Hi Elegant Readers,

Hope you are having a wonderful start to the New Year! Blessings to you for a fabulous 2014.

I have such an exciting review that I am going to talk about.

Recently, Pauline Durban, President and Founder of Covered Perfectly reached out to Bubbling with Elegance and Grace to review one of her tops. Pauline, originally from the United Kingdom, moved to the United States in 1992.  I looked at her website and learned that her company started out of a need of finding more tops that made her look and feel more empowered.  Once she realized after talking to friends that they had the same challenge, she created Covered Perfectly.

To read more about her inspiring story please go to her website, www.CoveredPerfectly.com.

I can so relate to hearing friends and family tell you that you look great, however deep inside you do not feel that you look your best. I must admit that when I had looked at similar tops like this in the past, I did not think that would look that attractive on me.  Even though my top and pants size is in the single digits, I carry my weight in my hips and I have been really self-conscious about it. Even though I work out that’s a spot that gets to me. So, reviewing one of Pauline’s top intrigued me.

The Covered Perfectly website is fabulous. All of the tops are very beautiful. It was hard for me to choose which one to select for the review. After much thought, I finally narrowed my decision down to the Layer bottom Ladies Top in Turquoise. It looked so refreshing and vibrant to me. I choose this top because the flounce on the bottom reminded me of a ruffled skirt. The top comes in four colors: orange, green, turquoise and blue. The fabric feels like a second skin and can be worn all four seasons. This  top will work for every woman, no matter where you are located in the world.

I highlighted the top in the picture with some of my favorite jewelry pieces. The top gently glides along my figure, no bunching and accentuates my hips very well.

My NYDJ Jeans gave me that lean look and the Bellini boots gave me the height I like and it all came together perfectly. When I wear a tunic top or longer length top I always pair it with slim lined pants or jeans to balance out the outfit.

 You have to experience the softness of the top personally. I feel like I am in my softest pajamas; but I look put together and stylish. The top is so figure flattering for any body type.
In the second image below I am showing how much stretch is in the top. The size I am wearing is a small and I have so much room. However, there is still a feminine silhouette and the top does not look boxy or overpowering.  I often here that saying a garment is comfortable is a bad word.  Being stylish and having comfort at the same time are two pluses in my fashion diary. I styled this top with a ribbed close fit turtleneck, velour pants and BCBG suede sneakers as a fun going to the mall, out to the movies with the hubby or chilling at home by the fireplace.  Perfecto!

Covered Perfectly Bottom Layered Ladies Top

The third way I styled the Bottom Layered Ladies Top was pairing it with a jacket and almost to the knee high boots.  I wanted to see how this top shapes up with layering it under a jacket. It looks great. I layered the top with a suede Louis del Olio leather appliquéd jacket and Steve Madden Leather cognac boots.

For a closer look see how the top is the focal point under the jacket. The scoop neckline really elongates my neck and décolletage.

I could wear this outfit to church, out to dinner, to a play or a concert.

This top will work for a woman in her 20s and up. There is no age limit. Also, no worries about the fabric snagging or grabbing in the wrong places.

I created a video where I discussed further the features of the top.

This top offers so many different looks with a few key pieces out of my wardrobe.
