For those who know me, would this VC top work?

Ever since Angie posted this Vince Camuto faux wrap top, I've been thinking about it. Here's the original link: VC

I like the higher neckline, the two prints she mentioned and the three-quarter length sleeves. Angie's idea of wearing it with a jacket and pants or jeans is a great idea and seems to fit with my lifestyle. If it's a yes, do you see one of the prints that would work?

Thanks for helping me to shop, or not!

Such a pretty top and I really like the pattern. Can you wear wrap tops (or faux wraps)? I have trouble wearing them with my straight-ish shape, but this looks like it could be very flattering. The higher neckline and 3/4 length sleeves are also a big plus.

I have it or a similar one in 2 prints and I like the high V neckline compared to wraps that open a lot lower. Barely need a tank top under.

I so wanted that print one Angie linked to. Already sold out in my size!

I love wrap tops, then I am a pear/hourglass and these are amazingly flattering. I always thought wrap tops looked frumpy based on seeing the on models. I can on early say they work great with my curves.

It is Nordies. You can always try it and return it if it doesn't work.

Long time lurker here, need to post more - anyway, saw your post and wanted to tell you that I tried this on last week (in 1x plus) and the neckline was really high on me. Like as high if not higher than the model on the Nordies website on the "geo print" photo.

The fabric is beautiful and I so wanted it to work, but it just didn't for me. Perhaps I just need more neck area exposed.

You should still try it, like Thistle said, you can try and return if it doesn't work out.

Also I noticed they do not show it in the plus size online but the store I was visiting did have it in multiple fabrics. Geo print for sure, don't recall the others.

Good luck!

You need a bust to fill it out - has been my experience fitting this top. You have that covered. I vote try it.

Gosh, Vicki, I have yet to see you look bad in anything, and I think this would be great on you.

It certainly fits your style! And, as Angie said, it would work with your body-type. What 2 prints are you debating on?

The B&W animal print and the brighter geoprint. I was thinking that either choice may work with black, denim or red bottoms. I just wasn't sure is the print would be too overwhelming on me.

That IS the beauty of Nordstrom that we can try these lovely Angie picks and enjoy a hassle-free return, if needed. Thank you for your opinions and actual experiences with it.

I can totally see you in this! Animal print? Blue stars??

I think you can pull off those prints because of your bubbly personality. If you think they are too much, how about the teal star print? The teal would bring out the blue of your eyes.

I like this for you! I think the first two, larger scale prints are more "you" than the smaller prints.

This style also comes in Petites in (I think) solid black and (?) solid white; not print .

Donna, this one seems to have a similar fit, available in more colours:

And I love the print and colours of this one:

Vicki: I can really see you in the two bold patterns, both could work for your style I think. With your new "mod" hairdo I'm very curious to see you in the geo print.
