I've collected a few of the choices here (almost all come in other colors too):<br />(the last two are just random from my Finds, not from those stores). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shop-tops-pretty-please#post-1549604 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:34:46 +0000 abc 1549604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory, I tend to love bright cool colors. &nbsp;No warm tones. &nbsp;My coloring is similar to Suz if that helps.</p> <p>If I had to pick I would say hot pink and turquoise would be the brights I wear most often.</p> <p>In terms of toppers, I have a navy blazer now, and just added a white moto.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shop-tops-pretty-please#post-1549602 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:31:21 +0000 Glory 1549602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have some colors that you like to work with? also any special fabrications?<br />I have so many tops in my closet and next to no bottoms.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shop-tops-pretty-please#post-1549588 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:21:07 +0000 abc 1549588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks AG. &nbsp;This could work for me. &nbsp;I will go check your finds, too.</p> <p>Appreciate the response.</p> <p>I think what I struggle with most is the set-in shoulder. &nbsp;SO many tops nowadays have dropped shoulders and I look horrific with that cut. &nbsp;I guess I have sloping shoulders so that cut does absolutely no-thing for me.</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shop-tops-pretty-please#post-1549587 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:19:48 +0000 catgirl 1549587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can offer up this shirt, which I own. It's easy fit and easy care. Runs a little big. It's not the most cutting edge item but it works and doesn't complain. </p> <p>There is a dearth of tops in my finds because I struggle so much with them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shop-tops-pretty-please#post-1549562 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 14:57:53 +0000 abc 1549562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find myself going to the closet and still not finding things I want to wear. &nbsp;I think most of the issue is in the top area now. &nbsp;I have several pairs of new jeans that are working well, and I also have a couple good toppers. &nbsp;What's missing in the equation are tops.</p> <p>What I've discovered is that I DO like the fluid fit of tops (how behind am I, haha) - but within MY requirements:</p> <ul> <li>Fluid fit (no old school tight around the abdomen t-shirt cuts)</li> <li><b>MUST MUST MUST have a set in shoulder</b></li> <li>NO dropped shoulders</li> <li>Usually batwing tops don't work on me (not sure why)</li> <li>At least a short sleeve but elbow or longer is preferred</li> <li>Would like the ability to add a blazer or vest over the top</li> </ul> I have a couple grey shirts that fit this bill. &nbsp;I would like to add some more in varying colors - both neutrals and brights. &nbsp;</p> <p>Can anyone help me?? &nbsp;</p> <p>I am usually sized out of some retailers (Club Monaco, Massimo Duitti, some Zara, F21, Madewell, etc) unless the cut is really generous.</p> <p>Retailers that usually get me are: GAP, BR, WHBM, Nordstrom, Macy's INC, some Talbots, some Chicos.</p> <p>Anybody find tops like this lately and care to share?</p> <p>THANK YOU!!!</p> <p> </p>
