Keep or return: silk Anthro top and e-bay jacket

The e-bay jacket can't be returned. It is white and really hard to photograph! It reminds me of Mo and I like it, I just need to figure out how to style it if it's a keeper. White is definitely way out of my comfort zone.

The silk top is this one from Anthro (and when I went to check out, there was an additional 25% discount!) - I got three colors and two sizes to try. It is actually a very nice red in the pink side. This is the smaller size. Is it too voluminous? Be honest, as I can't afford more unuseable tops!

Bonus photos of me in my Saturday errands outfit, with and without crazy jacket.

I have one other thing to post but I have to recharge the camera...

The white jacket is awesome! Just scrunch up the sleeves and you are all set!
The pink shirt is very pretty. I'm usually not a fan of the cap sleeves but I think the volume on these works. Cool saturday jacket!

Mo ernestly approves of the Mo jacket lol. Don't be afraid of the white - it's great on you. Still love the crazy mod print coat, too!

Love the shirt.

Love the white jacket.

Love the crazy jacket - did you have it altered? It seems to fit much better!

Angie, I had it steamed and a button put in as you and others suggested instead of the tie belt. It is a kray-zee jacket but I do love it anyway!

Fab X3!! That shirt looks awesome on you, so does the new white Mo jacket, and so does that amazingly fantastic orange and purple coat! Fun fact: My first bike was an orange and purple number with a banana seat. Aaah, the '70s. Okay, back to you and your new duds. You could wear that white jacket over so many things! It would look great over that new pink top, I'm betting.

Love the hot pink top and the white jacket. Your Krazy jacket is very cool too.

Could you put the white jacket with an orphaned skirt? I think the one you posted earlier would work with it but you might need a colored shirt.

Una, that pink Anthropologie top is the same one that I tried on in green in one of my many "silky 70's tops" posts. I loved the color but did not like what my bust did to the shirt. The shape looks much better on you. I don't think it's too voluminous - it drapes very well on your frame, and I remember how awesome the fabric was.
Try the jacket over your new Anthropologie blouse!

I think you look great in all of these pictures. First off, I love the color of your jeans. They look like a nice blue and the fading is done in an attractive way, really brightens them up.
The pink/red top is beautiful, the white Ebay jacket is beautiful, and the Kray-zee coat is beautiful. Your black sweater and jeans look so cool on you too. I like that cozy look.

Jonesy, I loved my banana seat bike! Mine was a glittery turquoise, the "Spyder" as I recall... remember popping wheelies? Sticking playing cards in your spokes? I have many scars from attempting stunts, and also biking straight into curbs.

LOL--I started to look for an image of a banana-seated bike to link to, then I said, "Nah, Una will totally know exactly what I'm talking about." Sticking cards in your spokes was the COOLEST. Glittery turquoise sounds amazing! The '70s were so colorful and jazzy!

You are my waist-surrendering inspiration! I must learn how to copy these looks. You look fabulous - love the blouse, the white jacket and I can't tell you how much I LOVE that coat in #3!!!!

Veteran

yellowgirl, waist surrendering is the EASIEST style IMHO...

Optional step 1: Have no waist.
Step 2: Let it go.

You can do it. It's become my savior in terms of comfortable style I can feel good about embracing.

Love the Anthro top. Can we see the other colors? It looks like a workhorse.

And... I want that colorful jacket/coat. It is very you, and it is also very me. (Picture Venn diagram with CL and AK's style segments intersecting.)

Una, may I just say that you look so lovely with your hair tied back (in a bun in photo 4?). I think that you look so polished and casually elegant.

The Anthro top is a a huge thumbs up from me (see your orphan 2 midi skirt thread) and the white jacket looks super, too.

BTW: If you EVER decide to ditch that coat, it may fly South and I would wear it EVERY SINGLE DAY. I LOVE IT. And your alterations were well done.

Heather, thank you. *blushing beet red* I have been growing my hair and it is so nice to be able to yank it back - I am horribly lazy about styling my hair.

The jacket is one of my favorite thrifted finds! The brand is "OOPS!" and it is clearly from the 60s based on the label style, but I scored it at Value Village for $6.99! If I ever release it, I will certainly put it up for grabs here...
