What clearlyclair and suz said about not being seduced by a low price...I'm also trying to avoid that . It just means a closet full of meh stuff </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483636 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 04:56:16 +0000 HelenInCanada 483636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colours and vibe of this top! I'm honestly not seeing the "blah-ness" or mediocrity of it. It IS a fun piece, and gives you an hourglass shape. Take that opinion as you like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483579 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 03:41:41 +0000 JennyAnne 483579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the top half but not the bottom. If you have an idea to fix it, I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483568 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 03:33:21 +0000 Janet 483568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire hit the nail on the head for me -- I also see juniors dress in this. I've seen you in things that do you way more justice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483544 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 03:09:34 +0000 Anonymous 483544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz makes a good point. And take what I say with a grain of salt because I have NOTHING to wear right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483507 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 02:43:31 +0000 Suz 483507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to unlearn the bargain buying habit, too. It's a tough one to break, especially because sometimes you really DO find great items at a bargain price! </p> <p>I don't know if I can really use the "would I buy this at full price" question. Because sometimes that's the point. I wouldn't buy it at full price, but I want to PLAY a little with something different, and can justify that more if it is really inexpensive. Know what I mean? So I need to work out a slightly different formula. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483500 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 02:36:06 +0000 Mo 483500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, thanks for the tough love! I have those moments where I can see a 'maybe' item to fabulous outfit fruition, and sometimes it ends up only fabulous in my head. I thought it was $15 until I went to check out and it was half price, of course $15 is pretty cheap too ha ha. I will still give it the old college try with my grey and red tomorrow but am likely heading back with the receipt . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483497 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 02:32:17 +0000 Anonymous 483497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea, but it looks like a dress my daughter would beg me to buy her for a dance. That's what I'm seeing--a juniors' dress. </p> <p>Boy, I'm ruthless! I see so many of my own shopping habits in you Mo, so that's why I'm being tough. I have made countless purchases on the basis of price alone and so I will ask you what I'm asking myself these days. Would I pay full price for this? Would I pay, like $60 for this because it's so fab? If not, I keep looking. Or more likely, I return it because I *did* falter and buy the darn thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483357 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:31:45 +0000 kellygirl 483357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do admit that it is fun. I think my initial reaction was "nay" because it's so different than what I would wear--my filter tends to cloud my view. Anywho, I think if anyone can pull it off, it is you. I see it with a cropped sweater or tuxedo jacket, perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483340 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:18:32 +0000 catgirl 483340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cut off the top, add elastic and wear it as a short skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483337 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:16:32 +0000 Mo 483337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, okay. I'm going to give it one last try tomorrow when my grey cords and red cardi come in the mail. Una, you are so right that I don't need to keep 'almost' even for $7.50, but I really do love the colors so if I can make it work I will </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483333 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:08:59 +0000 catgirl 483333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just don't hang onto it only because it was $7.50! Trying to keep you on the straight and narrow path of non-mediocrity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483330 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:06:45 +0000 kellygirl 483330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not crazy about it. I think you could do better. I vote for something sleeker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483328 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:03:33 +0000 catgirl 483328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not loving it either, Mo. It's like a top that wants to be a party dress. Something about it almost reminds me of a bathing suit. It doesn't really say "partywear" to me. Sorry! I do agree the colors are compelling.</p> <p>Funny, I'm always trying to subtract from my bustline! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483221 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:30:00 +0000 rachylou 483221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For $7.50, heck! It fits you well and is fun.</p> <p>I have to say, there *is* something about it that's a little off putting to me. It may be the combination of colors and material. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483199 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:13:28 +0000 bj1111 483199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like the color and the pattern... very rich. without the netting, it might lie more like a tunic. honestly tho, myinitial thought was..." how fun" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483184 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:53:42 +0000 Mochi 483184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand its "bubbliness" (which was not as much of a problem for me as it is for rae, for example). I simply don't like the pattern or colors all that much. But for that amount of money, if you can have fun experimenting and learning, maybe it's worth keeping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483182 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:50:25 +0000 Mo 483182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Should I 'debubble' it or let it go back? It's only $7.50 so I could afford to experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483179 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:47:20 +0000 rae 483179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first reaction is that it doesn't read as a tunic, but as a party dress that is too short. Normally, I like dresses over skinnies a lot, but in this style, it kinda seems off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483176 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:45:56 +0000 Mochi 483176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also thinking, "Eh." It's not bad, but you are capable of more verve! (Yeah, I know, it would be easier if we all said, "Keep it!", huh </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483174 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:39:30 +0000 Kat 483174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look great and sure, you could pull this off, but I have to say I think you could do better. You have a fantastic figure and this is not doing it the justice it deserves, IMVHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-top-keep-or-return#post-483173 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:35:17 +0000 Mo 483173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this a few months ago in store and picked it up but didn't try it on. Last week I spied it again and brought it into the dressing room. I find it fun and like the richer fallish colors but wonder about the netted underlaying to 'fluff' it out at the hem. This is likely a holdover from my pear worries, like Janet talked about recently. But then I also like that it gives the illusion of more bust lol. What do we think? I would put it over my grey skinny cords (whenever I find them) with heels and also my black matte satin pants once I get them tailored into cigarette legs. </p> <p>Yay - keep<br /> Nay - return</p> <p>EDIT: pardon my pits!! I just wanted a truer color shot </p>
