Elizabeth and James "Beach" Shrug

user-pic

I ordered this sequined shrug from Elizabeth and James last week and received it yesterday.  I was so excited and had envisioned a summer in LA with it; over a wife beater and skinny jeans (heading out to lunch with friends) and for evening I'd planned to throw on a skinny black tank dress under it. But when I put it on, I felt like a performer in a kabuki concert.  The sleeves were fine lengthwise but it balloons to a 12 inch width!  You can't tell on the model because she's got her arm close to her body.  But if she'd lift her arm, you'd see that there is yards and yards of unnecessary fabric.  This is the only downfall of shopping at midnight from the convenience of your home.  The clothes don't always look as they seem and don't fit as you hope.  At least shopbop has an easy hassle free return policy, just send it back within 30 days.  $365 at shopbop.com
