I was really attracted to this top when I first saw it online, so I was disappointed when I tried in on in the store and discovered that it looked like a big circus tent on me. I had put the top out of my mind and off my wishlist until it went on sale last week. I spent 2 days adding and deleting it from my online cart until I finally succumb and ordered it in a X-small. My hope was that a smaller size would be a cuter, more manageable tent. I tried it on immediately after receiving it in the mail and was pretty satisfied with the fit. My plan was to wear it with jeggings to balance out the roominess of the top. However, sizing down had one drawback - the top was much too short to look good with jeggings. I ended up pairing it with bootcut jeans and black ballet flats.

I'm still on the fence about this top. I love the details on it, but I'm not sure if it's the most flattering top for my body type. Jerry really loved it, but I'm not quite convinced yet. If I can find some more things to wear with it, I think I'll keep it. I don't feel it's versatile enough to keep in my wardrobe if I can only pair it with jeans.

What say you? Keep it or sell it? If I keep it, do you have any suggestions as to what I should pair it with? Oh, and don't bother being mean, because I will delete your ass. That's one thing I'm no longer on the fence about. ;-)
