The contrasting stripes are beautiful. And I also love it with the jacket layered over.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shirt-and-shell-ensemble-with-stripey-pattern-mix#post-1368793 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 23:14:14 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1368793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I think this is my favorite of the layered vest over shirt looks. &nbsp;I really like the way the opposing stripes play. &nbsp;The metallic shoes work really well too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shirt-and-shell-ensemble-with-stripey-pattern-mix#post-1368787 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 22:46:02 +0000 Aida 1368787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh stripe direction mix! Subtle but quirky. Really like the metallic oxfords with this. It took me some getting used to with the buttoned-to-the-top thing, and I've found that certain tops of mine feel better with it than others. It does look cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shirt-and-shell-ensemble-with-stripey-pattern-mix#post-1368786 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 22:42:50 +0000 Caro in Oz 1368786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the textures too - YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shirt-and-shell-ensemble-with-stripey-pattern-mix#post-1368748 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 21:44:53 +0000 Janet 1368748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I really like this -- nice textures and subtle stripes adding interest to a neutral outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shirt-and-shell-ensemble-with-stripey-pattern-mix#post-1368677 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 19:40:27 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1368677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! The stripe mix is fab, and is the shell fingering weight? Nice. </p> <p>Also want to make a special nod to the grown-on sleeve, which really works with your outfit here. I have been surprised to find I like them too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shirt-and-shell-ensemble-with-stripey-pattern-mix#post-1368674 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 19:30:21 +0000 Anonymous 1368674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree! &nbsp;Really , really nice - and the dual-direction stripes are a nice extra.

The moto and oxfords complete the outfit really nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shirt-and-shell-ensemble-with-stripey-pattern-mix#post-1368611 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 17:55:57 +0000 Anonymous 1368611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like the two-way striped effect too!

I really like the horizontal and vertical stripes together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shirt-and-shell-ensemble-with-stripey-pattern-mix#post-1368595 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 17:32:17 +0000 Diana 1368595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was happy to see today's ensemble because it made choosing an outfit this morning easy!&nbsp; There's a bit of subtle pattern mixing going on with my pinstripe silk blouse under a handknit striped shell.&nbsp; I like the effect of the vertical and horizontal stripes together!&nbsp; The "sleeves" on the shell are grown on sleeves, and not real separate sleeves, so I'm classifying it as a shell.&nbsp; I paired the tops with my distressed long BF jeans and flat oxfords (I needed flats after yesterday's unexpectedly long day in heels left my feet feeling rather tired) for a tomboyish look.&nbsp; As a topper, I chose my Spiegel lemming jacket to continue the tomboy effect.&nbsp; (I briefly considered my turquoise moto but thought the girly color ruined the integrity of the outfit.)</p> <p>By the way, I was experimenting with buttoning my shirt up almost all the way (not the very top button on the collar though, as my neck is just too short for that) here, and I actually like the look but have to admit that after 5 minutes I had to unbutton the top button because I felt like I was being choked!&nbsp; </p> <p>Joe Fresh blouse, handknit shell, Gap jeans, Born oxfords, Spiegel jacket, and Longchamp bag.</p>
