I've just bought this. Is it awful?

Shall I take it back?

Weirdly, the horizontal stripes don't make me look fat.

If the receipt was a school report I would be writing "lacks imagination, must try harder."

The horizontal stripes thingy is a myth. They actually make you look slimmer.

It's ok, a nice shape.

Do you like it?
What are you going to wear it with?

TaudrieTattoo · 20/03/2011 18:47

I really like it. But then, I'm addicted to Breton tops.

LynetteScavo · 20/03/2011 18:50

I have black legging or grey leggings and grey converse.They also sold me this, and a long sleeved T-shirt in the same colour to wear underneath. I haven't tried them all together yet.

I just wanted some tunics to cover my belly and bum while watching kids swimming lessons, etc.

I like.

dexter73 · 20/03/2011 19:06

I love it! I really like breton stripes too. I think that thing about horizontal stripes is true as I have a tunic top similar to yours and it is v. flattering.

Boilable · 20/03/2011 19:08

I can see it with a jaunty red neckscarf. In a good way.

AlistairSim · 20/03/2011 19:10

You will look lovely and stylish.

DilysPrice · 20/03/2011 19:13

Nothing wrong with that at all, good failsafe schoolrun top. Wouldn't wear it to a special night out or a job interview, but every other day it would be fine.

LolaLadybird · 20/03/2011 19:40

Love the colour of that scarf. The top is nice on its own but will look fab with the scarf and top.

maryjane71 · 20/03/2011 20:13

It's lovely OP and classy. Good price too Smile. If you take it back you'll regret it.

hmm why is it £45 for me??

southeastastra · 20/03/2011 20:18

hardly awful!

senua · 21/03/2011 11:36

Send it back but keep the bicycle and the rabbit.Confused

Seriously, though, it's quite nice. Not world-changing but ... good and a decent price. Are the pockets OK or do they accentuate hips?

mulberryless · 21/03/2011 13:13

Good basic top. I have a figure hugging long breton top from last year, it is actually flattering. I often wear a crisp white long sleeve tee top underneath. Also store up mustard and red mad scarves. They make you feel cheerful on a gloomy old day. Bonjour baby.

FauxFox · 21/03/2011 13:20

If you are over 40 keep, under 40 send back. I am 33 and would not choose that due to the neckline and dull colour. If it were navy/white maybe, but the grey is too meh for me. Lamb as mutton if you are 25 Grin

5DollarShake · 21/03/2011 13:33

I really like it. :)

It seems that the stripey one is £44 and the much less nice turquoise one is £22.
