Jacket: Dorothy Perkins / Gilet: eBay / Skirt: Glamorous (*) / Boots: New Look (*) / Blouse: Max C London (*)



God, I really can’t count the times anymore when I was really excited to be getting a parcel with a blouse, skirt or whatever, ripping the parcel apart and my clothes off to try it on immediately and then hitting that ULTRA disappointment when I discover the item of my desire doesn’t fit. We all know that all too well (it’s partially our fault though for not looking into the sizing guides of the retailers!)

That happened with this beautiful blouse from Max C London I’ve worked with them before and knew the other blouse fit perfectly, so I went for the item without hesitation, but it’s way too tight on the neck. Super disappointment. But it doesn’t deter me from wearing the blouse – it’s just too much of a pretty cornflower blue! So I tucked the lapels in to create a V neckline instead of that originally intended masculine high-neck button-up’ed thing.

I think paired with my most beloved pleather skirt from Glamorous that make my legs always look perfect and those nice wedge knee-high boots from New Look I think this works unexpectedly well, don’t you think?

These are my first knee-high boots of the year! I normally shy away from these kind of boots because I can’t quite zip them up – I need wide-fit boots but there isn’t a great, affordable selection available anywhere :( But these just about zip-up so all is well!

At least on me, knee-high boots actually go all the way to my knees ;)

Do you normally return things that don’t fit or do you try and make it work by altering the item?

    Loving the skirt and boots! I've actually been looking for a high, wedged boot like that. :)Also, I just sent a dress back to get it in the right size. It was too big on me. However, I did check their size chart. I guess I didn't account for the fact that the skirt wasn't that important and that I needed to think more about bodice fit. Oh well, hopefully the new size will fit and will get here just in time for NYE. – Carla

    I'm really fussy about things that don't fit – especially when you pay decent money for something, so I'll always return it. Unless it's shoes… that's just a different matter. You can come with them not fitting quite right if they're beautiful haha!Love that shade of blue and looks great how you've worn it to make it fit right :)Robyn Mayday xx

    Ugh I hate when stuff arrives and doesn't fit, major disappointment! I love how you've tucked the lapels in though, it looks great. I absolutely love your skirt too! xxkw-justlikeheaven.blogspot.co.uk

    hahah yeah when it's a dress with a wide skirt, it's all just about the top part fitting. saying that, sometimes that doesn't work, even with the right sizes and measurements :(

    i can completely relate, i was very tempted to return the blouse as well. but it fit so well, besides the actual neckline, so i thought i play around with it and now it's become to be one of my favourite blouses!!

    Thank you Kirsty! I'm so glad I tried tucking the lapels in first, otherwise I would've had that hassle of returning it and getting something else and that's just rubbish!! xxx
