Marianne,
I truely love this top!! More important I LOVE each and every way you layered it!! Nice job:)

I think the reason this top works well in this pattern is because it is a bit sheer..very cute!

I love it all ways too, even on its own. Definitely keep.

Not grannyish at all! I love it! It's a lovely pattern and the colours look fantastic on you. I definitely think you can wear it on its own too and I love all three layered outfits as well. You are keeping it!!-)

I like with the sweater and the vest.

I love it. It looks great in all the outfits but i particularly like it with the waistcoat it looks so crisp x

Beautiful design. I LOVE it with the waistcoat. The color looks great with your dark hair.

I love the shirt, and also all the ways you wore it, especially with the vest. Not granny-ish at all.

Btw, where do some of you wise gals get those cute animated avatars?

I think the shirt looks best with the vest or on its own. It seems like a great pattern for you with your hair. No granny look for you. BTW, what brand jeans are those-(If you do not mind me asking) they look GREAT on you!! I have yet to find a pair that really fit, all of mine stretch out eventually no matter how well they fit in the beginning.

Thank you for validation, ladies!

Tanya - I made the avatar here. It can be quite elaborate.

Thank you for the compliment, Jean! The jeans are 7FAMK regular bootcuts. I picked them up at the Rack earlier this summer. They were VERY tight when I bought them but relaxed quite a bit and I am pretty happy with them so far.

Oooh great top Marianne!! Love it with the cardie and vest especially! You must keep!!!

Marianne, your top is beautiful and it's great that you can wear it so many ways! I like the collar on you and the fit is flattering. You look fantastic in your jeans, also!

Definitely keep the top!

Cute top! I love how it looks layered; it's very versatile.

Thank you! Bumping for Angie *sheepishly*.

I love the shirt on you - and I also like that it seems very versatile in that you can wear it with a lot. :-)

I am bumping for you Marianne!

KEEP! Gorgeous! This is a great pattern because it's geometric and black and white - so versatile, as you've shown here.

So funny... I've been lately focusing on adding more solids into my wardrobe... since I have so many patterns... but seeing this, it makes me want more patterns... LOL.

KILLER.

Don't you dare return this blouse, Marianne! You look fantastic. I'm proud of you for trying something new :0)

Thank you all very much! I am keeping it :D
Angie, sorry about my, um, persistence. I just get too anxious about anything new. :(

You are doing great, Marianne! You are breaking through beautifully. Don’t sell yourself short because you have verve :0)

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Love it with the waistcoat and the sweater.

Awesome shirt - in all the combinations. I love how you keep trying new things! Way to go.

Love the shirt! The pattern is lovely! and it goes with everything!
