It adds just the right amount of subtle textural interest, the fit is fab, and the top is stunning. Love your earrings here too.</p> <p>I'm sorry to hear that one Mango top didn't work out. Their merchandise can be hit or miss, but still worth checking out (they regularly have nice belts too, for example) as the prices are very reasonable.</p> <p></span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping/page/2#post-942611 Mon, 27 May 2013 13:57:14 +0000 harmonica 942611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 and 4.

Even if it's expensive , you will probably get that cost per wear way down wearing it with various things. I love the camo top but CPW would be very high. If Mr. Suz says anything about the price of 2-4, you can show him that it's much less than what you could have spent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-942261 Sun, 26 May 2013 19:57:28 +0000 Parsley 942261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Opinions seem to be divided here, don't they?<br />I like the one in 2-4, but I <u>LOVE</u> the one in 5-10, and don't find the cami to be a problem at all.</p> <p>But the bottom line is that you will look stunning in either one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-942234 Sun, 26 May 2013 18:52:46 +0000 lyn67 942234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Suz, your seath is absolutely fab, I have seen it (and not commented on it, yet) right now! But if you want, the fuchsia suit will do it either fab. Love love love the 5-10 top with it, it's the trendiest hi-low&nbsp;and dressy slounch ever!:-)&nbsp;I think will worth the money, even if cami is peaking out underarm. Maybe you can alter somehow going up with the side seam a bit more? And, what if you put on a lurex/sequinned cami or so under, to look it even more intentional? </p> <p>(2 and 4 is also looking good!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-942045 Sun, 26 May 2013 14:39:14 +0000 Angie 942045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2 to #4!

Or a white skirt and a jean jacket. If you're really undecided, then forget the suit for now, and go with the dress. It's lovely too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-942008 Sun, 26 May 2013 13:10:32 +0000 Elizabeth P 942008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally late to this party, but I wanted to chime in to say I LOVE the camo CM shirt.&nbsp; Gorgeous!&nbsp; But you look awesome in all of these (well, except maybe #1 ) and in the dress... so great that your options are coming together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-942004 Sun, 26 May 2013 12:50:17 +0000 kkards 942004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>l love the camo. i think it has the dressiness to complete the outfit, but its not overwhelming. i understand about the cami showing, but i wonder if you are really going to be taking the jacket off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941963 Sun, 26 May 2013 07:33:15 +0000 CocoLion 941963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both of your Club Monaco choices are stunning! &nbsp;The sequin top is more festive, but given the price, and the fact that you would not wear it all that much, I recommend the jacquard shell. &nbsp;It is not just a t shirt IMO, I think you would get a lot of mileage from that top and you will feel FAR more polished in it than in a tee. &nbsp;Just by popping it on with jeans shorts, you will feel more chic. &nbsp;It looks like a great, versatile top. &nbsp;Is it also machine washable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941960 Sun, 26 May 2013 06:48:31 +0000 Hil 941960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the camo print. To me, it reads evening and edgy at the same time and I think it goes so well with the fuchsia suit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941929 Sun, 26 May 2013 04:58:54 +0000 rae 941929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The camo is my fave. I think the young/trendy print helps keep the look from getting too old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941909 Sun, 26 May 2013 03:42:10 +0000 Karie 941909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fav is #5 - could you wear it with a shorter cami? If not, I would either have #1 altered along with the pants, or bite the bullet and fork over the cash for #2 - that one appears to fit perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941894 Sun, 26 May 2013 02:51:25 +0000 MsMary 941894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 2-4.&nbsp; Gorgeous!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941888 Sun, 26 May 2013 02:19:36 +0000 Suz 941888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. I'm very grateful, Krish and Shevia, that you&nbsp;filled me in about Mango. The prices made me think it might be like H&amp;M. (Some of the stuff looks fun on the website, though...I found crossover slouchy trousers. Where else are you going to get that at a low price point in Canada right now?)&nbsp;</p> <p>Seems as if opinions are mixed about the tops here. And no wonder. I can see advantages to both. Or neither! I guess neither is the "perfect" top for this event, but both could be good, and both could have uses outside the event, although the camo/ sequin one would get a lot less wear given my usual run of activities.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hmmm. I am heading prettty fast toward the sheath dress, at this rate!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941879 Sun, 26 May 2013 01:56:25 +0000 carolbee 941879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second top is the one. Is it expensive or EXPENSIVE!!!! You will need a top for this suit regardless, so as others have mentioned think about the cpw rather than the price tag itself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941852 Sun, 26 May 2013 00:53:46 +0000 bj1111 941852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: go with the camo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941843 Sun, 26 May 2013 00:39:02 +0000 bj1111 941843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>even if you go with the sheath, you will still need a shell with this fab suit, just not so urgently. &nbsp;but, why not perseverate &nbsp;and get something that you will really love to complete this outfit. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941841 Sun, 26 May 2013 00:38:11 +0000 Jaime 941841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the one in 2-4 and basically agree with what Shannon said. It might be worth the money because it would be super versatile.<br />I am extremely unimpressed with Mango's quality. I am sure it is hit or miss but whenever I browse through it I come out empty handed because everything looks cheaply made to me. I think it is more H&amp;M quality (although H&amp;M sometimes has pleasant surprises) than Zara (which is also very hit or miss). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941837 Sun, 26 May 2013 00:29:18 +0000 donnat 941837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2-4 is really nice, the sheath dress is also killer..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941834 Sun, 26 May 2013 00:21:25 +0000 Suz 941834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course I love your idea, Mia! &nbsp;:-)&nbsp;</p> <p>But seriously, this has jump-started my long non-existent formal wear capsule. So I am not at all sorry. Nor am I against spending a little to have two fabulous outfits ready and waiting for the right occasions! I think it's money well spent, in the long run.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941826 Sun, 26 May 2013 00:01:26 +0000 Mia 941826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoo boy do I love 5-10. &nbsp;</p> <p>Of course it's the most expensive cause it looks so amazing. &nbsp;The cami show thru does not bother me at least in the photo. &nbsp;There are so many layered tops out there right now that do this intentionally. Given what you have invested in the outfit so far maybe it's not too much of a stretch?&nbsp;</p> <p>I really love this outfit but I love the dress too. &nbsp;Maybe do like Miucca Prada says she does and have your options and decide last minute what your heart tells you? &nbsp;I think a famous actress did this on Oscar night too.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941807 Sat, 25 May 2013 23:44:28 +0000 texstyle 941807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shannon said. :-)&nbsp; It would really be hard to go too wrong but I think the armhole fit is a key point in the decision.</p> <p>I know you'll pick the right one for you and yoiu are going to look spectacular Suz - what a great outfit!</p> <p><u></u> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941798 Sat, 25 May 2013 23:38:40 +0000 citygirldc 941798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4, 5, 10 &nbsp;are my faves.

The shoulders and under arms are perfect and to me, those are the areas that can either make or break a sleeveless top. This one is perfect IMHO. It's unfortunate the price tag is so hefty - do you think it's a piece you would wear a lot thereby bringing down that CPW? I can see it working with so many of your bottoms - tube skirts, shorts, portobello skirt, white jeans, slouchy trousers... </p> <p></p> <p>ETA forgot to add that I'm not crazy about the top in #5 - #10. Although pretty &nbsp;and I imagine would be even lovelier IRL with right reflecting qualities, etc., I really don't like the fit. To me it's a deal breaker if I can't wear it on its own because of the underarm fit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941750 Sat, 25 May 2013 22:48:39 +0000 Caro in Oz 941750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 to 4 looks fantastic Suz - I love the neckline on you &amp; the way the shoulders fit - worth paying for imo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-shopping#post-941735 Sat, 25 May 2013 22:37:58 +0000 krishnidoux 941735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, Mango is not top quality. It's really a hit or miss in my experience. It's not the bottom low, but it's less quality than Club Monaco for instance. It's a bit like Zara I think.</p> <p>Here's an idea: How about having your top altered along with your pants, so that it really fits you? Take any of those top shown above and have it fitted to your body... it could cost less than a new top and end up looking even better. </p>
