I default to dresses so often because as a petite person it's hard to find separates that fit well. Blouses especially. They always seem to have the most awkward fits. Even this one is too long, too big in the arm holes, and a bit billowy, but all that I'll endure for the cute print! Hopefully I'll also get a chance to set my sewing machine up before summer's over and do some simple tailoring myself. I go to a tailor for more complicated fixes, but I'm really missing having access to my own sewing machine for more reasonable alterations. I heard that celebrities get everything tailored--even their most basic tee shirts and jeans. It's the main downside I find to "fast fashion" compared to the smaller wardrobes fitted to the individual that past generations worked with. Generic sizes rarely fit anyone well and having clothing that suits your shape makes all the difference in the world; both in appearance and comfort. Anyway, the print on this top was too cute to resist and I really like the large, sailor collar as well. With a few adjustments I'm sure this will become a well-worn addition to my wardrobe.

You look amazing! Could I ask, if green hair is your own, or it's a wig? I like dramatic hair colour, but I've never had the courage for it :)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, it's my own hair.
ReplyDeleteLove the collar & pattern on this shirt. It's definitely something I could see myself wearing.

i love
ReplyDeleteyour keys!
it is hard. i'm 5'1, around 100 pounds. sometimes i'll go to a store and won't fit even a 0. other times i'm a 2. i'm also chesty, at a 30F, so a lot of clothes end up being too revealing on my short torso yet big chest. it's pretty upsetting. at 28, i want to shop in the contemporary womens, but size wise i'm better suited for the bloody juniors :(
ReplyDeletei'm working on learning to sew myself...we'll see how that goes!
You are soooo adorable ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥
ReplyDeleteI think I definitely saw that blouse in an episode of Pretty Little Liars recently. It's awesome! And I love the nail color paired with it. Adorable.
