The holidays are just around the corner, and if you're looking for , I recently got my hands on some seriously chic pieces from . I've been shopping at Penningtons for years and have many cute pieces from them that I swear by. When I found out they were doing a holiday collection with Canadian media personality , I knew I definitely wanted to try it out.
She always looks incredibly fab on and I love that she often wears bold prints, which is something I also favour. If I can look even a fraction as glam as she does this holiday season, I'll consider it a win! For reference, all of the pieces I tried on were in size 2X. I sometimes wear 3X as I find it more comfortable to hide in clothing that's a tad too large for me, but I'm trying to be better about wearing my true size.
So, scroll onwards for my honest review of the new ! This black velvet blazer was the piece I was most unsure about, but it ended up being my favourite in the collection. I find that blazers tend to make me look bulky, but something about the fit and fabric of this piece actually emphasized the curve of my waist rather than it getting lost under the piece. I tend to overheat easily, so I was worried I'd find the velvet to be stifling, but it was actually super breathable.
I also love that this is an incredibly versatile piece — I could easily wear this with jeggings and a tee for an easy work look, or pop it on over a dress for something a little more luxurious. Black Velvet Blazer with Tailoring Collar T.
