I was able to do a few try-ons last week after the Fall roll-out. My store had most of what I wanted to try on as well as new bags and shoes. Let’s take a look at how they fit.
~ Frayed Denim Pencil Skirt in White, size 30 ~
~ Tippi Sweater with Ruffles, Fuchsia Blossom, Medium ~
I like the idea of a white pencil skirt but wish this didn’t have the fraying at the hem. The size 30 was the closest to my normal size 29 but fit a bit loose in the hips. Since it has some stretch in it, I see this skirt really stretching out in the hips and booty area during wear. I’ll reconsider this skirt once it goes on sale because I will want to have the hem sown back up.
This was actually really cute IRL even though J.Crew basically slapped some ruffles on the Tippi. I do like that the ruffles are small and not overwhelming the sweater. Sizing is the same as a normal Tippi. This ruffle sweater is also offered in Navy and Ivory.
~ Sleeveless Tunic Sweater, Ivory, Small ~
I was looking forward to seeing this sweater IRL. I was hoping the length would be long enough to wear with Pixie Pants and it is, in both the front and back. The material is a cotton blend and not too heavy in weight. It’s a bit comfortable and soft on as well. I sized down one to a Small in this tunic. It is also offered in Navy and Dark Poppy.
~ Cocktail Shirt, size 8 ~
I thought this shirt was oddly cute when I saw it online. Right now, I’m having to size up to a 10 in the button-down shirts. That’s just me enjoying my Summer and no reflection of the shirts actually getting smaller. Stick with your normal size in this. IRL this is still a little odd looking but it grows on you. The back is also “pieced”. At least the sleeves match. You can also get one for your mini-me.
I’ve wish-listed all the tops in this post and will wait until a sale price to re-consider them.
Have you tried any of these tops?
I too really liked that white skirt but wanted a finished hem!
