I will see if I can try on the green blouse in a 2, but I'm not sure how much more I can size down since the shirt is a pullover (no buttons) so it's harder to get in and out of. The cobalt top is going to go back, and I'm still debating about the skirt since I have a couple other black skirts already. And that black &amp; white top does cling a bit to my tummy so I think that one may be out too.</p> <p>I decided to return the KS bag as well and hold out for the perfect bag...this one's color is a little too light for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-returns-hm-kate-spade-anthro#post-419349 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:05:12 +0000 Marley 419349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the first blouse looks too big on you - but I love the combination of the blouse with that skirt. Have you tried sizing down on the blouse?<br /> The second blouse is a gorgeous color, but looks like it is too boxy - it definitely reminds me of something in the 80's - I return that one.<br /> I love the skirts on you! Very flattering - I'd keep them.<br /> I also like the coral blouse - cute style and the color looks like a good one for you skin tone.<br /> I LOVE the ruched top with the Paige jeans. I think the top highlights your curves in a very complimentary way - and the jeans are definitely a WOW!<br /> I also like the K.S. bag - but if you are not really in love with it, I'd return it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-returns-hm-kate-spade-anthro#post-419342 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:56:15 +0000 Scarlet 419342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to comment on the bag--it's gorgeous, but it sounds like you have reservations. When it comes to bags I always listen to my heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-returns-hm-kate-spade-anthro#post-419329 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:46:06 +0000 bella 419329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great haul! I love your new jeans, printed pencil skirt, coral top and bag. I think you could size down in both blouses, they both look very roomy to me. I like the pencil skirt but I think you should experiment with other things in your closet to see if you can come up with some contemporary outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-returns-hm-kate-spade-anthro#post-419327 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:40:56 +0000 rae 419327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great haul!! Faves are 5, 7, and 12 - and of course the YUMMY KS bag. The only nay vote is the blue top... it looks a little like a man's pajama top to me. Maybe sizing down would help in this regard? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-returns-hm-kate-spade-anthro#post-419326 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:38:50 +0000 Scarlet 419326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think everything looks great. Great job finding 2 fab pencil skirts! I hope you keep the H&amp;M one as well. I personally do not care for the combo of shirts in 9 and 10, but if you do, go for it. I like the top in 3/4 but it is a little boxy. If you need tops I would keep it. If it just icing on the cake, I would keep looking. I like it paired with the first pencil skirt. I really like the top in 11 and 12, but I am concerned it is too clingy in the mid-section. That could be more of a photo-effect than a real-life concern though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-returns-hm-kate-spade-anthro#post-419325 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:37:27 +0000 Queen Mum 419325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great haul there! The only thing causing me pause is the second blouse (#3/4) Everything else I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-returns-hm-kate-spade-anthro#post-419323 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:30:50 +0000 goldenpig 419323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, just wanted to get your opinion on things that I bought but am not sure I want to keep or return. Thanks!</p> <p>1-4. Anthro green dots blouse size 4 and pencil skirt, size 6. I decided to get the green blouse that you all liked (I sized down to 4), but I have nothing to wear with it. So I also bought a pencil skirt (seemed like the Halogen ones didn't flatter me according to what you all thought). I feel a little silly buying the one that they pictured the blouse with in the catalog because I don't want to be blindly copying, but it seemed like a nice skirt. Do you like it on me?</p> <p>3-4. Cobalt blouse size 6 from H&amp;M. Does this combo with the Anthro skirt work? The shirt is a bit thin/cheaper feeling than one of those expensive silk blouses. Also might be too boxy?</p> <p>5-6. Coral colored top size 8 H&amp;M. I normally favor more of a true red, so not sure if this is working for me. Also it's a bit tight esp with the ruching, but they didn't have a size 10. Leaning towards returning.</p> <p>7-8. Wavy black skirt, H&amp;M size M. I thought the pattern was kind of cool, but now I'm unsure whether this is a good idea. The waistband is just an elastic band, so needs to stay covered. Also thinking this may go back.</p> <p>9-10. The combination of shirts &amp; skirt from H&amp;M. Too 80's?</p> <p>11-12. Black &amp; white spotted ruched top, H&amp;M size M. This would be a MOTG top to wear with jeans. I already have a black and white polka dot top, so it might be too redundant, although this is a little more casual. Not sure if it highlights my pooch too much though. And also jeans from Paige Hidden Hills size 28, black sea wash. I bought this on sale at Amazon. It's actually a really dark blue, not black.</p> <p>13-15. Kate Spade handbag Macdougal Alley in Caribbean. Mamapicklejuice's post has me second-guessing my bag too! I picked it up on sale but it's not final sale so I can return it. I had wanted more of a darker turquoise/teal color but this is all they had on sale. It's a nice bag, comfortable and very functional design, I'm just not sure I totally love it and whether it will go with the rest of my wardrobe. </p>
