Every time I go past the shops, it is tempting to see what new clothes are in season. I have noticed lately that shops consistently update their stock more and more. This is most likely a marketing tactic to entice the shoppers to keep coming back such as myself.
Anyway, it has been a while since I have stepped foot into Sportsgirl so I decided to have a look what was in stock. There was a wide array of clothes from basic to preppy to very stylish. I really wanted to try on the tiger t-shirt but I decided that I had way too many already in my closet. Instead, I decided to try on some basic styles as well as a dress that I would not normally wear. As much as I love Sportsgirl, I cannot wear every piece as it does not fit well.
The first item I tried on was the polka dot dress. Although this is not normally my style, it did not look as bad as I thought it would.
However, I don't recommend that you try dresses on with singlets underneath.
The second item was an dress overall with a basic white tee. I would have preferred to have a black basic top underneath as it breaks the lightness in my opinion.
Maybe sometime, I would like to purchase the dress overall if I can think of something to wear with it from my wardrobe. I guess it could also look great with short boots too.
Petite shopping at Sportsgirl
- Not every item is going to fit perfectly lengthwise if you are under say 165cm so this may mean alterations. It may be easier for jeans and pants rather than certain styles of skirts to be altered.
- The sleeve length may be too long on some items so be sure to try tops and knits on before purchasing it. I find this especially with S to M size.
- Dresses are not too much of a problem but some can still be slightly large regardless of whether it is an XXS or a 6.
It would be nice if Sportsgirl could do a petite range sometime similar to Topshop.
Has anyone had a trip to the clothes store lately?
Until next time,
