I did not get a chance to go to BR today. I had to go to the regular mall to get something for Mother's Day and for some stupid reason the closest BR closes really early on Sundays. Anyway while I was there I tried on some skirt tops. I initially liked this one from Express but it's cut really low in the back and it was a little uncomfortable. I have kind of a round back from bad posture. It also had a shelf bra which I think might be adding unnecessary bulk to my already ample bosom.

Don't mind the skirt. I just grabbed a skirt off the rack because I was wearing jeans and needed a skirt of about the right length to compare with.

BTW Express has some really pretty camisoles out now! I wanted to get some but $24 on a cami is an indulgence for me. They have a lace trim and a very very faint sparkle to them....really subtle and not tacky at all.

Maya, going back to the original AT top you were looking at (not the ATL one). I can vouch for the quality. It is luxurious. I got one in white and it is not even see through, which I find to be the case with all white tops these days. It is definitely not cut to fit snugly though. It fits through the shoulders and then loosely through body. It's quite a step up from a t-shirt I think but still casual. I'll probably get another one.

Maya,. I like that Express top on you..and I don't mind the skirt with it. The top accentuates your bust in a good way, and gives you a tiny waist.

Maya, I love that Express top on you! I hope you got it! The skirt is super cute as well, I think it's the same cut as my blue ombre one on which i had a whole thread a while ago.

Patience, which top do you mean? I had a whole slew of AT tops I was thinking of getting. I do need a top that fits very snug...more than I'm used to, perhaps. I tried on a few today but they were all wrong for various reasons.

I'll give the Express top another try. They're on sale for $19. I have a 20% off coupon for BR so I'll go there and check the top that Angie recommended. Maybe I'll get one of each.

The white skirt is on the website. I have had skirts in the past with pleats like that and they seem to poof out and distort throughout the day and I constantly have to fix them to get them to sit right. It's cute but not practical.

Gorgeous Express top Maya. You look SO hourglass-y in it. Fab colour, neckline and sleeve. I actually really like the entire outfit, but understand that certain box pleats do not stay put.

This is the one I like:

I think you look great in the express top too. But probably not worth it if you find it uncomfortable.
