Advice please: fall white tunic choices ETA: try ons at The Bay

I am on the hunt for a white blouse in a fabric that I can wear into fall, maybe even winter. Something long as I plan to wear as a tunic, or at least not tucked in, over skinnies , tube or pencil skirts, maybe evebn leggings. Might layer over it with a blazer or jean jacket.
It is to stand in for my linen one, pictured here.
Any thoughts about these ones at The BAy (below in Finds)- thanks, Greg for getting the Bay on YLF Collect! I don't know if anyone has seen these IRL, I may head over to the BAy today for a quick browse.
Thanks for your advice, Fabbers! I am open to other suggestions as well.

ETA:The other piece I might layer over it is the Trouve vest (Sveta twin!).

Tried on a few pieces at The Bay - it was really fun to be shopping for something specific instead of aimlessly browsing. Anyway I focussed on lord and Taylor and had some success:

BUT NOT WITH THE PHOTOS! I have no idea why these are coming up sideways. I downloaded from my phone and rotated and saved and they come up sideways. So please turn your tablet/computer screen sideways if you can.Will keep trying!

Pic 1 - cotton shirt, XL, basic fit, a little boxy but fits the length requirement

Pic 2: A v neck blouse, silky polyester, nice

Pic 3 and 4: silk twill in finds below, size XL, gorgeous drape in back

I like the style of the State Chiffon Poplin Tunic best for your tall frame and the seasons you have in mind. The chiffon sleeves give me pause - I would freeze. Although I run soooo cold and am biased. You might be fine wearing this type of top in a heated inside environment.

Thanks, Angie. I liked the mixed media element to that one too! I am not too cold in winter - mostly indoors and moving around a lot, so I am usually OK. Plus, there are always the heated blankets that are available in the hospital (we really do try to just use those for the patients of course).

Hah.

I keep on forgetting how warm they keep hospitals. Then you will fine. I vote try that one. xo

OOOOOOOH. So glad you got that gillet. Inge did too. So gorgeous.

He-he, I thought exactly like Angie: love the style of State Chiffon Poplin Tunic but sheer sleeves while lovely would be too cold for me!
I am afraid others would be too short in front for you Nicole.
Please report back if you scout The Bay!

Yeah, the State one is my favourite too. Streamlined, sleek and chic.

Nice collection! I need a white top/blouse too. Thanks for collecting these. Off to see if some are available in plus.

Love the first one!

I think The Lord and Taylor one would be worth trying too. If it's a good quality silk twill then the price is fantastic.

Sorry again about sideways pics. If anyone is interested I will reveal which - if any- of these came home with me.
Alana: Lord and Taylor does have a plus line (as you probably know - they may have some of these styles there too). I do size up a bit in L and T tops, mostly for the fit across the bust, and because I like a loose fit on top )like most apples I suspect).

Of course we are interested. xo

I love the striped pullover - but I know you're looking for a white tunic.

Glad you like the sweatshirt! I bought it yesterday, so it is already in my closet. I had never heard of Wilt brand before. Their stuff is comfy and has a nice fit.

I liked the v neck best, to be a little less covered up. Which did you choose?

And like the overlapping stripes in the sweatshirt as well.

So I did get the cotton one - it was marked down to $17!
Also, I did get the silk twill. I was captivated by the light feel and luxurious drape as well as the soft off white. I liked the V neck too, and I liked the tabbed sleeves, but I had to leave something behind. Maybe if it goes on sale later....

I like the V neck but they all look nice and the third one has great detailing on the back. Perhaps the V will come on sale or you can use that code. LOL

the sweater is really nice too. The detail on the back is really interesting.

I really like the silk twill so I am glad you got it. Love the striped pullover, too. Can you tell I am a total sucker for back detail?

I also think the cotton one will be useful. And at that price, why the heck not? You can use it as an at home shirt if nothing else!
