Yesterday I needed to return some stuff to Nordstrom and ended up coming home with twice as much (whoops!). I was flummoxed in the fitting room about which size of these two tops to choose, if any, so I brought home both sizes of both so I could take pictures and throw myself on the mercy of YLF. In both cases, the smaller size is first.

1-3 show size L of the Halogen sleeveless top; 4-6 are XL. The L is what I'd normally choose through the upper chest; the fit through the hips/butt is snug but not pulling. The XL is looser and too big through the underarms, but that could be altered. Option 3 is of course that this shape doesn't flatter me anyway - is it too much of a tent over the boobs?

7-10 are size L of the sweater; 11-14 are the XL. As you might be able to see from the Finds picture, this sweater is supposed to be oversized and boxy in the torso. I almost think that the bigger size is better because it exaggerates that and makes it look more intentional...?

I'd love to know what you think. Sorry that the pics are not the best, the backlighting from the window makes everything else look dark no matter what settings I use.
