At this precise moment, I am keeping 1,3,4 and 10 : ) I'm returning tomorrow. LMK if you want me to get the top in 1 for you and send it to you. I didn't know if ATFS were in Hawaii or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore/page/2#post-335026 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 21:26:43 +0000 catgirl 335026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So what are you keeping? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore/page/2#post-335006 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 21:07:40 +0000 kellygirl 335006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Rae, elpgal, christyg,lynn, Aida, Heather,sarah, TG, Una, Angie, Joy, Taylor, Susan, Kim, Sara, Jonesy, Rute, Lynne, MTB, Cilleena, Renee, AJ,&amp; Rosee!<br /> You have no idea how helpful you all have been!<br /> @elpgal: Good point about the polyester. I’ve never had a poly top for summer--I was thinking the loose fit on these would be more forgiving in the heat. Perhaps, not?<br /> @Christieg and Heather: I’m glad you liked #6. It was my first attempt at finding a top to go with the skirt. I’m going to try and size down the blouse to see if I like it better. Chances are I would wear it untucked more often than tucked (since I am the waistless wonder.)<br /> @Aida: Glad 9 is getting some love. Can’t wait to see your version of the camp shirt!<br /> @sarah: #4 was my fave of the wovens. It does have a lot of fussy details around the neck though but I thought it would work great under the Gap shrunken blazer that I finally ordered (fingers crossed.)<br /> @TG: You are absolutely right about the button down. It’s stretchy but not super comfy and I have a feeling it would just sit in my closet. It’s going back! I’m actually in the California--Bay Area. It gets hot but not really humid so the poly may be okay for most days. My legs thank you, too!<br /> @Una: I hope you can track down the tops in 1. They are from the Factory Outlet and came in several prints and a few solids. You won’t have to worry about cleavage in these and they also nicely skim over my muffin : )<br /> @Angie: I love that some of these get your approval! Your input really helps me refine my “eye.”<br /> @Susan: I think you’re spot on about 2. It was one of my least favorites after reviewing the pics.<br /> @Kim: LMK when you plan an outlet day : ) I have carpools galore but could meet you down there for a couple of hours should you need any shopping assistance!<br /> @Sara: Yeah, it’s definitely the shoulder thing with 8. It fits and that’s why I bought it. I think the collar will irritate me along with the wrinkles. I may have to cross the white button down off my list.<br /> @AJ: Great analysis! I need to be a more critical shopper like you. I’m easily overwhelmed and always seem to be in a rush. I hope you can find the dolman at your TJ’s--it’s a great little top and is 100% cotton! I’ve never heard of outlet memberships--definitely something I’m going to look into. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore/page/2#post-334523 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:05:41 +0000 rosee 334523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...really like 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10. I say YAY /KEEP!!!<br /> #'s 3, 5, and 7 are not bad, but not 10s -- the others are more flattering and give you a better shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore/page/2#post-334456 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 23:13:17 +0000 elpgal 334456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your reasoning, AJ. I am nodding along as I read your explanations. You must share your techniques for minimizing an apple body; I'd never have suspected you were one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore/page/2#post-334096 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 06:08:59 +0000 AJ 334096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Luv 1,6,10. </p> <p>1 looks like it can be dressed up or down. The wide straps and the narrow v-neck are great for IT shoulders.</p> <p>I really like the top in 6 tucked in and it looks very pretty with the a-line skirt. Both the wider straps of the halter neckline and the a-line shape of the skirt, balance IT shoulders IMO. </p> <p>I will be on the lookout for 10 at my local TJ Maxx! The narrow v-neck, dolman sleeves and vertical design detail are all great for down playing IT shoulders.</p> <p>Can you tell that I'm obsessed with minimizing my IT shoulders?! Hee-hee!</p> <p>I luv outlet shopping! If you think you'll be making several purchases, it's a good idea to check online to see if your outlet has a free membership. Usually you will get a voucher for a free coupon book that has discounts at some stores and food vendors. Yesterday I got my coupon book and there was one for 20% off Loft Outlet purchases. After the store sale, my coupon, and the $18 balance from my gift card, I saved enough to received one of my two blouses for free! Yipee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore/page/2#post-334078 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 04:38:59 +0000 Reneeb 334078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like most of the tops with my favorites #1 and #10 and if you are wanting to return some I guess by least favorite would be 2 (maybe) and 5/6 is a little big. You really look good in sleeveless tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore/page/2#post-333871 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 21:16:18 +0000 Cilleena 333871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of them. I know, not very helpful, but you look so pretty in all of them. I guess if I had to pick one to return for you, it would be 5. It's nice, but looks a little big on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333870 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 21:15:35 +0000 Cilleena 333870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of them.

What a haul. And you don't look tired at all. Want to take me blouse shopping sometime?</p> <p>I love all of them except for the pussy bow blouse, only because I think it looks a bit big on you. Did you try the size down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333763 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 18:01:57 +0000 rute 333763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did so well! Love them all. 7 is my least favorite (a bit boxy) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333686 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 16:11:55 +0000 Jonesy 333686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is quite a large selection--yay for spring shopping! My faves are 1, 2, 3, 7, and 9. I like 5 and 10 too, just not quite as much as the first 5 I mentioned. 4 and 8 are my least favorite, at least compared to the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333669 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 15:55:49 +0000 kellygirl 333669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF to the rescue! Thanks so much for all of your helpful comments. I was feeling totally overwhelmed by my haul and wasn't sure how to narrow them down. I feel like I've got a pretty good grasp now and can make my returns without regret! I'm off to soccer but I'm going to comment some more later. I just wanted you all to know how helpful you've been. I think I was dreaming about sleeveless tops last night! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333633 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 15:21:39 +0000 MNsara 333633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucky you - to have so much success Now the hard part of finding the best of the lot.</p> <p>I love you in #1, #2/#7 (they seem very similar so one or the other), #3, #9, #10.</p> <p>Don't keep #8 if you aren't sure you'll wear it. I'm another "hard to fit upper body into shirts but feeling the pressure to keep trying" person. I have a small assortment of them, thinking that the next one will be the one I wear. . .ha!</p> <p>#5 isn't on my list because it's either too big, or that specific halter isn't working with your strong shoulder line.</p> <p>I wish we had outlets close enough to check out. We have a nice one, but it's 45 minutes away in a direction I never go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333622 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 14:38:37 +0000 Queen Mum 333622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab haul!<br /> First of all, #6 is KILLER!<br /> I think all the tops are nice, but my faves are 1,3,5,7 and 8.<br /> If you are looking to narrow down your selection, I think you could live without 2 and 3.<br /> I think all the white tops probably have a purpose in your wardrobe, but my fave was #8.</p> <p>I really need to get myself down to the outlets. I tend to get overwhelmed though in that kind of setting. Maybe I need someone to hold my hand </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333475 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 03:54:50 +0000 MsMaven 333475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to pick a favorite. I like #2 the least, but maybe it's just the photo. Or the texture. I think it would work well under a jacket or another layer though.</p> <p>Thanks for the report on the outlet stores. I keep meaning to drive down there. I used to go a lot when that was the closest In 'n Out before they finally expanded into Silicon Valley. (You can tell our family started out in So Cal--DH's family moved there just as the first In 'n Out opened.) Anyway, I don't have the shopping energy I used to have, so I like to zero in on the most likely stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333454 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 03:23:30 +0000 taylor 333454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all could find a place in your wardrobe...or mine!<br /> You ake them all work to me! and pretty colors on you too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333449 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 03:12:43 +0000 Anonymous 333449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you should stock up! You look so good in sleeveless things with your lovely arms. Of the white tops I like the last one best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333425 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 02:32:52 +0000 ticksgirl 333425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deleted--double post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333417 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 02:29:11 +0000 Angie 333417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE #1, #3 , #7 and #10! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333411 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 02:25:33 +0000 catgirl 333411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love #1, #3 and #8. #1 is SO flattering to you (and I am going to hunt it down in Hawai'i!). #9 looks a little big on you to me. I am not loving the shoulder line on #2, although I think it would work under a jacket. Admitting a bias, I'm not a fan of tops like #5/6 in general, so no comment there. The others are nice, but the ones I've mentioned were the ones that jumped out for one reason or another. I admire you bringing it all home to try on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333410 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 02:25:15 +0000 ticksgirl 333410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, you'll be cool and classy all summer in these tops. Nice haul!</p> <p>FWIW, #8 is my least favorite. I don't think you need a button down with all these other great tops you've found. Besides, it's awfully similar to #10 from a distance, but 10 to me is more summery and flattering to your shape. </p> <p>Also, I think all #5/6 needs to be a keeper is some nipping on the sides and a shorter hem. (But of course the polyester issue does need to be considered...IIRC you are also in TX, right? I have pretty much nixed all poly for myself, though it's hard since there are so many cute polyester tops right now!)</p> <p>And finally, since no one has said it yet on this thread: Lord, your legs are amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333407 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 02:23:23 +0000 sarah 333407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Kelly, I can't believe you hauled all of that in one fell swoop. You lucky gal! OK, here's my take on things. I love 1, 2, 4, 7. I think 3, 9, and 10 are close behind and are also keepers. I agree that 5/6 is not so flattering - something about the neckline and the way it drapes in front, and 8 looks like the sleeves are too big around - I think you could do better. My absolute faves are 1 and 4. Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333349 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 01:36:37 +0000 christy 333349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@hbaber - glad to know I'm not the only one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333344 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 01:29:21 +0000 Heather 333344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHAHA!</p> <p>Kelly, you may not wish me to post as it sounds like you are returning my fav! I cheated and looked at pretty you, first (before reading the commentary); and, number 6 as a total package was my absolute favorite outfit and silhouette on you! All you need is a sweet little metallic (silver or pewter maybe?) belt and some jewelry: BOOM! Smokin! The neckline and tucking make you look so tall. Looking at that blouse in photo 5 it looks too large for you, though? Perhaps this is the cause for dislike? The skirt is fab and will play well with all the other pieces you purchased. </p> <p>All the rest are total keepers, and I am happy to know you own that blouse in photo 8. I adore a camp shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333338 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 01:17:44 +0000 Aida 333338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray! I'm taking furious notes over here :)</p> <p>Looks like you did very well! I especially love #1, 9 and 10. I have a shirt similar to #8 which I had planned to wear in "spring" but haven't yet. I like the way you've styled it here, great safari-type look! I think it's worth keeping I also rather like 5, and like Rae prefer it untucked; does it work with a belt? That could be another fun option for it. Nothing screams "return me!" to me but as I've said I'm pretty new to blouses and don't really "get it" yet so, ya know </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333337 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 01:16:16 +0000 lyn* 333337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#8 is my favorite; beautiful crisp and white and the proportions are excellent! I love top #5 tucked in more :p </p> <p>I do adore F21; perhaps your DD could come shopping with me I need a shopping buddy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-galore#post-333336 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 01:15:12 +0000 christy 333336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - you have some great blouses here! I looked at the pictures before I read all of your comments and FWIW (which may be little since I'm new to this!) I thought the entire outfit in #6 was really stunning on you...it's definitely dressier than the others, but really flattering (I thought!). </p> <p>I think my two favorites with the shorts are #1 and #10 - #1 seems like it would be really versatile - layered under a jacket or just on its own and #10 is just too cute! </p>
