There are lots of pretty work-appropriate dresses for Fall from Tory Burch. I was able to try on a few on Friday.

~ Maxine Dress, Size 6 ~

This dress is the same print as the Velda Tunic I reviewed, which I loved. Though it looks like the size 6 is a perfect fit I was unable to zip this past the waist. A size 8 would be the better size in this dress, and almost all Tory dresses I’ve tried. I love the pleating at the neckline to give the dress a little detail for an otherwise shift dress. It’s dresses like this one that make me wish I worked in an office daily, especially when it’s so comfortable in a silk crepe de chine.

  

~ Zandi Dress, Small, Petrol Gray ~

I reviewed the Zandi Dress before in Dot {here}. I love this floral printed one better. The Small was definitely the better fit from the previous Medium I tried. This dress is definitely on my wishlist, waiting for a promo or sale price.

~ Tatum Dress, Size 6, Black~

Another beautiful dress that makes me pine for office days. The crepe fabric is lovely and there is ruffle detail on either side of the v-neckline. I know the size 8 would be the best fit as the zipper, again, didn’t make it all the way up. The store usually has a small size like a 0 or 2 and then a size 6 put out in each item. All the other sizes are in the back. I could have asked for the right size but I knew I wouldn’t be buying it and didn’t want to waste anyone’s time to get the right size.

~ Libby Dress, Small, Tory Navy Pinstripe (also Dotted Pony Print) ~

I had an idea this dress would be in the running to come home with me when I saw it. It’s in a beautiful silk jersey, just like my London Blouse. There is seaming in front near the sides to help establish more of a shape. The V-Neck is not too low. With the jersey material I knew it would have a little give and so the size Small was the best fit. I see this easily transitioning into Fall with a Blazer and Winter with a sweater belted over it, using it as a skirt.

  

~ Walker Cargo, size 30, Dotted Pony ~
I sized to a 30 in these but because of my curves I would still need to go one size larger. These were fitted across the hips and general area. I would also need to hem these. They have a cargo pocket on either side starting just below mid-thigh. Overall, I really liked them and wished they were in my favorite Alexa jean style. I would have brought these home. I may try the size 31 to be sure but these will work much better on someone with a slimmer hip and leg. 
  
I had a coupon and decided on the Libby Dress. I think I will wear it enough at home as well as date night and the office, when I do stop by. 
I hope you enjoyed these reviews and maybe one or two items made it to your wishlist!
Have a Great Day!

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!
