ON Rockstars/Piperlime Top PIPs

[hz80408]

I also need opinions!

I am usually a size 6 at ON and 5'5"; based on reviews I ordered the Rockstars in black and Monaco plum in a 6 short, 8 short, and 10 short.

I *think* I like the black size 8; but I'm nervous that if they shrink at all they'll be too short; or do you think they're too short right now?


One interesting this is that the black and plum are different materials. Black is made of: 77% cotton, 21% polyester, 2% spandex like ON's website says. The plum is 98% cotton, 2% spandex (which ON says is the "roadstripe only").

The plums are definite no's.
Size 8:


Size 10:


Based on the above; do you think there's any hope for me in the colored Rockstars? I'm thinking no...

One last item I'm adding on is this Tinley Road Devine Bow bloue from piperlime. Yay or nay? I like the neutral color, but cant decide if it's too boring for me? Also, if I keep, do you think I should "tack" the lower set of bows so they're like the top and not droppy (droppy see left pic):

I think the black ones would look nice if you paired them with a "slouchier" top maybe? I think I would also prefer them with heels/wedges, but I think the length is fine.

I LOVE the blouse, and yes, tack those bows!!

I like the top.

I like the black jeans and I think the plum 10s look fine. I'd probably wear them with a longer top, but that's just what I like to do with super skinny pants

I like the black, but not really either of the plum pairs. I do think the black will shrink in length if you dry them, but if you hang them they'll be fine.

I like the shirt, but the whole band down the front is a little off. I don't know if I'd go through the trouble of tacking the bows, but I can't sew. If it's easy for you, go for it. It definitely looks better pulled up like that.

Thanks; the black are SUPER comfy so I'll keep those and follow my usually cold wash/line dry routinue. The plum are going pack and I'm not going to give any other rockstar colors a chance. And I'm going to keep the top and tack (Kare-I think I'll be able to do it easily!).

Renata- thanks for the heads up on F21; I may look there if I decide I really have to have colored pants! I'm going to have to keep close eye on your OOTDs for places to look for pants if we're similar shaped

I agree that the crotch area looks less bunched than the other sizes. My only issue with Rockstars I've owned in the past is the waist stretched and I was constantly having to pull them up so I wouldn't have plumber butt. I love that top. I wish it had long sleeves for the fall/winter.

I love that blouse, I almost ordered it in green.

I debated on which color; they're all pretty cute!

Love the top! I agree, tack the bows down, much cuter.

I like the black jeans, I think the length is fine for skinnies. I don't like super long skinny jeans, I think ankle length is perfect. Unless they go way up when you sit down, I think these are good. Interesting that the fabrics are different!

Thanks Fashion! I'd better do a sit test before taking off the tags!
