Which blouse (if any)?

I am looking for a chiffon blouse. I realized I've been getting a lot of basics and filling in holes but that is leaving me with too many neutrals and not enough 'pizazz' in the closet. So I'm looking for some color to brighten things up. Which of these would you choose for me? Keep in mind I don't do the office thing and live a casual life But I still want to have some flair!

In pic #1 I am looking at the pink blouse.

Thanks for your help!

I love the 1st one and think with your coloring you'd look great in pink!

Oooh, I *love* #3!

I adore #1 and could see you wearing #3 as well.

Where is #1 from if I may ask (said ever so innocently since I'm SYC...)

LOL - I am laughing at Kim's remarks!
I LOVE #2 - #3 is a close 2nd for me - it looks quite sheer doesn't it? I think #3 is more your style than #2 - but, like I said - I LOVE #2!

I prefer #3, but I am currently broken up from ruffles so that might be biasing my opinion. That shade of pink(in #1) is very pretty and seems to be one of the "it" colors of spring.

2 for the win, with 3 in a close second.

I don't care for 1 that much.

Mo, I'm not loving any of these, but I tend to make a final call when I see someone wearing the item... Have you narrowed it down to these three? I wish these were on a model, so I could see how they fall. You deserve a chiffon blouse, though!

#2 looks the most current.

I don't love any of them, but no 1 is close for me. However no 2 seems more casual and laid-back so that might fit better with your style requirements.

I like pink #1 and #3 is bright and fun with maybe a white or tan blazer or cardi.

I see you wearing #2 more than the others. I like it a lot!

I like them all (obviously, I picked 'em out lol!) but each in a slightly different way. I ended up getting #1 on impulse sort of because it was the very last one left! I can return it if it doesn't work, even though it is an eBay purchase. I was drawn to #2 but realized I have several looser trapeze style tanks so I kind of have that base covered. #3 I wasn't sure if it was too bold in coloring or not. Also, the sheerness means a second layer which could do me in this summer. But I do like the springy feel of it and might just have to take it home, too!
I don't have any ruffles in my closet, save for my green cashmere cardigan with very loose ruffling around the edges. So I don't have the ruffle overdose many of you might Quite the contrary, I needed something more feminine and blousy but that I could wear in a smarter casual, not business, way - if that makes sense.
Thanks for all the comments - it helped me to dial in what I was looking for. I find it interesting that the votes were pretty evenly split. I'm thinking I might try this top with my new tan platform sandals . . .

Oh, Kim, #1 was originally from Overstock I deduced by the photo set up, but it's no longer on their site. This one is on eBay, and they have the other colors still but no more pink.

Thanks Mo, you probably saved my SYC experiment by buying the last pink one! LOL

Well, Kim, I saw that they relisted it, so that must mean they have more than one - sorry to re tempt you! (hey, it's only $10 - does that really count as SYC breaking?)

Number 3 is by far my favorite - especially as you say the goal is to spice up your wardrobe. From what I see of your hair color, I think it would also be a flattering choice - go for it!

(Being me, however, I love Number 1 ... in black. *grin*)

ticksgirl

I like them all, and would be interested in knowing where #2 is from? But I agree that based on what we've seen of your style and also on your statement that you're looking for color, I vote #3 for you. Great finds!

I like them all! Order the lot in and experiment.

Ha! I love Angie's response! So true! They are all gorgeous! I have to say that that shade of pink in #1 and #2 can be tricky to wear. If your skin tone isn't just right, it washes you out like beige.
