Blackheart Lingerie Order

I have a hell of a time resisting shopping when the word "SALE" is involved, so over Memorial Day weekend when my inbox was flooded with specials at all my favorite stores, it was really tough to pick only a few stores to buy from!

I ended up going with some stuff from BlackHeart Lingerie because it was cute and also because the stuff was seriously so affordable. I got everything pictured in the collage above (and some more basic pieces as well!) for around $75.

Crop tops are still as popular as ever and I do own my fair share, although I've been wearing them far less frequently than I used to. Both the bat cami and the chiffon shark bite hem tank are cropped and I would choose to wear them differently than most of the girls who are currently sporting them. I don't like to show too much bare skin for every day occasions, so instead of wearing high-waisted denim or skirts with a bare midriff, I wear a long tank top dress and layer the crop top over it. I got an XL in the bat cami, simply because I like my crop tops loose-fitting.

I'm much more into high-low hems and long tunic-cut tops in general at the moment, hence the ram and BLACK MAGIC tanks. The Iron Fist cat bat tee was a bit out of character for me. It's cotton, which I tend to steer clear of, just because it fades so quickly in the wash, plus it would normally be a bit too D.I.Y. for me to pay out of pocket for. In general, if I want the slashed/shredded tee look, I just grab my sharp sewing scissors and hack away at a band t-shirt, but I really did like the cat/bat vampire graphic.

Although nearly all of the tops pictured above look great with fitted bottoms (i.e. leggings, skinny jeans, bodycon skirts), I like to keep things simple with some sheer black pantyhose and shredded stockings and garter belt over top. It really does work with everything and hose are thin enough that I don't overheat in my New Rocks during the Sacramento 100+ degree summer.

Overall, BlackHeart has some really cute stuff and I will continue to check back for new items frequently, but a word of advice if you're considering buying anything from them - their sizes run a bit small. I usually get smalls and mediums in Junior's size brands (i.e. Forever 21, Hot Topic, etc.) and so I got mediums to be on the safe side (I prefer something be a bit too baggy than a bit too tight). While everything fit me just fine, I would have ordered a size up had I known things ran a bit small.

Thanks for reading!
