Then I thought about how constricted my elbows feel when the sleeves scrunch up under my pullover....and I did not put the sweater&nbsp;on. &nbsp;I, too, have a real discomfort level.<br />&nbsp;<br />But, you look REALLY good in this style, so I think I'm going to go up and get a pullover and condition myself to be more comfortable in this look!</p> <p>(I also thought about the fact that button-down shirts need to be ironed. &nbsp;And I'm just working at home, so why not a sweatshirt?&nbsp;&nbsp;I overcame that objection!)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380706 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:45:00 +0000 Anonymous 1380706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I think I feel exactly the same as you about button downs and I don't own any, though I have nearly finished sewing a jersey shirt with a small mandarin style collar and&nbsp;I'm hoping the softer fabric feels more 'me'. You do actually look great IMO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380687 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:22:16 +0000 tricia w. 1380687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks fantastic&nbsp;on you, but I understand your feelings on collared shirts, I feel the same way. I love how they look on everyone else, but I never feel like myself when wearing one; it's as if I'm trying to be someone else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380674 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:33:26 +0000 Lynne 1380674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks lovely....perhaps a softer or stretch fabric would feel more authentic? Or perhaps this look is one of those that, to quote Ornella, is a 'just because I can doesn't mean I should' for you?? These colours are divine on you, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380651 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 05:43:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1380651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sympathize--I'm not into collared shirts myself. They just don't feel like me. Of course as soon as I wrote that, I realized there is an exception--silk I can handle, better than crisp fabrics. <br />I think you look great. The necklaces definitely add a feminine look--did that help it feel more like your style?</p> <p>Oh, and yes, you get extra points for trying something way out of your comfort zone!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380639 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 05:07:22 +0000 Neel 1380639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lady-like? :). That's where I fall too ... No frills but no structured pant suits either :)</p> <p>I think you look lovely although you didn't quite feel so. Button down shirts are not necessarily everyone's cup of tea. But a silky fluid button down could be a girly replacement. I find proper shirts restrictive too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380614 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 03:37:06 +0000 Niki Lea 1380614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might be the buttoned up/restricting feel? What I should probably try is a looser, updated fit. The one I have is from BR a couple of years ago and it is pretty close to the body.</p> <p>A ponytail is a good idea. My hair does overwhelm the neckline of this outfit doesn't it? I haven't worn my hair up in ages. That will be my mission this week!</p> <p>I think I'm also realizing that my style preferences are more feminine than I thought they were. Not "girly", but not really masculine either. I don't know what's in between. For whatever reason, the stiff shirt makes me feel like a dude. I don't think it <i>looks</i> that way, I just <i>feel</i> that way. </p> <p>Clearly I need a fashion psychologist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380598 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 02:57:59 +0000 catgirl 1380598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this look beautiful.&nbsp; YOU are beautiful!&nbsp; I would never guess you were feeling out of your comfort zone.<br /> It's out of mine too. &nbsp;I find myself always tugging the hem of the shirt down to smooth out all day which annoys me no end.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380549 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 01:56:14 +0000 Meggie 1380549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! Esp. love the &nbsp;cuff sleeves&nbsp;&nbsp;peeking out! &nbsp;Agrred with above, try a ponytail with this look :)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380474 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 00:08:09 +0000 DonnaF 1380474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great, but maybe your hair gets caught in the collar?&nbsp; If you pull your hair back or put it up, does it make the collared shirt feel more comfortable?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380456 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 23:32:48 +0000 Dee 1380456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off. I think it looks great. Especially with the open collar and the jewelry. That said, I also own only a handful of button down shirts (I think 3-4) that I also rarely wear due to the buttoned up style feeling a little too preppy for me. Also, I always find them extra constricting (mentally as well as physically) when worn under knits, so I end up fussing with them all day even though they look fine. Do you find yourself doing that too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380434 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 22:24:47 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1380434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting that you don't feel this look even though it looks really good on you. &nbsp;Is it the buttoned up feel perhaps? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380426 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 22:07:00 +0000 PalmFronds 1380426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380424 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 22:05:39 +0000 deb 1380424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it. Is it comfortable? (Other than the mental discomfort.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-one-shirt-under-knitwear-sorta#post-1380417 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:51:27 +0000 Niki Lea 1380417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one is so, so, so outside of my comfort zone, ladies! But it's good to shake things up, right? </p> <p>I have just one collared shirt in my closet right now and it's been sitting idle for a long time. So when Angie posted about this combo it seemed like an opportunity to revive an orphaned item.</p> <p>But this outfit made me realize that there's&nbsp;something about my style preferences that I don't understand: I feel weird in collared shirts...there's something super structured about them that makes me feel...not like me. But I can't put my finger on it. They look so fab on everyone else!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
