I love my sister—she is quite petite and thin though, so she shops at places I cannot. We were in a boutique in Los Angeles and she convinced me to get this little waistcoat. It belongs to a line called “Meghan.” The line is popular with young starlets and it does not go beyond a size 12. This waistcoat is adjustable though, so it can fit larger sizes.

Whenever I see it in my closet I am reminded that one does not always have to stick to stores that only cater to plus sizes. It’s kinda scary, that “fat girl in a skinny store” feeling, but I approach it with a “who cares” attitude. Who cares! Go forth, into that skinny store.

The back is the best part. The color is most accurate in the first picture. The silk is so vibrant and the bow makes it feel kind of like a luxurious apron, lol. You can wear it open too, I like to do this under jackets for cool layering.
