You are doing great without your Ts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-life-without-tees---experiment-2-with-linen-button-down#post-706780 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 00:31:12 +0000 shiny 706780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Deborah!</p> <p>The creasing preference reminded me of my first style mentor (who may be lurking on here). I remember bemoaning creases on my linen skirt, and she said, "Oh, no worries; that means that the fabric is of high quality." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-life-without-tees---experiment-2-with-linen-button-down#post-706772 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 00:24:06 +0000 Deborah 706772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, I like the shirt a lot. The color is great and I actually like to see it semi tucked? If you don't mind me being honest, I am not keen on #2. This has to do with certain associations I have with the the open shirt over a tshirt/top. Where I live, this is a bit of uniform for older ladies. It's a very nice, neat look but not overly 'modern' in my eyes and one that I just don't associate with someone youthful like yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-life-without-tees---experiment-2-with-linen-button-down#post-706742 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 00:00:50 +0000 celia 706742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you live without tees </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-life-without-tees---experiment-2-with-linen-button-down#post-706715 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 23:40:29 +0000 Jjsloane 706715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have learned to embrace the crease too and am trying to fit in my linen wearing before it's fall and those who don't know give me the "eye" (but mine is all white or black) Yours is a great color and style. Love the colorful bracelets too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-life-without-tees---experiment-2-with-linen-button-down#post-706704 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 23:32:29 +0000 Angie 706704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you buy this shirt recently, or did you SYC? </p> <p>You look great in #1! I prefer the shirt worn as a shirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-life-without-tees---experiment-2-with-linen-button-down#post-706610 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:19:39 +0000 JR 706610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-life-without-tees---experiment-2-with-linen-button-down#post-706586 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:03:31 +0000 Aida 706586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute! I enjoy wearing my bright orange linen shirt similarly styled to #1. This outfit looks breezy and comfy, and just as "easy" as a tee. Nicely styled, O! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-life-without-tees---experiment-2-with-linen-button-down#post-706532 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:45:36 +0000 Ornella 706532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><em>~ This is likely to be post-and-run, we're off on holiday from tomorrow, so I may not be able to participate during that time.</em></p> <p>Day 2 of the intentional non-tee outfit. Another one of the advices from my epiphany<strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parting-of-our-ways---but-where-does-it-leave-or-take-me"> thread</a></strong> was put to test (waving to Inge), but only because by pure luck and coincidence I come across the long casual linen button down! The quality is amazing, so much so that today I tried to find another one in the same style at several locations that sell this brand. It just works. This shirt is one of those items that the most rigid SYC would be worth worth breaking for, but I always left open the option to buy quality things that fill wardrobe holes.</p> <p>Best of all - it is orange, of all colors. The one that actually works for me.</p> <p>So, today's outfit is similar to <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-life-without-tees---experiment-1with-hubbys-old-button-down">yesterday's</a></strong> - same base, different topping. I also added bracelets for some color and more structural element (I especially remembered texstyle's comment from yesterday when adding these).</p> <p>Photo taken at the end of the day - I loved the feeling of the fabric getting looser and the creasing.</p> <p>My summary:<br /> - comfort factor: 10/10<br /> - happiness factor: 10/10<br /> - re-wearability factor: 10/10 x 2 (I found the same shirt in deep fuchsia color)</p> <p>Bonus photo: the way I also plan to wear the shirt - with the aubergine color layering top, I like the colors together AND I can wear the same bracelets.</p> <p> Comments and critiques most welcome. </p>
