I was thrilled when Kiyonna sent me the Haven Faux Wrap Top. It is an absolutely beautiful shade of red in a soft, stretchy fabric that is so comfortable to wear. As with all my Kiyonna pieces, I love it! The sleeves are comfortable. The neckline is a bit adjustable to offer more or less coverage. The ruched waistband sits at a great place, while the A-line cut of the "skirt", as they call it, gives ample room for the hips.
I paired this top with some slightly distressed skinny jeans and boots for a more casual, laid-back look. This outfit adorned me at our annual Friendsgiving dinner. Every year, my friend (and fam) Nigel, hosts this awesome dinner of a wonderful assortment of friends in his tiny apartment. This year we fit 32 people in there! Every one brings a tasty dish to share, as we drink wine and enjoy the company of great people.
I highly recommend starting your own Friendsgiving tradition!
And because I have such a fun time trying items different ways, I also dressed up the top with some fancier pieces you could wear to a holiday party. Here the Haven is paired with a matte sequin pencil skirt, black pumps, and a statement necklace. I really love how this turned out as well and hope I have a party to go to soon!

How would you wear this top? Is there a color you want more of in your wardrobe?
Disclosure: I am a member of the Kiyonna Blogger Brigade and they provided me with the top in this post. All opinions on the item are my own.
I really love your Friendsgiving get together, it looks like so much fun :) , and the red suits you!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE the red. I like it with the jeans and sparkly scarf, but the dressed-up look with the skirt is amazing. Black and red is just classic.
ReplyDeleteAs for colors I want more in my wardrobe...hm. I don't think I'm particularly skewed in any direction right now, which is a first for me. I mean, there are colors I don't own (or don't own much...like yellow, orange, and pink), but those tend to be less than optimal on my skin tone and/or with my hair.
You always dress so cute! I am plus-sized as well, but oddly shaped and I don't know that I could pull off some of your looks... though they're TOTALLY adorable. :)
