Help my choose my NEXXt blouse + my NEXXt question.

#1) Cruise

#2) Ibiza Blue

Sorry the pics are so grainy - DH is out of town, tripod is missing, and I needed to have natural light. This is the best I could do!

#3/4) The hibiscus blouse I own - if I had these blouses shortened in the back, could I wear them with skinnies untucked? What do you think of this idea?

ETA: It seems to long to me in the back. But maybe others disagree?

My vote is for Cruise - very pretty color for you and you don't have anything in it yet, right?
As for the red blouse I don't understand why you cannot wear it with skinnies untucked as-is: this is my favorite way to wear them with skinnies. It is not overly long on you at all - just covers the butt which is a perfect length IMO. Are you hesitant because it is longer in the back - but this is the style and I love it.

I vote for Cruise, since it is a more unique color. I was bothered by the lower back hem too but now I am used to it.

I like both equally. I think shorter would be nice, but not if it's cost prohibitive.

Psssss Keep them BOTH!!!

But if you have to choose, take the green because you have nothing like it.

With the back hem, are you concerned because you feel it shortens the leg line? I have this concern, personally. I think with a bit (not much, just a bit) of a wedge, you might not feel that way. It seems a shame to chop such a lovely piece of fabric if there is a way to make it work as is.

Cruise! I love that green color on you, and I can't wear it as well, so please wear it for me. Truth be told the blue is lovely too. These are ALL your colors!

I would wear the hibiscus shirt as is - no shortening required. It looks stunning on you and would work brilliantly with skinnies at this length.

As for green or blue, I really like both on you. I would choose the colour that is the most versatile with your wardrobe.

I like both colors but have a slight preference for the first (Cruise?).

The Jjill blouses have a very similar fit (longer in the back, about the same length as your silk blouse), and I am wearing them with skinnies. So to me, the length looks fine as is.

Thanks, ladies! Cruise is in the lead. That was my choice, as well.

And I'm so glad that I don't have to shorten that hem. I will leave it as is. And Suz, you're right. If I wear my new Cole Haan wedges, that will help lengthen the line.

Thank you all!

Cruise and no cutting of the hem. My runs long and it's staying there wherever there is.

Don't mean to be difficult, but I really like the blue! The green is lovely also though. Leave the hem!

Cruise, keep it long!

The blue is gorgeous, but I see the color before I see your face. The green, I see you first

Another vote for the cruise - lovely color on you!! I'm getting tempted by all this Nexx blouse love going on. I was worried about the length on me also but it looks great on you! How tall are you sarah?
