I have learned that I take atrocious self portraits. I've also learned I am bigger than I thought! (I blame crispycakes!) Just got my fix!
The
Gorden Ikat Print Sleeveless Tunic did not fit my pear shape at all. It was super baggy up top and too tight in the hip. (It was a stretchy material but looked like I had no waist.) No photos of that one! I thought the print was really great though and will keep my eyes open for it in the future.
This was the
Fiore Box Pleated Skirt paired with the
Bixby Swan Print 3/4 Sleeve Blouse. (Better picture of blouse to follow.)Â The skirt was a little too long and made my legs look stumpy. Otherwise it was a super soft stretchy material that was still thick enough to seem appropriate for wearing in professional settings. The top ... I'll go into the top later.Â
This was the
Cattie Belted Dot Print Minidress. It was adorable but fit too small in the arms/shoulders and bunched weirdly in the back. Maybe a little cutesy for a woman my age but if it had been a size up I would've gone for it (and paired with cardigan and tights or something equally appropriate). Comfy, nice material, well made.Â
This was not a fix item but the top was a Modcloth shirt I had put on my Pinterest board to indicate the sorts of things I liked. Which leads me to ...
This is the
Bixby Swan Print 3/4 Sleeve Blouse again. Very similar to the shirt in the Pinterest picture, right? Maggie (the stylist) even mentioned it and I appreciate that attention to detail. The top itself was lovely but, as you can see, was totally shapeless. I tucked it into my yoga pants to see if that would improve things but not enough to make it a real win for me.
This is the Coco Lurex Detail Tweed Blazer. Yay! So lovely. This is the one I ended up getting. I was temporarily hung up on getting this ($78) or the Bixby top ($48) since the Bixby was cheaper but ended up following my heart. This has probably been my most long-winded post on MUT. My apologies!Â
