These past few days I've been in the mood for soft, feminine pieces. Yesterday I created (on polyvore) what I wished I wore. But since I do not own the gorgeous polka dot blouse I concluded I'll have to work with what I already have in my closet, even though this soft pink blouse is a recent buy.  The red shoes were a last minute decision this morning. I needed more color than just the blouse and thought these shoes will do.

And thanks to this mood of mine, yesterday I bought a BCMGMaxAzria blouse because it looked so pretty and feminine, without trying it on. Well, turns out it's not very flattering, not my color..it washes me out (it's nude-ish I guess, couldn't find it online other than in black).

Do you ever buy clothing in-store without trying it on?

Hope you're having a great Wednesday!

  1. well its hard to agree or disagree, since I can't see your beautiful face...but the blouse is lovely..i would have made the purchase too:)

    I buy things without trying ONLY if I know the brand/designer well. Otherwise its worth the 5 minutes it takes.

    I like the outfit and feminine blouse.

  2. Love the outfit today! You should try the blouse on with a jacket, the detailing is awesome on it, maybe you'll like it better that way.

  3. I love this Victorian-esque look! You look so pretty and feminine, Lilly :)

    I've actually bought a Gap shirt without trying it on once on my way to the checkout line. The fit turned out pretty well so I was pleased. If it didn't work out, I'd hate to make another trip to return though.

  4. I love the Limited and I always forget about them. The only work pants I wear are the Limited.

    And yes, I buy stuff without trying it on if I'm in a rush or extremely lazy that day, but only if I have a good idea about how it will probably fit.

    Cute blog. Thanks for stopping by mine =)

  9. @Carly- Thank you :) I need to stop shopping on my lunch break, not enough time to try things on.

    @Nikki - Thanks :) I love the blouse in this outfit (I realized I probably confused everyone with my story about the other blouse I bought that's a similar color :)

    @Cee - Thank you Cee. Hate returning stuff. I'll have to wait until I go the Macy's again to return the blouse.

    @Lindsay - Limited does have nice work pants, I have a few pairs. Thanks for stopping by and commenting :)

    @Lotus - Thank you! :)

    @Kristin - Thank you! With me it's a hit or miss when ordering online :)

  13. The blouse is really pretty with its lacey details and that wonderful pinky color! And I've totally bought in-store clothing without trying it on, with varying levels of success... Sometimes I just don't want to go to a dressing room, hahaha!

  14. @Ramsey - Thank you :)

    @CafeBellini - I usually hand wash mine...as long as they can be hand washed :)

    @diana - thank you :)

    @Amy Kelinda - I know what you mean. Especially in winter I hate to try things on...too many layers to take off. :)
