I hear you, Laura. I don't disagree that poufy, gathered things are not me. I like clean and simple. However, I am seriously trying to loosen up a bit;-) I should add that I feel this way about asymmetry too, but I have bought a couple tops with asymmetric hems and am starting to kind of like them. I'll be living at the beach in a year or so, so battling the type A, anal retentive thing is a long, slow process!
Thanks so much everyone for giving me ideas how to wear this top. My husband really thinks it's great, so it will definitely see some date nights!
