My first button-down (with ruched sleeves!) - keep or return?

So, a slight shopping-ban slip-up...

I'm jumping on the button-down bandwagon. I've never worn one, but this one spoke to me. Keep or return?

Well, you have accomplished what I thought was impossible. I have never seen someone in a ruched sleeve that I liked, until tonight !

When I saw the title of your thread, I thought, oh no - this will be my first not-so-positive post.

Girl, you soooo proved me wrong ! This is pretty darn close to a 10 ( I must not be feeling well or something......) : )

KEEP !

Isabel said it much more cleverly than I could have - when Angie wrote a blog post about ruched sleeves making a comeback I thought hahahahaha - please, no.

But I really love this blouse on you - it looks wonderful. (Oh, and the animal print ballet flats - yum!)

What a great button-up!! I love the feminine sleeves on it! (I too am not typically a ruched fan)

I think it's a keeper for sure.

Kim, Taylor, and Sara -- thanks!

Isabel and Mamapicklejuice - Angie knows what she's talking about! I love the ruched sleeves on this button-down... I feel like it gives a plain button down a younger, more stylish feel. I'm glad you agree!

KILLER. Come on!!! Showing *me* a button down that fits perfectly with a ruched sleeve? You had the K-work coming, Marianna :0). Love the animal flats with the pinstripe. And look at you sporting coral, one of the biggest colours of the season. Hip and fab you are. And looking slimmer for sure. I can see your weight loss!

(Is that shirt from, Macys?)

Good for you MPJ and Isabel! It just goes to show that you have to keep an open fashion mind at all times.

Excellent, Marianna! I also like how the necklace color contrasts with the shirt. Btw, is it pinstriped?

The shirt with the necklace is an amazing combination. Definitely a ten.

I love it Marianna! I like the ruched sleeve look. I definitely intend to get one or two and you're inspiring me to get out there and look. This one really looks great on you.

I particularly like how the sleeves just draw the attention right up to your beautiful face. You are so stylish and pretty!
