A Black Drapey Top–Ping Pong Post No. 12

Posted on

by Kremb de la Kremb

This was almost going to be our last Ping Pong Post, but luckily the three of us have put our thinking caps on, and we have figured out how to continue. In terms of mailing our items across the seas, this is the 12th time we’ve done it: this time around the black top we’ve styled belongs to Sam, yet I am now the lucky owner as she’s passed it on to me for keeps. She definitely felt buyer’s remorse with this item after she paid way too much. That’s the worse when that happens, and usually the very reason that I wait for the sale. For me, and with some of the (unwanted!) weight I’ve gained, this kind of top is perfect. It rounds in where I’m skinniest at my legs. When I do gain weight I am definitely an apple, carrying my kgs/lbs at my midsection, breasts and even chin. My legs always seem to stay the same. With a top like this styled with an untucked shirt, you have no idea of the muffin top beneath! Hahha! Yes, I do have one–especially now. But! I will do everything in my power to style it away. Wait to hear what I’m going to do about the extra kgs/lbs till Wednesday–the day after I turn 45!

Samantha from Fake Fabulous

Look at how ingenious Samantha wore this top: backwards! It makes it so cool–and very on trend with the sloping back. It’s funny to me that this top fits Sam as a dress! This demonstrates the size difference I experience with the PPP. Both Samantha and Anna are very petite. My full figure took off about 4 inches from this black top. One other style note that I love here, is the vinyl leggings underneath. This layer, along with the strappy bralette, give Samantha’s look plenty of edge. She’s basically a rock star!!

Anna of Anna’s Island Style

You would never know that Anna had a very difficult time styling this black top. In fact, out of the 12 installments, she found this one to be terribly hard, yet in my opinion she looks effortlessly classy. A cinched waist highlights here petiteness perfectly and the black top serves as a nice contrasting layer–at least in my opinion. I think she made it look easy to wear!

Me, Kremb de la Kremb

Thanks for this black top Samantha! I think I will find plenty of use from it. It’s a great layering piece for me–especially for the temperate winter we’re having in Hong Kong. I’m still waiting for the usual cold blast, but maybe it won’t come this year….

Stay tuned for Wednesday…I’m going to divulge how I plan to lose some of this extra weight.

  3. I’m sure you’re going to get lots of wear out of this top too. It really suits your shape and you clearly have no trouble wearing black either. Thanks Annie for stepping in with your idea to keep this feature alive. I can’t wait to see next month’s challenge!
    Good luck with your diet, but don’t loose those delicious curves x

  4. As I told Anna, I’m not really in love with this top on any of you. That said, I’ll also be waiting to see the in genius ways you continue to reinvent it!

    1. That’s ok not to like it. I really appreciate your honesty. That’s golden! And when an item is passed around like this, it’s hard for everyone to like it. Have you had a favorite? I think one that surprised me was Samantha’s orange shrug. I never would ever wear one, but it took me pleasantly by surprise!

      Love, Ann

  5. Your look is my fave, Anne, edgy and fun and bold. Served up just the way I like it!! And I can’t wait to read your plans for attacking those extra inchesd

    1. Thank you Sheela! I love being edgy!! You’re the second to say so. That’s a rare word to describe me, but one I could get used to!!

      I’m on it: the Bone Broth Diet. So far so good–yet I’m only finishing Day 3 as I write…. *fingers crossed*

      Love, Annie

  6. lovely layering!, I love this top as a vest over your shirt and turtleneck!, and such a fabulous accessorizing!, I also love your earrings and cute bag, and booties!
