Below are a few more items from round 2 of my personal shopping appointment. I modeled most of my outfits for my PS and the store manager that I failed to take a few pictures, especially of one I loved! We had a lot of fun.
Winnie Dress, Black, Sz 6 – This is very comfortable (acrylic/rayon/nylon with a little stretch) but this color attracted quite a bit of fuzz and lint. The size 6 fit well but could have been a little more fitted in the waist. It also comes in Heather Slate.
Blythe Shirtdress, Dark Navy, Sz 6 – This also comes in Pale Camel (how can camel be pale?) and Poppy. I love the length and the skirt on this but the top was snug in my shoulders and arms and pulling across the bust.
Dream Fair Isle Vest, Forest Clementine, Sz S – I like this vest but didn’t like where it hit over this dress. It also comes in Caramel Flame, that has little flashes of pink throughout.
Maisie Dress, Getaway Green, Sz 6 – This is a very flowy dress with pockets. I like the color of this and it also comes in Graphite, Waterfloral and Abstract Floral Violet. I think the arms are a little clingy and I think the elastic waist will probably not stay put. I think I would pair it with a leopard belt.
No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Vintage Tweed, Blush, Sz 6 – Such a pretty Chanel-esque skirt. Also comes in Navy. This is paired with the Perfect Shirt with French Cuffs in French Blue, Sz 6. I had the Merino V-Neck Sweater in Viridian Green over the Shirt.
Look at the cute waistband on the interior of the skirt. LOVE!
Merino Boyfriend Sweatshirt, Heather Fern, Sz S – This is meant to be very oversized. When I see the words “Boyfriend Sweatshirt” I think of slouchy and oversized, not wide with dolman sleeves. My PS paired it with the Cafe Capri in Houndstooth Wool, Sz 8. This is my normal fit/size in the Wool Cafe Capri and JC pants in general.
No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Plaid, Sz 6 – This skirt is wool but was very lightweight from what I can remember. Added to my wishlist.
Hacking Jacket in Herringbone, Charcoal, Sz 6 –
Vintage Cotton Stripe Baseball Tee, Heather Flannel, Sz M
Trouser Jean, Dark Rinse, Sz 8
As you can see, the Hacking Jacket in a size 6 is more nipped and fitted at the waist but I could barely move my arms. (Something like “Fat man in a little coat.” a la Tommy Boy. Chris Farley was hysterical.) The tee is great and cozy, with stripes only on the sleeves. My PS pulled the Trouser Jeans because she knew I liked the Flare but would have had to take the hem up about 8 inches. These are just as long on me. While the Flare did not lose it’s ‘flare-shape’ at the bottom when I cuffed it, these did seem to lose their ‘boot-cut’ shape.
And this was the final outfit that my PS put together that I failed to take a picture of.
Origami Mini in Peony, Dream Fair Isle Vest in Caramel Flame, Perfect Shirt in Medium Gingham in Classic Pink
I thought this was a great outfit and tied the pink tones together well. I am becoming a fan of this print that this on the skirt. Would pairing this with the Darby Glitter Loafers be too much? I have a similar pair by Steve Madden that I bought for half the Darby price. And those come in 20 different colors, materials and patterns.
I can’t wait until the cooler temps finally get here.
Have a Great Day!
Ooh, I've been eyeballing the blythe shirtdress as well – it looks great on you in both colors!
thank you so much for the reviews/pictures! every single outfit looks so great on you. 🙂
I love that blush pink pencil skirt but i've no idea what i'd wear it with.
Oh I read your Mona shoe review, I think we might be a similar size, I'm not sure whether I'd be a 7 or a 7.5 in US shoes, what size are you in Louboutin? That may be the snobbiest question I have ever asked!
Thanks for posting all these IRL photos. The dresses are lovely on you. I have that hacking jacket and as I rarely button any jacket it fits OK.
Thanks for the reviews. I love the blythe shirtdress in either color way. The pink tweed pencil skirt is a beautiful as well.
