what i'm wearing: fun pieces from tobi

Do you see a bunch of online stores and wonder if the clothes are good, how they'll fit, etc? I've wondered that about Tobi, and now I got to try them out!

They sent me three items and as always, I'll keep it real in my opinion/review/etc!

First up: A velvet party dress. 

Holiday party season may be over, but that doesn't mean you can't wear a dress throughout the winter. The thigh high boot trend helps everything stay warm even in a dress. It's a lovely thing.

For daytime:

-velvet dress from Tobi

-white sweater from Express

-flat thigh high boots from JustFab [similar]

For nighttime: 

-velvet shift dress from Tobi

-old black leather jacket [similar]

-black lace-up boots from JustFab 

-gold drop necklace from Amazon [similar]

I got the dress in a medium, which is my normal dress size. It was a little tighter than I expected it to be, but it's actually perfect for these kind of outfits. With a jacket or something over it [even though it has a fun, low back], it's everything a girl could hope for.


Second piece: Plunging blouse

-plunge twisty/knot top from Tobi

-jeans from Express

-same lace up boots as above [open toed version at Tobi]

-silver drop necklace from FabFitFun [similar]

I wore this to a work event in NYC, which may have been a bit adventurous because it's definitely low cut and open on the bottom, but I think it was still okay. It's subtly sexy, and that's my favorite kind. It's a very light material, which was also unexpected, but in black it's not see through.


Finally, a striped turtleneck croptop. 

-crop top from Tobi

-jeans from Express

-booties from Kohls [kinda similar]

The crop top is SO FUN. It's velvet and mesh, turtleneck and bell-sleeves.... it's a lot of trends in one! I originally planned on wearing black pants with it [which will happen eventually] but decided to go full monotone for this post. I never wear these booties and they need some love... what do we think?

The lovely thing about Tobi is that they always have great sales... it's one of those places I'll be checking regularly now that I've gotten my first order. Have you gotten anything from there before? Link me!

love,

outfit: i went 90s neon for the package tour

To be honest, I don't totally know what decade/era this outfit would fit into. Early 90s with the neon? Mid-late 90s with the crop top? Meh, whatever. All of those years were represented in *package* form at the Package Tour.

I had bought a neon skirt for the HOT Summer Fiasco, but never got to wear it, so I held on to it and tried to find a crop top to go with it. Normally I'm all anti crop tops because sometimes you just don't need to be that slutty, trashy, whatever you wanna call it. Now that I've tried the high-waisted skirt/crop top combo, I could become obsessed.

-top from F21 for $8 

-H&M skirt $12 [similar]

-F21 jellies sandals $9

-earrings from China

TOTAL: $30!

That little bit of skin showing is so sexy to me! Plus: It's the most flattering part of anyone's torso, right?! I'll never show off that little tire around my belly button, but this skirt conceals it!
And even though the skirt is a little see-through, it's so light and flowy and fun and... well, I'm truly obsessed. I don't even care if you think this looks cute or not. 

Also, you should know that once I actually headed out, I totally added my Sorry I Party fanny pack. 

Now I just need to find more opportunities to wear this/something like it. Damnit. I shouldn't have posted a picture.... now everyone's going to know I wear it all the time!

love,

elizabethany
