I ordered this velvet suit, and can't decide if I love it or loathe it.
It looks sooo good in the editorial. I can see myself wearing it to various events. New Years-eve with friends, datenight and a rock consert etc.
I am quite tall, and believe I can wear this sort of statement piece well (I stand out in a crowd either way). It is also the kind of glamorous and interesting that I would like my style to be. The colour goes very well with my hair, and I like the thickness of the velvet, the texture is interesting and dramatic.
With that said, the suit feels overly pyjamas-y. The waistband is elastic, and I may have ordered a size too big, or it is supposed to look extremely relaxed. Am I seeing some Hugh Hefner too, or am I imagining things? My husbands said this reminded him of Austin Powers... like, what Mike Myers himself would wear. Hah.
What is the forum's verdict on this? Does this sound like a keep or return to you?
Thanks for any input!
