I had heard about this brand from a friend of mine and there was a big sale which I of course took advantage of. I love puff sleeve tops and I generally find them to be quite flattering. This top is pretty cute: I wore it to work with a sleek pencil skirt and I liked it. HOWEVER, two things – there are shoulder pads and I do have generally wide shoulders. When I first tried on the top, I thought it was WAY too 80s and not something I could wear. I ended up cutting out the shoulder pads and it still is pretty shoulder-heavy but I think it’s actually workable. The other thing to note is that the material is really thin. I don’t mind it because it’s summer and it’s pretty lightweight but something to keep in mind. Definitely doesn’t seem like super high quality material. When the fabric stretches against my chest, you can definitely see my bra but when I go about my day-to-day, it’s not that visible. I do recommend this brand but just manage expectations.,,,
