Yay or nay. I keep vacillating between thinking it's old looking, to thinking that it's a nice style for fall.

You can do better in this style. This looks like you should be driving a buggy up the road in Lancaster County, PA on your way to a sewing bee.

I bought the polka dot one. I'm not sure if I'll wear it buttoned up. I'll probably switch. I think that buttoned up it with a pencil skirt and heels it can have a sexy librarian look, which I love! Or I may snip off the ties totally. I like it either way though.

[natablue]

I'd wear it.

[pixy0stix]

See, I think going to a sewing bee would be fun.

[NachoProblem]

Modcloth has a bunch of tops like that, just an FYI.

ETA: Well, not like that, now that I clicked on the pic, cuter than that lol. I don't hate that target top, but I don't love it either.

LMAO!

I like the idea, but not this particular one. J.Crew has an adorable polka dot one that I want.

omg. lol.

I agree. The material and the style of the tie itself just doesn't do it for me.

[vampsterdam]

LOL at LTV.

I agree, but yet, I think it could be pulled off if styled right.

[sasky]

I like the style but don't like it in that color. Looks very nun-ish in black. Needs a fun color.

Agree, the black makes me want to slap a bonnet and a giant scarlet A on it.

The orange flame isn't bad. I still hate the skinny ties though.

I like this top much better. Although it's not as high on the neck...

I think this would be really adorable. Where did you buy yours, busybody?

I bought it in the store at Target on Saturday. I haven't tried it on yet so I could be totally wrong about the look. I will try it on and share how I style it.

I also have this top and the bottom balloons out so much I have to wear it tucked in otherwise I look pregnant.

[fashionx]

I like it, but wouldn't wear it all the way buttoned up.

[FormerCityGirl]

I think it would really need to be styled well to work. The heavy fabric, high neck, and skinny ties could make it more Lancaster, PA if it's not styled right. It would need a lot of edge to make it work.

I like wider ties and sheer fabric for this type of blouse. Something like this from ON:



I have a sheer cream one that I love with colored jeans and dark bootcuts.

[busybodyk]

I tried it on. Can't say I hate it but cat say I'm crazy about it either. Let the jury of S&B decide:

[fashionx]

busy, I'm sorry.... it looks like a pilgrim outfit :/ You're too pretty to wear this look!

I would try it opened... maybe?

My honest opinion, busy, is that I don't like the blouse. I'm sorry.

I think a wider tie and a lower neckline would be better.

Something like this:

I have that AA one and I love it!! I also have this one from jcrew which is also awesome.

This is what I'm thinking too. I love your style, but think this isn't the one for you. Mav and Bimbi have some great ideas though.

[magdala9]

I look at tie blouses and think old 1970s secretary. Skip it.

[busybodyk]

It flopped all over when it was open and just looked weird to me. I should have taken a pic anyway. I am def not keeping it. Thanks everyone for your kind input.

[hz80408]

I saw I cute Jessica Simpson options at Marshalls last night for $24.99; I'm not a huge fan of JS, but the tops were cute.

I agree busy; I like it, but it's still a bit awkward

[pixy0stix]

I like the jcrew one posted. I'm not really a fan of the larger ties, though. I think this is a look that I'll just skip.
