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!!!

I love the way you dress. Just found your blog. Denim to me is fabulous.
Pumpkin is a hard color to wear near the face unless you have “warm” skin tone & hair color.
You have great style!
I don’t think the warm rust & caramel colors are flattering on you. Love you in red & gray. Your skin glows and those colors seem to better show your personality.
The red peek-a-boo top is a bit too busy for me. It could be an extra piece in my classic wardrobe to wear for a night out with my husband or girlfriends. To me, it’s not a style that would be in my wardrobe for more than a season or two. It’s definitely an extra fun top. Cute though. And, a cute top is nice to have just because!
I love your blog! It might be a big ask but would it be possible for you to show how to dress if you are small breasted or as in my case zero breasts at all – I had a double mastectomy a few years ago and chose no reconstruct or breast forms and I struggle with dressing so I look feminine and not to frilly on top -I don’t try to hide the fact I’m flat but flat or not I have always been fashioned challenged even more so now that I am over the 50 mark – I want to stay funky and playful without looking like I’m trying to hard to look younger then my age- you always look beautiful and put together fun!
