I liked the large for how it semi tucked in the front and still kept all the beautiful drape in the back but it was huge on the shoulders and looked kind of sloppy. The medium looks better untucked or fully tucked so I went with that size. Thanks for showing me this blouse in the first place </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1284161 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 14:27:43 +0000 Angie 1284161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know that blouse will look amazing on you, Shannon.&nbsp;Gorgeous with white jeans too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1284156 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 14:19:59 +0000 Astrid 1284156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so pretty! Can't wait to see how you're going to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1284122 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 13:37:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1284122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo - that's how I'm looking at it too. I feel like both the dress (if it fits) and the blouse are good purchases for me with lots of wearing and outfit potential. Maybe it's more about an awareness of what I'm buying.</p> <p>Deb - ooooh didn't even think of the plaster suit. Will have to try that. Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1283928 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 03:42:53 +0000 Deborah 1283928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is beautiful! I can see it worn all sorts of ways. Would it work with your pastel suit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1283927 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 03:42:27 +0000 Mo 1283927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My June is shot, too, Shannon. &nbsp;I'm changing it to July personally. &nbsp;I had some circumstances made me think I had to buy while I could.&nbsp;<br />All in all, if they are good buys, I'm thumbs up for anyone who blew it but didn't risk financial jeopardy in any way, ya know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1283909 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 03:26:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1283909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah...about that Suz...what can I say? It was love at first sight with that blouse, from the time I saw it on one if Angie's round ups to seeing it in the store tonight. I just decided I wasn't going to let it get away. </p> <p>Would it help my justification if I said I think I can wear it into fall with my black blazer, black leather jacket, white leather jacket or blush leather jacket as a topper? </p> <p>Hey Mo - I've blown say no June with the Metalicus dress and this blouse </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1283907 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 03:24:57 +0000 annagybe 1283907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh nice!<br />BCBG does some good stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1283900 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 03:21:35 +0000 MsLuna 1283900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top is beautiful!

Isn't it always the way? For me, it was when I said on Viva's thread that I was done. Ha!! The fashion goddesses woke up and decided to give me a shaking up which resulted in a lighter wallet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1283863 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 02:39:03 +0000 Mo 1283863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, that's pretty! &nbsp;I find BCBG generously cut, too. &nbsp;But I go with it, in a sort of glamorous ease kind of way lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1283858 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 02:35:19 +0000 Anonymous 1283858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gorgeous!&nbsp; I can't wait to see it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-did-and-didnt-buy#post-1283854 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 02:32:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1283854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Earlier this week I had posted about a black leather vest from Danier that I had been crushing on. Sorry I can't link to the post - on my phone.</p> <p>I went tonight and tried it on to get it out of my system. It's a gorgeous vest with that great Danier quality and the gold hardware is classy. But it is not cut for gals with narrow shoulders and who are petite. The underarms are much too deep and the shoulders were wide to the point that the fabric went past my shoulder and I looked like I was wearing epaulettes. So I walked away.</p> <p>On a whim I popped into BCBG to see if they had that lovely drapey blush/black/white blouse Angie had shown us earlier in the season. I normally don't even look in BCBG because their clothes are not made for petites or women with a larger midsection. But I thought what the heck - I'm already out and about. They had the blouse and it's even prettier in real life and has such wonderful movement. I tried the large and the medium and actually the medium was perfect. The blouse is cut generously. As Angie had mentioned, it can be worn untucked in all its glory or tucked. It was 50% off and I bought it. It is not a need and a total "love" purchase. And I couldn't be more pleased. And DH thinks it's beautiful. </p> <p>Already in my pj's so no pics on but you'll see it in action next week. </p>
