I have always loved to read and thus have always loved words, letters and fonts. Even my Affatshionista logo is made up of words. So when I saw Skorch Magazine’s post by Bellas Styles that she had purchased an Alphabet Skirt from Yoek in the Netherlands, I had to have one. I am not much of a pencil skirt girl, I like my skirts short and fluffy or pleated so I opted to an Alphabet “Tunic”. And I cannot even tell you how much I loved that the letters in the print were in curvy lines, so fun. I hope it is long enough to wear with tights.
I love that Yoek’s Plus Size is a size US 28-30, and the description of the item says This shirt has a flare fit.
So the top has arrived and it is just not very becoming. In general I do not wear flowy clothing and it is 95% Polyester and 5% Elastic. I am going to return it since it cost $113 Euros, which is about $150. I do love the print but it is unlikely I will order from Yoek again. Do you think it might have looked better if I had ordered a smaller size?
Ciao Bellas…affinity
it is a very cute top my dear. maybe a little moto vest or belt over the top? plus a lil pop of color somewhere?
Thanks for the suggestion Tiffany. I am flattered you read my blog. I am just not amused by the tunic. And for over $100 I really need to like the flow and the material.
I hate the fit. You’re right, unflattering – shows no shape. If that has a flare, you can’t tell. They misrepresented. Good you are sending back. Cute print but ugh.
It does look too big on you and I agree with Jenny, I don’t see the flare. Maybe a smaller size would have helped but I can’t tell from the photo.
Thanks Ginger Petunia: I think some of the problem is how the material hangs. I think the Dutch just have a different aesthetic.
