The top in #3-#5 is pretty but it does look bumpy across your tummy. The paint splattered top is OK, but I'm not loving the colors on you. The sarong shorts look ultra fab on you.</p> <p>Now I'm off to see what the others said...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops/page/2#post-1269849 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 02:01:54 +0000 Jaime 1269849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am just repeating what has been said but the first outfit with the navy top and white shorts are perfection on you. I like the sarong shorts too. The other two tops are just not in the same league and not fab enough for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops/page/2#post-1269766 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 00:24:56 +0000 CocoLion 1269766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything on you, it's hard to exclude anything because it all looks good on you.</p> <p>So I can only answer from the standpoint of what I like better or less. And what I like best is the sarong shorts on you. &nbsp;I'm not sure why I'm not feeling the asymmetrical tee or paint splash top. &nbsp;Of the two, I like the paint splash better but neither of them are wowing me the way the first tent top and sarong shorts are. &nbsp;However, if the tops fit your wardrobe needs then keep them!! &nbsp;And if you like them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269759 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 00:20:02 +0000 Mo 1269759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a band wagon jumper tee hee. &nbsp;I like the navy top and sarong shorts. &nbsp;I'm surprising myself at liking them so much, actually. &nbsp;Fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269747 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 00:11:00 +0000 merwoman 1269747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the party, but chiming in to say how much I love that blue silk top.&nbsp; Am looking for something similar in black - but I quick click on your item link shows it doesn't come in black.&nbsp; Love that 'Find' feature! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269742 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 00:08:03 +0000 Eliza 1269742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz- you are all figured out. &nbsp;Just want to nudge you toward the magenta top as well as the ink. &nbsp;It is such a good color on you and the ink one is perfection.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269721 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 23:51:53 +0000 Suz 1269721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mona, I hear you. I don't do too many prints, either, apart from stripes. Those ones are going back.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm still wondering if a size down in these shorts might be better. I may order them to see.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jackie, I got mine online and online shopping at Zara is a breeze, so I recommend that route.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269712 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 23:43:01 +0000 Mona 1269712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, the navy silk top is killer on you. I am so glad that you are keeping it and do duplicate in magenta too. Sarong shorts from Zara look great too. But I am not crazy about the other two tops. For some reason, I am totally moving away from prints these days. FWIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269709 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 23:41:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 1269709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see you are sorted. I love the first outfit - very you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269708 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 23:41:21 +0000 jackiec 1269708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm late to the party but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the blue tank on you! Wow! To me the tshirt is ok - useful for the summer and don't we always have a shortage of those! I'm not in love with the ink-splattered shirt and I think it's the yellow tone against your gorgeous skin colour. I'd prefer it in a pure white. I love the shorts, and actually thought it was a pencil skirt!!! You are right, same silhouette, but I think having the silhouette as shorts serves a different purpose and they are fun. Gosh...I'm over my budget already this season...but I wonder if my local Zara has those shorts still....hmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269706 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 23:38:45 +0000 Janet 1269706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love the navy top and the sarong shorts are totally fab on you! </p> <p>My shorts are a little big too (I normally wear an 8 and the medium worked for me), but I just go with it for the drape and ease. They sit low, on my hips, not at my waist, and I like them that way -- I can tuck in tops without emphasizing my short-waistedness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269610 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:38:40 +0000 Windchime 1269610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many others have already said it, and I, too, need to say how gorgeous you look in the ink blue top. It's amazing with your eyes and coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269609 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:36:55 +0000 Suz 1269609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To clarify - I haven't actually washed a Zara silk top because this is the first I've tried. But I do it with all my other silk stuff. This is quite thin -- similar to one of the BR tops I got last year. Basically, cheap stuff, if you know what I mean. But it will be fine for a summer top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269605 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:31:32 +0000 Anonymous 1269605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I haven't tried washing their silk tops so that is a big plus to hear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269600 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:19:24 +0000 Jules 1269600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the size info all. I'll try to suss them out in-store or order them if they aren't in stock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269596 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:12:55 +0000 Suz 1269596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ceit, I never dry clean this stuff. Always put in the washer in a bag in the hand wash cycle and hang to dry. Don't intend to do differently with this top. I will iron it, however. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269590 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:04:34 +0000 Peri 1269590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be the oddball and say that I love the paint splash one. It looks so fun. But I can see what others say that it is more busy than you usually go.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the rest, no for the striped T! Yes for the sarong shorts and the silk tank. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269588 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:04:16 +0000 Angie 1269588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the ink top and sarong shorts. Wear them together. Killer on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote return the other two. Not 10s to my eye.&nbsp;&nbsp;xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269583 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:01:27 +0000 Anonymous 1269583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you going to dry clean the top or handwash it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269581 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 20:59:49 +0000 Glory 1269581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shorts and the navy top. I second your idea of ordering it in magenta as well. I am a strong supporter of duplicates when you find something that works so well. Sounds like you have a decision on the other items already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269580 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 20:58:49 +0000 shedev 1269580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the shorts and navy tank. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269578 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 20:58:39 +0000 Elizabeth P 1269578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules, if it helps, I'm almost always an 8 in pants.&nbsp; I ordered the L and they were huge.&nbsp; I'd have tried an M but they were sold out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269567 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 20:47:38 +0000 Suz 1269567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules, the waist measure is a couple of inches bigger than on the chart, and ditto the hips. So it's worth a try.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269523 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 20:07:57 +0000 Jules 1269523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sarong shorts so so much. Am glad you are returning the tops - aside from the more detailed feedback you got, my first reaction was that they are too busy for your style and not really your colours (not flattery wise but in terms of preferred palette). But I'm also drawn to outlier items in the summer and our climate does allow for one-season trifles (by the time summer rolls around again I can never be sure what I'll still like!).<br /> Suz, I'm also wondering if the size of the shorts reflects the sizing chart for you? Trying to get an idea if the large might just fit me since the chart is general and these appear to have a loose cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269520 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 20:05:17 +0000 Anonymous 1269520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say yes to the navy top and the sarong shorts. I really like both of those on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269509 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 19:48:27 +0000 Suz 1269509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all - this is why I consult you! I had my doubts about both tops but was doing a little bit of trying to convince myself, if you know what I mean. Mainly because I want to try some new cuts/ styles and I keep getting frustrated in that goal. I haven't even managed to find a true high-low top yet!&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, the paint splash and the Tee will go back, regardless.&nbsp;</p> <p>Firecracker, that's a really good point about the diagonal. I had not realized that they were different. You have a good eye for detail.&nbsp;</p> <p>If the shorts don't look overwhelming I will probably keep. I might be able to size down but I think this size will be more comfortable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269497 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 19:29:52 +0000 texstyle 1269497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The navy top is an easy yes, it looks great on you! The shorts are also pretty great on you but&nbsp;they do look a lot like a skirt - though these would be more practical, right?&nbsp;The other two tops don't wow me - but I'm pretty choosy about patterns so I may not be the best judge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269495 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 19:24:48 +0000 Isis 1269495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, love the shorts!&nbsp; Not too long, and they look flowy, not overwhelming.</p> <p>I also love the blue top and the striped top.&nbsp;&nbsp; I'd be OK with flashing a little side skin without a cami in casual settings; you may feel fine with that too.&nbsp; </p> <p>I don't like the paint splash top and I"m not sure why....may be the background color as it is different (more muted, as Ornelia said) than the crisper colors that you usually wear so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269491 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 19:22:28 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1269491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sarong shorts on you, too, Suz. If they feel too big in the waist, though, will you wear them? Are they comfortable? Cuz they look fab, but that's only part of it. I think the length is perfect. I like that they are a short but also could be a skirt alternative. Even if you don't keep this particular pair (for fit issues, e.g.), I think this is a direction you could go for getting the avant-garde style impulse that has been so hard for you to find. </p> <p>Which brings me to the shirt in 3-5. It's very nice on you. I would not like a slit that shows skin, personally, but that could probably be fixed by sewing it together, even if it has to be done by hand. Something about the top just doesn't scream "Suz" to me, though. Perhaps because it's more like a t-shirt in appearance--doesn't have your usual polish. I will also make the observation that this hemline is different than the one that Angie was featuring recently (and wearing in her blush knit top)--this diagonal goes to the sideseam, whereas the newer look she was showing has the diagonal go to the center of one leg. </p> <p>I love the paint-splatter top on you, style-wise and the arty (pun intended) pattern. But I don't love the color on you. It's not bad; it just isn't your usual palette, which makes me wonder if you'll reach for it and then hesitate to wear it. </p> <p>Navy top and shorts outfit--so fab! Great find on the top, and glad you're keeping it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-shorts-tops#post-1269489 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 19:18:07 +0000 Elizabeth P 1269489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pretty much agree with everything Shannon just said.&nbsp; It would be very easy to sew that slit closed a couple more inches if you felt a bit "exposed".</p> <p>I'm jealous about the shorts.&nbsp; I ordered them as well, and sent them back.&nbsp; they were huge on me, and a most unflattering length.&nbsp; I felt totally overwhelmed by them.&nbsp; </p>
