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.

  2. Hey babe! Thanks for your comment. You look great in the blazer! I love road shoulders, but if you want to reduce the bulkiness, you could take the shoulders in and replace the shoulder pads with smaller shoulder ones. What could work is also pushing your sleeves higher up your arms so it gives a less baggy-ish look. xx
