Kim’s mini photo shoot for the The Shopping Channel Blockbuster from Her August 2011 collection
Hi Everyone, Kim here.
With my upcoming shows on The Shopping Channel here in Canada on August 16th at 11:00pm and August 17th at 9:00am, 1:00pm and 5:00pm (eastern), I thought it would be fun to do a mini photo shoot showing the different ways you can wear the Blockbuster.
It’s a 2 piece set made up of a Long Sleeve V-neck Cardigan and Pant (Item # 576534) in Deluxe Jersey, and is available in 5 colors being Black, Oyster, Cocoa,
Blueberry and Rudy Red. The Cardigan is a tunic length at 31” with an empire cut, A-Line shape with pleats at the shoulder, having 7 buttons which allows you to wear it with or without a top underneath. The Pant is a Slim Leg Pant with a 4” Wide (non-elasticated) Waistband as the high quality of the fabric has 8% Spandex. I’m wearing the XS from head to
toe at about 5”4’ and as I always say if you are a different size on the top from the bottom go with the larger of your 2 sizes.
I would love to know what you think so please post your comments on my blog, on my Facebook (search Kim Mendelson or go to www.kimco.ca and click on the Facebook link) or you can send an e-mail to blog@kimco.ca.
Love, Kim
