One of the things I like about thrifting is that I can try things I might otherwise not wanted to invest in. I mean, $4 for a top that is probably really not my color? Eh, worth a shot. I thrifted this Everlane Japanese Goweave v-neck top because it was such an interesting cut and I wanted to see how it work work on me:
Blush is not really my color but it's just saturated enough to be flattering, maybe? Naturally it's sold out but I do really like the GoWeave fabric (even if I don't love Everlane) and the cut is interesting. What do you think? Should I keep this top or is it not for me? Naturally, it's sold out in every color, but for something similar, I really like the look of this top at Nordstrom and this one by Wilt, who makes really great tees. And, for something a bit dressier, this one at Ann Taylor looks quite nice. I also like this shirt from Madewell in a blush pink that would probably look terrible on me. Spring colors are tough.
I like it! It's a nice change for you. The question is, do YOU like it? Because that's what matters. I've been switching my own palette to softer colors over the past few years. It was terrifying at first--who WAS I when I wasn't wearing black? But now I'm comfortable with the softer tones (particularly earth tones) that are now part of my wardrobe. I think experimenting with thrifted items is an excellent idea! I did the same.
ReplyDeleteI do! I just know that sometimes really pale colors can wash me out but I was like, this one maaaaybe works ok?
DeleteI think the blush top looks nice on you and I love the mules!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI think the blush top looks great. A punchier necklace (especially something that incorporates the green) might help you feel the blush is more balanced, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a great idea, thanks!
