The tie is MUCH LOWER than the ON top. But the tie is much narrower. And the fabric is very drapey. Overall, it looked really nice. I picked up the teal blue one which is nice with my eye color. The camel was really caramelly and I had no need for the black one. The patterned one was also very caramelly so I passed.</p> <p>I also grabbed a white neck-tie top in white cotton. But its not fitted at all so I am curious how I can wear it. </p> <p>AND! I also picked up a little vest/waistcoat piece that they were literally just hanging up out of the box. </p> <p>THey were also just hanging up a silky tie-neck blouse that I tried on. Tan, polyester satin. The bow was really nice and puffy but when I tried it on, the satin was so shiny and slippery the bow basically untied itself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-16809 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:13:01 +0000 Tanya 16809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love those mesh NY&#38;Co tops! I might get one myself if the mesh is comparable to Sweet Pea tops. </p> <p>Marlene, their sizing is slightly on the big side, sort of like ATL I'd say. But give it a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-16805 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:52:13 +0000 Anonymous 16805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have very little experience with NY &#38; Co so I hadn't seen them! You are right...the fabric looks much drapier than the cotton ON one! I think I'll stop by their store at the mall and see what their sizing is like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-16803 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:47:24 +0000 Dani 16803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marlene, I don't know if these will work as the collar and the tie part of the blouse appears to be very similar to the ON one, but maybe the fabric is more drapey on these and will look better tied lower?</p> <p><a href="http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/browse/product_detail_with_picker.jsp?productId=prod570048&#038;parentId=cat60010&#038;subcatId=cat450006" rel="nofollow">http://www.nyandcompany.com/ny.....=cat450006</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/browse/product_detail_with_picker.jsp?productId=prod570049&#038;parentId=cat60010&#038;subcatId=cat450006" rel="nofollow">http://www.nyandcompany.com/ny.....=cat450006</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-16795 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:27:49 +0000 Tanya 16795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad that the cardi is a success and sorry about the other two pieces. Well, at least now you know what to look for in a blouse. Looking forward to seeing photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-16789 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:56:49 +0000 Anonymous 16789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My package arrived today and I spent a little time experimenting. </p> <p>The blouse is a new thing for me. The bow-tie portion actually was meant to tie higher than the picture on the website showed. So the only way it looked OK was tied higher. If I tied it looser, then it looked weird. So with my short neck, it did not look good at all. But overall, I liked the piece. The fabric is micro-striped and has a very subtle metallic thread which I actually did not mind. If not for the height of the tie, I would like this shirt. But it needs to go back. I'm glad I tried the style and I think I will continue to search for one that has the tie positioned lower. It may be hard to find since I want one in cotton/machine wash fabric. This one was close but not close enough. The hunt continues.</p> <p>The dress is a disaster on me although I love the gray cotton fabric. The style is very wrappy...there is a wrap at the front AND the back. THere is a LOT of fabric in this piece and the over-all look is very toga. And they provide a cotton slip liner which is necessary for this piece. However, the liner is also cotton so there was some places where the outter dress got caught up on the liner. So even in the 5 minutes I was wearing it, I spent most of that 5 minutes fussing with the position of the fabric...both keeping the wrap parts in position and keeping the dress from riding up the liner. This one is going back as well.</p> <p>The sweater is great. I ordered a medium but they sent a large. But it fit great. I tried it on with the above blouse and it did look pretty good so the sweater is a nice layering piece. I also tried it on with my basic button up shirt and it looked perfect. I seem to have good luck with anything I get from BR.</p> <p>I tried taking pictures but I had trouble with the flash. I will experiment some more but for now, a narrative will have to do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-15366 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:57:38 +0000 katieck 15366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tie neck blouse. I'm drawn to these and would like to get one. Cute stuff!</p> <p>I had written ON off as well (I always say ON is for anorexic teenagers), but saw some of their new stuff in Lucky magazine recently and decided to give them another try. I actually found some black clamdiggers and a cute dress. I really need to post some pics of me in these outfits so y'all can give me some feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-15358 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:48:12 +0000 Sihaya 15358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to seeing pictures of you in these Marlene! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-15328 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:04:14 +0000 Dani 15328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute purchases. I'll have to give Old Navy another look soon. I had kind of written if off lately. I'm also tempted by the BR cardigan. Oh, this site is so bad for my bank account Pictures please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-15325 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:53:28 +0000 Anonymous 15325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, the blouse is cotton, machine wash, and ties lower on the chest so it meets all my requirements. And you can't beat that price. It will be a way to try out a new style without breaking the bank! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-15316 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:20:43 +0000 nicoleb 15316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love that blouse too! i think i might want one lol. Old Navy has had sooo many cute things lately! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-15305 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:34:41 +0000 Angie 15305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blouse! Yay! Another blousie girl. You can’t go wrong with a basic black cardi and I’d be interested to see how that dress fits. Can’t wait to see pics. Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-15298 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:20:31 +0000 Rosie 15298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fellow San Diegan! I think layering is key here - it does get a bit chilly at night or in air-conditioned restaurants. </p> <p>Cute purchases! I might have to get that tie-neck blouse myself! The dress looks nice and lightweight - perfect for the weather here. I love BR cardigans and you should get lots of wear out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-online-today#post-15296 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:15:00 +0000 Anonymous 15296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its time to start sharing details about my wardrobe! Here are my online purchases I just made:</p> <p>1. A tie-neck blouse. The tie looks like it is lower on the chest which will work for my short neck</p> <p><a href="http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=5438&#038;pid=579808&#038;scid=579808012" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/.....=579808012</a></p> <p>2. Black cardigan. I think this will work over the shirt above</p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=26503&#038;pid=547727&#038;vid=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....#038;vid=1</a></p> <p>3. Dress. I had seen this dress online previously but when it was mentioned in another thread and I saw that it was now on sale...well i knew it had to be mine!</p> <p> <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=13658&#038;pid=580463" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....pid=580463</a></p> <p>So when these arrive, I may be brave enough to post a pic of me wearing them. Since I live in San Diego, my cooler weather wardrobe is pretty non-existent. I think I needed to pick up a couple basics..things I can layer. I'm sure I'll be more adventurous once I have the basics covered. </p>
