Good luck:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473629 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 14:18:44 +0000 Daria 1473629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again ladies for your opinions! Interestingly, hubby likes #3 and #7 and doesn't care about everything else. (And he is right that I shouldn't have worn the shapeless jeans..)<br />Laura - good to know the brands are decent quality. I'm not really on a tight budget, would rather call it shopping diet. :)<br />rabbit - good point about #2. My tops do tend to be either bright, or busy (or both) so it's something to consider.<br />jackiec - thank you! The photos could be better, even though I did my best massaging them in that lousy editor Stylebook provides. :)<br />Another question - do you think any of the toppers are worth trying in a smaller size? As I mentioned, these are the smallest sizes available at my local store, but smaller sizes are available online. I'm thinking #4 might be worth trying in 0, and perhaps #7? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473404 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 02:05:57 +0000 Jaime 1473404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape of #7 and the fit of #4 and #2 if that is your look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473339 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 23:57:00 +0000 Anonymous 1473339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 7 for toppers with your summer tops. They also give you variety. The turquoise blue loos like it will go well with the print tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473318 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 22:39:16 +0000 jackiec 1473318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 &amp; 4. I think the cobalt would play nicely with your tops but you'd have to try them together.&nbsp;</p> <p>PS your stylebook photos are good. I took a whole weekend to try to inventory my stuff on there and my pics are disasters.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473277 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 21:03:52 +0000 Debbie 1473277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 7. To me they look like they would get you through the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473258 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 20:14:59 +0000 rabbit 1473258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#7 (especially if it was in a neutral that paired well with your top colors - maybe a light neutral) and #9 are my favorites. &nbsp; I really like the cut of 7 on you because it seems to fit your body shape so well. &nbsp;#9 is such a classic color and shape that I think it would be fairly easy to dress up and down.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;#2 &nbsp;Is a bit busy for me in texture to envision pairing easily with anything besides neutrals and tonal colors, unless you are going for more boho&nbsp;&nbsp;-- but that might just be my own style preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473257 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 20:13:45 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1473257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, about the brands, I've had good luck with all of them. Calvin Klein and Ann Klein both make good jackets, and Kasper is a solid suiting brand. INC can vary since they make a lot of things, just make sure the fabrication and construction are ok. </p> <p>If you're tight on budget another good place to look might be Target. They've got some cute toppers this spring. Oh yeah, and Dress Barn, which is casual toppers / cardigans central, and surprisingly high quality for the price. I know they've got a petite section if that's a factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473254 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:58:04 +0000 MTBGirl 1473254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #2 and #9. They look like they fit well and would go with all the tops you've shown. Together they cover casual and nicer, light and dark, and softer and crisper fabric.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473224 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 18:06:12 +0000 Daria 1473224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, keruchina - thanks! INC cardi seems to be the favorite so far.<br />My office is very casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473219 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 17:49:54 +0000 keruchina 1473219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 3 the best, but they are also both&nbsp;casual.&nbsp;&nbsp;How formal is your office?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473211 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 17:30:11 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1473211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2, 7, and 9 are my favorites. I like the idea of 1 but it looks too big unbuttoned, and in the sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473174 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 16:41:42 +0000 Daria 1473174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou - sadly not more than 2. Sigh.. (And I agree about the blue color..) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473167 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 16:25:20 +0000 rachylou 1473167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, out of Angie's picks... #7 is the only one I don't like. I find the blue 'meh' and something scrawnifying about the sweater on the whole... All the others, fantastic! I hope you don't just want <i>one</i>... hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473166 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 16:25:11 +0000 Daria 1473166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry ladies - I posted the pics from my phone first, and then it took me a while to write the "novel" to go with them. Thanks for your comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473165 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 16:20:07 +0000 Karin L H 1473165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the cardigan in #2, and also the colourful open blazers #6 and #7, such fun colours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473164 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 16:18:28 +0000 Angie 1473164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 fit the best. Remember that you would not button those blazers so make sure they hang right UN-buttoned. I'm pretty sure they do.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-shop-for-toppers-at-macys#post-1473161 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 16:06:06 +0000 Daria 1473161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all I apologize for the amount of photos - please feel free to skip!<br />A few weeks ago I made an attempt to build spring/summer capsules with Stylebook app, and came to a (rather sad) conclusion that most of my toppers are either tired-looking, or ill-fitting, or don't go well color wise with the rest of my wardrobe (and some of them had more than one of the sins above).<br />Toppers are a necessity, because my office is very generously air-conditioned and I always run cold. However - toppers are not really in the budget.&nbsp;<br />Long story short (it's not really short already though..) I ended up trying toppers at Macy's because I happen to have some gift cards.<br />I tried pretty much everything available in sizes 0, 2 or XS/S (which was not that much).<br />Is there anything you ladies find promising that might also go well with at least some&nbsp;of my summer tops (photo #10)? Or should I spend aforesaid gift card on summer essentials for my girls instead? :)<br />Here are descriptions and my thoughts.<br />#1: Lacy INC jacket, size S. Kind of interesting.. but probably not versatile enough.<br />#2: Cardigan thingy (INC also, size S - not sure the brand exists in XS at all).<br />#3: Linen jacket (INC, size S) - fairly nice, but is it a repeat of my short green Antro blazer I posted about recently?<br />#4: Cobalt Calvin Klein blazer (size 2) - not sure about the fit and while I love cobalt in theory, in practice not sure how it will play with my tops.<br />#5: Light blue Nine West blazer (size 2) - same as above<br />#6: Pink Nine West blazer (size 2) - I'm definitely not into pink, but the cut is interesting&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />#7: Blue blazer thingy (Kasper - never heard of the brand, size 4)<br />#8: Another Kasper blazer, obviously too big<br />#9: Formal blazer (Anne Klein, size 0) - it's more formal than I need/want but since it was size 0 (a rarity in Macy's!) I tried it on.<br />Thank you for reading and sorry again for the length! Any comments are welcome. If anybody can comment on the quality of these brands, it will be greatly appreciated. </p>
