I always think throwing on a scarf somehow magically elevates an outfit, even something very casual. &nbsp;It also provides the 'volume' you are seeking.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sharon, I wear scarves like this in the heat, particularly outdoors as I like to protect that part of my skin from the sun and scarves are a practical and stylish way to do that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072869 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 08:37:44 +0000 Ornella 1072869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firstly, I love your new profile picture - that colour looks divine. I'll check it on your blog, but I wish you posted it here too, it is <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfits-worth-posting">well worth posting</a></b>&nbsp;:-)</p> <p>The linen top looks great and perfect for experimenting with fluid fit styling. By all means hang on to it, the colour looks fantastic with your hair.&nbsp;Did you try it semi-tucked? It could give more options with interesting belts.</p> <p>The scarf does its work and serves your goal perfectly. To extend wearing the top further into the summer if heat is the issue, how about&nbsp;wearing (any) scarf just thrown around the neck with the ends left hanging down? You would have some volume and with the exposed belt there would be a lot of&nbsp;visual interest&nbsp;that way too.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072834 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 04:57:11 +0000 Lantana 1072834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's AOK for casual, no worries. I love your accessorizing here with the scarf, sunnies and scarf.<br /> I had a quick peek at your blog again Sharon and must congratulate you. Impressive! Jabots, ruching and twist fronts are giving you the volume you are seeking. I hope you can find-or have made- some tees with the same front detailing as your sheath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072828 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 04:50:10 +0000 catgirl 1072828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice and fluid, just in time for the trend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072826 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 04:48:58 +0000 DonnaF 1072826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great, esp. w/the scarf.&nbsp; I'm not so sure it would look as nice in the *correct* size so to speak.&nbsp; Since it doesn't have set-in shoulders, the sizing is ambiguous.&nbsp; <i></i>I will have to try a linen knit sometime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072783 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 03:52:17 +0000 Anonymous 1072783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tee looks current like those oversized ones that Angie blogged about.<br /> The color is beautiful on you. You could semi-tuck it for more structure.<br /> I wanted to be able to wear a too big linen tee after weight loss and shrunk it a bit by machine washing and putting it in the dryer with low heat until it was the size I wanted. The linen got more crinkly but it looks fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072775 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 03:44:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 1072775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too - slouchy, relaxed chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072573 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:56:15 +0000 Janet 1072573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it on you for casual wear. Slouchy but not overwhelming -- the drape makes it work.</p> <p>I always wish I could tolerate a scarf in the heat, but I end up ripping it off, as Suz says. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072572 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:55:09 +0000 Sharon 1072572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ceit. I am trying to salvage what I can of my old wardrobe.<br />Suz, I do have some concerns about that. At the moment the temperatures are under 30 degrees and this is a very light scarf so it is not a problem, but things are going to get much hotter here, and I don't think I would feel OK wearing this top without something over the front to add volume. Maybe this will have to be a trans-seasonal look. </p> <p>ETA: PS Suz, I have changed my profile picture to the top from the other day. It is on my blog if you want to see the whole outfit. I thought it might be a bit tedious to post yet another WIW with my white skirt! :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebreastlessyears.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.thebreastlessyears.blogspot.com</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072564 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:46:57 +0000 Suz 1072564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Linen knits are brilliant, aren't they? I love them in the heat. And this works to my eye. I love the scarf with it. Boho chic!&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you find the scarf okay to wear in the heat? That is always my issue. I know that some are lovely and lightweight, but I still get an urge to claw it off my neck when it gets really warm, you know? But it may just be a personal tick. The other side of the coin is that if you are moving from heat to air conditioning, a scarf can be an absolutely brilliant accessory!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072560 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:44:18 +0000 Anonymous 1072560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is great -- it's not too large on you, and looks nice and fluid. Perfect to use the scarf for volume and texture. Great outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recycling-the-old#post-1072557 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:42:42 +0000 Sharon 1072557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this T-shirt last summer and it pre-dates both my weight loss and my surgery, so it is a few sizes&nbsp;too big for me. However, it is a drapey style and a&nbsp;linen knit and is therefore so cool and comfortable that I was reluctant to let it go. T-shirts are not the most flattering style for me, but I figure the scarf covers a multitude of sins!<br />What do you think? OK for casual, or do I need to bite the bullet and re-buy in the correct size? </p>
