    I've been experimenting with my shirt-tails lately. Fully tucked in, the "mullet"-tuck (think J.Crew), and all hanging out. The mullet-tuck and a fully showing shirt-tail isn't always so appropriate for work, but it's still kind of fun to see how it looks under layers of different lengths. In this case, a shorter jacket. 


    The story behind this AT Leopard Trench Blouse: I am in love with it.  I'm not sure what possessed me to try this on in the store, but when I did, there was no doubt that I wasn't leaving the store without it. In fact, I loved it so much, I didn't even really pay too much attention to the fit (does anyone else do this?!). It felt a little small in 0P (my regular size), but I thought that was just because it was polyester and there wasn't much stretch to it. But when I brought it home (to Canada, no less), I realized that it was *REALLY* small.  I'm pretty much a 0P/XSP on top across the board in most brands, sometimes an XXSP, or a regular XS in Canadian or Euro-brand things. But I had to exchange this for a 2P! I don't think that's ever happened before in my lifetime. But even still in 2P it is still a little snug across the chest when buttoned up all the way, and I'm not even large chested. I contemplated going up to a 4P but thought that this would make the blouse way too boxy around the waist. I love this thing though and I thought I would never be one to wear a leopard blouse. How things change.
