I really like the last two tops as basics, but not fond of the other two. The 2nd one has a floaty vibe that I know you like; however I feel like the color washes you out a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-297284 Sun, 13 Feb 2011 01:57:42 +0000 ticksgirl 297284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all again for your help. I think I'm going to try pulling the top in #1 down a bit like the model on the site is wearing it to see if that helps. I actually tried the smaller size but it was a light gray color that looked so awful on me that I couldn't really tell if it fit correctly. If pulling it down doesn't work, I may try ordering a smaller size. </p> <p><a href="http://www.express.com/striped-drape-neck-banded-bottom-top-33126-266.pro?user_att_name=Interest&#038;Mpper=3&#038;Mrsavf=SIZE_NAME&#038;Mrsavf=category&#038;Mrsavf=Color&#038;Mcat=266&#038;Mpos=23&#038;Mcatg=cat_2&#038;Mcatn=Sleeveless&#038;Mcatp=cat_9&#038;user_att_value=Email&#038;Mcatgg=category_root&#038;Mrsaa=*&#038;Mpg=SEARCH%2BNAV&#038;Mcatpn=Tops&#038;Mppg=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/striped.....038;Mppg=0</a></p> <p>Are you sure the tops in #3/4 aren't too long? I am currently PMS-y and it's even more difficult than usual to be objective. I feel like they might make my legs look short, but that could possibly be ridiculous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-297177 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 20:15:14 +0000 biscuitsmom 297177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #4 ! With #3 being a close second....really gives you a stunning hourglass figure. #1 is...ok, but doesnt really show off your figure too well....Im not loving #2, I agree with the others that its *not* a keeper.... hey, 50/50 is pretty good results! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-297097 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 17:14:57 +0000 Ornella 297097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 stands out for me, followed by 4.<br /> 1 is pretty but doesn't do you justice, and I can't put my finger on what it is.<br /> 2 is pretty in itself, but seems to be either too big for someone with a figure like you or too short for anything boho-ish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-297090 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 16:53:20 +0000 Vix 297090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see you've sorted it all out! 3/4 are a super-great basic for you.</p> <p>I agree that 1 is just enough off not to be the "10" you say you want...the banded bottom isn't the problem, IMO, so if you wanted it as a layering piece I'd say keep.</p> <p>I think it's just that -- as mentioned above -- there's a bit too much material at the sides (so instead of looking "blousey" it looks baggy). As suggested, maybe a size down *would* work?</p> <p>[Though I've also found that that particular to-the-very-edge-of-the-shoulder sleeveless cut makes me look like a big box cough "Rectangle!" cough. Amazing the difference having a slightly more inward cut there can make....] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-297061 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 15:40:43 +0000 lynn 297061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all except #2.

I would keep the express tops. I love the white one, so I assume I love the black one, although it is harder to see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296855 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 03:16:52 +0000 sarah 296855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with everyone else, although I think you've figured it out. I have to say, those Express tops look so flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296823 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 02:25:17 +0000 ticksgirl 296823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like everyone feels as I do for the most part. I really want #1 to work, but it just doesn't. I think I'd like it without the band, tunic length, with maybe a self tie or something. So I'm still searching for my striped top. And the more I look at #2, the more I hate it! Seriously, what was I thinking?</p> <p>Thank you all for looking and sharing your advice. I can't tell you how many things you unknowingly stopped me from even trying on while I was shopping this morning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296793 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 01:42:32 +0000 Sveta 296793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 and 4 look like great layering basics so keep if they fill that hole.<br /> I like the diagonal stripe in #1, it makes an interesting effect here. I am not sure on the shape but I am not friends with banded tops so I may be biased.<br /> #2 does not look right to me - color is not your best and it should be either much shorter or much longer for that volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296791 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 01:33:04 +0000 Jonesy 296791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 and 4 are fantastic basics. I don't really care for 2 (I think it's the color along with the length and the blousy 3/4 sleeves), and I would give 1 an 8 rather than a 10. Just my two cents! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296781 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 01:17:06 +0000 lisaflex 296781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love #1...needs a chunky necklace imo...#3 is awesome! where can i get it?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296728 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 00:09:44 +0000 CocoLion 296728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in #3, white top. Perfectly flattering! I also like it in black (it's just harder to see the nice fold quality because black is so hard to photograph).</p> <p>I think the striped top is interesting to look at. It looks good on you but does not show your gorgeous figure the way #3 and #4 do. I like the banded look on you. You may or may not want to keep looking for that perfect striped top. So I'm on the fence on this one...</p> <p>I like #2 as well, being a fan of Boho looks. However, on you, I would tuck it in to show off your nice figure. It would look really cute in high waisted wide leg or flare pants and platform sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296722 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 00:03:32 +0000 crwilson 296722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep 3 &amp; 4. I kind of like top #1, but I don't know if I would call it a 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296721 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 00:02:38 +0000 Janet 296721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3 and 4 on you -- I think they're great! #1 looks really nice too. </p> <p>#2 I'm not so crazy about. Not nearly as flattering as the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296717 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 23:59:58 +0000 Mo 296717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 and 4 are great!

What hips? I LOVE 1 and 3 and 4. 2 seems to fit your artsy, bohemian style but I think it's a little too voluminous and I'm kind of "meh" on the color. You rock the banded bottom top! Love your tiny waist in 3 and 4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296658 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 23:05:28 +0000 cobaltblue 296658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 - I want to love it, but something is just not perfect. It seems to swallow you up a bit.</p> <p>2 - I would love it if it were much longer, but as it is, I would return.</p> <p>3 and 4 - Great basics that I am now adding to my shopping list.<br /> Love the disembodied hand in #3!<br /> Becky </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296656 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 23:04:46 +0000 Isabel 296656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 OMG, enough said !!!!</p> <p>#2 it seems a bit shapeless and big...I would also pass</p> <p>I also love 3 and 4 ( btw they don't seem to add to your hips in anyway. ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296652 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 23:00:35 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 296652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all look cute!<br /> LOVE #1. you might just need to get used to it. Looks great to me.<br /> #2 is ok for me but not as good as the rest and I vote pass unless you really love it.<br /> #3 and #4 look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-cabin-fever-shopping-keep-or-return#post-296645 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 22:53:17 +0000 ticksgirl 296645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first shopping trip in ages, and I think I've gotten out of practice. Once again, these all looked so much cuter in the mirror.</p> <p>1) I have a feeling these banded bottom tops are not my friends. I have several of them that I really love, but I'm not sure they're flattering. Maybe because they simultaneously hug my widest part (hips) and wipe out what little waist I do have?</p> <p>2) I'm not sure what I was thinking here. It's a pretty color, but not one of my best. And the shape is a bit out there, I know.</p> <p>3) Express top in white. I thought this would be a nice twist on a basic t-shirt.</p> <p>4) Same top as 3 in black</p> <p>Thanks for looking!</p> <p>ETA: These should really be 10s in order to keep. </p>
