Empire state of mind crop shirt

Product Description

On Wednesday Empire state of mind crop shirt morning in front of Clovelly Surf Life Saving Club in Sydney’s east, Australia’s 2024 Olympic opening ceremony uniforms were revealed. With a squint and a little imagination, the concrete-paved beachfront could be the banks of the River Seine in Paris, where Australia’s Olympic athletes will sport the uniform in just 100 days. So long as you ignored the swimmers taking their morning laps, that is. (Reports suggest the Seine may be too contaminated to host swimming events.) For the 10th time, the opening ceremony uniform has been designed by Sportscraft in collaboration with the Australian Olympic Committee, plus custom shoes by Volley (its fourth Olympic partnership). On this occasion, the uniform was “inspired by Parisian fashion”, says Elisha Hopkinson, the CEO of APG & Co, the parent company of Sportscraft. “Our designs blend style with functionality, ensuring our athletes feel confident as they take on the world stage.”

I start with the Empire state of mind crop shirt Shein BAE Glitter Sheer Mesh Top Without Bra. The shirt looks like the pictures: long-sleeved and made of stretchy black mesh, with glittery flecks embedded in the fabric. I’ve bought a size large, and it’s too big: the shoulder seams droop sadly off my collarbones. The elastic seams are puckered. It’s less itchy than anticipated, and the fabric is slinky and cold against my skin. I feel like a different version of myself, like the kind of girl who captions her Instagram posts with the sparkle emoji. I imagine wearing my new Shein BAE Glitter Sheer Mesh Top with a bra and black jeans, drinking with friends. I imagine looking across the room and seeing a girl dressed nearly exactly like me, but she’s wearing the Shein BAE Lettuce Edge Glitter Mesh Top Without Bra, instead. My other new Shein garment is both uglier and more distinctive. It’s the Shein Unity Tie Shoulder Split Thigh Cami in lime green. The garment inside the ziplock bag is crumpled around a small square of tissue paper, which serves no discernible purpose. I’m surprised to see that neither the dress nor the shirt has any paper price tags attached: there’s nothing to indicate that the clothes are brand new beyond their intense chemical smells. I ordered this dress in a medium, and it barely pulls over my hips. The fabric is a medium-thick stretch knit similar to a heavy T-shirt. Thin, wavy folds have been stitched into the material, creating a ruched effect. The texture is unusual, but almost a nice detail. (My friend takes one look at the dress and describes it as having both the look and feel of a ribbed condom.)
