New purchases - keep or return?

Violet

I had some time to kill between running errands the other day so I decided to pop into Marshalls. I haven't been there in years, so I wasn't sure what I would find. I ended up getting a few different tops. Let me know what you think I should keep or return. Thanks!

Shirt #1
Sleeveless, v-neck print stop from Max Studio. I would probably wear this with black pants or a skirt and most likely with a cardi.

Shirt #2
Same as above, different print.

Shirt #3
Not sure of the brand on this, but I found it in the petite section. Again, this is something I would wear for work.

Shirt #4
Orange v-neck sweater. I like the color, but wasn't sure about the fit.

I like #1, #2 and #4 VERY MUCH!

#3 I would say pass because it makes you look bigger than you are but I am SOOOO new at this. You will get a lot better reviews than mine.

I agree with HL. 1,2, and 4 are really nice. I especially like the pattern on 1. But 3 isn't very flattering. I think it's the straight line that's created down the front that's causing problems. Though it has a little belt, it doesn't really cinch. So you loose your waist.

I agree with the girls so far.

The only one I did not care for was the third shirt. It had an Old Lady vibe to it...and it made you look wide--and you are not wide.

My favorite was the orange sweater.

I preferred the first MS blouse to the second one--if you are only planning on keeping one.

I like the fit of the first two and if you're only keeping one, I slightly prefer the second pattern to the first one (but that's only a matter of taste). I really like the orange sweater on you. The color looks great. I didn't really care for the third blouse.

Edit: Nicole, I just read you preferred the first pattern Shows how it's all a matter of personal preference!

I love the first two tops and the orange sweater. Very flattering! I do not like the third top for some reason.

I agree with everyone else -- the first two tops are lovely and show off your waist. The orange sweater also highlights you waist and looks like a great color. The third top doesn't flatter your figure.

I like the first two tops - especially the first one. Love, Love, Love the orange top! I actually saw it at Marshalls (there is one near my house so I go there fairly often) in black but stopped myself from getting it since my closet is overflowing in black. The orange looks great with your skin color and really accentuates your figure. Great find!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! It is much appreciated. I thought something seemed a bit off with shirt #3, so that one will definitely go back.

I'm so glad I decided to stop into Marshalls The first two tops were only 10 bucks each! I'm a total bargain hunter and I love finding a great deal.

I agree with the gals--not a fan of #3. The first one is my favorite!

Speaking of discount places--I was in TJ Maxx this evening, and they have some good stuff. I was really surprised. There were things in there that I've seen on Bluefly. Congrats on the great bargains!
