Related to Janet's "do I want to wear this" post- I have these 3 problematic neutral print blouses. I wear them because they go with denim, brown, and black pants, and they work well for mild winter and transitional days. But none of them feel fab.
Blouse 1- the cognac, teal print has the nicest shape. It's long enough to be bum covering, so can be worn with more of my pants. But- it has these gold studs which make it feel more Western and it's poly, which I would rather not wear.
Blouse 2- black, brown, navy has a print that I love, and the fabric is nicer. But it is quite short and Very voluminous in front. I thought I could tame it by clipping the back or wearing a vest over, but neither worked well.
Blouse 3- the beige, navy floral matches my pants. I thought I'd wear them together, but it's A Lot. Tried a vest over, but it was like having a vest over pajamas. The length and boxiness are just not great on my shape, though I love the print. It may be ok with a narrow skirt, but by the time it's warm enough for skirts, it's too warm for sleeves.
Can someone lend me a magic wand to turn these 3 not quite right blouses into 1 or more that's perfect for me?
I swear most of my wardrobe feels like this!
