I tend to be a pretty rational person, but that doesn't mean I'm not downright silly sometimes. In fact, I'm seldom more joyful than when I let this ridiculousness run rampant. I've been known to cavort down crosswalks in what I hope to be ballet-worthy bounds, and stand atop benches shouting, in my best Monty Pythonish, "Halt, who goes there?" at passing strangers. But let's forget such whimsy acts. This is work. I must be serious. Yes, serious and staid, polite and poised.  And, I must talk about this blouse. This blouse is made of a floaty white chiffon, quite the color of freshly washed linens, and is dappled in furious flocks of soaring veridian creatures of the avian variety. It has a retro shape, with slight princess sleeve puckering, a lusciously tied neckline, and domed gold buttons which shine like highly polished ormolu - all of which make me adore this blouse like I adore French pastries and dancing and love and happiness and - oh, sorry. I forgot I was being serious here. Right. So. Thanks to its unusual print and rich color scheme, this top will look great layered over a white cami that is, in turn, tucked into a grey pencil skirt and matched to sensibly unusual Mary Janes. Or, try pairing it with skinnies and flats, or shorts, gold leggings, and boots, or just about anything really, because it's shirts like these that are so fabulous that you just want to wear them all the time! Yes, it's shirts like these that make the world go round, and the flowers bloom, and the economy stay afloat, and, and - ahem. Apologies. It's shirts like this that make a gal get carried away! -Hannah, Fashion Writer

ahh, i have been DYING to get this shirt. + the print is awesome + the style is cute + buttons add that sweet extra touch - this shirt runs very large. i bought an XS and it fits like a small, or small medium. - the sleeves are pretty puffy and billowy too while the shirt does run large, it's so beautiful and unique that i'm going to keep it. make sure you check the measurements before you buy it. i'd recommend buying a size down.

Ok. So i obsessed over this top, I just had to have it. I checked my notifications and after about a month there it was. A big red one left! It was extra small but I sprang on it hoping that since it said, over-sized blouse, that it would fit me like the picture. I got it in the mail and I was heart broken. It really was extra friggin' small! I couldn't even button it. I thought about sending it back but I was scared it would never restock since I waited so long. I checked all over the web for the same blouse in a larger size with no luck. And here is where it gets really sad. I cleaned my room yesterday and threw away the order slip thinking maybe one day I'd loose twenty pounds and wear this beautiful shirt only to find it restocked the very next day in the size I need! Please modcloth tell me there is something I can do! The top has never been worn, still has the tags and is pristine. I just want an exchange for a bigger size!!!

The photo shows a teal (blue-green) color. However, the actual color is green-green. Thus, it is not as subtlely elegant as the picture shows (esp. with the gold buttons in contrast) - gold and teal look better than gold and green.
