HIT OR MISS, WOULD YOU WEAR IT
I saw several comments from ladies asking me to post products that are not my favorites. Honestly, I prefer talking about items that I love since it is way easier, and I don’t like talking bad about an item since someone else might absolutely love it! Take distressed jeans for instance; I love them, but a lot of you are fans. So, today, I’m showing a hit or miss post and asking you, would you wear it?
In talking about if something is a hit or miss, I’m talking about the style mostly, but fit might also come into play. If you love the style of an outfit, you can always change the size that you are wearing to see if it will fit you better. But, if the style isn’t to your liking, then you have to ask yourself, would your wear it. If the answer is no, then let’s see what you can tweak to make it more your style.
There are a lot of elements to an outfit besides the top, bottom, and shoes. You also have accessories and a complementary piece that can change up the look, so don’t forget to think about adding or subtracting those.
Let’s start with this red ribbed crisscross sweater by Sofia Vergara. I bought this sweater for a couple of reasons, but mostly because I had Valentine’s Day in mind. The peek-a-boo openings are kind of a thing right now, and I thought they might add some sex appeal to my look. But, I’m not sold on the look.
I love the bright red color, and my bra straps aren’t showing through the openings, so that is a plus. Ribbed clothing always seems to run small, so I ordered a large, and it fits…snugly. It isn’t ridiculously tight, but it is very snug, as in you see the oreo I had for dessert tight.
The sweater’s length is just fine, and I don’t have any complaints about that. And, even though the top is snug, you can’t see back fat oozing out from around my bra, so that is another plus! Lol!
I added these Red Kyocera Opal heart earrings c/o Kendra Scott to my outfit to make it even more festive looking for Valentine’s Day. These drop earrings are super cute and the small beads around the heart add a little something extra. The stone is especially beautiful in person, but it was hard to show that in my photographs.
I love the modern ankle jeans from Talbots. There is something about these jeans that are spot on! They hit me at the right spot on my ankle, they aren’t baggy but they aren’t snug, and I even love the color. You see me wearing these a lot for a good reason, they are modern looking and fit great. I’m wearing an 8 since I usually size down one size in Talbots clothing.
Now, it’s time for you to get vocal. What do you think, is this a hit or miss, and would you wear it. Or, would you wear parts of it and switch out for something else?
Let me hear your inner fashionista come out!!!

Good Morning from SNOWY OHIO!!! I DO like this ribbed red sweater…looks great on you!!!!
Also, I found the Chanel Red Lipstick that I absolutely loved in one of your posts!!!! Red is definitely classy, and a WINNER to me!!!!
I really enjoy your daily posts!!!!
You look fabulous! Gorgeous outfit. Would wear it in a heartbeat!
If you love it…wear it. I don’t bother about what other people think (you can’t ever please everyone.. not ever). I dress for me….not for anyone else.
I like the outfit. You should wear things that fit a bit snug. I think the red flatters you and I love the cut-out on you. This a cute date night outfit with the hubby.
I love the jeans and shoes but the top would be a no for me. You look beautiful in it but I just dont love it.
You look fabulous in this outfit but I would not feel comfortable or pull this off like you being the pear shaped girl I am. I need to at least do a half tuck on tops. I do not like cut out tops and to balance my small top to my bigger bottom I generally always wear a jacket or blazer. Even though the earrings look cute on you, I like your big hoop ones better. Since I’m assuming you are not wearing this outfit to do errands the red heels look fabulous. Wear pumps until you can’t anymore. Sigh. And the jeans, perfection. I prefer a darker wash, but with your hair and coloring these look perfect. I loved this post and all the comments. All that I read were respectful even if they didn’t like it.
I think you look fantastic in that outfit! The top is a cute look for Valentine’s Day but probably not something that I would wear since you said it is snug-fitting. I also wouldn’t wear the heels only because I have problem feet and most heels are uncomfortable to me.
I love the sweater and think you look lovely. But I wouldn’t look good because the center circle cutout would show my wrinkles. I love the bright red.
You look amazing and I can totally see your weight loss! I love the sweater. I would style it a little differently, perhaps with flared jeans.
Yes to the jeans and shoes. Top NO cutouts NO earrings NO.
You look great, Joe will love it…. The top is not for me, at 72 it would look as if I was trying too hard. Love the jeans though. I have never been a fan of such high heels with trousers, I find a medium heel looks classier.
