This tube top was from the super clearance rack at Jacob for $5. I liked the mustard colour and thought it would be a good colour addition to my wardrobe but I didn't try it on. At home I tried it on and realized that the elastic around the top was a little tight and cut into my body, making my armpits look...well...fat. As if any woman needs another body part to lament over... I'm too busy reprimanding my thighs for getting all up in each other's grill, so I don't have time to pick apart and hate my armpits. The tube top was one small step away from the donation pile, but with nothing to lose, I stretched the top over the back of a kitchen chair and left it for a week. It was a slightly ghetto fix but it actually worked, the elastic definitely stretched! Yet while I do love this outfit and the colours look so right (my humble opinion), I don't think knit tube tops are going to be a staple in my daily wear. The next time this piece will be worn is likely come fall, as a layering piece. But for today, the mustard tube top served its purpose and earned its $5 keep.

I like the yellow plus black and white combo! Cute skirt!
No, that isn't creepy about the posters. I love old advertisements, etc. I feel like even the most mundane things used to be so much more glamorous back in the day ;)
The colors in this outfit are so great!! Each piece is so different yet so complimentary to each of the others. I have the same issue with tube tops. They somehow simultaneously cut into my armpits while falling down constantly since my boobs are so tiny. Argh.
you look great! I love the yellow and red combo!!
