A cute Susan Graver top!

Andreatoo — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 18:04:31 GMT

And then they give you the price...$61.00 ??

I prefer it in the black/white or navy/white (looked terrific on Rachel) but I work with what I have

I suppose she was comparing nylon to silk in order to justify the price but come on!

$61.00 for rayon/nylon??

It's rare that I see an SG garment that appeals to me but I've never purchased because I can't justify the cost....

I agree that price is nuts especially for a "cold shoulder" look which hopefully will die out soon!

No, no, no! Cold shoulder looks remind me of the old "Frederick's of Hollywood" catalog--slightly trashy. Horizontal stripes are to be avoided by anyone who may not have the perfect figure. The price is way high. An easy pass.

I like most of SG's tops. Not this one, however. I'm another who is absolutely not a fan of cold shoulder look......on anyone! Sorry.

My immediate thought when seeing this top..."Where's Waldo?" :/

Well I like the top...but the point is that the prices preclude me even trying something of hers.

I know it's the Q and their crazy mark ups and I suppose, unless sales drop considerably, they won't be bringing prices in line any time soon...

@Andreatoo..I had the same feeling the last time I watched a bit of a Susan show-cute top but was 59.00 and some. I like a lot of Susan's things, but it was just too much for what it was.

I'm not a fan of this top. The stripes and then the solid part look funny to me.

The seems in line for Graver though. Her prices have climbed through the years - still not as high as Logo though

HATE cold shoulder, I'm sure it will be gone soon

I'm thin on top and avoid rayon like the plague. Who wants stripes in addition? nooooooo

walmart has similar quality, made in China so I'm not buying!

OMG if someone thinks cold-shoulder tops are "trashy" I'm wondering if they dress like Mama Duggar? That gave me a huge belly laugh. Oh no. Look at that floozy over there showing her shoulders! ROFLOL

Horizontal stripes are not to be avoided if you don't have the perfect figure. That is an old myth. You have to know how to dress, how clothes should fit and what looks good on you. If you don't like horizontal stripes, don't wear them but don't make a blanket statement about how everyone without a perfect figure should avoid them.

And for the record, cold-shoulder isn't supposed to be going away anytime soon. I like some cold shoulder and split sleeve tops. Again, if you don't, don't buy em.

The purpose of the thread was commentary on pricing; not validate Andrea's taste!

@Andreatoo, I'm sorry I contributed. It just gave me a huge giggle that someone thinks a cold-shoulder top is trashy. I couldn't help myself. I was trying to figure out what is trashy about shoulders.

It's like the posters who think 2" hoop earrings are trashy.

I'm going to the corner now.

@Lipstickdiva

I would have liked to have whined about the price of something less polarizing but it's rare that I see an SG garment that I want.

I like the layered look of this piece but again ....$61.00 ????

You may come out of the corner now

I have never once seen Susan's quality at Walmart. Should I go to a different Walmart? Are some better than others?

Re: A cute Susan Graver top!

Peaches McPhee — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 21:16:19 GMT

There is no way that top is worth $61.00.

Bri21 — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 21:51:52 GMT

I love cold shoulder tops. They are not trashy. I coild

never figure out what was trashy about them. Lol

Re: A cute Susan Graver top!

adamlambert — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 21:56:45 GMT

I think the price is very high. I've purchased several of her items in the past and yes, our Walmart has similar quality in the George brand. I live in a cold climate so maybe we get thicker items? Idk. If I like a top of hers I usually can find it on eBay.

I don't know what world people live in where $60 is a lot for a nice top. I saw that top when it was presented and I love it but it's spring/summer top and it would be silly to buy something now that I won't wear until May.

Re: A cute Susan Graver top!

Lipstickdiva — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 22:07:02 GMT

I have noticed a trend by some posters to say they found something "identical" or "just like" or "the exact same thing" at another store for much cheaper. Then you find out they aren't the same and sometimes aren't even close. They are never the same name brand.

@Bri21, when I was growing up my mom always said "lipstickdiva, I don't care how short your skirts are or how low cut your tops are, but FTLOG don't show your shoulders."
