She always seems to have amazing trenchcoats too... (and by the way, don't you think that our own Janet is a dead ringer for Emily Deschanel?)</p> <p>I think you have a good start here - I would go for a more structured topper instead of the cardi - like a shrunken blazer maybe. I wonder if the effect would be more dramatic as well with a larger necklace, like more of a bib style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-make-my-classic-shirt-look-less-boring#post-622149 Thu, 17 May 2012 15:04:35 +0000 jayne 622149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love Bones! But I think a bigger piece would get the effect you want! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-make-my-classic-shirt-look-less-boring#post-620462 Tue, 15 May 2012 19:02:19 +0000 Victoria 620462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie: I have actually worn this necklace before the way you suggested so I was just trying something different. Thank you for advice though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-make-my-classic-shirt-look-less-boring#post-620459 Tue, 15 May 2012 19:00:02 +0000 Angie 620459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shirt Victoria, and don't think it's boring at all! Nice colour! It's crisp, clean, classic simplicity at it's best. And looks best worn that way to my eye. </p> <p>So leave off the necklace (doesn't quite work over the button down) and dangly earrings. Wear it over your cute black cropped pants with sandals. Add your cuff and ring. Leave off the cardigan and add a cropped jacket if you need the extra layer.</p> <p>Wear the jewelry with a layering tee (and cardigan), or a sweet little dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-make-my-classic-shirt-look-less-boring#post-620457 Tue, 15 May 2012 18:59:42 +0000 Victoria 620457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modgirl: I usually prefer wearing my necklaces inside my collar but this one was too long for that so I improvised </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-make-my-classic-shirt-look-less-boring#post-620454 Tue, 15 May 2012 18:58:11 +0000 rae 620454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the necklace over buttondown and do this sometimes myself with necklaces that are otherwise too long. I used to watch more Bones at the beginning but then got sidetracked with other shows - but it is a really fun show! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-make-my-classic-shirt-look-less-boring#post-620448 Tue, 15 May 2012 18:48:30 +0000 christieanne 620448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love classic with a artsy addition - I think that is the style I am leaning towards myself since boho clothing isn't quite right for me. I will have to start watching Bones for inspirations!</p> <p>Love your necklace - it has a lot of earth tones and pretty shades. Very nice work! the concept works really well for me. I never wear collared shirts with necklace over in that way but it shows off the necklace to an advantage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-make-my-classic-shirt-look-less-boring#post-620443 Tue, 15 May 2012 18:45:42 +0000 modgrl 620443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure about the necklace over the buttondown. You could pop a funky blazer on top, perhaps a cropped one? or you could tuck the top into a patterned pencil skirt, wear it with patterned pants or colored jeans. Also you could wear it with white skinnies and flats or white wide leg jeans and heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trying-to-make-my-classic-shirt-look-less-boring#post-620437 Tue, 15 May 2012 18:39:00 +0000 Victoria 620437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just started watching the show "Bones" , first season, not sure if any of the ladies ever watch it but I like the main character style. I noticed that she always wears simple classic clothes and then adds some sort of "ethnic" jewelry which lot of times involves dramatic neckace. I was sort of trying to do the same thing today and add "artsy" jewelry to my classic button down. Tell me what you think. I made the necklace and earrings myself </p>
