(no subject)

I received new clothes from Bravissimo on Saturday. I really like one of the tops, but the other two shirts I'm dubious about. Tell me, should I keep either one?

( See the extremely amateur photos behind the cut )

I haven't cut the tags off either of these shirts, so I can send them back.
