A New Top From Amazon

I've noticed more and more people are buying their clothes from Amazon lately.  You can get some real good deals for sure!  I've never been one to buy clothes on-line because I like to try them on.  That's why I love Stitch Fix so much, because I don't have to buy them before I try them.  But I saw this top on another blog somewhere (sorry, I can't remember where) and so I put it on my Amazon wish list.  My son ended up buying it for me for Christmas!  Yay!  Lucky me.

I was interested in this top because I love to wear leggings in the winter but I'm always struggling finding tops long enough to cover my butt and my front side.  I am 5'7, plus I have a very long torso, so a top that might be long enough for most women, isn't long enough for me.  I usually end up wearing short dresses with my leggings, and those can sometimes be too long making me look frumpy.

This top is the perfect length to wear with leggings.   It is just long enough in front to cover the "you know what",  without being too long that it looks frumpy.


And the back is the perfect length too;  providing perfect coverage without being too long.


The top is edged with two layers of flouncy chiffon.  I really like this added detail, however, I did have to spray the chiffon with Static Guard to keep it from clinging to my ponte knit pants.


I styled my top with a long pendent leaf necklace and multi-strand gold bracelet (both from Stitch Fix, old).


For footwear I chose my old Liz Claiborne booties.


This top is available in both long sleeve and short sleeve in a wide selection of colors.  I chose Emerald Green because it is the one color I don't have much of in my closet and it's also a color I think will really be trending soon.  I'm wearing a size Medium for reference.  It does tend to run large, so if you're worried about this style of top making you look like you're wearing a tent, I'd size down if I were you.


You can find the top HERE if you're interested.  I should also mention it has a seam running down the middle, but that doesn't bother me at all.


So what about you?  Do you buy clothes from Amazon?  Have you found any good deals lately?  I'd love to hear from you!

Have A Great Day!  Amy

    That is such a cute tunic! I like the layers :) Our Amazon doesn't have as much variety as the american one, so I've never bought any clothes there! Although I have the opposite problem from you - I'm so short almost all tops are tunic length on me, haha!

    Hope that you had a wonderful weekend :) I just posted my weekday wear linkup, I'd love you to join! :)

      Thanks Mica! I envy that you don’t have to worry about tops, especially dresses being too short on you. I linked up with you! Thanks for the link up!

    That is a super cute top! I love the color too. I have bought a few shirts from Amazon. One became my absolute favorite but others tended to look pretty awful after just a few washings. It's so hard to judge quality based on the photos...

      Thank you! I’m crazy about the color! I so agree about judging quality with photos. I always read the reviews, though those can sometimes be too picky too.

    I love this color, Amy. And what a perfect length for you too! I haven't ordered clothes yet from Amazon, but heard about their new feature of "try before you buy". I have been buying more clothes online recently (and even shoes!) and with good luck (Nordstrom, Loft and Zappos.) I figured I can always return/ exchange them if neccessary. Oh, not to be an enabler, but Loft has everything 50-60% off with free shipping today :-) I ordered a pair of pants I had my eyes on.

      Thanks Ellie! I heard about the "try before you buy" on Amazon too. Maybe I need to check that out. I didn't know about the Loft sale. I'll have to check it out! Thanks for letting me know!

    I've been such a big Amazon shopper lately and yes you can find lots of great things on there. The green is just so rich and beautiful on you.

      Thanks Jill. I'll have to pay more attention to when you buy something off of Amazon. I love to see the clothes on another blogger before I buy.
