Like everything except the mustard top...with the skirt color as shown, it is unflattering to your coloring and I would not wear it with that skirt if you decide to keep it. My 2 cents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-301398 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 16:43:44 +0000 lynne 301398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Kate, "teaching appropriate" was always one of my problems with many Anthro tops. It helped me save money, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-301233 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 08:43:57 +0000 Aunty 301233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great colours on you. Keep!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-301193 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 04:47:30 +0000 Kate 301193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A quick update: I realized that if I keep these tops they will be the two most expensive tops I own (mustard is $30, brown is $40, both on sale) because I always buy my tops for super cheap - my next most expensive tops are $16 and $15!!! On the one hand I'm feeling some anxiety about this, especially since the brown top will definitely be pants only, but on the other hand I want to move towards a collection of tops that is smaller, more stylish, and where they are all worn more frequently. This is the first step. </p> <p>But I still haven't cut the tag on the brown top. I think I need to spend some time seeing which of my cardis and jackets work over it and determine just how much use I can get out of it, and if it can be tamed into being teaching appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-301133 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 02:59:08 +0000 catgirl 301133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love the mustard top, and I like it both tucked and untucked! And the j crew cardi, and the first cardi too. I'm not loving the brown top as much as the mustard - I prefer the neckline on the mustard top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-301075 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 00:14:36 +0000 Queen Mum 301075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this haul much better than the Loft one. I like the last 2 tops, but not tucked. I think they need to be worn with pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-301013 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 21:05:10 +0000 Jenava 301013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all, especially the purple sweater, the scarf and the red cardi. The tops are also nice. I like the first one more than the second. The second (brown) seems a bit awkward both tucked and untucked, but the mustard one is adorable both ways! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-301007 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 20:17:04 +0000 taylor 301007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT haul!! Love getting new clothes!! you look great!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300881 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 16:43:05 +0000 Angie 300881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything too, Kate. Great stash! Just not wild about the tucked empire tops. They look best over bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300876 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 16:37:55 +0000 Kate 300876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha, Lynne, I have such mixed feelings about Anthropologie. As a sociology grad student I have issues with the name plus it's painful to see how many items they have in colors I love but styles that I don't. And the prices are high! </p> <p>So I went straight to the sale area. I didn't even let myself glance at anything that wasn't in the sale room, I just took what interested me and was on sale, tried it on, and went straight to the checkout. Even a lot of the marked down tops were $50! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300859 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 16:07:56 +0000 lynne 300859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both Anthropologie tops, but prefer the brown one untucked. I've been avoiding Anthropologie just because I end up spending so much money there, but now I'm getting the itch again. I shouldn't have looked. ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300819 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 14:14:00 +0000 rae 300819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>brick cardi- LOVE. Please keep. </p> <p>mustard top- Just okay to me. I like it better tucked, but I don't know about a 10. </p> <p>brown sleeveless top- Definitely a 10 untucked. Tucked, I don't like it with this skirt... but do you have a higher-waisted skirt that would cover the second horizontal seam? Right now that seam is competing with the waistband, and that seems a dead giveaway that the top isn't meant to be worn tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300812 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 13:14:30 +0000 crwilson 300812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the cardi and the brown top untucked. I love the color of the mustard top on you, but I don't love the way it looks tucked or untucked. As others have mentioned, you could play around with the styling for the brown top in terms of tucking, but I hope that you keep it regardless because it looks so fabulous untucked. </p> <p>I love the items that can't be returned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300795 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 07:48:47 +0000 CocoLion 300795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the brick J Crew top, that one's a 10 on you.</p> <p>The mustard top is a 5, it works well tucked into the skirt but not so much untucked.</p> <p>The brown top is very cute untucked but not so much tucked. I would give it a 7. I would keep it though because it really makes your shoulders look good.</p> <p>I think the 1st AT sweater is a 10 in terms of fit, the color doesn't come through on my computer. I like the scarf too.</p> <p>Hope that helps. Now to see what the others thought.<br /> Denise </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300756 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 04:52:53 +0000 Jonesy 300756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything, but don't know about tucking in the brown top...though maybe if you wear a jacket over it all of the seaming won't scream "I'm a loose tunic with interesting detail that likes to run freee and not be tucked!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300733 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 03:09:55 +0000 elpgal 300733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the J. Crew cardi. It looks a lot like the military button-downs, so it can do double duty. Also love the Anthro top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300730 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 03:04:01 +0000 Kate 300730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, try H&amp;M! It was $13. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300696 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 02:14:45 +0000 lyn* 300696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Man, I love that mustard top on you in #5 ... And I am very jealous of your circular infinity scarf! I have been looking for one for forever!</p> <p>I am not a fan of the brown top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300694 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 02:12:04 +0000 celia 300694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really did find your colors :)<br /> Mustard top is a 10 no doubt<br /> brown top, unless you add a belt on top of the skirt I really dont like to see the lines of the top showing of (but I think this is a personal opinion), But love the top, with pants also a 10<br /> the cardigan I love the color on you but I'm not very sure about the fit, will leave that to others.<br /> And, of course, your already keeps are 10's </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-starring-anthro-and-jcrew-hm-and-at#post-300689 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 02:04:19 +0000 Kate 300689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I returned all of my limited purchases except the skirt that fit right (see <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-the-limited-earth-tones" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....arth-tones</a>) and decided to check out the prez weekend sales and see what else I can cross off my list. </p> <p>First, the definite keepers:</p> <p>1: I bought this AT cardi on final sale for $15 (down from about $80). I love how the purple/plum makes my eyes pop, and I can't return it, so if you don't like it then tough! :P</p> <p>2: H&amp;M infinity scarf. I've been looking for one in this color and I think it will be a major workhorse. It's synthetic, so it should be usable in more seasons than if it were wool. I already cut the tag, so hopefully you like this one too.</p> <p>And the keep or returns:</p> <p>3+4: JCrew brick cardi (<a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/sweaters/cardigans/PRDOVR~35750/35750.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../35750.jsp</a>) The picture online makes the pockets look awful, but when I saw it in person I liked it. It's roughly the same color as the limited cardi I returned, and I think this one is better all around.</p> <p>5-8: Anthropologie mustard top - I love the color and the sleeve length, and I think it works with both pants and tucked into a high waist skirt.</p> <p>9-13: Anthroplogie brown top - I LOVE the neckline on me. I like the texture too (the flowy part is alternating knit and woven fabrics). I want to make sure that the seaming works with a high waist skirt. Looking at the pictures I think I can get away with it... but let me know if I'm wrong.</p> <p>Everything needs to be a 10 to keep (except the plum cardi and scarf, which can't be returned). All feedback is welcome!!! Thanks!</p> <p>PS A lot of the items I had on my amazon wishlist weren't perfect for me, and some are staying on the list but are only worth buying on deep sale. So my wish/watch list is down to just 5 items! </p>
