Last weekend I went to my local shopping mall to check out what’s in store this season. I always pass Coast store but never go inside. Don’t what was stopping me all this while. I always would go to my usual stores Topshop, Zara, Next, Mango and Primark. However there was this navy blue cami top on the shop window which caught my attention so I decided to take the leap and go inside. I was trying to pick up the navy blue cami top but the hanger was quite high up for me. This is a common problem for us petite girls is in it? Why are hangers put so high up anyway there was a lovely petite shop assistant who tried to help me saying she could help just because she is used to the rails and not that she was taller than me :P. However I managed to pick up the cami top myself somehow after few attempts. The shop assistant lady was very nice as she took the items from my hand and placed it the fitting room for me to carry on browsing. I was very impressed with their service.
After browsing around I tried on the navy blue cami top with a black cover up and a black jacket. I quite liked the top with the cover up as opposed to the black jacket. The jacket fit me well everywhere except for sleeves. The sleeves length was bit long for me as you can see in the picture. I loved the colour of the cami top. The top is not from the petite section. The top is a bit long for us petites but I loved it, it could be worn as a dress or with skinny jeans as I did. You could also pair it with tights/leggings and high heels, it would look fab. The reason I wore a cover up is that I have gained weight and I don’t like showing off my arms. I would love to wear the cami top without any cover up in summer once I have lost some weight. Talking of weight have you read my post on weightloss challenge? If you are trying to lose some weight and need a partner in crime feel free to get in touch with me. Drop a comment below the post or tweet me. I would love to connect with you ladies. I am very delighted to have gone to Coast as I quite like their collection. I feel their clothing line suits my petite style. They do have petite range but only for dresses.
The blue cami top( Size 8) I tried, is priced £35 which I think is a good price and it was good quality fabric. The cover up( size XS) is priced £45 which I feel is a bit pricey. The jacket( size 8) is £75. I didn’t purchase any of the items at the moment but I am surely going to buy the cami top soon( as soon as it’s pay day).
