Rendez-Vous by Paul & Joe Sister Voile Top
As much as I want to expand my wardrobe, I do have to have good judgment on what to buy and what not to buy. One case in point is the Rendez-Vous by Paul & Joe Sister Voile Top at Urban Outfitters. As nice as this top looked when I picked it up, it did not flatter my appearance at all. The shirt was loose fitting and that was the problem. From the front, it looked as though I could pull off the shirt. The org flower print looked nice and the shirt was not too dramatic. (The shirt also comes in another print — pink flowers.) However, once I turned to the side, the shirt gave me that pregnant look, which I was not. I guess that’s what is meant by the “oversized fit” description online. The top also was somewhat translucent, which I tend to avoid unless the shirt is simply amazing. In the end, I hung this shirt back up and moved on without any regrets.
In store, this top is on sale for $19.99, but the sale price online is $54.99 (originally $78.00).
