Thanks, everyone. Unfortunately, this was bought secondhand so there's no chance of finding a larger size, which would be too big around anyway; it's wear or return. I suspect that it would look a lot better styled as I mean to wear it, and with my face and hair actually done (ugh, I think I'm going to delete those photos...)</p> <p>It's frustrating, because basically there's no way that I can ever buy a RTW top with this detail with the seam in the right place. It has literally never happened in my adult lifetime. I would have to make my own or try to find a line that has a tall version and hope everything else wasn't too long, which again has never happened.</p> <p>This makes me think about the whole PPP thing and "good enough". I get not compromising on things that are important, but where do you draw the line? It seems like it's a question of resource and energy allocation as much as anything else. I could spend all my time and money making sure my wardrobe was perfect but then I wouldn't have any energy or money to do anything else. A topic for another thread, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---top-for-travel-capsule#post-1035362 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 01:52:31 +0000 kellygirl 1035362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The empire seam would drive me nuts. It isn't noticeable from the photos but I would hold out for something that fit perfectly. Print and colors are nice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---top-for-travel-capsule#post-1035359 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 01:48:03 +0000 DonnaF 1035359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you size up on this?&nbsp; I think it would hit you in a better place, both under the bust and at the bottom.&nbsp; These are great colors!&nbsp; But, umm, per YLF wisdom, when you say, "it looks OK enough" it really isn't because you DESERVE better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---top-for-travel-capsule#post-1035210 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 22:57:44 +0000 lyn* 1035210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this top on you - I think you can wear it on its own, and it will play nicely with toppers too.</p> <p>I didn't notice the seam issue - does it really &nbsp;bug you?&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I love the way there are TONS of colours that work together in this top - I can see it working with a ton of bottoms (red pencil skirt!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---top-for-travel-capsule#post-1035178 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 22:27:00 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1035178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Along with my seasonal capsules, I’m working on a travel capsule, with a casual/touristy angle and a business/work one. For me, business doesn’t mean suits necessarily, but smart/business casual options for writers’ conferences, meetings with other writers, agents, editors, etc., and social events related to same. </p> <p>Anyway, I need a top or two for this and I bought a top from Twice recently that’s originally from Kenneth Cole New York. I really like the print and overall shape, and the nylon knit would be perfect for travel and long days. The only issue is that, like a lot of tops, the empire seam falls a little high on me, an inch or so above the bottom of my bra. I am posting pics to ask whether it’s noticeable, or it looks OK enough.</p> <p> </p>
