Although I prefer thrifting my office work clothes, I no longer have my own vehicle and the small town I live in has abysmal public transit. So I ordered myself the following items from Giant Tiger:

  1. A boxy, off-white, short-sleeve, viscose button-up shirt. Probably my favorite item from this order. It's very comfortable and it flirts with the trendy crop-top style while still being entirely appropriate for the office.

  2. A long, dark green, lightweight open blazer. This was the most disappointing item. Anything "long" looks frumpy on my stocky build, but I hoped this would be different because of the light fabric... Nope. To make things worse, the fabric is incredibly prone to wrinkling. I basically have to launder this after each wear, boo (normally I try to wash less often to decrease the wear on the fabric).

  3. Two printed, polyester V-neck blouses, one off-white and one taupe, with buttons and chest pocket details. These are ok. The fabric is softer than I expected, and drapes beautifully, but the cut is a tad too long and loose on me. So I need to either tuck them into my regular office pants, or wear them loose over tight pants (which apparently is a very outdated millenial look).

  4. Another printed polyester blouse, this one with dolman sleeves, with a brown and white floral pattern. I love it because dolman tops look fabulous on me and the colors suit me perfectly. I don't care much for the fake button details on the waist though, and I will probably take them out before I wear it again (hopefully not damaging the fabric in the process!)
