Whoops!<br /><br />Re: sizing up - that probably makes sense for busty ladies since the 10 fit me perfectly at the bust (and typically a 10 would have been a bit baggy - I needed the 10 for my hips)Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163015039548827490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485264816406368669.post-72412124859610890622010-02-28T10:07:59.384-05:002010-02-28T10:07:59.384-05:00Kathleen: Magnified Geranium comes in numeric siz...Kathleen: Magnified Geranium comes in numeric sizes not alpha. I tried it on yesterday and the fit is great and the colors are nice for now, spring, summer as well. My only comment is that I tried on my usual size 6 and think that for busty ladies they will need to size up. It fit me perfectly. The next size up would unfortunately reveal too much in the front.Bronzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394060726230133947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485264816406368669.post-53184351853208116442010-02-26T23:59:38.997-05:002010-02-26T23:59:38.997-05:00what a difference a shirt makes! i, like everyone ...what a difference a shirt makes! i, like everyone else, didn't think it was you in that picture either. it's crazy how unflattering that top is, despite your amazing figure. everything else looked fantastic, and i really like the shirt you walked away with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485264816406368669.post-26131766482785952322010-02-26T19:35:04.130-05:002010-02-26T19:35:04.130-05:00Great reviews!

Also, the length is perfect. <br /><br />I did not think you were the same person wearing that hideous "Followspot" tank. I had to scroll up and back to make sure that it was you. Crazy how terrible that shirt is. Thank you for sparing others the unnecessary trauma of trying it on. <br /><br />I loved the "Magnified Geranium" blouse on you. The colors are nice and the proportions of it really look good on you!<br /><br />Happy on-line shopping this weekend!!Denisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485264816406368669.post-64613004613315702192010-02-26T16:09:08.261-05:002010-02-26T16:09:08.261-05:00Kathleen - What if you wore a belt with the Vittor...Kathleen - What if you wore a belt with the Vittorio Epaulette Tank to cover up the asymmetrical waistband? I'm not sure if you liked it enough to do that but just a thought. <br /><br />As for the Followspot Tank, just wow! It seriously makes you look like you are standing in a funhouse mirror! SIDEWAYS: Normal Kathleen. FRONT: Funhouse Kathleen. Too weird. I just want you to know that even though you talk about your hips being big, they NEVER actually look like that top made them look! <br /><br />Everything else looks great one you; thank you for the reviews!Red Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07667143754032883646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485264816406368669.post-60161797434301065792010-02-26T15:07:14.847-05:002010-02-26T15:07:14.847-05:00Hi!

The other day my Anthropologie had it under the chiffonade top in pink with some trousers and it looked adorable. I'll be picking up that top soon since it looked so cute with that shirt and will also be perfect on its own for spring and summer. <br /><br />I'm also wearing the skybound shirt with that dark denim pencil skirt that had the ruffle around the bottom sides and back (name? Dec. catalog?), the three-beat belt, and orange Frye t-strap wedges from ages ago.<br /><br />Hope that helps- definitely keep the shirt!<br />Beccaemmylou + millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616836675923708678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485264816406368669.post-83462452019813608252010-02-26T15:06:52.504-05:002010-02-26T15:06:52.504-05:00Thank you for the reviews.
