So, I fell in love with this wrap top earlier this month, and thought it would be perfect for the season. After my surgery, I lost some weight, and now this top is really big on me! That’s what I get for waiting a few weeks to wear something. haha To top things off, it wrinkled up on the car ride before we took these photos; so my apologies for the wrinkles-I really did iron it on the morning I wore it!

Despite the top being a bit too big, and having a few wrinkles, I am in love with it! The fabric is smooth and comfortable in the fall weather. I love the stripes, and mildly voluminous sleeves. It fits into the current autumn trends without looking costumy. Love that! Also, who doesn’t love a dramatic bow?! I love the large wrap belt on this top, it’s really fun!

This striped wrap top has a 1970s vibe, so I decided to pair it with my new flare jeans for an overall vintage, 1970s look. The 70’s is my favorite fashion decade, so anytime I can emulate the vibe, I go for it! Wrap dresses, wrap tops, flares, and big sunglasses are all trends from the 1970s that I love. I don’t care if teeny, tiny sunglasses turn into a thing someday; I will still wear oversized, big sunglasses. I love how they look, and how they hide my big cheeks. haha

While this look has definite 1970s inspiration; stripes, multi-color pieces, and large sleeves are very on trend this fall 2018 season. This top encompasses all of them! Love that! Plus, it’s on major sale-also something to love about it!
