Which blouse of these two? - YouLookFab Forum

I check the Zara homepage from time to time and I've seen two blouses that I like. I think both have great colors and pattern, they call to my inner Bohemian Hippie. I don't have many blouses that fit, so that is something I want to change.

Do you think these are to wide and boxy to tuck in? If I can't wear them with a skirt I'm not sure I should get them. Although they could look good with skinny jeans (I still have to get new ones) and boots. I'm not sure which one is better and I don't want to buy anything from Zara I don't intend to keep, because they only do vouchers for returns.

I'm not so sure about the collar on this one, although I like the neckline. I find it always difficult to wear other layers and scarves with this type of collar.

Is this too boxy? I'm not one to surrender my waist, but I could wear a belt with it.

Any preferences? I know that they have a different vibe. Which one could you see best on me? Or can't you see them on me at all?

I think #2 may look better on you, but hard to say. The colours of #2 would work very nicely with your hair

I have to say that at first glance I liked the colors in #2 better, too. Although I'm still not sure about the shape. I know that I have to try it on in the end, but I find it sometimes hard when I'm alone in the dressing room to judge things and decide. And I have no one to go shopping with, so I have to make the decision alone.

Aww. We should go shopping together! I often solicit feedback from random people in the dressing room if I'm shopping alone If the SA is nicely dressed, maybe her feedback will be good too!

Yes, I sometimes randomly ask people, too. But I'm not sure about asking one of the SAs in our Zara, because they are always very dressed up and seem so unapproachable.

I have friends who would go shopping with me if I asked them, but they have no interest in style and fashion and don't get at all why I would like this thing but dislike another similar looking thing. So I'm better going alone, I noticed that I'm more careful about what I buy this way.

I like both of these. I can't remember - are you broad in the shoulders? If so, the neckline on the 2nd one would exaggerate the look of broad shoulders (if that matters to you.) I can't see either one of these with a scarf, but both could handle a necklace. With the first one, just put the chain inside the collar around your neck and it will lay flat against your skin in the v-neck part of the blouse. I can see the 1st one layered over a tank with a few buttons unbuttoned. It is really hard to tell how boxy these blouses are because, who knows, the models could have a bunch of material clothespinned together in the back and we'd never know it!

No, I'm a real pear. So shoulder definition isn't a problem at all. I had some tops with a neckline like in #2 in the past and I liked them. Yes, I think I would wear a short necklace with #1 and some longer necklace with #2 (if I don't wear a belt).
That's interesting, about the clothing pinned in the back. I guess I'll have to try them both on to see.

I am guilty of taking safety pins and pinning some tops myself... :p And skirts!

Really? With tops that you layer something over? How would you pin skirts so that you can't see it? *curious*

Yes, you should definitely try them on - try to go to the store wearing one of the your skirts. I think they can work with a pencil skirt but may be hard for flared. Tucking may work as well as belting over if they are not too long.
I think #2 will work better for you neckline and color wise but they both are nice.

Good tip, Sveta. I have one denim pencil skirt that I could try them with. And I will try them with a belt, I always take one of the belts they sell in the store if I don't wear one on the day I go shopping.
