It's a really nice, well-made piece -- silk, Catherine Malandrino. Maybe I should sell it on eBay. Honestly, it's about two sizes too big now too. I tried it on tucked into pants and a skirt, and it really wasn't working that way either. </p> <p>Rachylou nailed it -- I think I could almost make it work, but it would be *work*. I thought about trying to have it altered to take away some of the "pouf" but I don't think it's worth it. I have other fab tops that fit the purpose this one once had. </p> <p>Thank you everybody! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525435 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:13:07 +0000 missvee 525435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitlely toss! I don't like the way it clings around your bust. Let someone else have some fun with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525413 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:20:59 +0000 ButterflyLady 525413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say the same as Meredith. </p> <p>Can you post a photo of it tucked? That might work, or the band might keep creeping up and out ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525398 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:51:39 +0000 Briar 525398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The neckline is so pretty and flattering to your shoulders, but the poofy tummy is what makes me think this top should be passed on. You have a great waistline, don't hide it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525397 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:36:38 +0000 rute 525397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! The volume don't bother me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525396 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:35:48 +0000 Kappy 525396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say the same thing as Coco! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525339 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:12:38 +0000 Kirti 525339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't keep this one - the volume would drive me nuts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525326 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:53:53 +0000 CocoLion 525326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way it looks from the side, it is interesting, but from the front it has a lot of volume. I say pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525320 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:44:23 +0000 Deborah 525320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I think itsna very pretty top, again it just doesn't look like you Janet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525318 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:41:13 +0000 rachylou 525318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote toss too. You could make it work, but it would be work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525300 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:03:39 +0000 Kate 525300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd be plucking at that big ole band all day if I were wearing that. I vote toss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525266 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:13:46 +0000 lyn* 525266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*waves yay to tucking sayers* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525259 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:06:01 +0000 HelenInCanada 525259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Janet, it looks absolutely HORRID - now send it my way immediately! :)</p> <p>I don't get the panning either. This is an ADORABLE and fun, trendy top. The style is distinctive. Colours are gorgeous. Just my two cents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525254 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:58:14 +0000 catgirl 525254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a good layering piece too, but my concern is that it doesn't look as much like the direction I've seen you headed lately style-wise. I could be wrong - what do you think?</p> <p>It's funny how something can be so "YOU" and then suddenly not feel quite right any more. It reminds me of when I see "Friends" episodes now and think how much I loved the outfits then, yet now find them a bit off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525247 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:49:34 +0000 taylor 525247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Lyn and Mo...I think it is a great layering piece. If the fabric is good quality I love the color and the neckline on you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525239 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:43:09 +0000 Mo 525239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha - I just saw Lyn and I are the only keep/tuck votes lol! To clarify, I wouldn't wear it like this with the band out over jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525238 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:42:12 +0000 Mo 525238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep - and tuck! Into skirts or even jeans, then belted. Eliminates the band issue at the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525212 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:48:01 +0000 lyn* 525212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm surprised by the universal panning - I really love this top! I usually get around the poof by tucking it into a high-waisted pair of pants or a skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525194 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:28:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 525194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think it's time to let it go Janet - it does not do you justice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525183 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:22:23 +0000 Adelfa 525183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know what your weather is like, but I think it could work for a little while longer with a jacket. You could enjoy that pretty neckline just a bit more. Then when it's too warm for that, move it along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525171 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:16:38 +0000 Meredith1953 525171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! The cutaway shoulders and graphic pattern are awesome on you but that band on the bottom of the<br /> top really bothers me. I would pass it along to someone else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525163 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:10:34 +0000 Janet 525163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is good! You all are confirming my gut feelings. Brutality is good in this case -- you can't hurt my feelings because these are just clothes and I already knew something wasn't right. My eye is still adjusting and some things have been in my closet too long for me to really *see* them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525161 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:09:49 +0000 Mochi 525161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't seem to stay signed off here for long today, can I? </p> <p>I can see your hesitation. This has a beautiful neckline and the print and colors are bold and attractive. But it's simply too big on you, and with the waistline I don't think you could belt it. Perhaps you could just use it as a layering garment under a jacket, but it also looks like it's making your bust look bigger than it is, and overall camouflaging your shape. </p> <p>So yeah, fondly let go? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525157 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:08:05 +0000 annagybe 525157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh, no and you don't want to hear my internal commentary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525156 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:08:00 +0000 Parsley 525156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are the ones that are tough, aren't they? The ones that seem like they could almost work. </p> <p>This top is pretty, but it's never going to feel right on you. You're always going to be tugging at it, and it will never feel really good. </p> <p>I vote toss.</p> <p>I hope I'm not being too tough, but so often I do the same thing. I hang on to things because they seem like they SHOULD work. But they just don't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525155 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:07:56 +0000 AJ 525155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz said. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525154 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:07:38 +0000 Misia 525154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't like this one, the side view is weird kind of? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525148 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:05:14 +0000 Suz 525148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say let it go to a new home....and make room for the new! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-toss-pouffy-top#post-525138 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:01:00 +0000 Janet 525138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been avoiding confronting this orphan for a while. It's always been voluminous, but since my weight loss it's even more so. </p> <p>When I pull the elasticized waist down further, it makes the top pouf out less, but I think I start to lose my waistline then. </p> <p>What do you think? </p> <p>Yay - keep<br /> Nay - pass it on </p>
