I have tried about 30 bold striped tops in the last two weeks or so since Lantana help me to realize from my pinboard I might like to add a bold stripe, not necessarily only breton stripes (although I like those too, I already have three breton striped tops).

I struggle with stripes that dont match at the shoulder or neckline so and this Zara top has an interesting pieced front as opposed to printed.

The weight is that of a light sweater... So onto the reason for the K/R... length. Also does the shoulder looks to narrow? The seams sit exactly on the boney part of my shoulder but my upper arms are rather muscular so the upper sleeve hugs whereas the lower sleeve hangs.

I would wear a black cami tucked in under it to avoid the belly peek in #5. But otherwise does the fact that it is short and intentionally boxy work with jeans? And... just when I have almost gotten rid of my thrifted "too short with pants tops" here I am buying new short tops.... (Maybe i just like them?)

I am wearing the largest size so no option for sizing up for more length. This is a K/R so give it to me straight. I am trying to be super picky in purchasing right now and only choosing things that well made, well fitting and are current. Hence this is the only contendor of the 17 from Zara and none of the 12 from TJMaxx even came home. I am considering a Vince one from NAS (twice the price though... http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....te/3496391). Thanks for your feedback

ETA: Not really styled here but in reality I would probably wear pretty similar to how I have it here, but with the cami under. I will brush my hair and add shoes (and even get my jeans hemmed up properly!)
