I was enthralled by Yoana Baraschi's Fluttering Petals Tank ($148) on the Rockefeller Plaza racks. Though delicate it's also elegant and maybe a bit too fancy for my work wardrobe. Couldn't resist trying it on. I was unsure what size to grab as it looked unforgiving so I sized up to a large. That was a mistake as the shirt has plenty of give. It's true to size.
While I can clearly make out the pattern on the website photo in real life it's a little less apparent. It kind of looked like black splotches to me rather than a flower. I am swooning though and I think with the right cardi this would be a versatile top. Wishlisted.
On a whim I added C. Keer's Beaded Cosmos Tee ($68) to my dressing room pile. The orange color was not really speaking to me but the carefully beaded stitchings were. I grabbed my usual size medium. Lately though I've found I can wear a small in all of C.Keer's tops so I'd size down to buy.
The top is a little short for my liking and has an 80s vibe to it with the wide neckline and banded hem. I just adore the front. It's so well done. I only wish this top came in other colors...ivory or gold or maybe a lighter blue. Pass in orange, but back in love if other colors come out.
Belted button-down tunics seem to be my undoing, but Odille has done everything they can to make it work with their Look Sharp Tunic ($88). I sized up to an 8 because my true size 6 was pulling a bit across my bust. This top seems to be popular round these parts; the green was the only shade left with an 8.
For the most part I like this top. I can see wearing this over leggings or jeans for a casual workday or running errands. I think it would also look cute over a knee-length denim skirt. The green read as a turquoise to me with blue tones mixed among the green. I like this non-ruffly top a bit better than the Lean Lines Tunic I reviewed last week. Wishlisted.
The last top in this set is the Growing Conditions Tank ($68) by Deletta. Anthropologie's version of 'more cowbell' seems to be 'more flowers!' And so there is a giant one conspicuously placed on this top. It's lovely but unnecessary. I like the soft material and the blotchy print is a nice spring hue. I grabbed my usual size small which fit comfortably. I didn't feel that the shape was doing much for me though so I let this one go back to the rack for reconsideration upon sale time.
