blazers with broad shoulders.

the thing about shopping online is you kinda never know what to expect in the mail when you receive your item. i recently bought an off-white Liz Jordan blazer from ebay and the description of the item wasn't the best but because i spotted it during the last few minutes of the auction, i decided to just go ahead with it.

i received the blazer this morning and realised it's tagged a size 16! blimey. that's four sizes bigger than what i normally wear. it indeed is a Boyfriend's blazer 'cos gaoster can probably wear it too. but anyhoos, i gave it a try and i think i'm gonna be bringing it to the dressmaker to get it altered 'cos - 1. there's shoulder pads, thus making my shoulders look broad instead of sharp in the Balmain way; 2. it's tad too big.
