Keep or return Anna Sui Lace boho blouse

Sorry for the dark photos. Late in the evening. I'm wearing a pink tank top under it to heighten the contrast. Normally I'd wear a black camisole.
The wind blew up the peplum in the last photo.
First off it fits, I was terribly afraid it would be too small given what I've heard about Anna Sui.
It's from Gilt. I can exchange it for credit.
I like it, it could be a bit bigger, but then I think the peplum would be out of control.

ummm...not my fave look on you. that peplum is too unstructured and a bit too boho.

bj1111, I do have a boho streak, it doesn't come out often but it's there.

I'm not loving the silhouette in #1. I realize the lighting is bad but isn't that how it would look at a party, dark bar etc?

I like it in #2 where I can see it best, and I would love to see you style it, but seeing you in slippers is sort of throwing me off.

you know, it did occur to me that you had a (thin) boho streak after i hit send.

what is important is that you feel comfortable in it. especially if you are using credits to get your fashion fix until you can go off syc.

I do have a Boho streak so I like it. I agree though the sleeves look off in the first picture, but in the second I like them. I think you can play with different cami colors, neons might be fun. Black would be class, nude would be alluring, cobalt somewhere in between.

I think it's cute, the size looks spot on. How is the fit when you flex your arms, that is my true test. If things are tight in the armpits, I'll never reach for it.

I also wanted to say you look especially slender in those jeans!

I love boho so I vote keep.

Im so not boho but I do appreciate the look. I think its a pretty top and the fit looks good to me. I would love to know how you plan to wear it. I think that would give be a better sense of what you are going for.

I appreciate a little boho once in a while too. It's fun, casual and light! I do like how it looks in pic 2. Do you love it?

I think it's gorgeous on you Anna - I love the details on the blouse and I like the fit.

I likey. I think wearing it with a non-black cami looks good too.

How does it feel? Since you range all over I do think this top could work for you. You already know, style it the way you were going to for us to actually see the full effect please.

It's a pretty blouse but it's not the most flattering look you've shown us. With your arms down, the sleeves are even with the bottom of the blouse, creating a wide horizontal line. Then again, you probably rarely stand with your arms straight down at your sides!

I like it (!) I'd be interested to see it styled with the femininity played up, because of course you like to indulge my whims... hehe

K. Period.

From what I can see, it looks good. You and I share broad shoulders, so I appreciate how a slightly snug fit can work for us, where it wouldn't for others. It also looks like it is nipped in nicely at the waist. It is hard to tell, since it is black, but from what I can see, it looks good. (BTW, I love the pink tank under it. It gives it a vintage lingerie look, which is a look I find particularly sexy without being too overt. A good date night, not trying to hard, sexy look.)

I think I like it! The black makes it less Full-throttle Boho, IYKWIM. I think it's a great version of your inspiration piece.

LOVE it on you but I also have a boho streak. I like the fit. I can see you getting good wear out of this.

I really like it and I would wear it. The sleeves in particular are super fab!

Anonymous

I like it too, plus, you are one of those people who have an ability to style about anything to make it look right and on trend. I vote keep. I'm sure you'll come up with a super fab outfit with it.

I like it from what I can see! I do think looser would be even more boho, but I kind of like the more restrained vibe it has this way. That last photo is SO descriptive of our crazy winds yesterday!! Did you get any snow in Seattle? We had 55F at noon with insane winds, then later hail and finally light snow and 34F by the time I left work at night -_-

It is a beautiful intricate blouse. I want to see it with the gold shorts for some reason (maybe just that they are gilt'y by association). No really, I am not suggesting that just for an excuse to make a terrible pun, I would love to see a long-short juxtaposition. Or you could go full boho with cut offs and sandals. And beachy blond hair waves.
