Hmm, I posted a WIW with the ivory ones (same size) but nobody seemed to think they were too tight then:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-parisian-chic-my-take" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ic-my-take</a></p> <p>I'm going to keep the orange Stevies till the Pilcro cords come in, and if the Pilcro ones are better (I think the darker orange would work better for me) then I'll return them. And I agree, none of the tops seem to flatter me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-504008 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:53:50 +0000 Kappy 504008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I agree that everything should be returned. #3 is such a great outfit and nothing here compares to that. Hold out for 10's. Would bright orange work with your wardrobe? It seems like you usually favor more muted/jewel tones? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-504000 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:44:43 +0000 catgirl 504000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd return it all - the tops seem too clingy, and the orange pants do not seem like you. Sorry! Your polka dot shirt outfit is so far by comparison to any of these... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503983 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:08:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 503983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Natalie - but another vote to return everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503937 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 19:16:35 +0000 Anonymous 503937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the orange pants have potential, if you can find something with a larger inseam. They appear to be riding up. Are these petite? If so, try regular sizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503885 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 18:20:57 +0000 modgrl 503885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not that excited about any of them, sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503862 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 17:53:35 +0000 cciele 503862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*wave to Natalie* I guess I am biased -- I like the orange of the Stevie cords! But I think the darker color will go better with your wardrobe. I'm not good at commenting on fit -- but you have them in white in the same size, right?</p> <p>Of the new tops, I like the polka dot Bailey 44 the best, but it is too similar to your existing one (which is cuter). I ended up returning my Bailey 44 tops -- the neckline wasn't working for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503823 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 16:55:39 +0000 Amy 503823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others. Your current top is better. The jeans just don't fit right at all. I like the bright color, however. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503788 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 16:26:14 +0000 Diana 503788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for returning everything... I like the polka dot top but your existing one is better. The new one has that sort of awkward combo of long and clingy around the bottom going on, so i think the proportions of the old one are better. I like the color of the pants but the fit around the crotch seems to be a little off.</p> <p>Oh, and ETA: I don't know if the Pilcro cords are anything like the Pilcro jeans, but if they are you will want to buy them very tight - my mustard jeans tend to stretch like mad over the day, and I regret not sizing down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503735 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 15:50:44 +0000 Queen Mum 503735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>again, I'd return the whole lot. Your existing polka dot top is much more flattering than #1, and the others are too clingy.<br /> And what was the little rhyme that someone (maybe Rae) had... crotch frown, pants too big, crotch smile, pants too tight? I'm sure I butchered it, but the pulling in the crotch just seems wrong here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503732 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 15:48:22 +0000 goldenpig 503732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK! I think I will return all the tops. Glad the favorite was the one I already own! I will order the Pilcro cords and see if they fit better. I think the AG Stevie orange might be a bit bright to work with my clothes--these Pilcros look like a better shade for me:<br /> <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?navAction=jump&#038;id=22529374&#038;parentid=SEARCH_RESULTS&#038;color=081" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....;color=081</a><br /> They're not on sale but they're cheaper than the sale price on the AG jeans.<br /> 1. Pilcro cords dark orange<br /> 2. AG Stevie cords in orange </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503722 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 15:43:35 +0000 Jem 503722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first top, but it is similiar to #3, which I think I like even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503645 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:51:37 +0000 Suz 503645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say pass. The top is not a great fit and the jeans are pulling at the crotch. Not great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503640 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:47:13 +0000 Anonymous 503640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are too fabulous for any of these -- you deserve to be picky and choose 10's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503628 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:33:22 +0000 lynn 503628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the top in #1 but it is like #3. I would pass on the others. I don't like the way the jeans fit you...too many wrinkles. You can do much better with your small hips! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503622 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:15:53 +0000 Isis 503622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd return all tops. I agree with Lynn that the best is #3, and you already own it; that's good!</p> <p>The jeans, I'll defer to others on fit. But I like the sound of a darker orange, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503620 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:11:29 +0000 ButterflyLady 503620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with lyn* about the tops. The jeans are a lush colour - can you make a few outfits with them? Or will they become orphans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503618 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:07:30 +0000 lyn* 503618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The best top, I think is #3. I'm not as fond of the other ones.</p> <p>As for the jeans, they are very orange! Will this go with your wardrobe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503611 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:56:17 +0000 Sona 503611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might consider keeping the first top but I think the others are all returns? Not 10's to my eye and you are curating a fab wardrobe . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503596 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:27:47 +0000 Anonymous 503596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not an expert on jeans fit so I'll defer to the others. How do they feel? Do you like the bright orange or do you want to stay in the rust family? </p> <p>I vote pass on the tops. I bought several of these long, clingy knit tops and I do not like the way they make me feel! Long and loose is one thing, but long and tight is a tough one to pull off (especially with bumpy jeans underneath). I do appreciate the clever necklines and the pattern of the first one and I can see why you were drawn to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-tops-and-orange-pants#post-503568 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 11:00:51 +0000 goldenpig 503568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some of the last few things I ordered during the post-Christmas sales. I am going to split up the keep or return threads, one for each store. Please help me decide if any of these are worth keeping or not. Thanks for your input!</p> <p>1-2 Bailey 44 Slung sash tee in black polka dot. size M I like this on the best of all the three colors, but am worried it's too similar to my polka dot top in #3.<br /> 4. Called "Red"--but it's more like a coral pink. Not sure about this color on me.<br /> 5. Moss green. The tops are pretty long if you don't scrunch them. Also, not sure if they are clinging to my belly too much.<br /> 6. Starred entry tee size S. Uggghhh, my apple belly! Pretty sure this one's going back!<br /> 8-10. AG Stevie skinny cords in orange, size 28. The same ones that Cathy has (waving!). But I'm not sure if it's a little too bright/garish for me. There's a darker orange pair of Pilcro cords I might try instead. </p>
