Day 3: The Snowscape Tank.
The Snowscape Tank has sometimes made me scratch my head a bit — the beautiful white color and its very name make you long to pull it out during winter, and yet as a thin silk tank, there’s no way to wear it without a sweater on top that would sadly cover up and lay bulkily atop the beautiful embellished neckline that makes it so special in the first place. How to style it then? Initially I was stumped, but then I observed the trick that many other bloggers seem to have figured out: simply pull the embellished bib portion over one’s sweater, thereby showcasing tank’s dazzling detailing and helping one keep warm at the same time. Brilliant! I shamelessly copy this idea from the community every time I wear the blouse.
In Anjali’s outfit:
To my own surprise, the Snowscape Tank has been one of my winter staples. I really thought the neckline would make it too dressy for work. On the contrary it’s helped me keep things casual by its own dressy nature — I can pair it with casual items and the result is still a couple of notches up. I’ve previously showcased it in looks in this OOTD post and this one. In both looks I had the tank on top so that this pretty silk thing could be displayed in full glory. But like Anjali I’ve seen lots of our fellow bloggers showing only the bib and decided to give that styling a shot.
I decided to tuck the tank under a sweater. It works very well with the Pinafore Pullover! This sweater fits like a dream once I sized up to a large for length. It’s big but I like it. I feel totally comfortable in this outfit, from my button-and-pleated overlayer to the peaks and valleys of the tank to my (comfortably!) wedged feet. I owe the shoe find to the wonderful J over at The Look For Less. I’d been dying over a pair of $800+ Chloe boots when she posted about these lookalikes from Go Jane. They are just like the real thing. I had the Go Jane boot on my right foot and the Chloe boot on my left and not one of my friends nor the store clerk could guess which one was which. An awesome buy for $800 less? Yes please! Now I just need tan laces to complete the transformation. Go Jane has since sold out, but Charlotte Russe has them now and you can buy them via the link in my outfit notes below.
