I think that this is really cute... it reminds me of something honey posted a month or so ago...

I am thinking in the turquoise color would be cute with a denim skirt and espadrilles...

... but $98 for a tee... yeesh. Also, I have sort of square shoulders and I am not sure this would be flattering. I don't want to make my shoulders broader than they are.

(BTW - honey, if you read this and remember the shirts I am talking about, can you repost? I might like those better...)

Its cute, but it looks very short to me. For $98 I would pass

Agreed.  I saw that top on Neiman's website and thought it looked kind of "my mother would wear that with khaki Talbots pants"-ish.  The color and back detailing are interesting but it looks like it has no shape and just looks sort of off.  There are a lot of really cute tops out there right now with floral embroidery like that for spring, but look prettier and have more detail, less matronly from the front.  Just my opinion.

ya it does have that crop top feel that is a little 90s to me.

i think it's cute, but the length wouldn't work for me (my tummy is not ready for the world). the top i got was by joystick. i got mine on ebay. here's a link to the tops by them that are currently up for auction. the seller i used doesn't have any listed, but this item hasn't become popular enough to inspire fakes so you wouldn't have to worry about authenticity.

this site (www.irissinger.com) has the most extensive collection i've seen on the web. however most of them are long sleeve.  also mia just ordered a top from them so she could tell you about customer service. 


i keep hoping that as it gets warmer, more joystick stuff will be available online b/c it's really cute and well made.

Yeah, I didn't notice the length and I have a long torso.  The catalog photo was better and looked less - what word did someone use, "matronly?"  (LOL... some of you are harsh!). 


And as I said in my "biggest wardrobe challanges" post, I have a really, really hard time with casual clothing, so bear with me.    


Anyway, I really prefer what honey posted - thanks!
