AJ's closet clean-out: Part II

3) On the fence about this one! I really love the idea, and it fits you very well. There's just something about the pattern.... it is drawing my eye directly to your crotch. Not sure this is what you want?

4) Does it have a band at the bottom? How does it look with a cardigan or jacket over it?

OK, here goes:

The green is definitely your color. What happens if you belt the top? I love the color on you and you can wear the sleeves with that detail (as opposed to some of us looking like linebackers when we add width to our shoulders). I'm not sure about the length. Is it alterable to be a shorter top? I'd keep it, but consider wearing it differently than you've pictured it here...8

The cropped cardi doesn't hang right on you, it hides your figure. The color is nice, but you can do better...6

The tye-died shirt is a good color on you, but I'm personally not a fan of that look. It is flattering to your figure. I think if it only had the pattern on the sleeves or something...I don't know...7

I think the floral top is alright but it seems a little overwhelming on its own. What do you think? I'd give it a 7.5.

Edit: after reading Shiny's comments, I agree to maybe try the floral shirt under a jacket or cardigan.

I like the green top, I think the color is beautiful on you. I am not a big fan of the pink cardi and and tie-dye shirt. The flowered shirt would be a nice layering piece, like Shiny suggests.

The green top is great! Lovely colour, nice fit. On the fence about the pink cardi... perhaps if you always kept everything else basic and streamlined like you do here, but still not the most flattering. The tie-dye shirt fits you well, but doesn't seem to flatter. It's an odd top. And the floral shirt isn't the greatest, I don't think.

Thanks, everyone. I really like the green top and want to put together a couple of good outfits with it. The more I thought about the pink cardigan, the more I knew it was too boxy so it's already in the donation box.

My mom gave me the tie-dye shirt and I've always been ambivalent about it. I couldn't decide if it was chic funky or just funky.

The floral print top was an inexpensive purchase so I'm not attached to it. I thought there might be a way to make it work as a layering piece.

AJ:

I think the ladies are all making great comments. My observation is a bit more general, though. Have you lost weight, maybe, because many of your things seem a little bit large to me and kind of hide your shape? From what I can see of your shape, there is nothing that you should be hiding. You appear long, lean, and model thin. Would love to see you in something more fitted on top.

Actually, I have lost weight recently so quite a lot of my clothes are now too big. I've been hoping that some of these pieces would still work. It's gets pricey to replace an entire wardrobe. I'm also trying to be comfortable wearing more fitted clothes. And thanks for noticing!

More lovely aj smiles! Quite the boho girl! You are SO statuesque. Here’s my 2 cents:

1. The green top is a fab colour, but it clings over your jeans. It’s the nature of that fabric.

2. Bye bye pink cardi

3. Tie-dye top is fine for super casual. Nice fit!

4. Colours are not your best. You can do much better.
