The Gold Foil Leaf looks to be the May Floral print from J Crew. I wasn’t too sure about the print when I saw everything online and only came away with liking one item once I saw what was in store.
~ Gold Foil Leaf Pencil Skirt, size 6 ~
~ Carrie Cami, Ivory, size 8 ~
~ Denim Jacket in Ecru Wash, Medium ~
~ Seville Metallic Espadrille Wedges, size 6 1/2 ~
By far, this is my favorite of the print. I created the outfit with the Denim Jacket in Ecru Wash and love it! It’s the perfect blend of dressy, casual, and comfortable.
I can still fit comfortably in size 6 pencil skirts, so this does fit TTS. I think the wider waistband in this skirt helps with that. It comes in Petite so I would get the 8 Petite to shorten the length.
The Carrie Cami fit loose but I didn’t adjust the straps like I should have. A size 6 would have pulled across the chest. It was a beautiful silk and felt lovely against the skin. You can see my review of the Denim Jacket in Ecru here.
~ Linen Zip-Front Dress in Gold Foil Leaf, size 8 ~
Though the exposed zip is rose-toned, I still do not like it down the front. I also had to squeeze into this as the zipper would not go up. I don’t know if it was this particular dress and another size 8 would have fit differently but from that dress, I would have to size to a 10…if I wanted to eat or breath. I do like the style of the dress, fit-and-flare. The print looks nice though I wonder if this wouldn’t have done better as a sheath dress with a boatneck top. And yeah, cleavage is there again. I would hope a size up could fix that issue.
~ Garden Pant in Gold Foil Leaf, size 8 ~
I was excited about the Garden Pant in general but the linen would not give much when I put them on. Right now, I would say these are TTS but I hope I can try on the solid color to be sure. This is supposed to be a little cropped at a 30″ inseam so I would have to take these to the tailor to achieve that look.
I had no desire to try on the Gold Foil Leaf Shell with it’s exposed bright yellow zip. I just can’t bring my self to consider any exposed zipper any more. As far as the print is concerned, overall I like it. The gold is a nice touch for Summer.
What do you think of the Gold Foil Leaf print?
Follow me on…
I got my pant in petite yesterday and to be honest, I had fully expected to send them back, because they were an impulse buy and I am kind of over fancy pants, but I love them! You are right – they are very tailored. You might love the cut of petite even more!
