Tips & Warnings
Keep the top and the shrug in the same color family to elongate and slim your body.
Try the shrug on before you buy it. Make sure you can move freely despite the snug fit. Also check the fabric to make sure it won't shrink when you wash it.
Never match fabrics, even if you're wearing the same color. Always select different materials for the top and the shrug.
