Is it too weird?

Logo by Sam

Today I want your honest opinion about something. Awhile ago, while thrift store shopping with my daughter and one of my teenage granddaughters, I found this top. I liked the fabric and the colour, but I was unsure about the unconventional neckline.

Though I was hesitant, I decided to try it on. When I stepped out of the fitting room, I asked my granddaughter whether she thought it was weird or not. She didn’t say anything, but the look on her face told me that she was skeptical. My daughter, however, said she really liked it. Hmm… what to do? Buy it or not? 

I decided then and there that I’d do something I’d never done before. I’d buy it and ask your opinion!

Shortly after hanging it in my closet, I noticed that cabi was offering a top with a somewhat similar neckline as one of their spring specials. Maybe my top wasn’t so weird after all.

1080 I haven’t actually worn it anywhere yet except out to the yard to take these photos. I’m waiting for your opinion, so… is this top weird or not? I’m looking forward to knowing what you think.

  1. It’s a little weird but I do like it!! I don’t really like that lilac tank. So I say keep the brown one, it looks nice on you πŸ‘

  2. Oh Yes! It’s good on you and a little different. I think you will get lots of compliments!
    I love your haircut too! I am 78.

  3. It looks very nice. I think the neckline adds a little pizazz. I wouldn’t wear a necklace but a darker color for earrings may compliment the top. Thanks for asking for feedback.

    • Thanks, Mary Therese! Your comment has reminded me of a pair of earrings that I haven’t worn for a long time that might look very good with this top. I’ll have to give them a try.

  4. I love it! I like different hem lines as well. Besides it’s kind of fun to be weird once in a while 😊

  5. Just cause it’s different doesn’t make it weird!
    I actually like it a lot!
    And when I am telling myself that maybe this isn’t me, but some part of me says yes it is!! I go with the yes!!
    Life is too short!!

  6. The colours in the top look very good on you…I would keep…,at first, I didn’t notice the neckline…as long as it feels comfortable, I would say β€œkeep it” and β€œwear it”….

  7. Yes! That neckline is Lovely and you don’t need a necklace… let the neckline be the statement. A great pair of earrings will be enough. Lucky you to find it.

  8. I’m late to the post but that top is great on you. Perfect colors for you, too! I think it is very stylish. By the way, I am reading “When the Moon is Low” … can’t put it down. Thank you for recommending it!
