I love this asymmetric ruffled silk top, but for some reason I bought it (online) a size too big. I don't know why I keep doing that; I must have some sort of body-image dysfunction. I regularly have to remind myself what size I actually wear! Either I've shrunk in the past few years, or clothing sizes have grown. Anyhow, the shirt was such a good deal that it didn't seem worth it to pay the return shipping. I'll just have to figure out a way to cinch in it a bit, or get it altered.Also, these pants may be the most expensive "regular" item of clothing in my wardrobe, I think, other than my wedding dress and a cocktail dress or two. And not counting shoes. But I love them — they fit like a dream and I feel taller in them... I wish I could wear them every day. Therefore I deem them worth the money.

Pretty! I find paper clips work well for taking in clothes or acting as a belt when you forget to wear one. Except for when they snap you and then that kind of sucks.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute outfit and, um, a great fitting pair of pants are worth the price then you figure in cost per wear, so really you're saving money (did that help?).

DaenelT, my thoughts exactly. It's economics!
ReplyDeleteI love the ruffled blouse! I wouldn't have returned it either. The necklace was a great choice; I love how you doubled it.

Love the ruffles! I buy stuff to big too! Then I try and belt it to make it work.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!
