I hope you keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035901 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 13:38:42 +0000 Bijou 2035901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this top on you, it fits beautifully. I work in a conservative office and for any top where I am concerned that it could gape, wearing a camisole is an easy solution. I don't think it is necessary at all with this top, but just something to keep in mind if you have any tops that you are concerned about. It will be lots of fun to see you build your working wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035889 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 12:46:04 +0000 Peri 2035889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Gigi...fellow piano teacher!</p> <p>I'm private, all ages, and I do take care around my teenagers. I don't see anything wrong with that top or the fit. It looks great on you. I'm sure you wouldn't be wearing it at all if the shoulders felt restrictive (big no for me where piano is concerned), so go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035856 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 09:05:57 +0000 Gigi 2035856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the help, everyone! I haven't worked outside the home for several years, and I've kind of forgotten what's appropriate and what's not. I started developing my personal style when I was working at home, so now I am trying to add a work capsule...which is fun because I get to choose pieces that feel like "me" instead of the bland stuff I would have chosen before finding YLF. I'm always so grateful for this forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035762 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 18:33:08 +0000 rachylou 2035762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I suspected: It fits you wayyyy better than the model. Looks fine for teaching piano to little kids. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035761 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 18:27:16 +0000 nemosmom 2035761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree it looks like it fits you better than the model. It doesn't look inappropriate for your work; it's nothing that some garment tape can't handle if it feels like your bra is peeking out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035744 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 16:38:50 +0000 Anonymous 2035744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's adorable and it looks really great on you. While the style is actually conservative, and it's true that you're not showing anything obviously questionable like deep cleavage, it might not be your best choice for a regular lesson. It just seems like a lot of exposed skin for a professional setting, especially sitting next to a child on a piano bench.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035732 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 15:45:52 +0000 Bennett 2035732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really DOES fit you better than the model's photo. Any skin that shows is nothing inappropriate, just put a nice beaded necklace on to distract&nbsp;<br />people who might be overly judgy in your professional life? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035709 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 14:49:00 +0000 Angie 2035709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear it MUCH better than the model, <b>Gigi. </b>Do the sit-down test, and if you&nbsp;don't&nbsp;gape - wear and enjoy. I see nothing inappropriate.&nbsp;<b></b><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035663 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 11:17:35 +0000 Kathie 2035663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute, and looks great on you! How do you feel in it? And, does it move with you the right way, when you’re teaching? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035656 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 10:21:59 +0000 Sal 2035656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It suits you and fits really well.

I don’t see anything inappropriate here, so go on and wear the heck out of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035541 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 20:30:30 +0000 Sal 2035541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the top and it could work. Definitely worth a try!!</p> <p>I see it as work appropriate but maybe tricky to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035531 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 18:11:53 +0000 bj1111 2035531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how do you feel in it...that's the key question as your comfort/discomfort is what would make it appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035477 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 14:38:11 +0000 Angie 2035477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely, if it fits well and modestly. Cute top. I bet it will look smashing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035433 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 12:52:06 +0000 Janet 2035433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the other comments — especially since you work in a more creative capacity than an office worker. But it seems a little bit flirty, which makes me pause. Fit is a critical component here. This looks like the kind of top that has constant visible bra strap issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035432 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 12:42:40 +0000 Jules 2035432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute top. In general, a parent my kids’ music teachers would get an ‘artsy exemption’ I might not give their classroom teachers But appropriateness really depends how it fits you. It looks like it’s meant not to show cleavage in which case I think it’s fine for an hour of piano class. However it does read more as festival or picnic wear overall, so if you’re specifically looking for work wear I don’t know that this is perfect for that use.<br /> Would love to see it on you just because I think it’s super cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035429 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 12:35:24 +0000 Anonymous 2035429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing that it depends on the fit-bit cute top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035400 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 10:33:29 +0000 Lucy 2035400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute top ! Really nice .<br /> I think on the model it would be fine . I’m busty, so on me it would look a bit Victorian corset cleavage ! Which is a look I quite like , but not for work ... I think you would only know by trying ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035393 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 09:12:27 +0000 Bennett 2035393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it depends on how it fits YOUR body. On the model it shows no cleavage, just chest and back skin; sort of the same look as a cami but with sleeves. If it shows off too much when bending over I would save for outside of work. It is pretty and feminine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035390 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 06:51:27 +0000 Cardiff girl 2035390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I agree with Rachylou,the fit is crucial,you don’t want too much on display at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035382 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 06:30:11 +0000 rachylou 2035382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ostensibly it looks ok to me, but I think it depends on how it actually fits you. On the model here, it looks too big to me, like it’s gonna fall off, which wouldn’t be ok in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-suitable-for-work#post-2035373 Fri, 14 Jun 2019 05:33:25 +0000 Gigi 2035373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this top on Anthro and was wondering whether people think it would be appropriate for work. Do you think that it is too low cut in the front and back? I teach piano to elementary school kids, in case that matters.</p> <p>ETA: Since so many of you commented that the fit was crucial, I added a couple of pics of my wearing the top. Please excuse the bad quality. I have a $40 TracFone, lol. This is as good as it gets!</p>
