You can try two variations -- a mostly grey with black stripes or a mostly white with blue stripes. Target has a few good options. Check <a href="http://gigisgoneshopping.blogspot.com/2010/01/glaydies-gear-motorcycle-boots.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a> on Gigi's blog for some inspiration.<br /><br />If that idea is a bit too trendy, you could go more classic by putting a turtleneck under it. (I feel like I've been saying this a lot lately but it really works!) Try a lighter grey, a greyish-blue or a taupey brown. Hope that helps a bit.roxyturtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175313932217919783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485264816406368669.post-63551607377742867212010-01-30T06:32:46.799-05:002010-01-30T06:32:46.799-05:00Per your review I ended up buying the Sine top in ...Per your review I ended up buying the Sine top in gray and I love it. I would have never given it a second glance had I not seen it on a "real person". Question...do you think it would be too much if I paired it with a long sleeve top? I tried it on over a long sleeve black tee last night and while I think it's still missing something, it didn't look bad. What are your thoughts?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295579097503234309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485264816406368669.post-39264483067330817962010-01-27T22:42:14.059-05:002010-01-27T22:42:14.059-05:00You're right Sarah- I'm obviously not up t...You're right Sarah- I'm obviously not up to date on the current inventory :) I tried it on in navy and liked it- it fit well, felt good on, and ran TTS- my normal size 4 fit well.

Also, the string used to cinch the waist doesn't do a very good job, and feels like it might break. I also tried on a new mystery dress- may be Odille as well- came in navy, ivory, and one other color (can't remember). Cotton, yoked front, sash around the waist. Loved it, but I'm on a ban since my Winding Ruffles boots came today :) They are so comfy, if a little big.Molly Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389536121522841438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485264816406368669.post-60937034188066103892010-01-27T17:19:41.889-05:002010-01-27T17:19:41.889-05:00The Striped Pursuit Top looks really good on you! ...The Striped Pursuit Top looks really good on you!
