Have you seen the Shirt Boutique?

I'm only investing in tops and accessories this spring and summer. Going basics on pants.

A lot of cute tops but too expensive for me

Thanks. I'm not buying a lot of shark bite or Ikat. Not a good investment and a little goes a long way.

the good thing about chicos is that there is almost always a coupon code available AND they mark their items down fairly quickly. love their items and find many hard to resist.

With the shark bite - it can always be altered later on for a straight hemline.

I have seen the boutique too. I am not a fan of shark bite tops, but I like some of the prints on them. You make a good point... Maybe my tailor can alter one into a straight hem if I find one I really love.

Why would someone buy a shark bite hem top, then pay to have it altered into a straight hem.......it will never look right.....I don't understand that at all..... ${#emotions_dlg.crying}$

If you see a top you like, but worry about buying something that might go out of style - a shark bite can be altered.

I've done it myself and know that it can be done with good results. Really not that difficult. You need a tape measure, scissors and needle and thread.

Thanks, I know, I taught tailoring. I'm just not inspired. Nothing has the WOW! factor! I'm considering an outfit I saw at Banana Republic.

I bought an inexpensive shark bite top somewhere else. I ended up donating it as, that store has a short refund policy too. I'm not obese, far from it. But that top made my already Western European hips look even bigger than I would've liked! I did buy one Serena W. Had on HSN. that one was only one side and trimmed all over in a tonal border. That worked and actually elongated my torso! It's the double ones that either enhance your hips or belly and personally, I don't want either enhanced!
