Battle of the Shells

Rosie

I am trying to get some more blouses and would like some sleeveless ones. I'm going to try a couple solids but wanted a print or two. I don't know if any of these will fit me because I often swim in plus size tops, but I'm not opposed to getting alterations.

Which do you like/dislike? Which do you think would be most versatile?

I like the first two very much! And I believe these count as "blouses," with all the advantages cited by Angie in today's blog post, so there's that.

I vote for the second one, because it's silk.

My favorite is the first one. It would be lovely with white or denim jeans or clams. It says "summer". But the second one has more year-round potential under a jacket or cardi as well as for hot summer days. I like the colors in the third one but personally don't care for the that print. It's just personal preference.

Good call on the silk. It's also on sale and three inches shorter than the others which is good for me. Even 28 inches is long on me as my waist is 18" from my shoulder.

Yes, silk is so comfortable and airy.

Rosie, I like them all, but I think the first one would look lovely with your coloring, followed by the third. They'll be breezy and cool this summer!

I'm going to be obnoxious: get them all.

Ahhh haha... well, I may try them all. But keeping them all probably is not an option unless I make some extra money soon!

I vote #1. Was there consensus?

I think the colors in the first top would be divine on you. That one is my favorite by far.

Pretty much the first one! Khris suggested the second one due to it being silk and helpful Marianna said get all three. I think I will do the first two and see how they work out! Personally, I've been attracted to the first one for a while and think I would get most wear out of that one and the second one.

Thank you all!

I vote #1, I think it will go best with your eyes and the colors are nice for now. But in dead of winter, you'll REALLY like having a pop of color after wearing dark colors for a while.

Ha ha, Lisa, we don't really have "dead of winter" here where I live. But good thinking nonetheless!
