A Fun Asymmetrical Top For Us Apple Shapes!

Hey everyone! I’m back with some photographs we took while we were in North Carolina visiting my sister and her family over the holidays. So, instead of knee-deep snow we will have a couple of posts with greenery and sunshine!

If you remember back to this post where I wore my favorite sweater and had a pretty pink tunic underneath but couldn’t find the link (still not on their website), well I ended up getting a long-sleeved version in the same fabric, which is the crepe fabric that skims my body without clinging. It also has the asymmetrical hem that is really in style right now. I was able to find a link for this top but only in the plus size version. Not sure what’s going on with their website, but hopefully you can find it at your local Macy’s if you’re interested.

I’ve admired the flouncy cuffs that are everywhere but I totally envision them dragging through my lunch or getting caught under my keyboard. However, these cute sleeves stay out of the way when I’m doing anything with my hands. I tried this one on at the store and it looked great when my arms were bent, so pretty and flowy, but really bad when I lowered my arms to my side, like making me look extra wide.

These pants you’ve seen before here. They are stretchy and have a great waistband for us apple-shapes. I love the length of them too, ending right above my ankle, especially with pumps like these super adorable green suede ones. The pants are also from Macy’s, from the Alfani brand, and they make a really nice variety of pants that fit our shape well, with lots of patterns, like these fun houndstooth plaid ones. They have them in a variety of colors but also in classic black here. This pair is a plus size in gray, which this brand also makes. I even tried on a shiny metallic pair thinking I would wear them around the holidays but they didn’t come home with me, though I’m thinking seriously about these fun patterned ones! At least this is one brand that I’ve found that is giving us options. Happy 2017 everyone!

  1. Hello Julia-I’m a wee bit late but just wanted to let you know how much I’ve enjoyed your year-end wrap-up! Also, a BIG congratulations on your interview with Sylvia-how exciting was that?? Love your beautiful blue winter coat too; I wore one in the same color over the past two winters after buying it on a complete whim because it was so NOT one of “my colors” and got more compliments than pretty much any other coat I’ve ever worn! Please keep up all the great & very helpful posts! Talk to you soon from a fellow Michiganian, Cathy C.

    1. Thank you Cathy! You probably recognize some of the locations in that wrap-up, or at least the weather! Thank you as always for being so supportive. I wouldn’t keep doing this without hearing from you and all the others. Happy 2017!
