It’s finally Thursday which means one more day until the weekend! Unless some of us took off this entire week due to the holiday. Last summer I was on the hunt for the perfect white top. The problem with a white top especially during summer is even though we all don’t want to admit it, but we sweat. In New York City it gets unbearably hot during the summer and I know that I am not the only one that sometimes takes two showers a day because of the heat. Since it gets so hot its almost impossible to find a white top that doesn’t show that you are sweating through it. I found this top at Bloomingdales on their sale rack with no label just a price tag on it. Crazy I know that it didn’t have a label but for $25 it was exactly what I was looking for. When looking for a summer white top try to find something that is breathable, but not sheer. This top with its tiered layers and detailing with also the layer of what feels like silk, but I am sure isn’t shows all the amazing details of the top without any sweat marks. I love how it is short enough to look like it is a crop top, but long enough that it covers my entire stomach. When on your hunt for the perfect white top take a picture with the flash on outside the dressing room. I say this because it is a fact that dressing rooms have different lighting and mirrors than what we have at home. Also we have seen it too many times happen to celebrities on red carpets where all the sudden their clothes are now see through. YIKES! If you are like me you don’t mind wearing a strapless bra even during the summer. My other suggestion is to bring or wear a strapless bra when you are out shopping because the last thing you want is to buy a top thinking that it can be worn with a strapless bra and then it doesn’t work once you try it all on at home. Then you will have to go all the way back to the store to return the top or you will just let it sit in your closet forever… If you haven’t already check out some of the major department stores this week. Some of them are still having major sales due to July 4th being on Tuesday. Hope everyone has a great day <3
High Waisted Denim: Nobody Denim
Since beginning my fitness journey I have noticed that normal jeans just don’t always fit me properly anymore, but I have discovered the solution… High Waisted jeans!! I found these jeans at Bloomingdale‘s by Nobody Denim and they are my new go to pair of jeans. I love how they are not only high waisted but they have rips in the knees and are also frayed at the bottom. I had never heard of this brand until recently and I now own 3 pairs of denim from them including a pair of army green denim shorts. The one thing I will say about owning high waisted denim is that if you are an hourglass shape like me that means you will need to go down a size than you normally would be in your jeans. However, for some people that isn’t the case! I suggest that everyone go to the store and try on a few pairs before making a purchase of high waisted denim. Some other denim designers that I have loved in my other jeans I didn’t necessarily love their cut in their high waisted pairs that they were showing. So even though you may be very brand loyal this is the chance to explore other brands like I did and you may find one that you love more than all of the ones you have been wearing. I was fortunate that when I purchased these jeans it was “buy more save more” at Bloomingdales so since I bought these jeans and the army green shorts they each turned out to be $68 marked down from over $250! With jeans like these you don’t always have to pair it with a short top. You can also pair it with a bodysuit underneath and a cool belt over even a flowy top. Even though I wear my high waisted denim often I don’t always highlight the fact that they are high waisted by having a top that shows that feature off. Sometimes they are just good for wearing with any outfit especially since they always seem to synch you in tighter ☺
