But I hear you; I am tired of the heat, too! Where is our leather jacket weather?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706231 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 14:33:51 +0000 texstyle 706231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others - nothing boring at all - I love the pattern mixing you've done here, perfect! You could certainly try white pants as another option but I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706202 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 14:03:34 +0000 JR 706202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the neutral colour palette is great. I do love colour, but variety is the spice of life. It's like a break from hot, sunny weather - it goes down really well sometimes. And you've pulled it off very well.</p> <p>If the cami is built-in and invariable, the other possibility to prevent "grinning" would be to wear this top over light-coloured bottoms, if you have any. It's not that this outfit is bad, not at all, but it's an 8 or 9 as opposed to a 10, because of that issue. You still look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706199 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 13:59:23 +0000 nancylee 706199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm Team Neutral and I LOVE this look! Perfection. You could wear this anywhere and look sophisticated and appropriate. </p> <p>I might have to copy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706154 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:55:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 706154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think with this one April the cami stitched to the flounce part of the blouse would make it too heavy and not "floaty" enough, if that makes any sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706150 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:53:58 +0000 April 706150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I have one like that too. A non-removable cami stitched to a crocheted top, but the cami is a lot shorter than the top. </p> <p>Not sure why manufacturers do that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706148 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:53:29 +0000 Anonymous 706148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I see it now -- I think it is part of the look then </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706138 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:43:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 706138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies - FYI this top has a sewn in "under shirt" similar to a cami but sticked to the elastic waistband, side seams, shoulders and neckline so I'm not able to pull it down or anything. The "flounce" part of the blouse is the only part that does not have the under shirt attached. The only way to completely prevent the grinning would be to add another cami under this blouse and that would just be too hot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706133 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:32:09 +0000 jen 706133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tick </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706120 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:54:08 +0000 Anonymous 706120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have 23C too -- although 12C right now, as I rode in this morning there was frost smoke on the river :)</p> <p>I love the sheer top over a more fitted bottom. I think too that the way the top folds it shows a line across your lower waist, but I don't know how you would fix that. Does the top have an elastic waistband that blouses over? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706119 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:39:57 +0000 April 706119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As captain of Team Neutrals, I will say -- not boring at all. Color is merely one way to create interest, not the only way. Well done you!</p> <p>I like Sveta's suggestion too: better to have a little bit of cami showing below the top than to have pants showing beneath the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706118 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:39:03 +0000 Anonymous 706118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706116 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:32:16 +0000 Sveta 706116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, this outfit is anything but boring! Good grief, it is perfect!<br /> The only thing I would change is to have the cami on top of the clams to prevent the "grinning".<br /> We have 24C today - a welcome break for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neutrals-flats#post-706113 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:25:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 706113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's going to be super hot again today - I don't know about you, but I'm now tired of the heat.</p> <p>Anyway on to the outfit: I started out with my black clams and then added my navy/cream polka dot dolman sleeve waistband blouse. Because the outfit has a lack of colour, I wanted to make it still visually interesting with pattern and texture so am using the snakeskin handbag again and my black/cream quilted leather flats. For jewelry, I've popped on my gold mesh cuff.</p> <p>Does this work? Do the textures and pattern mixing make the outfit interesting or is the lack of colour just boring? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Blouse: Winner's<br /> Clams: Reitmans<br /> Shoes: Shelly London (thrifted)<br /> Handbag: Elliot Lucca<br /> Cuff: Michael Kors </p>
