Eyelet Azurite Peasant Blouse (size 2) by Vanessa Virginia
All I could think was maternity wear. Way too much gathering over the breasts added weight and girth - I felt like a house in this thing! I like the color and the lace detailing but overall it felt very cheap. Such a shame because I love the idea of it!
Sheerstripe Pullover (XS)
If it's rainbow, I am immediately attracted to it - just like my daughter! This is a sweet, lightweight sweater - I love the colors! They are definitely more vibrant IRL than pictured on the website. I would probably size up to a small because I don't like thinner sweaters that are too clingy.
Triple Bow Dress (XS) in Blue Motif
First of all, the colors are slightly different IRL - sort of minty and chocolate brown. I like the dress and this thick cotton knit it is made of but I don't love the sleeves or the way the stripes change around the chest line (you can really see it in the side shot). The back view is adorable - maybe too adorable for my age. I sort of like it in these pictures but remember feeling like it made me look funny up top IRL. Fits TTS/slightly snug (but will definitely give as you wear it).
Fitted Western Chambray (XS) by Cloth and Stone
So, much like its cousin, the Fitted Chambray Buttondown , this fits wonderfully up top and then is pulling across my hips. I really don't ever have that problem with shirts but with this brand I do. That is a close up of how much it is pulling. When I size up, it ends up feeling a little sloppy. Darn because I really like this one.
Tulipa Dress (S) by Leifsdottir
Aha - here's the problem - major bra show. I think if I wore a pretty lace black bra it could sort of be peek-a-boo sexy but I'm not sure. Maybe just cheap?
thoughts? Anyone else own the Tulipa Dress and know where that darn knot is supposed to go?
I bought the Tulipa before Xmas. I was tore for a while because of the pattern placement on mine: there was a big black patch where the knot was. But I wore it, so now it's all mine :)
ReplyDeleteI find it super cozy and versatile for winter and warmer months.
PS.Just wear a plain black bra and it should blend right in.
wow- fabulous price for the Tulipa- what a find! It looks pretty and comfortable! I also really like the bow dress on you. I thought the fabric looked pretty stiff, but maybe I should at least try it on..
