I love bats, and other tops....

#1 found this at the Rack today, a Bobeau comfy batwing top, I really like this style, seems to help my broadshoulder self-conciousness. The colors are hard to see but they are black, gray and creme.

#2-4 Salmon color Pleione blouse. I think I like it better belted, what do you think.

#3 Phoebe and Kim's Hinge blouse. Not sure if the colors love me, but I love them. They only had mediums left and the sleeve length may be a little short, otherwise, what do you think. I tied a loose bow with the ties, is that right?
Hoping for 10's,

the batwing top is a definite 10 on you Carole
i'm not as crazy about the other 2 blouses actually. Something about the shine and the cut of the Pleione blouse is not quite there for me. I like it better belted than not.
And I"m not 100% sure of the coloring of the Hinge blouse on you. I't's not bad, but I've seen you in colors that are better. I need to reexamine mine as well as I know they are not the easiest colors to wear.

Love #1 on you! I don't care for either the style or the color of #2 on you, and #3 is okay but don't think it's a 10.

I really love the first two tops! I think the black and white print one looks great, and I really think the salmon one is fab! Love the color on you and the silhouette! I much prefer it unbelted; I could see it looking smashing with white capris or jeans. The third one isn't doing it for me, but I'm not sure why exactly....

I prefer the first two tops. I think the Pleione blouse looks best unbelted, too. You wear that color so well!

#1-Great top, keep.
#2-Great color and I don't mind either version, keep.
#3-After seeing the other two on you, this one does not compare for fit or colors/print, I vote return.

I think there could be a place in the wardrobe for all.
I would like to see the Hinge blouse under a denim jacket:)

Thanks everyone, kind of split on blouse 2 and 3. I have not had good luck finding blouses, I have no clue why not.ni was thinking the 2 nd blouse would be cute styled like Jonesy suggests, with white jeans or slacks or dark denim. I have a black bf jacket I can wear with 3 but I would like it to look ok without too.

I really like the first and third, not going to chime in one the second as I don't have a good silhouette eye but the colour is great.

The third looks to me like it will really come into it's own in the autumn. When all nature is a riot of colour this will look even more fresh and inviting.

Love them all. IKWYM about the bat wing softening the shoulder line. I picked up a few knit versions this summer too. I really love the fit of the Hinge--very flattering through the shoulders. Love the waist surrendering look of the raglan too--that seems to help minimize shoulders too.

I like them all on you! The first top is perfect right now, just add sandals (any heel height) or flats. I feel the second blouse needs a more polished shoe (again heel height doesn't matter). The third blouse looks really versatile and I like those colors on you. You could wear it with a blazer and skinny jeans or denim jacket and bootcut jeans. (Or vice versa, I m just seeing it that way in my head at the moment.)

Oh and the second blouse might look really nice tucked into a knee length or midi pencil skirt and a pair of killer heels.

Carole, I love the first two! Beautiful! The colours in the third are not working, to my eye....sorry, I know you love them. Perhaps Taylor and Angie's suggestions of a jacket will work well?

I'm not so crazy for both the pronounced fullness and the color of the second top.
It's the peony that doesn't seem to me to be "your" color. OTOH, I'm not one who believes that photos don't lie. It's hard to judge from photos and there is also the
stillness factor.

But, same conditions apply, I think #3 is super. I love this palette on you and
I like the fit of it that shows off your figure. I like the size of the print, too. Do try
it under the denim and various jackets, as well.

What Taylor and Angie said- the third is a shape that needs a layer. The first two are fab!!

Love 1 and 2. 2 looks great belted and unbelted. Would love to see it with no belt and a long necklace:). 3 is lovely, however I'm also not sure about the colours on you but I do understand that sometimes colours look brighter etc in real life than in a picture. If you like it and feel good on it then it's a keeper. You look lovely.

I like #1 and #2 (belted).
Not to crazy about #3 but I tend to shy away from pattern shirts. (more of a solid girl)
