I think I’ve pretty much satisfied my top collection for the upcoming season – I have bought way too many. Two of my latest purchases came from Peacock Parade, one of Canada’s flash sale sites . The tops were originally listed as $360 and $295 were purchased at $129 and $89, excluding taxes and shipping, respectively. Both tops are meant to be a bit loose, so I’ve either tucked them in (as I did with the teal one) or worn with skinny pants (orange).
- Shirt: Sachin & Babi, XS (Peacock Parade)
- Skirt: Reiss, size XS
- Shoes: Barclay, Size 22 (equiv to 34.5/4.5)
- Bag: 442McAdam
- Top: As above
- Skirt: Zara Basic pencil skirt, size XS
- Shoes: Christian Louboutin Proratas, size 34
- Bag: Escada
I haven’t worn the orange top out yet (other than for this shoot), but the first one was worn to Day One of The ShOws with a Reiss skirt (first picture) I purchased in Hong Kong. Does it look better with an a-line or a pencil (second picture, above)? What about pants (below)? I’ve also included a picture of what the shirt looks like untucked or unbelted. Not exactly the best thing, I think.
- Top: As above
- Pants: Rag & Bone for Intermix, size 24
- Shoes: Stuart Weitzman, size 5
- Belt: H&M, size XS
- As above, worn without the belt
I found the orange top to be more than a bit big (even at XS). I think very skinny/jegging type pants help and I guess belting would too, but worn with normal skinny pants just plain doesn’t work:
- Top: Sachin & Babi, XS
- Pants: Zara, size 2
- Camisole: Smartset, XS
- Shoes: Odesso vita nova for Barclay, size 22 (34.5/4.5)
- Top and Camisole: As Above
- Pants: Rag & Bone for Intermix, size 24
- Shoes: Barclay, Size 22 (equiv to 34.5/4.5)
- Top: As above:
- Skirt: Banana Republic pinstripe pencil skirt, size 0P (very old)
- Shoes: Barclay, Size 22 (equiv to 34.5/4.5)
Tucking the shirt in helps a bit, I think, but you lose half the fringe! I know that both tops are meant to be worn loose, but the orange one (I love the colour) is a lot harder to style! Tips, please!
