Try-On Tuesdays Archives - Moments of Musing

Welcome to another week of my try-on series!

A few weeks ago, I had a lot of fun trying clothes on for a project I worked on. As you can tell from the photos, my toddler had a lot of fun, too. We danced and laughed. I took photos and asked opinions. Since it’s now October I thought it’d be a good time to share these fall tops and sweaters.

Here are the poll results and what I decided on the pieces:

Plaid Peplum Button-down

There was a tie! I wanted to like this top but did not think it did much for me so I left it at the store.

Criss Cross Reversible Sweater

The vast majority of pollers liked this top. I loved it so I bought it!

Criss Cross Sleeve Oversized Sweater

I was a bit surprised more of you didn’t like this one. I think it’s because it’s roomy but that’s sort of what I liked most about it. I could just picture it over leggings in the fall. I loved it so I bought it!

Pink Bell-Sleeved Top

I did not ask for opinions because 1) I didn’t think to and 2) I thought I’d buy it regardless. I kind of loved it but was a bit on the fence. I did decide to buy it, have worn it for a photo shoot, and I’m happy I did because I really like it!

Bonus:

I spilled that this kimono was originally $90 but I got it for $23. It is Free People and while I can’t find it online, this kimono is similar. I think it’s a good summer and fall piece.

This was a lot of fun so I plan to do more in the future! Thanks for your opinions 🙂

Trying on clothes has not always been fun. When I was younger, I used to pick apart my body if I did not like how a clothing item fit and I’d compare myself to other girls in the dressing room. Fast forward many years, two children, and two pregnancies and C-sections later, and I feel the best I have in a while. I no longer critique my body the way I used to. I find pieces that flatter my figure and quite frankly, I’m proud of my body. Sure, I have a bit of a saggy belly but I generally like the way I look!

Due to your participation in my recent Instagram story polls, I decided I’d share the results and what I ultimately decided. So, welcome to the first week of my new Try-On Tuesdays series!

Outfit #1: Ruffled Dress

This was my original outfit pick. In my head, the dress looked better on, wasn’t as loose and was a tad bit longer. If I lifted my arms, I’d flash my goodies. So, this was a no.

Outfit #2: OTS Floral Romper

I wanted to love this romper more. It flattered me in the stories but when I put it on a second time, it went from flattering to frumpy real quick. It was baggier than it seemed at first so it, too, was a no.

Outfit #3: Loose Top w/ Ripped Jeans

This was my easiest no of the bunch. I felt like it did nothing for me (but hide my future food baby lol).

Outfit #3: Peplum Top w/ Ripped Jeans

This was a favorite of yours and mine. I felt the most comfortable and thought it flattered my body the most. I’ve worked hard (eating well-wise… I still need to get into an exercise routine) this postpartum period so I don’t want to hide my body. This was MY PICK! ✅
