I really like it! Semi-tucking reigns in some of the volume. I *think* maybe the picture quality isn't doing it justice? It looks quite different on website.

I also noticed the model had rolled the sleeves which you could try too if puffy sleeves aren't your jam.

I love it! But then again, I tend to lean boho, too, so I'm an enabler. I say keep it. I'm not one to tuck in anything, so I can't advise there. I either surrender the waist or wear a belt over an untucked blouse. My advice to you is to do what works with your body type and personality.

I've purchased a couple of tops that are similar to that one, and am trying not to go OTT boho, if you know what I mean. That's not easy now that my fussy feet have forced me into Alegria classic clogs, which in turn have put me in wider legged pants that are longer in length.

Oh well. What can I say? I'm gonna end up looking like a hippie in spite of myself, I'm afraid. Then again, I'm only 4.5 years away from retirement and I work in a casual office, so I don't really have to worry about what direction my style takes as long as I'm comfy and happy.

I like it a lot and prefer it semi-tucked. I think also that it seems a bit less boho semi-tucked than untucked.

I'm not a fan of the puffy and wide sleeves. They make the overall top look wide.

I like it, and I like it semi tucked. Not too boho at all!

Kinda interesting. I like it best semi tucked, but there is something with the sleeves that's bothering me. I think a gathered neck PLUS puffy/full sleeves is one gather too many - ??

I do like the boho vibe for summer. In the picture it looks wide, but #2 does
rein it in, like Mala said. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I like this top, I like the sleeves rolled like the link shows.

I like it best in its boho state, untucked and sleeves down. However, if you really feel the need to reign it in, then I think you will also have to push/roll the sleeves up along with semi-tucking or it looks neither here nor there.

It looks very different from what I remember of your perfectly edited work wardrobe, but I like it! It seems earthy and relaxed, and looks great with your cropped skinny black pants and sandals. I like it semi-tucked. Nice find.

You guys are pretty much tracking my thoughts...roughly 6:2 for;-).

Mala, thanks for pointing out the rolled sleeves on the website. I just copied the link without really looking. I will give that a go tomorrow. I'm a bit better with wide sleeves/wider look since my waist surrendered itself this past year;-).

Lisa, I think you nailed it with the gathers. They feel a bit too dainty/feminine. I do like everything else about it though. Can I get past this? Maybe sleeve rolling will help.

Thanks for all your thoughts!

I like it semi-tucked and I think the neckline is pretty on you. I'm not crazy about the untucked look in this photo but I have a sense maybe the picture isn't telling the whole story here. So experiment away if it is high happiness factor!

Well I like it... but I'm biased - the very same top is sitting in a box on my desk waiting for me to try on when I go upstairs. I agree with Aida -it looks great untucked. I also like how the fullness is reined in with the semi tuck but think I might roll the sleeves when it's tucked.

I love it, and I love that it is cotton too. (I do lean boho.) I prefer untucked. The only thing that would worry me would be the elasticized cuffs. Not from a looks perspective, more about comfort. They tend to bug me in summer. I like the idea of rolling them.

I am not so keen on it.... The neckline suits very well. I am not sure of the sleeves. But if you like it, then go for it. It looks cool and breezy, a huge plus.

Wow! Didn't think I'd see this here! This is designed like what we call a 'kurti' in India. Essentially, it's a tunic length topic that women of all age sport in India. It's considered boho and feminine and pretty, and that neckline is quite lovely on you

Kurtis are worn with skinny pants quite a lot, but since many Indian women are pear shaped, they are equally popular with wide leg pants - like bootcuts or palazzos.

I also get the feel that you should try the top with lighter bottoms. Try it with white.

I'll find some images of how to style kurtis and add.

I really like it on you! I don't see a line that you have crossed. I especially like it semi-tucked, too.

Oh, and I think the collar is flattering. It looks like a little bit of a tailored version of a peasant blouse neckline, with the band and split opening.

Maneera, thanks for the peak at the Kurtis. So pretty. I'm crazy about the red one. BTW, I had on white jeans when I tried it on originally. They're straight legs, so I wanted to try with some skinnies when I got home. I should have snapped a picture with the white as well.

The elastic on the sleeves is not arm-grabbing, if that makes sense. Even if I pull the sleeves up to my elbows, the elastic isn't tight enough to stay put. I'll definitely try rolling tomorrow and hopefully get a pic with the white jeans.

Keep and wear. Boho is trending, so why not?

I picked up a cotton peasant top from the Kohl's Milly collaboration. I really enjoy wearing this type of loose top. So out of experience with wearing this type of top in hot weather this season. I say yes. I think it will look great with white bottoms, as the black is kind of heavy for Summer. (But looks good none-the-less.)

One of my favorite aspects of this type of top is that it can be worn as a tee shirt replacement with the same level of comfort/coolness, but with more style and the pleasure of a change-up. (Fabric care might be another story but I have a reasonably priced cleaner!)

OT but Maggie is doing well! Sometimes she over-runs when we let her out at 6 am but she has lots of down time to recuperate. She is still enjoying the supplements you sent because I keep forgetting to give them to her...

Semi tucked is fantastic! A different look for you but the tuck makes it less in your face boho to my boho loving eyes...

You will find this style of top to be really comfortable and breezy, Carter. I know just what you mean with the sleeves, because this is a common style. There basically is no elastic - the fabric is just hemmed with 3/4th length sleeve, right? These sleeves are usually left just the way they are since they can't be scrunched up. Or, roll/fold them like you would for a button down shirt worn casually. These tops also look excellent with capri pants/denims and shorts.

The first thing I noticed when I looked at pic #1 was a strong impression of vertical stripes. The semi-tuck in pic #2 lessens the stripe impression. Is a striped pattern a design that's "you"? If not, that may be one of the factors to consider in whether to keep this top.

I ordered a similar top from Nordies and sent it back...I am just not the BOHO type woman...I look better in a more classic look...
I think you and I are alike in our style selection...

Denise, I'm thrilled Maggie is doing so well! Thanks for the update.

My husband loves the top, so it's staying. Now to figure out how best to wear it.

I like them all , with the exceptions of 2 and 3 ...My favourite is with the cocoa coloured shorts! I know I commented earlier about the full sleeves, but really, this is a cute top. Also like the idea of it with the pink pants - takes it out of the predictable

I really like it too! Glad you're keeping it. My favourites are the looks with the white pants and with the shorts.
