The girls at Academichic are challenging their readers (and themselves!) this week to wear outfits that make certain styles or cuts work for their body type.
So I thought I'd jump on this bandwagon (it's what I do best) and give it a try. There's a part of me that has always loved officewear...button-down shirts, slacks, etc. The problem I usually find, however, is that my small chest and lack of a defined waist (plus a bit of muffinage here and there!) make button-down work shirts fit poorly. They always seem to hang awkwardly and hug all the wrong curves. If I ever do wear them, they are tucked loosely into a skirt or slacks, but that's questionable too. But I wanted to find a way to work this style. So I paired my button-down shirt with a cozy lambswool sweater and statement necklace on top, and then something I'm much more comfortable with on the bottom: skinnies tucked into my fave boots. I'm not blown away, but I did manage to feel work appropriate and chic at the same time, so I'm calling it a success.In other news, the rain (hopefully!) seems to be about to stop! Just in time for a visit from my wonderful mom and my birthday on Friday!! Due to the excitement, posting might be delayed for a few days, but I'll do my best.
