Note to Self:
Just because I'm adoring a trend on the runways and in the magazines does NOT mean that it will look remotely similar on my 5'3, curvaceous frame. I finally made my way over to the new Forever 21 that recently opened in the Rideau Centre and tried on some tie-neck 70s-esque blouses that I had been coveting. Verdict? They made me look old and frumpy and added far too much volume to my chesticles, and lets be honest, I don't need any more attention drawn to the ladies.
So while I love the trend on others, this is one that I don't think I'll be partaking in.
Instead I decided to rework a piece that does work for me, a last hurrah in a summer maxi before packing it away for the winter months.
