I need to pay more attention to it indeed. I have an average size bust, but still, it looks like the blouse is drooping on my chest. Can't tell if it's the size of the v, it's aperture, it's depth... but I definitively see it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1897006 Thu, 08 Mar 2018 12:28:22 +0000 anne 1897006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krish, my eye also went to the neckline. I could be importing my own issues on to you (though you have said in the past that our body types are similar) but I find those necklines not great on me - I just don't fill them out enough with my small bust. I want smaller necklines and lapels or collars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896754 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 03:10:04 +0000 krishnidoux 1896754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni</b>, too bad for the dress, but good thing for your DD1 who will love it for sure! My goal is to get my hair long like in the pic again as fast as it will grow. I like it now, but I feel better with it a bit longer. However, you are correct, I should update my picture Good for you to have updated yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896744 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 02:09:07 +0000 Lynn 1896744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you were able to identify the issues with this blouse. Reading everyone's responses was interesting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896743 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 02:04:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 1896743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krish I didn't feel it was quite you but did like it belted. BTW I love your new hair ( may have said before) so you need to change your profile pic which has the old hair. I recently changed mine as I no longer fit the maxi dress I was wearing in it But gave it to 27 y old DD1 who looks amazing in it. She is WAY slimmer than me but it has an elasticated shirred bodice which shrank down nicely to fit her </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896735 Wed, 07 Mar 2018 01:02:13 +0000 krishnidoux 1896735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Unfrumped</b>, yes, right on: I need such a shirt in a <u>better fabric</u>. If this shirt had been made in something just a bit more comforatble than 100% polyester, I would probbly have kept it. Problem is that usually these are more expensive, therefore they don't even land in stores where I go for "just a top". So now I'll keep my eye open for tops in more luxurious places, where I go for bottoms (because I'm so hard to fit).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896714 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 22:12:42 +0000 unfrumped 1896714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it’s not quite right but you can think about the issues that seemed good and keep an eye out for something better.<br /> The colors and contrast are very good with your coloring. Not just graphic black &amp; white but with those mid tones. So something with that dark floral or print but maybe smaller ( but not ditzy)maybe a fabric that feels more luxurious, some edgy details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896605 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 03:51:45 +0000 krishnidoux 1896605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gigi</b>, you are so right. I had to look up the adjective pedestrian and found it means commonplace. Maybe it's the rubber booties I'm wearing it with - I try to purposely dress it down.&nbsp;<br />But... not 100% happy so back it goes. Thank you for sharing your view! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896603 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 03:34:44 +0000 Gigi 1896603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you're sorted. But just in case...</p> <p>I like the belted rendition, but the untucked version seems kind of pedestrian to my eye. The tucked one is middle-of-the-road.</p> <p>I would keep either this printed blouse or the printed skirt. I think that having two large floral prints in your wardrobe might be overkill? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896543 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 21:36:16 +0000 krishnidoux 1896543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>The Cat</b>, yes, exactly. The 2 reasons right there. Now I know to pay attention to these details when I shop in the future. I should straight off the bat refuse to even try on a blouse that would be 100% polyester, because I know I will just freeze in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896541 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 21:33:39 +0000 The Cat 1896541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two possible reasons why you have a feeling that you won't wear it much:<br /> ● Polyester may not be very comfortable.<br /> ● You probably would look and feel better in other necklines than a sharp deep V. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896522 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 20:22:30 +0000 Anonymous 1896522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belted is so much better!

In my experience, every time I was not sure and had to ask, it was a mistake to keep it in the end. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896507 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 19:39:27 +0000 texstyle 1896507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think rachylou hit the "big" part for me, the neckline looks big and the floral as you said is maybe not right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896502 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 19:20:24 +0000 rachylou 1896502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it best belted and tucked. It feels a little too short to me as a tunic. The neckline is not ‘badass’ to me... too wide or something... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896498 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 19:16:16 +0000 Sal 1896498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sold on it - almost but not quite - there will be something else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896474 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:46:36 +0000 krishnidoux 1896474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Joy</b>&nbsp; and <b>Columbine</b>. It's true, the print is not badass. The cut is, however, and you can see it when it's belted, but really, I think that's it: the print. Into the return bag it goes.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896464 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:28:27 +0000 columbine(erin) 1896464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, but maybe the floral is too large scale? There are enough navy and floral options out there, you’ll find one you like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896462 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:19:11 +0000 Anonymous 1896462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your can certainly wear it, but if it does not have the happiness factor, maybe it should go back. The print is maybe not badass. Does it fit with your style objectives? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896461 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:17:37 +0000 krishnidoux 1896461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Texstyle</b>. This helps. The shirt itself is not large, but I think the effect is amplified by the large print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896458 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:08:25 +0000 texstyle 1896458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure it's quite right either - and it looks a bit large for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896456 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:05:59 +0000 krishnidoux 1896456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cardiff girl.</b>.. it might also be the polyester... good points.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896455 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:04:54 +0000 krishnidoux 1896455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>La ped,&nbsp;Mirjana</b>, thank you for your honest opinion.<br /><b>La ped</b>, your questions provide guidance. I didin't think of this piece as central or completer. I thought in terms of tops and bottoms lol! But your hunch is correct, I am more looking for something to wear with navy bottoms rather then something that would play central role. Also, the print might be a bit too big for me.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896453 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:02:26 +0000 Cardiff girl 1896453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks very nice on you.Is it the dark colour ,the pattern or the fact it’s polyester putting you off?As I have said it suits you but obviously your gut is telling you something,the trick is to work out what and see if you can live with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896450 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 16:56:05 +0000 Mirjana 1896450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it , especially tucked #3, I vote keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896449 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 16:54:35 +0000 LaPed 1896449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like this piece ticks a lot of boxes, but the print does not wow me. Maybe this floral isn't quite you? I do really like the look of it belted in #3.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, it might help to decide whether this would be a statement, essential, or completer in your wardrobe. My hunch is that it's a completer -- something to wear over skinnies?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896447 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 16:47:06 +0000 krishnidoux 1896447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kathie</b> I had not thought of that... thank you for your input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896442 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 16:26:42 +0000 Kathie 1896442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I really like looks 1 and 3; they both create flattering proportions. But, perhaps something is off for your eye, in terms of how much waist definition you want? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-printed-blouse#post-1896440 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 16:11:12 +0000 krishnidoux 1896440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this blouse from DR2 for CAN 34$ (including taxes) 100% polyester at Marshalls because I often crave a printed tunic-like shirt when my closet holds very few. Bonus: this one has a navy background, whereas the one or two other ones are black.&nbsp;<br />So the price, the color, and the shape were yesses, so it came home with me.&nbsp;<br />Except now I'm not sure! I'm tempted to return it.&nbsp;<br />Something tells me I won't wear it too much... but I can't pinpoint what.<br />Thank you for helping me!</p>
