Milly Camila Pelican Printed Top – Every critter collector needs a Pelican right?

Well, I definitely thought I needed some Pelicans in my closet. Luckily, this Splurge turned to a Purchase during a Neiman Marcus 1-Day Spree Sale. I was able to snag this gorgeous silk Pelican blouse for 30% off. This is a 100% Silk Crepe-de-Chine blouse with a loose, relaxed fit. This was my first Milly purchase and was unsure about sizing. But since the description stated “relaxed” I went with the size 6. I am very happy as the 8 would have been over-sized on me. 
This has a high-low hem line and I could have used about an inch more in length to be more comfortable with tucking this in. The sides are notched so raising my arms pulled the shirt out exposing skin through the notches. Not too much of a big deal. I have plans to wear this blouse with my Pleated shorts in White and Black and will probably lightly tuck in the front and leave the back loose and un-tucked. You’ll see that soon. 
I had a quick little trip to the office so I wore my new shrunken (thanks Kathy!!!) Cafe’ Trousers, Louboutin Puglia’s and an old JC yellow belt.
How about these Pelicans? Are they for you?

Go on and Splurge…I did!

As promised, here are the rest of my reviews, just in case you are needing a push over the edge to make a purchase before the promo ends.

Cafe’ Trouser in Cotton, Petite 8 – I am so happy I listened to WFF. The fit of these pants is amazing. The Petite 8 is the perfect fit, though I will need to have them hemmed. These are apparently a 30 inch inseam but I think they are probably a little longer. I’m wearing my highest platform heels with these pants and still they come exactly right to the ground.

Yep, das my booty…(I despise booty shots.)
These are a definite LOVE! Though they are now back-ordered until July, I ended up ordering the Black and Navy today. I should have ordered another pair in Desert to have them shortened to wear with flats.
Silk-Wool Punk Floral Skirt, 8 – Loved this skirt when I received it yesterday and even when I originally tried it on and look in the mirror. Now that I see it on, in pictures, I will sadly have to return it. It’s way too poofy though the length is perfect. I probably could have sized to a 6 in this and worn it at my natural waist. The 8 sits just above my hips. The silk-to-wool ratio is more wool than silk as compared to the Deco Shirred Skirt I have which is more silk than wool. The more wool makes the skirt a little thicker but not overly heavy.
Swoop Dress in Tropical Guava, 6 – I really am digging the Swoop Dress, though I’m on the fence about this color. I do think it’s great for Summer. The fit is perfect. This also comes in Petite and Tall, if you are questioning the length at all. I ended up ordering the Turquoise Reef to see if I like that color more than this one.
Lastly is the Cece Suede Ballet Flat, 7, in Bright Pomegranate. Hands down the Cece Ballet Flats are my favorites; even over the TB Revas! Yes, I said it. These are a bright orange but I love them! Looks like I’ve just added another colorway to my growing Collection.
Now I need to decide what I am really going to keep and what needs to be returned. Like I said earlier this morning, I am a huge fan of this roll-out and prefer the late Spring and Summer offerings for most all retailers.
Have a Great Evening!
