I... don't even know what to say about my blogging habits anymore. I guess I can say I've been quite busy – I have not only been working overtime quite a lot, but I've also been trying to spend the little free time doing something nice with the nearest and dearest, or at least by taking care of myself by exercising (or sleeping).
This time I decided to show three tops which I bought from Restyle a while ago. I really liked the prints and decided to give these cheap T-shirts a try.
All the tops are size XS, which was the smallest available, and although they do have a size guide on the website, I kind of wished a top which is said to be "very stretchy and will fit to your waist perfectly" would indeed be more bodycon. However, it turns out I'm something like super small by their standards, and the tops are a bit loose – quite nice still, anyway.
This is a fangirl top. :) Anyway, there's a bigger problem than the tops not being tight-fitting. They all have a deep, deep plunging neckline! It's rare that I actually mind this – most of the time I don't, maybe because I don't have a cleavage to show anyway. However, these tops really do make me want to wear another top or shirt underneath, or otherwise I would be showing my underwear. And seriously, I don't think I can do that at work. I thought I was buying casual shirts which I could wear to work with a knit, but these tops are not so simple garments.
I had the highest expectations for this one since it was the only one with sleeves – I thought I could wear it at work on its own, but pssssh, the V-neckline is the worst – way too deep for my bust (or the lack thereof).
It's quite a pity since I really do like the prints in real life as well, not only in the photos on the website. But they do need something underneath, and it's not simple and easy either, an under-top may look sloppy or unintentional.
I wish I could pick up my blogging pace. Summer time should give me a bit more natural light and more possibilities to take good photos. That should help me to make a post about hair in the future. So long!
Hm...I checked the website and these tops don't look such low cut on the model, so I'm guessing, it's just because they're kind of lose or even too big for you. Anyway, it's a shame, the prints are really cool.
ReplyDeleteOn a sidenote, I've red other blogger review on Restyle products and none of them was a hundred percent satisfied. I know we probably shouldn't expect all that much for 10 - 30 Euros average, but I'm still doubtful of ordering from them...
It's possible they are just so big, which is a bit absurd though, I may be slender but not tiny..! And yeah, I never expected to get good quality for such low prices. On the other hand I may have been positively surprised since the fabric didn't seem as bad as I'd expected. Of course, I don't yet know what they will look like after they've been washed several times, but I'd certainly say the quality is "okay" rather than "poor".
DeleteMitä jos leikkaisit printit irti ja ompelisit ne paremmin istuviin paitoihin? Se ei ole kovin iso homma käsinkään, ja saa just sellaisia paitoja/toppeja kuin haluaa :)
ReplyDeleteOon jo vähän miettinyt, jos pystyisin vähän peukaloimaan noita, mutta en ole kovin kätevä neulan ja langan kanssa. :D Saatan joskus kyllä päätyä yrittämään, koska tällä menolla paidat jäävät pian vähälle käytölle...
DeleteThe tops are very nice. maybe you could insert a panel or just use a tank top under the tshirt.
ReplyDeleteThanks. :) I will probably just keep wearing something underneath. It's a bit pity though, especially with the V-neck as it would look nice if it wasn't a bit obscene.
DeleteÄlyttömän ihanat topit. Kaikki printit ovat kivoja, ehkä ensimmäinen noista on herkullisin. Restylen tilaus on houkuttanut jo pidemmän aikaa, kiva saada siitä mahdollisimman paljon tietoa. Ulkomailta tilaaminen kuitenkin tuppaa aina jännittämään.

Jotenkin ihan sinun oloisesi tuo Poe-printti. :D Herra Poen piirteet ovat omanlaisensa. :) Sen lisäksi että henkilönä ja kirjailijana todella kiinnostava.
No terve taas ja kiitos. :D Oon joskus aiemminkin tilannut Restyleltä eikä ole valittamista ollut, joillakin on tosin tainnut olla jotain erimielisyyksiä palauttamisesta tai jotain, en ole varma.
DeleteJa kyllä, Poe on sen verran tyylikäs, jotta viitsii sellaista muotokuvaa pitää paidassaan. :)
