I love having a Tory Burch Boutique at my mall since I hate returning items online. It’s so nice to try things on to gauge fit and really see what the material or pattern is like up close. Friday afternoon allowed me a few hours of “me-time” so I set out to Tory to check out the new items.

~ Peg Shell, size 8 ~

I unexpectedly loved this little blouse. The hooks in back at the neck were a little tricky to connect without looking but I was finally able to manage. The neck is a small cowl-neck and is 100% silk. It felt wonderful on. The orange and grey will transfer nicely from Fall to Winter.

It also comes in a black print.

~ Rolanda Sweater, Medium, Lichee (Pink) ~ 

This is a silk cashmere blend and despite it being really warm in the dressing room this felt comfortable on. This also comes in Black, which is probably the color I’d get. The fit is true-to-size and the pink is not very sheer at all.

~ Kelly Top, size 10 {review} ~

My exchange for the size 8 was messed up and I never did receive the size 10. Luckily my store did get this top in and I had it held in the size 10. This size is not as form-fitting as the size 8 was and fit looser in the chest and waist. There are darts at the bust the were a little lower than I would have like and so I’m not too sure the size 10 was the better fit. I’ve added this to my wishlist in both sizes so I hope to grab this on sale.

~ Velda Tunic, size 6 ~

This is a lovely tunic. I usually stay away from the Tory Tunics since the neckline is cut really low. Though this one is cut low, it lays nicely and isn’t over-exposing. The body and arms of the tunic is silk while the contrasting collar, neckline and cuff are cotton poplin. The cut is very flattering as well.

~ Rylie Tunic, Small, Light Grey ~
This is a Tunic Sweater with side-zipper detail. I actually liked it a lot and the Small was a nice fit. This looked really heavy and thick on the hanger but is a very lightweight merino, even more so than the J Crew Merino Pocket Tunics from last Winter. 

The zippers on either side expose additional material and not skin, like some other trendy zipper sweaters do. I liked that feature on this sweater as it means you don’t have to layer. It also comes in Black and Navy.

So that’s a little Tory for today. I have some dresses/bottoms scheduled for tomorrow.

Ebates Coupons and Cash Back

Though it’s early, I have slowly been trying to prepare for Fall and figuring out what I would like to add to my closet. Tory Burch, the new girl in my closet, has been very successful and popular this year so I’ve decided to add to that section.

I have been eyeing the Basil Skirt for a while now and I finally ordered it with the latest staggered promo. It’s currently on sale with all sizes available. I have visions of wearing this with my Cashmere Tees. Both the Henrietta and Denise Skirts have the same A-Line shape, though not the pleated front. The size 8 is a good fit and the length is just right on me. The length states 18 1/2 inches online so taller ladies may not like that. The Henrietta Skirt has a 22 1/2 inch length, which would hit just below the knee on me. There are so many beautiful colors to pull from in this skirt.

It was so hard to choose which item in the Floral Print I wanted but I settled on the Kelly Top and I am not disappointed. The background is gray and the peplum is very subtle. I ordered a size 8 and it just fits in the wool/silk blend. I would feel much more comfortable in a size 10 so I’ve sent this back for an exchange. It has a very long zipper in the back so there’s no struggling to take it off/on. 

The most wonderful detail of both the skirt and top is the lining. They are both lined in Silk! DaniBP!!! The skirt has a 100% silk lining while the top is a blend with Spandex in it. When I saw that lovely detail I knew I had some special pieces in my hands.
The Zandi Dress was not on my original wish list but it was available to try on when I was shopping a few weeks ago. I tried on a Medium and though the fit was good it seemed a little big, especially since I slipped it over my head without unzipping the side-zip. I would try a Small just to make sure it would still fit without being too tight. Of course, nothing a little Spanxing would fix. It’s also available in a Floral Print, which I love more than the dots. The jersey material is very comfortable, which is always a plus. Then length was below my knee so I’m hoping the Small will hit at or just below the knee. 
  
Lastly, I found my new White Jean. I LOVE my Cropped Skinny Jean in Rinse and was able to find the same pair in white. I bought a size 30 as I know they will shrink just a little. They are not as see through as some others I’ve tried and I know they’ll hold up to washing and wearing like my other pair. 
  

Have a Great Day!
