The alternate title for this post would be: “My Boobs were Too Big for this Top” But I was afraid of being found on search engines by the term “boobs.” I don’t even know if that would happen, but just in case…
This is the other top I bought way back when I purchased my beloved chambray. I didn’t try it on but it was so unique and in great shape, so it had to come home with me.
$5 VV Boutique
Those little leaves are raised!
Now, back when I started this endeavour, I decided that I wouldn’t be prone to pesky things like alterations or dry-cleaning. Too much of that and the pieces are not the bargains I’m after. However, I did succumb and get the neckline extended on this (alterations $13) so I could get it over my head and at least give it a chance! I think it worked out!
What doesn’t look good with J Brand denim?
I’ve been doing the Whole30 thang so it’s a little less snug in the chest (my bras still fit and they help with the fit of this top!) but it is a tunic style so meant flow away from the girls on down. It is sheer with a built-in shell, and I added a blue tank underneath for another layer. Then, it was chilly and I was neglecting the Rule of 3, so I added pretty earrings…
Gift from my sis…
And of course a scarf…
Handmedown from the same sis!
Rule of 3 fulfilled!
I slipped into my neutral platform wedge Skechers loafers…
and enjoyed a surprisingly comfortable outfit on a surprisingly relaxing day.
If I saw this top at Winners for $18, I would buy it for the pretty colours, unique pattern and texture. I love that VV Boutique offers brand name and designer finds, as well as these no-name vintage pieces in great shape. I am willing to bet no one else has this top, and it sure is nice to feel like one-of-a-kind!
