Coming back from a long weekend is so hard, isn't it! I'm in vacation mode and I'm not ready to come back to work!! Especially with the beautiful summer weather we had all weekend, who could blame me for wanting to head to the beach instead of the office??
This wrap top is item numero uno from my latest ASOS order. If you're thinking of ordering this top, you should know that the wrap pieces are not attached to the shirt - so the pieces across my bust are not sewn down. This is good because you arrange then as high or low as you want, but if you're moving around a lot you'd have to keep fixing them. I was just at the office and supermarket so I didn't really have an issue with that. Same goes for the back, the wrap piece is not sewn down, but it's good in my opinion because you can pull the fabric higher up for more back coverage. The top definitely emphasizes my bust, something I usually am not a fan of, but I still felt really comfortable and pretty wearing this top to work and running some errands. I think if I wear my hair down next time it won't be as emphasized. Speaking of hair, do you like my blogger bun? It's officially my I-didn't-have-time-to-wash-my-hair-this-morning style. I think it looks way more put together than a plain old ponytail!
Top: ASOS Curve
Jeggings: Old Navy
Sandals: Steve Madden
Bracelets: Mom's
Earrings, necklace and detachable pendant: Premier Designs
Ring: Vintage
The second piece I ordered from ASOS Curve was the cobalt blue Flippy Jersey Dress. It's very pretty, but I decided to return. On my figure, the high neckline combined with the shorter length was not flattering. One someone less busty, though, I think it'd be really cute!
Number three was the green Ruched Waist Shift Dress. This dress is absolutely beautiful, though it is a tiny bit snug as the fabric is chiffon and has no stretch. I decided I'm going to keep it though. Fitting into that dress for Panagias this summer is my weight loss goal. It's only a little tight so it's a very attainable goal! As of right now I'm down 3.2 lbs. Keep truckin'!
Love the top! That is interesting that the wrap pieces aren't attached, but nice that you have the extra versatility.
ReplyDeleteThe chiffon dress is gorgeous too! Who knows - by the time of the big event it may be too big!!
@Kim Lol! Can you imagine? I wouldn't complain!! I'd just belt that bad boy ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're blogger bun is fabulous! I actually wore a bun myself nice and high yesterday when our temps here in Richmond, VA were 99 degrees (ack!).
ReplyDeleteQuick question regarding the green ruched waist dress....how short is this? I'm 5'7" and one of my biggest issues with ASOS Curve is that the dresses are often too short on me. Based on your height (not sure how tall you are!) is this mid-thigh? I'm a maid of honor in a October wedding and this would be so pretty to wear to the rehersal dinner! here's to hoping its on super sale by then!
@Elle This could really be a toss up. I'm a size US16, UK20, and like I mentioned above, the dress is a tiny bit snug. It is a little short on me (I'm 5'5) - I wouldn't say midthigh, but it's definitely above the knee - but it's probably shorter than it would be if it wasn't a snug fit (and if I wasn't so busty). My best advice would be to order your normal size and also a size up and see which fits you best as far as length goes (the looser dress will definitely be longer), as well as the fit in general (because there's no stretch, the larger size may fit better anyway!). Sorry, that answer is kind of all over the place but I hope it helps!
ReplyDeleteHey- thanks for the tip! I thought about doing that actually...I'm 5'7" and a US18 so you're thoughts on the dress are actually pretty helpful. Thanks Ariana!
ReplyDeleteps- anyway you can have a name/url option for leaving comments? I use an old wordpress account that I have to log in to each time. I love interacting with blogs and its always easier when there is a name/url option.
I think the top looks great - and i really love your manni/peddi color coordination - so perfect!
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
Love the color of your top and the jeans fit perfectly! Great job on the 3.2...I still having gotten a scale and it has been three weeks. How much exercise have you been doing? Have you tried the spinach lasagna rolls up?? DESLISH and not a points buster!
ReplyDeleteThanks @misss_e! Up to that point I hadn't done any really, but that's changing now. I went to a weight training class at my gym last night - am now in mega muscle pain! Hurts so good! If I can move tomorrow I'm going to yoga :) I haven't tried those yet, I'll have to soon!
ReplyDeleteLovely top, awesome color. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove this top on you! It's very flattering
