Today’s post is an ode to one lovely shirt with very poofy sleeves. Ironically, I bought this shirt after seeing it styled in a Reel on Instagram, and today I present to you my very own Reel! You can watch it over on the ‘gram, and for those who want photos and size and outfit details, this is the companion blog post!
I bought this shirt because I love the:
-Giant, poofy sleeves
-Generous shirttails for easy tucking
-Sweet Peter Pan collar
Bonus points:
-Slight shirring on the shoulders
-No-iron wearability
-Looks ridiculously cute
OUTFIT 1:
There is something about slim-fit overalls and a puffy top that always feels right to me. It’s like taking overalls and making them a little bit more sophisticated. Here, I decided to button up the shirt all the way and it still feels playful because of the Peter Pan collar style.
- Kit Shirt
- (M) sitck with your true size for a blousey fit
- Straight Leg Overalls
- (S) – These are fun to wear. They do stretch out a bit during the day.
- RALF boot
- no longer available, linked to similar in black. Use code 15ANDREA to save
- Circle Bag
- old from Baggu
OUTFIT 2:
I recently watched a video about how to balance outfits using the rule of thirds, and I think I’ve done it here! The blousey top = 1/3 and the long, full jeans make up the other 2/3. Aesthetically, our eyes like to see proportions on the third rather than half. It makes a lot of sense that would apply to outfits too!
- Kit Shirt
- (M)
- Wide Leg Jeans
- (28) Zara, I sized up
- Boots
- (no longer available)
- Woven Tote
- Dragon Diffusion
OUTFIT 3:
Would you believe me if I told you I’ve had this skirt since high school? I’ve held onto it because it seems like the kind of item that never goes out of style. AND it’s really well made (back when the GAP used to be top-notch).
- Kit Shirt
- (M)
- Wool Skirt
- the Gap, circa 2000
- Tights
- (L) Sheertex
- Boots
- Pascal 1460 Mono
OUTFIT 4:
And lastly, I went for a little bit of a cowboy vibe here with the belt and the pants. This outfit could have been finished off with almost any shoe. My heart always leans practical!
- Kit Shirt
- (M)
- Nico Belt
- c/o Freda Salvador, use 15ANDREA to save 15%
- Cowboy High Rise Straight
- (I sized up in these, they run slim in the hips)
- Sneakers
- All Star Run Hike
I hope you enjoyed this style session. Let me know if there is any sort of item you’d like to see for the next one!
I had that GAP skirt too and I loved it! I eventually got rid of it because I no longer prefer above the knee skirts on me. But man, those were the days.
What?! That is awesome! Love this!!
