~ Graphic Floral Sweatshirt, Medium ~
When I first saw this sweatshirt online I thought it looked like iron-on felt flowers. Needless to say, not a fan. But, My VPS put it in my dressing room and when I saw it IRL I changed my mind. I really like the black flowers against the gray background. I saw the Sequin version as well and it looks like with the copper against navy background. I took my normal size Medium and it fit well, especially with the layer of the Boy Shirt in Mini Gingham underneath. Sadly, it’s not available for the 25% promo.
The flowers still look like iron-on felt but I liked the placement of them and they seem to be stuck on pretty well. It does have a dropped-shoulder seam which I’m impartial to on this sweatshirt.
~ Boy Shirt in Mini Gingham, Eggplant, size 8 ~
I LOVED this color! The Eggplant is a nice dark purple and I plan to wear this quite a bit in Fall and Winter. The size 8 is my normal fit in button-down shirts. I think an 8 Petite would be a little too snug in the shoulders for me though would fix the extra material in the arms. I liked the mini gingham so much that I ordered it in Bright Avocado as well. This is showing in the current promo of SHOPFALL.
Full-length shots for you. I actually like the outfit on the left with the sweatshirt and layered gingham underneath. I have the perfect J Crew shoes to go with the outfit so I’ll have to pull out another gray sweatshirt I have to replicate the look.
Have a Great Afternoon!
That sweatshirt is adorable on you.But I have to say, I just cannot justify spending "Jacrew" beaucoup bucks on an embellished sweatshirt. I guess I'm just a Tippi girl. I LOVE the shirt. Have you tried the new front zip pixie pants? They are perfect for the office. I ended up at "Jacrew" (our family name for J. Crew) Factory and picked up the new gigi pants and a plaid popover (sized up to Large). Have a look-see on my blog post. http://atypical60.com/2015/09/24/my-wide-load-again-and-other-musings/
Best,

The layered look with the sweatshirt and gingham shirt looks really good.
