What I Wore: Bunco Casual
Tuesday, December 10, 2013
The weekend before Thanksgiving was our monthly Bunco night. It provided a great distraction from all this recent medical drama and a chance for me to catch up with friends I had not seen since my diagnosis. Bunco nights are always so much fun because we laugh so much. Being surrounded by wonderful people never fails to be uplifting to the spirit.
I kept it casual and cute for moving from table to table. I really didn't feel like fidgeting with a fussy outfit. I wore this comfy peplum top from Torrid, a new item I picked up during a recent sale. It is made of a stretchy knit fabric and has little sparkly stripes. It is a great top that can probably be dressed up a bit too, though I have only worn it this way. Never one to shy away from sparkles, I added my rhinestone necklace and sequin Converse to kick up the fun factor.
Fit wise, I ordered a size 4, but had lost about 15 to 20 pounds by the time I wore it. I could probably size down, but the arms would be tighter. It still fits good and doesn't feel too loose, but if you like a more fitted look, size down.
This is definitely a go-to kind of outfit for running errands and such, and is pretty indicative of an average "Hailey" outfit.
Glitter Striped Peplum Top - Torrid (Grey version here)
Black Knit Cardigan - Lane Bryant
Dark Wash Skinny Jeans - Old Navy
Sequin Converse - Target (there are some on eBay now.)
Rhinestone Star Necklace - Betsey Johnson
Thyroid Cancer Awareness Bracelet my sister gave me :-) It says "No one fights alone!"
Are you a sparkles-all-the-time kind of girl or do you keep it a little more toned down?

It's comfy and casual, but you're still well put together -- works for me :) as to the sparkles, well, I keep them to a minimum but I've been known to wear a few sparkly things.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Had any luck finding more sequin stuff this season? I may have to wear this outfit to the mall tomorrow. Last minute Christmas shopping and picking up stuff for recovery!
