Should I return this?

I'd really appreciate some feedback on today's purchase. Do you think the shirt works for me? Trying to shake my wardrobe up a bit and would normally wear something fitted. Not sure it it suits my shape!

Well, I think it looks great, but it's my kind of style!

AgathaF · 01/02/2017 20:40

I'm not keen, but it's not my sort of a thing. What do you normally wear, and what look are you trying to get to with your shake-up?

Hiphopapotamus4 · 01/02/2017 20:46

I think it makes you look quite shapeless when I think you probably have a nice slim figure! I think you need something more fitted or if you like this style what about a longer shirt dress with a belt?

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I normally go for fitted but end up in jeans and t shirts at weekends. I have a lot of knit wear. I think it's just hanging off me and feared someone would say it looks shapeless. My husband says it looks good but what would he know Smile do you think a belt would improve it?

I think you look good!

Looks a bit shapeless, makes you look square in the body. I would return it.

I like it. If you're worried about looking shapeless why not wear a skinny vest/tshirt underneath and wear the shirt open?

A mixed response. If you are one of those who think I should return it, can you suggest what kind of thing I should be looking for. This is how I look with t-shirt and jeans. I want a layered look but just not sure how to go about it. I'm 37 btw so nothing too young looking!

Something more fitted would flatter your shape more, i thought the shrt was just square shaped thus unflattering.

Cute kitty! (Misses point completely)

Aww, pretty pusscat.

MollyHuaCha · 01/02/2017 21:23

I like the cat... er I mean shirt very much. Looks casual and comfy. I'd like it even more if it did not need ironing.

BrownEyedLady · 01/02/2017 21:33

Hope you don't mind me saying, you have a lovely bum and flat stomach so a thin cardie that ends where your t-shirt does (or just below) will give you the layering and be flattering.

Thank you Browneyedlady!

I like it but think probably more for my shape (lardy) than yours. Where's it from please?

dovesong · 01/02/2017 21:44

Keep it. People have very antiquated ideas about what is and isn't flattering. Some things are just fashion (darling!)

It's from fat face. Still undecided but erring towards returning it.

IMO the check is too big and masculine. I'm currently coveting this one which is a similar style?

Imamouseduh · 01/02/2017 22:35

I agree with dove: keep it.

JournosAreLazy · 01/02/2017 22:57

I like it & think it looks great slightly oversized for casual weekends

Dontsayyouloveme · 01/02/2017 23:19

I like it a lot! Really nice casual short. Don't have to wear fitted stuff all the time. Relax in it!! Grin

Dulcimena · 01/02/2017 23:38

It looks good. Looks much more modern than a fitted version would IMO.

Truckingalong · 01/02/2017 23:47

37, old? No way on earth is it. If I was 37 and had a great arse and boobs like you, I'd be out in my bikini. You can wear whatever you want.
