November's a tricky devil!

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a lovely weekend - I know I did! There's nothing better than just hanging out with friends, laughing and having some drinks! After a chill Saturday night of beers and The Game of Life with The Green E and some other friends, I headed out to a local bar on Sunday afternoon to celebrate another friend's birthday with some Sunday football.

The weather has been all over the place around here! After a pretty chilly week,who woulda thought Sunday would be back in the 60's?? I decided to take advantage and try out my new Gorilla tripod to catch the last bit of afternoon rays for some outdoor shots.

Lookie! It's the yellow ruffle top I ordered on sale from Torrid. It came so quickly! I was in such a bright mood that I couldn't resist going all out with the colors, so I decided to remix the purple cardi I wore to work earlier that week. Paired with some dark denim, yellow loafers, a belt, and a white cami underneath for modesty (gotta keep the girls under control while it's still daylight lol!) and I was good to go!

Like I've said before, I'm usually not such a big fan of Torrid, but I like this top a lot. The yellow leans a bit more towards an egg yolk-y hue than I though it would, but I'm not much bothered by that. The fabric is a nice, stretch jersey with matching lace, which makes for a really pretty, flouncy ruffle down the front and around the bottom. The ruffle extends all the way around the back, which is a plus -  I can't stand when a pattern or detail stops and the seams and doesn't continue to the back, it makes things look so cheap! Like any other jersey piece, the fabric is a bit clingy, so either layer a tank underneath to camouflage any bumps, or size up if it's very bothersome. I got the size 2 and it works perfectly for me. Thumbs up, Torrid!
