How about belting the top with a wide, fun statement belt just above the waist? Then, instead of the shrug, you could loosely wear a lightweight wrap of sold color over your shoulders (let it drape…no tie in front). Finally, I’d just wear basic skinny jeans and a chunky wedge. I think the bell-bottoms with the blouse might be too much. All that to say…I LOVE the you are repurposing clothes! I have a similar blouse crisis going on…I recently purchased it (and I had even tried it on!), yet now that I have it home, I don’t like it. 🙁 You’ve inspired me to keep trying.

Hi Robin!
Lovely gold dress on you and I love your Paris buys, those cat shoes are purrrrfect! I really love the bold colors in your top. i mostly shop online and try the stuff on at home, as i tend to shop at stores with free return shipping. Because of my illness, I dont shop alot in stores.
Have you tried to wear a jacket or blazer over the top? I love to see a colorful top under a blazer or longer jacket and perhaps with skinny or straight leg jeans like the girls mentioned? The longer length wouldnt cut off your proportions. Just a thought!
Hope it helped?!
Have a great week!
Jess xx

Lise,

I tried the skinny bottoms which made the top look just the same.
The flares were balancing the the volume from my top, but it seems the flares threw everyone off.
I plan on donating it. Stupid purchase.
I’m glad you liked the dress.

Hugs,
Robin

Hi Eva,

Thank you for your suggestions, which I tried but it didn’t help the top.
I may be donating the top.

Hugs,
Robin

I agree that may look better with skinny jeans – too much volume on top and on the bottom. Having said that I still think lose it. The gold dress is really elegant! Lise

I love the mustard color dress, you look very elegant with it. And I find your look with the bell-shaped trousers very funny and interesting. It is a daring and daring proposal, but you look really attractive and modern with them. The sweater is cute and I love the print of the blouse. Your hair is beautiful,

I love the colours in the top. Would it be better with skinny jeans, or leggings. Maybe there is too much volume top and bottom. If that does not work, off it goes to the charity shop…..
I do it all the time….forget to return things… xxx

I think there is too much going on. If you tie it lower, also tray a simpler necklace and non-flared jeans. But how cool that you can say you bought that top while you were in Paris!

Jodie,

You are the best!
I shall try it again with it lower. I may have to update the post if I look better with the sweater tied lower.

Thank you friend!
