Fitting Room Reviews: Tops & Tees

I am back-logged with fit reviews right now, and I tried on so many that I will have to post them in installments. Here I focused on tops and tees, to go with the many crops I own, for the warmer months.

Ride the Wave Poncho - $78 USD

I really liked the comfy fit of the Ride the Wave Poncho. I tried on a my usual size small in tops andit fits a bit big because of it's slouchy design, and I picked the navy stripe colorway. I was happy with the small and didn't want to size down as it's meant to be a bit of a messy, disheveled look. But if you want a little more shape to your silhouette, I would size down. Wishlisted for sale.

The Leticia Top looked good on the hanger, like a wrap-sweater but then I changed my mind after I tried it on. It's actually a poncho. Don't be thinking you will be wearing this as a sweater on it's own. You definitely need a tank or tee underneath because it is only held together by the three little buttons in front. I felt this sweater hung a bit funny and in an unflattering way on me. The color is a nice pop of tomato-red, however, but does not have enough shape for me to like it. Pass for me.

Leticia Top - $78 USD

The Perennial Awakening Top looked amazing on the rack! And since it was the only one, I grabbed it in a flash! I was instantly attracted to this top because of it's soft, flowy features, so feminine and delicate with the floral details and dolman-type sleeves. Once on I was in love! I have read online that the chest area fits strangely small on some ladies, and I could see how this could happen, but on me it was a nice fit. I tried on my regular size small in tops. It is a tunic length on me so I could see myself wearing these with leggings or tapered pants. However, when I got home and tried it on again, I started to see the floral design in a different light. The way the flowers appear on the front of the top, outlines my belly in a way that is unflattering. It almost frames my tummy which is an area that I definitely do not want to draw any attention to. Now if I was pregnant, however, this would be a beautiful top to showcase the emerging pooch. So, unfortunately, I returned this little number and made some other lucky girl very happy, I'm sure. I will re-consider this top if it ever gets a 2nd or 3rd cut, however.
