In fashion-related news, another January outfit (I am very behind with the outfit posts). I've been looking for a well-fitting, super classic long-sleeved white button-down shirt for ages, and still haven't found one. The one I'm wearing here is more of a camp shirt with front pockets and a shorter length on the sleeves. I really like how well it fits in the torso! I do get a bit of gaping between two of the buttons at the bust, but I don't worry about it too much, because I've found a fabulous quick fix: grab a bit of double-sided tape and tape that gap together! If the gap isn't due to excessive tension, this should work quite well. Alternatively, for a more permanent fix, I've sometimes seen blouses with a hidden snap in between those two problem buttons which I thought was ingenious. The necklace was given to me by my most fabulous aunt, and try to wear it at least once whenever I visit her. (:
I wear this blazer way too much for my own good-- the fit is just really nice, and the cut is both dressy and relaxed which I love. It reminds me a lot of a ubiquitous Aritzia blazer that I've seen around a lot, but which is also a lot more expensive! The colour's very strange-- it usually looks black, but sometimes depending on the light, it can take on a brown or purple-ish hue. Which is not a bad thing in my book! This skirt was part of my first online order ever, from Charlotte Russe last Black Friday. It's super short, so I only wear it with tights or leggings, but the shimmery lace overlay is gorgeous! One thing I really don't like about it though is that the lace part rides up leaving the lining showing almost all the time. I tried to safety pin the two layers together once, but it was warping the lace. I think I'll stitch it down in the future or get a tailor to do it. The bow belt I'm wearing is silver, and I found that overall metallics go with everything. Or maybe I'm just really into shiny things.
