New-In (Clothes) : Calvin Klein Clothing
At
around the same time when I realize that designer bags have excellent
quality and worth their price I was also starting to collect designer
fashion items. I realized that luxury fashion items although more
expensive compared to the high street brands but their quality were also
much better. Then I slowly started to improve my wardrobe. I started
buying good quality high-street brands clothing and a couple of luxury
brands if my budget allowed. I slowly improved my wardrobe that was once
filled with department store brands and a handful of cute-but-cheap
clothing. In short, I just want to upgrade the overall quality of
my wardrobe. My goal is to have a well-curated wardrobe with nice
quality items (that can lasts for years) and less junk.
So
with that reason in mind I started hunting for discounted designer
clothing. Of course my budget wouldn't allow a full retail price for
designer wardrobe so I always try to find some discounted or bargained items. I would scoured these discounted designer items from
various sources. I would purchase them as long as they are less than
retail price ;p
And that's exactly what happened with this haul.
Several
days ago we went out to upgrade my husband's phone because he
desperately needs a fresh one after using his old phone for
years. We were having a post-holiday shopping mood that day so we
decided to shop around a little bit. We accidentally found out that there was a
factory outlet near the place where we went to upgrade husband's phone,
so we went there afterwards. Husband bought a new t-shirt from TopMan
and a new belt from Oakley, while I saw this blue jumper with loose
cowl-neck from Calvin Klein.
This
turquoise blue sweater/jumper really stood out for me from the rack.
There are many features of this jumper that I like very much. It was
only available in a size Medium though (my actual size is Small or
Xtra-Small because I'm very petite), but because I like it so much I got
emotional and purchased it anyway although I know it is a little bit
big on me 😅.
It's
from the Calvin Klein Performance line which is their line for
active-wear clothing. Well I personally thought this does not look
like an activewear clothing at all. I think this jumper looks chic with
it's open wide cowl-neck at the front, it's loose wavy shape, and other
unique features.
It
is made of thick sweater-like material so it's quite warm for the
colder weather. It also has a "quick-dry" feature (maybe because it's
from their activewear line). What
I love about this jumper is how the wide neck gives a dimensional look
to the overall outfit.
However, my most favorite
feature of this jumper is obviously the thumb hole !
I always wanted one of these since college! One day at the dorm I saw my friend wearing a sweater with a thumb hole in each arms and I thought that's a cool feature to have in a sweater, and I have been wanting one of those ever since. So now I'm so happy to finally own a thumb hole jumper in my wardrobe, hahaha, it's so silly, I know .. 😝

As
you can see on the photo above, the cowl-neck opening is very wide so I
need to always wear an inner top with this jumper. I also bought a
random brand tanktop in similar color to go with this jumper. Luckily
the turquoise blue tanktop I bought matches the jumper perfectly.
Notes for Petites:
I
think Calvin Klein clothing size runs big. So instead of my regular
size I should opt for one size smaller instead. You see, I bought a
Calvin Klein blouse before and it was slightly big on me too, but I
decided to purchase it anyway because it looks so elegant and different
from what I had in my wardrobe.
When
I saw this blouse I thought I could wear it to a semi-formal event but I
haven't worn it yet so far - because I haven't had a semi-formal event
to attend to. So it still hangs nicely on the rack in my wardrobe room.
It's a beautiful salmon pink blouse with a subdued white crocodile-esque
pattern. It's made of cotton-silk material and it has elegant design
with a nice little buttoned opening at the top. If I was still working
at my 9 to 5 office I'd definitely wear this beautiful blouse for work.
As
I mentioned above, I think Calvin Klein sizing runs a little upsize.
This blouse is also slightly big for my true size so the length of the
arms are a bit too long for me. So I don't think I can wear this blouse
in long-sleeve style, I probably would always have to wear it with it's
sleeves rolled up.
Nonetheless, I'm still patiently waiting for the moment that I can wear this salmon blouse!
