It didn't feel like it was tight or pulling anywhere, so it didn't occur to me. If I have time this week I'll pop by and try the large for comparison.</p> <p>It'd better be darn hot in Boston. I'll be mad as blazes if it turns out to be 80F or below! hehehehe</p> <p>I still haven't bought any shoes. Time is running out and I'm starting to panic. I have to go by Nordstroms to do returns on Monday afternoon, so maybe I'll see if they have those Sandals Angie recommended. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172676 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 15:04:25 +0000 Angie 172676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny, I like the blue and purple best. Perfect cotton casual blouse for a hot day! I vote return the white and peach. </p> <p>I *almost* wanted to size you up in this blouse though. Did you try a larger size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172629 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 13:27:48 +0000 florida 172629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! The white with the tan needs a tad of styling to zip it up a bit... but I think that these are sweet little outfits for hot weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172614 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 09:02:42 +0000 Louise 172614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172607 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 07:17:18 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 172607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great - perfect for Boston (one of my favourite US cities).</p> <p>Kim - I have a top similar to those that Jenny and it works for me for the reasons she lists, plus I am also short waisted. I think that it is just one of those things where the proportions matter more than the overall design. I have to say that it is one of my favourite tops because the elastic as a bit of a corset effect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172594 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 06:54:46 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 172594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great - and great point from Scarlet. Smart idea to buy in different colours - I seem to have a mental block about ever doing that, and find myself thinking 'I wish I had more tops like X'! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172582 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 06:18:16 +0000 Scarlet 172582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the tops look great. I can see where there would be a possibility to size down in the skirt, but honestly, in hot weather it's probably nice to have some extra room, and it certainly does not look like the wrong size in these photos, I am guessing because the waist band is covered. Finally, this style of skirt should be very easy to alter if you ever want to take to a tailor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172573 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 05:28:06 +0000 wilson 172573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tops are a really good fit for your figure! You've got great arms to pull off the cap sleeves too. I would buy one in each color too if I found a blouse I looked that good in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172552 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 02:40:04 +0000 Anonymous 172552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you, Jenny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172517 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 00:06:21 +0000 Queen Mum 172517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny- that waist band would usually make me look really hippy. I think maybe it's cuz I'm short waisted. I'm gonna go try them on though to see what they look like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172515 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 00:04:12 +0000 JennyK (NC) 172515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim - why do you think they would look horrible? I think they work because </p> <p>#1 they don't pretend I don't have boobs<br /> #2 they cinch in at my smallest point<br /> #3 they flow gently down to my hips, skipping past my poochie without making comment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172513 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 23:59:22 +0000 Queen Mum 172513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those tops!<br /> I just don't understand though... if I tried to wear tops like that they would look horrible on me. Can't figure out why they work so well on you. We're both hourglass and you're a tad bustier than I am maybe I'll go over to Target and give them a whirl..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172491 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 22:52:10 +0000 Lisa 172491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both the skirts and the tops. I'm not a fan of the white top with the khaki skirt paired together, but like all the tops both in color and style on you. Also the skirts look nice and casual for a trip up to Boston. Nice target find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172486 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 22:46:30 +0000 Anonymous 172486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in the skirt and top. Good find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-summer-wardrobe-impulse-buy#post-172482 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 22:44:19 +0000 JennyK (NC) 172482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought myself a summer wardrobe of sorts. I tend to be one of those people who will snatch up one of every color in something I really like. I do it on impulse and sometimes (though not often) regret it.</p> <p>So - I found these cute, breezy, casual tops and skirts at Target. The skirt is for me a good alternative to shorts. I'm really uncomfortable in shorts and don't even wear them in the garden.</p> <p>The problem with this skirt is that I really need an 8 and there are no 8's to be found (in anything other than a weird, hideous sort of neon blue) anywhere in this county or the next and none available at Target online either. These are 10's and aren't falling off but don't fit as well as the 8.</p> <p>I want these for my vacation (heading for Boston July 1), so I am running out of time! Besides, the price was right at $20 each for the skirts and around $17 for the tops.</p> <p>The tops I *think* are ok on me, but I am not 100% sure, as they are very different from what I normally wear. Tell me the truth now! </p> <p><a href="http://goingungracefully.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/2010-summer-wardrobe/" rel="nofollow">http://goingungracefully.wordp.....-wardrobe/</a> </p>
