Thanks for all the comments on my posts from earlier in the week. I have had family in town since last Friday and they are all, finally, gone. I love having everyone over but the kitchen needs to be scrubbed and I have loads and loads of laundry to do. I was glad to have had some posts ready to go so the blog was not neglected. During the week I received several orders from recent promos so you’ll be seeing those reviews over the next few days. The first one is from Madewell.
They had a 40% promo a few weeks ago and I found a couple of shirts to order that looked like they would be suited for my closet.
I ordered a Medium in the Curved Collar Top in Organza Stripe. The Organza stripe sleeves are what sold me on this top. It makes this plain white shirt interesting. It also comes in Green Stripe.
Since the Linen Collared Tee in Stripe looked like it ran big I ordered a Small. The fit was a little tight in the arms but fit loose across the chest and waist. The shoulder is a dropped-seam and, due to the snugness in the arms, could really be noticed.
I do like the shirt in general and I would recommending sizing down if you can snatch it up. This will transition well through the Spring and early Summer.
Both shirts are currently on sale and the 40% off sale promo works for them. I am still trying to assess sizing from Madewell and because we do not have a local store I’ll have to keep ordering online.
Have you tried either of these blouses? How was the fit for you?
I was looking at that organza stripe top online. So cute on you! Pity about the fit. There were tons of green ones on the sale rack, so it must be the top and not you at all. I like the stripe one, but not the drop sleeves. I'll be glad when they knock that off.
That and exposed zippers Gigi!
