PEASANT-ly Surprized!

I like my tops to fit me loose, not tight on my body.  My midsection, I am sad to say, has grown somewhat in my upper years, so camouflaging that part is essential for me.  There is nothing worse than to wear clothing that does not fit because it's too small or too big, that is uncomfortable.  Tight pants, blouses and tops I think make you look bigger and show EVERYTHING, ya know what I'm talkin' about!  Hey, I'm a big girl and no one wants to see all of me, and I mean ALL of me, get my drift.  And, if clothing is too big, it makes you look bigger than you are.  You can look stylish and chic in clothes that fit you, take the extra minutes to try clothing on when you are shopping.  Sizes are cut differently for brands that sell clothing, you may be one size in one brand and a bigger or smaller in another.

Enter the peasant blouse, it hides a multitude of sins but has a fit to your body.  I have been a fan of the peasant blouse since the 70's (I was a lot thinner back then!), today it's called BOHO for The Bohemian Look, reminiscent of the Flower Power days of the late 1960's and 1970's. These are some of the blouses I have in my wardrobe that I paired with leggings and jeans, check them out.

Style Me Fabulous Work Outfits!

The Dressbarn in my area recently re-opened after remodeling the whole store.  Sooooo...I grabbed my online coupons, because I never shop without coupons, anywhere, anytime or anyplace, if I can help it.  I wanted to see the store, so I went to their soft opening the night before the Grand Opening.  It looks fabulous, it's so chic inside! I had my eye on these leopard print jeans they had in the store and when I got there they only had one pair in my size.... WHEW! So I grabbed them they were mine.  Here are some  fashionable work outfits I put together for Fall.

  Papaya colored woven jersey knit/chiffon top w/gold back zip and rolled cuffs, $25.60.  Leopard print jeans, $26.00.  I also took the scarf off the store mannequin.  Hey! it was the only one in the store, it was only $16.00.   I paired all I bought with a leather jacket that I already had. - all at Dressbarn.  Necklace is from Charming Charlie's, $12.00 and shoes from Marshalls $39.99.
