~ Lightweight Camp Shirt in Whisper Lamé, size 8 ~
I was very interested in this shirt seeing it on the hanger. It’s pretty wrinkled and was put out without steaming, which it definitely needs. There was an SA who was doing that but none in my size were ready. This fit well. The arm length is a little long in the size 8 but it always is. That’s me and not the shirt. This did feel very comfortable on. I was expecting a little scratchiness but there’s none.
As you can see, from my black bra, this is also very sheer. I know the model wearing this is fair-skinned so it looks less sheer on her. It’s too sheer for my skin-tone and a cami defeats the purpose of it being lightweight. This states it is machine wash so that a good plus. I don’t know if it can be put in a dryer but I’m guessing it can’t. You’ll need to give it a good steaming as well. I really suggest you try this shirt on if you can to see how you will like the sheerness.
~ Double-Stripe Pencil Skirt, Black Natural, size 6 ~
I was so excited to see this pencil skirt. I haven’t been very interested in them in quite a while. I have gotten rid of most in my closet except for those special ones, including the Delfine Pencil Skirt. That skirt is a Linen Blend while this one is a Cotton/Poly blend. It’s one of my favorite skirts and I’m glad to now see the same pattern in both black and pink.
I am a size 6 in JC pencil skirts and this one just fit. A little Spanx (or weight loss) will smooth this out. This does not come in Petite sizing and the length is 25 inches on the regular skirt. If it had come in a Petite I would have definitely put this on my wishlist. There’s also a Dress in the same print and colors.
So, YAY for the skirt and a pass on the shirt for me. I would hate to have to layer the shirt under a cardigan since it is nice. It would look cute as a cover-up over a bathing suit (sale purchase of course).
What do you think of these two items? Are you a fan of the Lightweight Camp Shirt?

I bought the whisper lame shirt and agree it is very sheer.
