Loads of stripes out there so hopefully you'll find just the right one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-top-was-never-meant-to-be#post-1796839 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 00:06:06 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1796839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can commiserate with your frustration. I've had similar issues (and I think some might have been at Banana Republic) with stores not honoring the original discount on an exchange or not honoring the online price in-store. Infuriating at times, but also sometimes it feels good just to walk away and move on to the next great find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-top-was-never-meant-to-be#post-1796743 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 18:57:47 +0000 Anonymous 1796743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Krishnidoux</b> -- thank you so much for commenting.&nbsp; There were so many things I liked about the top:&nbsp; fit, fabric, and crewneck.&nbsp; And the discount was the&nbsp;cherry on top.&nbsp; I am good right now.&nbsp; I found no fewer than six tops that met my hopes.&nbsp; I bought all&nbsp;six (in assorted colors ranging from yellow to fuchsia)!!!</p> <p>Thanks for weighing in <b>Elizabeth</b>.&nbsp; The color just looked dirty to me. Like nothing I would want to wear on purpose.&nbsp; </p> <div></p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-top-was-never-meant-to-be#post-1796731 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 18:42:24 +0000 Elizabeth P 1796731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW,&nbsp; I tried on that shirt Sterling, and didn't care for it.&nbsp; The fabric didn't have a nice drape, and it was fairly fitted around the belly area... I felt that the way it felt, made me look huge.&nbsp; Shame, as it looked lovely folded up!&nbsp; I don't think you'll miss it.</p> <p>It's a shame that silk/cashmere stripe was such a dirty colour wasn't it?&nbsp; I also like clean white, I didn't give this one a second glance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-top-was-never-meant-to-be#post-1796727 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 18:34:20 +0000 krishnidoux 1796727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What did you like most about this top? Its stripes? Its structured cut? It's short sleeves? Its round collar? Its discounted price?<br />I saw just yesterday at Marshalls discounted Ralph Lauren boat neck thick cotton tees, one marine/royal blue with </p> <p>elbow sleeve and a little zipper detail at the shoulders, the other striped blue and white with shorter sleeves, both sturdy and structured.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-top-was-never-meant-to-be#post-1796717 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 17:41:16 +0000 Anonymous 1796717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have seen it in person.&nbsp; It is not a clear or clean color (even if it isn't taupe).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-top-was-never-meant-to-be#post-1796679 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 16:08:53 +0000 Angie 1796679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you seen it in person?

That's one reason I like online ordering. </p> <p>My husband ordered pants online and accidentally switched length and waist. We couldn't figure out at first why they looked so bad! I returned them for him. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-top-was-never-meant-to-be#post-1796629 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 14:19:43 +0000 Anonymous 1796629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm surprised they wouldn't do an exchange at the discounted price of your initial order. However, on to the next striped shirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-top-was-never-meant-to-be#post-1796625 Mon, 10 Apr 2017 14:16:37 +0000 Angie 1796625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you try this stripe?
