My client was shocked this was the same shirt I posted about recently because she said the shirt looked so big on the website. I knew exactly what she meant because when I tried it on from the box it felt big and puffy, which made me start doubting my purchase. But I pushed through because I really liked the bold color and pattern of this top, and I was really excited about it.  I put my styling hat on and got to work. I tied the top so that it wasn't so open and low cut and big feeling (I love it when brands give you a tie option!). Then I pushed the sleeves up a bit so you cold see more of my arms and less of the puffy sleeve all the way down. Then I tucked it in all the way around. Viola! My top got less puffy and big with a few minor styling adjustments. If you have a top like this in your closet, try a few of these tricks.  If you're not a fan of tucking in, try knotting the top at the waist or sloppy tucking. If there's not a tie, you can even use a tack stitch at the v, or turn the top around (see previous post). If you use one of these tricks, let me know how it works out or send me a pic! http://liketk.it/3iHLW #liketkit @liketoknow.it
