If you haven't followed my previous posts, this is "No Spend September" for me based on a challenge by my DD, I have recently learned, with Angies help that I have a rectangle body shape, not the pear shape that I had previously assumed. I am trying to really figure out what looks good on me and what I should keep and give away. A logical starting point are the 20+ Ivory tops in my closet. Please help me figure out which are the best, and which I should eliminate. I'm trying to learn what I like and don't like about them, etc. I don't want to keep repeating the same shopping mistakes.
Please give me generous feedback. It will help me learn! Thanks!!
1. This tank top from J Crew is going to be eliminated because it has a hole. I noticed some discomfort wearing it though. You may not be able to tell from the picture, but from the side, the armholes gape and my bra, and chest are very visible. If I kept it, I would have wear something over it to feel comfortable. What does everyone think of the length of these shorts? I like the color.
2. This is a second casual tee and shorts look. I rather like this one. I don't know if I am too old for shorts this length, but I somehow prefer the shorter ones to the longer ones. What do you think?
3 &4. This is a Citron Pencil Skirt and sleeveless top. I really like sleeveless tops. I love how the peplum gives me some shape (nice illusion). I also love that I was able to wear my New Anyi Lu sandals. Bought them on sale when looking for black sandals. It was my first time wearing them, and they were very comfortable. In fact the entire outfit was comfortable. How does it look to others?
5. Yes, I bought the Missoni high tops. I couldn't resist. This is how I styled them for the first time. I like the look of this dotty spotty tank top, but once again, the arm holes are too wide, so I need to wear a topper. I rolled the white jeans up, and then ended up taping them in place, not very well done, The kids I work with loved the shoes.
6. I think this might be my favorite look. It's hard because the way I am photographing distorts my body shape. I once again am wearing a sleeveless blouse. Even though this is a v-neck, it is narrow, and I love the collar detail. I also love the loose drape of the blouse. I am wearing a camisole underneath so I was comfortable and not worried about bending over (often an issue for me when I am working). I like the length of the skirt. These are a favorite pair of shoes - Chie Mihara. Sadly, I smeared the shirt collar and tie with deodorant. It may show in the pics?
7. I have never worn black leggings other than for running. Today, I paired some with a long draping Ivory tunic top. I liked it. Super comfortable. I added an EF high low sweater topper, and my Gizeh Birks. What do you think? It is definitely a change from the typical for me.
8-12. I am fond of accessories to add color. I often use nail polish in bright shades. Last month I had orange. This month its sea foam green. I always wear a watch, and bangles. Sometimes I add rings. In most of these pictures I have on a necklace and earrings. It's funny because I have a huge scarf collection but I didn't wear any this week.
