I’ve been looking for a non-cropped green bomber for fall since this past summer. There were some great looking ones at Topshop and Forever 21, but every time I pick one up to try on, they all turn out to be a little too short for my liking. Blame it on my height I guess, but it was actually so difficult for me to find one that didn’t cut me off above my waistline.
Luckily, I stumbled upon this one while I accidentally walked into the men’s section of Urban Outfitters the other day. My eyes zipped right to it and it was love at first sight. I actually even said aloud “damn I wish I could fit into men’s sizes” and low and behold… they had an extra small that fit me just right.
Usually when I try on men’s clothing that I like, its the shoulders that mess everything up. Although I have quite square and wide shoulders, they still usually aren’t enough to fit into a men’s shirt or jacket. However, with this piece, I was able to make it work because I actually wanted my bomber to be slightly over-sized. Plus I was going to be layering it on top of warmer clothes for the fall and winter, so having a little wiggle room wasn’t necessarily a bad thing at all. I also love that this one is quilted and the fact that it actually keeps me warm.
And of course, that it’s a little longer than your average bomber, and cuts me off at mid bum/hip. LOOOOOVE IT.
If you’ve been having the same issue as me, definitely check out the mens section of Topshop and Urban Outfitters. I’m so glad I stumbled across this cause it’s definitely going to be a staple piece in my fall wardrobe this year.
Also, this nude nail and bomber look has got me feeling all Kardashian-esque. They should probably just adopt me into their family now. (Kangel Kardashian has a certain ring to it right?)
More soon,
