Here’s an extra post for today, as I want to finish up my reviews by tomorrow, the end of F&F. (Note – You’ll need a code from an email sent by BR.)
~ Fringe Tank Tunic, Small ~
I have the J Crew retail version of this and it’s still sitting in my closet with tags. 🙁 But I do love this version by BR. The fringe is layered and looks more “feathery”. When I originally saw this tank on the hanger I thought it was a cool mini dress. It just barely covers my rear so it would be indecently mini mini on me. The Small was a great fit, so TTS for me.
~ Plaid Lace-Trim Tweed Top, size 8 ~
This was the other “early look” item I purchased a few weeks ago. I wanted something in the plaid print and chose this over the Anabel Plaid Wool Scarf and Plaid Tweed Mini Skirt. I like the pattern and this is lined so the wool isn’t itchy against your skin.
This had only just a bit of shape and was boxy looking from the side. The arms fit me well, they weren’t snug or tight but I still felt constricted in them due to how they were cut. I think I need either true short-sleeve or higher and not elbow-length, like this top.
The lace trim is as the bottom of the shirt. You couldn’t see it very well against my dark denim.
I’ve been wanting a Leopard pouch for a while and was excited to see not only this in-store but also the Haircalf Foldover Crossbody. That one has interior card slots and zippers and the strap can be removed. But it is also almost $100 more than the pouch. The front is haircalf/calfhair in a leopard print and the back is black embossed leather. There’s a single zip at the top and is actually quite big, about a letter-size sheet of paper. I was expecting something a little smaller.
I did end up buying the pouch as I didn’t see but one other in-store and I didn’t want to miss out on it and since it’s leather it’s excluded from any promos or F&F. You should see this divine Satchel too!
