So I want an Equipment signature shirt. But what color?

Nature white, which would replace my cream silk Vince blouse which is looking a little worn.

Off white, which may or may not be the same color

Turkish Tile. I used to have an H&M blouse in this color and got scads of compliments on it. Plus it's on sale, I can buy it in Portland and save sales tax.

It looks like the Turkish Tile would be a good choice, but teal seems to be popular for fall. Of course white would always handy, but I like the last one the best, plus it's on sale!

Ooh, a toughie. It's hard to go wrong with basic black or white (I have it in black), but I'm a sucker for that dark teal color. But I bet that orange would be fantastic on you!

Turkish Tile! Beautiful color, and lovely sale price Then if you like it lots, you can go for an ivory.

I actually found their ivory (mine was called cosmic sky!) to be sheerer than I like and required a cami. So, I also got the Nexx in ivory and spent 15-20 minutes going back and forth, back and forth, and I kept the Nexx!

I have a few Equipment Signature blouses that I love, but I guess not in ivory!

I love the python! I saw that Neiman Marcus Last Call has some Equipment blouses at great prices. Not sure if your colors or not.

Love the Turkish Tile. It might feel fresher to you for fall. Just a thought but if you still need an ivory, maybe look for something a little more feminine. It seems like it would just be a more interesting basic than the Equipment styling.

Turkish tile! You will get a lot of use out of it in the fall and the price is good. It looks oversized, take that into consideration if you prefer a closer fit.

I would get a Nexx shirt in cream; I saw one of the ladies wearing them at the YLF swap and it looks every bit as good as the Equipment shirts. Heck, it could even be made at the same factory in China. I believe Angie also has written about the quality of the Nexx shirt and it is in the YLF store.

Finally I wanted to say I saw quite a few Equipment silk shirts at Loehmans while I was in LA. Granted they might be slightly dumbed down for Loehmans, or they are dept store overstock. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. They were all $99.

I'm voting against white. I just bought one and I will be returning. You absolutely need a cami. I think I'm exchanging for black. I vote black or the last green one.

Do I even need to add my vote for Turkish tile? (although I'd get the Nature white and a teal sweater because you always will need ivory...)

K. Period.

Anna, I was downtown PDX Nordstrom today at lunch doing a return and popped by to check out the turkish tile in person. It's actually a lot closer to turquoise than teal. Honestly, it was so much lighter that I actually didn't see it at first and I had to check the tag to make sure that I was looking at the right one. Not sure if that makes a difference, but definitely not the same as the website.

Actually, looking at the NEXX blouse, the Equipment one is almost identical in person in color to the turquoise NEXX one.

Oh boy...you do NOT make this easy.

I LOVE LOVE the Turkish Tile, but I have to say that the snakeskin that Sunita posted just screams Anna to me....

Coco, what a great alternative at a great price. Thanks for passing that on.

I want to say Turkish tile, but I can see you in the orange. The orange on you would feel fresh to me.

Thanks k can shop. I have to go to downown store anyways to pick a fluoro orange dress I ordered. I look at it in person then and decide. After MaryK and others problems with laundrying and even dry cleaning the Nexx blouse I'd rather stay away.

I'm a real outlier here in not loving the Turkish Tile, but the Everglade color (from the first link) is gorgeous.

I love Equipment blouses. I have five I believe, yikes! I'm on an Equipment ban for now because it is a very distinctive silhouette, and you can only wear it so often.
So I'd view your collection as a whole before adding one. I'm understanding that this is your first, so I'd get something really different. It sounds like you have white/cream, so I'd do the teal. It goes great with black or denim. I have a (non Equipment) dark teal top like this and I love to wear it with denim shorts in summer and black skinnies in the fall.
