I've been intrigued with animal print for awhile, but this is the first item of that category that I've purchased - I feel so daring!Recovering Shopaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10433396507179103696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620826567758485219.post-64962879111022227142011-04-02T14:38:34.441-07:002011-04-02T14:38:34.441-07:00I loveee that skirt!I loveee that skirt!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00247681150999796653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620826567758485219.post-8097860226743532722011-04-01T05:06:32.623-07:002011-04-01T05:06:32.623-07:00Ah, Aubrey, if your shoulders and ribcage are big,...Ah, Aubrey, if your shoulders and ribcage are big, they aren't apparent in your pictures! But I hear ya, I have football shoulders and arms - sigh, but luckily my waist is also pretty porportional to them, so I'm good on tops, just not on bottoms (have a larger waist, smaller hips/derrier - thus the tween dilemma). I'll post pics of the rrrrrr (animal sound) leopard print skirt soon in my first ever "Fashion Don't" post. Stay tuned!Recovering Shopaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10433396507179103696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620826567758485219.post-15075159237728052022011-03-31T22:55:49.756-07:002011-03-31T22:55:49.756-07:00Ahhh!

Outfit picture peas c:<br /><br />I'm a tweener... because my damn shoulders and ribs hate me! I'm a 00P or XXSP in most tops in the waist, hips and arms but an XSP and 0P in the shoulders and bust. How do I cope? I don't. I wear things that are too big/too small in one area or the other. Hahahha... Sorry, I'm not much help.<br /><br />And seriously - mud pack? HAHAHA. Ahh, good times had in the boardroom I see.FMT Donorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07370515645026785398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620826567758485219.post-664848594662406322011-03-31T05:13:22.604-07:002011-03-31T05:13:22.604-07:00@Stylepint: Thanks for sharing your own "twee...@Stylepint: Thanks for sharing your own "tweener" experiences! Yes, sadly, sometimes alterations are inevitable-but worth is when we don't always fit a particular mold! BTW, congrats on fulfilling your no shopping challenge and rewarding yourself in style!

At LOFT the other day, I loved a khaki jacket in 00. In 00P, it fit everywhere nicely, but the length was about an inch too short. In 00R, the jacket was boxy, but it had the right length. In the end, I didn't get the jacket even though it looked amazing.<br /><br />But usually, I go for the bigger size and get it tailored to fit...if I really wanted it. Otherwise, I just wait until I find something that fits better. It makes my clothing options more limited.

Yes, it's good to think outside the petite's from time to time - and it definitely opens your options (while also increasing your alteration bill - but sometimes, it's worth it!). Glad you like the skirt - I have an upcoming post that will focus it - so stay tuned!Recovering Shopaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10433396507179103696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620826567758485219.post-77156090997343979752011-03-30T06:16:17.034-07:002011-03-30T06:16:17.034-07:00Thank you so much for this post!
