Given that I pretty much stalk Free People’s website, I was surprised to run across a mystery top in their sale room last Friday. Come to find out that top was the Sleeveless Floral Print Cabo Cowl. I guess I passed it by because all the product shots show it tucked in, which just doesn’t look nearly as cute.
I was immediately drawn to the dark grey because of the beautiful pop of color the orange, yellow, pink & purple floral print provides. It was so pretty, soft & airy that I just had to try it on. I grabbed my normal size small & headed to the fitting room.
It’s a shame FP keeps showing it tucked in, because what I love most about this top is how drapey & flowy it is. You lose that when you tuck it in.
The back is completely sheer, so a base layer is necessary. I think my Perfect Paradigm Seamless Tube in bordeaux is the answer to that. I haven’t tried them on together yet, but I think the colors will go well together.
As far as fit goes, I found it to be pretty true to size. I ended up buying the size small. It has a nice, loose fit through the bust & midsection. The back is fitted, which is likely why it’s so sheer.
This top is super flattering for someone with a stomach pooch, like myself. I can have some serious food baby while wearing this & no one would know it but me.
Verdict: A must-see in person. I wouldn’t have dropped $78 on it, but it’s most definitely worth every penny of the $39.95 sale price.
