I have always had a fondness for girly things. If the item is made out of flowy material, spinning usually ensues as I skip around the house, obnoxiously flipping the hemline. This is when my husband tells me that I resemble a cupcake or some other frilly object.
When I saw this sweater on the Shein website, I almost died! I love the ruffle neckline and hem. The weight of the brown tweed balances out the sweetness. Full disclosure: the arms of this sweater are tight and the body is over sized (I’m wearing a large). I had to rubber band the back of the sweater to give it some shape. I plan to get it altered. I typically wear a size large or 12 to give you perspective. If you’re ordering from Shein, the quality is good but be sure to take your measurements and compare them to their size chart to make sure you get the right fit.
To toughen up this look, I wore my black distressed jeans, edgy Michael Micheal Kors cross body bag, Stella & Dot Pave Sphinx ring, and my simple ballerina flats. It rained during the shoot, so I opted for a messy up-do to show off the ruffle neckline.
