in the world, am giving a presentation, etc.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370582 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 17:27:52 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1370582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried to layer this morning and finally gave up and put on a sweater. &nbsp;(Was 10 minutes late for work too). &nbsp;If you find the twist front doesn't lay flat enough under a knit top, perhaps under the red EF sweater... &nbsp;The white with the deep red would be amazing. &nbsp;Similar to Suz's save of the NAS mistake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370489 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 15:22:43 +0000 Mona 1370489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shirt on you, dear! In my books, Shannon, you can do no wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370476 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 15:10:22 +0000 unfrumped 1370476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely need to wear! It is&nbsp; fluid but also&nbsp;creates&nbsp;&nbsp;waist definition--what a great combination.<br />I have trouble tucking in my lower-rise pants&nbsp;, but the alternative&nbsp;shirttail-out look&nbsp; is often&nbsp;not professional enough, especially sticking out from under jacket and not the newer intentional hi-low hems. The proportions on your shirt are just perfect, not a full shirttail hem, falls close to the jacket hem--love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370473 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 15:05:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1370473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*clapping hands*</p> <p>Hubby is going to be so chuffed that you like his shirt choice I will admit to feeling completely <i>spiffy</i> today in this outfit. It's funny how when I've decided to add more drape and softness to my style, I wear a crisp shirt and it feels great. What's up with that?</p> <p>Angie - I'm wondering if the knotted front might hinder layering the shirt under a knit?</p> <p>Thank you all so much - and by the way, I can't thank all of you enough lately for replying on my threads even though I haven't been able to do do that to the same degree. And I completely appreciate the feedback regarding my black skinny pants question and your wonderful advice for protein snacks. Munching on some almonds with a cup of green tea as we speak - love y'all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370471 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 15:04:02 +0000 Beth Ann 1370471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have your same slight distrust of crisp shirts:&nbsp; such a bugger to fit right, they don't always move well with me, and then, of course, there's the ironing and the ring around the collar to contend with!&nbsp; </p> <p>Still, they do frame and light up the wearer, don't they?&nbsp; They also give a certain polish and professionalism to the wearer.&nbsp; I find the gathering in the center a lovely feminine touch --- adding interest and softness (a that bit of retro you do so well).</p> <p>You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370459 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 14:37:41 +0000 Nebraskim 1370459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this on you. I admit to having double massive sugar eye for crisp white shirts (which I wear a lot) because to me, they can be super professional or restyled to casual. I love the way the horizontal seaming lifts the waist and the slight flare skims your hips. Perfect design for you. Your spouse has captured your style completely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370449 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 14:25:46 +0000 jackiec 1370449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking very corporate today! Yes, perfect for a board meeting. Looking forward to seeing this shirt in more outfits - it's a great crisp white shirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370446 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 14:23:43 +0000 Windchime 1370446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shirt is so flattering on you; your DH has a good eye! I love it as you've styled it here, with all black and white. To change things up a bit, you could add a necklace or scarf to the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370434 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:57:52 +0000 Angie 1370434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE. (You have 10 months of making up to do, Shannon). Use it as a layering piece under trendy knits too.&nbsp;</p> <p>DH and I are white shirt kindred spirits it seems. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370410 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:27:23 +0000 Golden 1370410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370408 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:22:23 +0000 Sara L. 1370408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shirt!&nbsp; I really like the crisp shirt and the crisp black and white combo.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370401 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:00:33 +0000 Ingunn 1370401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, this shirt is beautiful on you.

I think you succeeded beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370374 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 11:32:49 +0000 Neel 1370374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have to wear that shirt often. :). It is a very flattering style on you! The waist seems to hit at the right spot and with the topper it is just superb! Perfect for a board meeting day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370373 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 11:31:51 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1370373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If your goal was to look professional but not stodgy, you nailed it. &nbsp;I have to wonder why you haven't been wearing this top. &nbsp;The fit looks lovely on you and it seems the great way to wear a more fluid fit with the flattery of shape all in one garment. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crisp-white-shirt#post-1370370 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 11:26:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1370370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband bought me this white shirt for this past Christmas and I will be honest and say I haven't worn it - until today. I think I had some sort of mental block with white shirts in a crisper fabrication. But I put it on this morning and suddenly fell in love!</p> <p>This white shirt is a cotton blend with just the right amount of stretch. It has a v-neck and this interesting twist front that is magical for hiding wobbly bits. I also like that the style means it's not tucked in. It has both a dressy and casual vibe at the same time, if that's possible.</p> <p>So I decided to go "full on suit" today with the white shirt and chose my black bootcut dress pants and black blazer. Even though the blazer and pants are not from the same suit they are the exact same shade of black and similar fabrication so work well as a "faux" suit.</p> <p>My black patent booties, black leather handbag and purple/clear specs finish off the outfit. Sorry I forgot to put lipstick on for the pics but it will be my berry shade I wear today.</p> <p>So what do you think? Does this work for a day with an important Board meeting? I find as per Angie's former comments, I definitely dress for my audience.&nbsp;As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Blazer &amp; blouse: Nygard<br />Trousers: Reitmans<br />Boots: Ara<br />Handbag: Danier Leather</p>
