I pre-ordered this thinking my B&M wouldn’t have it. I really wanted to see it in person. Yesterday I was able to visit the store to see the new arrivals. They didn’t have the Blakely dress in the Zebra print but in the black and the fit was fantastic! I can’t wait to get mine in the Zebra print.
Anyway, right when I walked in was the skirt. I grabbed it to try on, even though it has a thick elastic band. I like the print on it. That’s it.
Tie-Dyed Wednesday Skirt – $78
That elastic band does not look good on me. Even though I tried pulling it down to sit lower on my hips it just didn’t look right. I’m sure it will look great on someone out there and I’d love to see it. I ended up calling and cancelling my pre-order. I’d love to see this in a scarf.
Oh, and I call dibs on this jacket and scarf from White House Black Market. Stay away people…let me get it first! ;o)
Sassy Slub Jacket – $158
Floral Cheetah Print Wrap – $58
Have a great day!
I really liked that skirt on the web site but haven't seen it IRL yet. I agree with you, I don't dig the elastic way and it looks more muted in your pics and not as bright as I hoped it would be. Oh well, so much for the new arrivals …
i like the print of the skirt but i agree that the skirt just sits there. thanks for the review! 🙂 love your blog!
Love the jacket, can't wait to see how it looks when you try it on.
Oooh, love your WHBM picks!
Have I ever told you – I just love your blog title!!
I'm after the zebra Blakely dress, too! Do we know if it'll be in B&Ms eventually, or online only?
Now I'm super excited to try on one of the solid colors, just to get an idea of size/fit.. hopefully my store has them!
I was planning on ordering the skirt. Thanks for the helpful review!
I love the WHBM jacket! very cute
Thanks everyone!
Lauren – My PS said they are scheduled to get the dress in the Zebra Print. I was told when I pre-ordered it that it would be available after March 2. So it may show up on the website too.
Ooooh, I'm dying to get my hands on the Blakely dress in the Zebra print too!!!
audreybella, i agree completely about the skirt. I do like the color but the fit on me was…tragic. It made me square shaped and totally emphasized the back area. Definite pass for me.
