That is fine, as the cropped top was bought to be worn on its own, and than I got the ide to try layering it over&nbsp; silk blouse.&nbsp; Sometimes those backfire, and that is fine, I will stick to wearing it the intended way.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1365266 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 12:45:29 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1365266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I love that you tried different lengths for a great visual... I love 3 and 4. &nbsp;I think the shortness and tighter last one really makes you torso look long and not in a flattering way... As for 1/2 I initially liked it before I saw 3/4.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1365236 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 11:38:28 +0000 Lynne 1365236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, Tanya, I love this look on you!&nbsp; The pale neutrals are gorgeous.&nbsp; I'm looking forward to trying this look, and I have a lovely silk blouse with a damaged pocket that will have a new lease of life if I can find the right topper.....watch this space :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363421 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 15:15:49 +0000 annagybe 1363421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 1/2 and 3/4. With a slight edge to #4.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363359 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:17:21 +0000 Diana 1363359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to defend 5/6! I think I like I precisely *because* it highlights your long torso, which I think is terribly elegant.and yes, this is definitely a case of shirt-torso me wanting what I can't have, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363354 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:12:51 +0000 Ornella 1363354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looove #1, love #2, not excited by #3. But I see Angie has chimed in already </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363352 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:09:20 +0000 Angie 1363352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last version is also my least favourite Tanya, but it's not a failed look at all.&nbsp;&nbsp;It looks the most disproportionate to my eye because your torso length is exaggerated. An <b>oversized </b>crop top would offset the length of the torso. It's the fitted silhouette that is causing the extra torso length. Hope that makes sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363270 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 11:42:50 +0000 Tanya 1363270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much for your replies!<br /> Interesting that different canners prefer different looks, so I guess they can all pass.<br /> I see that the last version is the least favorite one, I am wondering what could be improved: is the lengths of the crop shell and blouse or the fact that the top/shell is very fitted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363223 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 07:53:40 +0000 bella 1363223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a quintessential Tanya look in my book, you wear it so well! I like the second outfit&nbsp;best I think because the roomy fit looks a tiny bit more contemporary.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363200 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 05:51:11 +0000 catgirl 1363200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these, of course. </p> <p>I think the best layering combo is long under cropped under mid-length, which is why #2 works so well.&nbsp;It keeps the layers staggered instead of looking "stepped", if that makes sense.</p> <p>&nbsp;#4, which is long under less cropped under more cropped, doesn't have the same pleasing effect to my eye, as it's progressively staggered layers.&nbsp; But it's Angie's favorite, so I'm probably messed up!</p> <p>Thanks for posting.&nbsp; I appreciate the effort you put into these posts, which helps me learn vicariously!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363197 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 05:41:19 +0000 Angie 1363197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 3/4 best because the proportions work really well on your extra long torso to my eye. Gorgeously killer black and white outfit. </p> <p>I like 1/2 next.

Something about all those different textures and layers looks fab to me. Also love the black &amp; white rendition. Last version is great too - it emphasizes your tiny waist &nbsp;You do this vest/shirt thing really well!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363116 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 03:27:58 +0000 Zibbets 1363116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! I love the verticals on 3/4…and I think I prefer the longer shell, so between Diana and me, you can't go wrong!</p> <p>You have great layering pieces and a lovely, mellow palette. All of these are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363103 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 03:04:14 +0000 Diana 1363103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock this look, Tanya! &nbsp;I think I prefer it with a more cropped shell, so that more of the bottom of the shirt is showing (so I prefer 1/2 and 5/6, and would like the shell in 3/4 to be a little shorter). &nbsp;The proportions seem more pleasing that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-shirt-and-shell-top-outfit-lab#post-1363091 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 02:54:09 +0000 Tanya 1363091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved Angie's Monday post on layering a shell type top over a shirt/blouse, and promptly put it into practice the next three days.&nbsp; The outfits are similar: shell top + shirt/blouse +topper, skinnies and flat shoes.&nbsp; However, the colors and proportions are different and I would be very curious to hear what you think works and what doesn't.&nbsp; I am hoping to wear this a lot this fall and would like to fine tune in the beginning.&nbsp; All the comments are welcome!</p> <p>#1/2: Tuesday 9/23 -&nbsp; a version in taupe and cream.&nbsp; Layered a chunky cream knit shell over Equipment silk kitty shirt.<br />#3/4: Wednesday 9/24 - high contrast black and white with red moto.&nbsp; Layered a longer and looser ponte/pleather shell over loose high-low cotton shirt.&nbsp; Also tried black ankle pants with black booties int he same outfit.<br />#5/6: Thursday 9/25 - soft pastel shades. Layered a cropped woven tweed shell over silk blush blouse.&nbsp; It was rainy today so the topper was an old trench. </p>
