It seems my husband is favouring the area of my closet with all the pieces that I’ve been avoiding because he grabbed another problem piece yesterday. I dealt with that with a total cop out temporary avoidance and layered it under a sweater.
You wouldn’t think a simple top in a popular colour would be hard to style, but this one has bib-like ruching detail and funny sleeves that make it tricky. I bought it months ago for $2.50 at Hope Missions Bargain Shoppe thinking I would have no difficulty getting my money’s worth. Turns out, sometimes even incredible bargains like this aren’t all that; compared to my JBrand denim (worn more times than I could count, originally about $115 half-off) this oxblood top has a higher cost per wear, so far anyway.
In the interest of testing my strategy for problem pieces, I decided to wear it again today and this time pair it with a contrasting colour or pattern. Guess what? It worked again.
