It's not twee because of the dark background and sophisticated cut.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-these-tops-too-twee-for-me#post-1330168 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 20:14:30 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 1330168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you both for your response. </p> <p>Angie, I had not seen the navy in store...so I bought the black rather by default. I am undecided...having both colors would almost be like duplicating, a the colors are so similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-these-tops-too-twee-for-me#post-1330167 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 20:13:09 +0000 Gigi 1330167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these. Let's face it—some of us just like ruffles! (Me, for instance.)</p> <p>J. Crew has been doing a lot of tops like this, with the cute design (hearts, cats, etc.). They're not very twee IMO because the little design is printed and rotated so as to create an overall textural effect; the little icon isn't the star of the show itself. It's cute patterns for grown-ups. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-these-tops-too-twee-for-me#post-1330122 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 19:03:27 +0000 Angie 1330122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No.&nbsp;Thumbs up. Go right ahead. Fabulous tops.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you prefer navy to black?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-these-tops-too-twee-for-me#post-1330117 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 18:57:11 +0000 Anonymous 1330117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are feminine and whimsical rather than twee, plus you can style them to not look too precious. I love your choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-these-tops-too-twee-for-me#post-1330109 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 18:48:12 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 1330109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a few tops last night at JCrew in a pre-vacation shopping frenzy but in the cold light of day I'm wondering if they are too twee for me.&nbsp; </p> <p><u></u>The <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shirtsandtops/sleeveless/PRDOVR~B1005/B1005.jsp" rel="nofollow">silk sleeveless blouse in heart dot</a> caught my eye as a more sophisticated summer top but presents two difficulties...first, is the print too young, and second, if I have to layer in order to wear this very sheer top, is it really a practical summer top?&nbsp; I do love the high-low hem and tailored details.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shirtsandtops/sleeveless/PRDOVR~A9351/A9351.jsp" rel="nofollow">ruffle top</a> threw me for a loop because it looked quite nice on, but...but...ruffles?!&nbsp; I thought we broke up!&nbsp; Should I pass?&nbsp; Love the color, print and so on...obviously the ruffles are a major detail but they elevate the top above most of my pedestrian sartorial choices.</p> <p>Finally, the <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/knitstees/shortsleevetees/PRDOVR~A8466/A8466.jsp" rel="nofollow">chiffon sleeve tee</a> in black...should I have picked up navy as well, or instead of the black?&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks!&nbsp; </p>
