I have to start off by saying, I am not really a glam kind of person. Most of the festivities that I attend during the holiday season consist of ugly sweater parties or casual gift exchanges, so glam and dressy really isn't the norm for me. I was, however, excited to try it out even if I didn't really have the appropriate setting or place to display my outfits. This is the Smitten Lace Top in Onyx paired with an amazing vintage headband from Icing on the Cake by Betsy. This picture does not do this headband justice it is an amazing color and so comfortable...When I first started exploring different options in the plus size world, mainly online opposed to the local brick and mortar stores (very few and not good selection in my neck of the woods), the one name that several people recommend I try was Kiyonna. I initially loved what they had but really didn't have a need for the type of clothes that they offer but one of the first must haves that caught my eye was the Smitten Lace Top . I felt this was gorgeous and I just had to have it in a couple different colors. I had been waiting and searching for awhile a possible sale or maybe end of the year clearance but that top seems to linger and stay around. I finally found it one day on Zulily for half price and I jumped on the deal and bought the Retro Jade and Onyx.
A couple more views of this top in the Retro Jade. I bought this in a 4x because of the website size chart and the Retro Jade top fit perfect and possibly a tad big. However, the onyx in the same size and brand fit a little snug, so go figure. Overall, the quality is luxurious and I would purchase from Kiyonna again and again just for the quality alone. But, these shirts are very flattering and can be worn with a skirt and heels to dress it up or denim and pearls for a more of a casual look.
