I agree that a blazer is a great idea but even for me it always remains just that. It's something I never reach for--I'd rather be comfortable. Those tops are polished and look cozy--things I'm sure you will enjoy and reach for often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-what-i-returned#post-2074317 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 03:57:22 +0000 Cee 2074317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Listen to your gut... unless you overdosed on Mexican... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-what-i-returned#post-2074309 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 02:54:25 +0000 notsaf 2074309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute!

They are currently favorite at almost every brand/store - but almost all double breasted and loose - they make me feel very square and not sleek and stylish.&nbsp;<br />Your new top picks look lovely and I'm going to check out that stripy top from Gap. I think "emotional' shopping is right tool to use - I often do it too. Waiting to see your pictures with new tops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-what-i-returned#post-2074180 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 18:43:03 +0000 nuancedream 2074180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cute are both of those tops! I love a balloon sleeve as long as it's not too voluminous. I bet that green top looks smashing with your hair and skin tone, torontogirl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-what-i-returned#post-2074178 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 18:30:43 +0000 Helena 2074178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hiya, well, every once so often I go on a real shopping spree and this last month has been it. Having already made a few purchases to update my fall/winter wardrobe, I went to return one item and ended up buying two! *sigh*</p> <p>Back went the oversized plaid blazer. I think this was a really nice piece, it worked with my style and current wardrobe, and it met my goal of trying something a little new and different and seemed stylish and on-trend in a classic way - and <i>I had no desire to wear it. </i>Normally I'd blame the weather but we've had an ideal fall - and yet it sat in the bag, not even pulled out to try. Back it went for someone else to love and wear! I don't totally know why; I just know that I was happier to have that money to spend on something else than I was to have the actual blazer - emotions for the win.</p> <p>Of course while doing that, I spotted a couple of things - first on the way past Banana Republic, I spotted the perfect volume-sleeve top for me - a subtle balloon sleeve in a gorgeous deep green which suits me well. I had to resist buying the burgundy also, but if it's true love, I'll keep that option open to me. Then at Gap (where I had to do the actual return haha), I spotted another top, striped, fluid, but with a tie waist that enabled me to give it a more polished look when I tried it on.</p> <p>The common denominator seems to be a fluid fit with some tailoring/fittedness at the ends (sleeves, waist/hipline), which appeals to me right now, a bit of a change from my norm but subtly so. I am excited to wear both these tops, so that's good enough!</p> <p>And now I'm REALLY done shopping for fall/winter *knocks on wood*</p> <p> </p>
