I just HAD to have this shirt - now what?
Permalink Closed

I mean, I literally stalked it on ebay, I had to have a vintage turquoise mexican embroidered shirt. HAD TO HAVE IT. I got it & now I have no clue what to wear it with. I'm reluctant to pair it with blue jeans because of the color, and to be honest I look pregnant in it. So do I chalk it up to wearing on "fat" days, or can you create an outfit with it? Help.

What about with really light or really dark denim?  Those shirts are tricky because they blouse out and are hard to wear with skirts.  But then- it wouldn't look right with khakis or tailored pants.  Hmmm- I would find a way to work it with jeans- either full length, denim skirt, or capris.  It might also look nice with white denim.

white pants


maybe a long skirt, if it doesn't look too costume-y that way

How about going totally "deserted island" and cut off some white jeans to mid-shin so they fray.  Get a belt (maybe like my disk belt?) to cinch the waist so it doesn't look so maternity-y.  Huraches or some espadrilles would complete the look.

I've got tons of shirts that make me look pregnant, I've been doing this thing but it may not be for you, where I sort of haphazardly tuck in a tiny bit of (usually) one side of the shirt, so you can see a tiny bit of the waistband of my jeans. Maybe you could try it, or try it with a belt or something, I don't have many belts so I haven't really tried it with a belt. Anyways, may not be for you, but hope this helps!

I think this top is soo cute!  I think it'd look really cute with some crisp shorts (a la Nicole Richie) maybe tucked in one side or with a low slung belt?  I say try on with differnt bottoms and see what you feel!

I LOVE the top and I really like Vivi's suggestion of pairing it with shorts, "a la Nicole Richie", or you could try it with some Bermudas. I have a top which I love but it honestly is a bit of a "pregnant" top and I wear it with fitted Bermudas and I like the look plus it's really comfortable, always a plus.

I think it would look great with white or khaki bermudas, or even a lighter olive green.  I agree that a low-slung belt would look good, too.
