Madewell Final Sale: Linen Palm Tee, Silk Shadeview Dip-Dye Cami, Indigo Linen Embroidery Tank, Kasbah Top, Lightstitch Blouse, Pleated Shirtstripe Skirt

I bit hard on the 40% off Final Sale last week at Madewell. I didn’t really look at anything until then so I didn’t have a wishlist prepared. Not very smart considering everything I bought was Final Sale. Let’s see if I liked them all.

~ Linen Palm Tee, Medium ~

I liked the blue sky in this tee along with the palms. I like that the Linen is not very sheer. The Medium is a nice fit but not too slouchy.

~ Silk Shadeview Dip-Dye Cami, size 6 ~

I like this little cami for layering under blazers this Fall. The size 6 is well-fitting and I’m glad I chose it as the size 8 would have been really big and not returnable. I’ll probably wear this with the Toothpick in Destructed Miller Wash and my Navy Puff-Sleeve Blazer with booties of some kind.

~ Indigo Linen Embroidery Tank, size Medium ~

I loved this tank immediately out of the package. The linen is a little thicker. The Medium is a nice fit but I’ll definitely send this to the cleaners. If this shrinks I don’t think it will fit. A Large would have made it look really boxy through the waist. I wore this over the weekend with my Pleated Crepe Shorts in Black. I’ll wear this through the Fall as well with a black or blue blazer.

~ Kasbah Top,Medium ~

This received a lot of love from everyone and I was finally able to grab it in a Medium. I think I could have sized to a Small in it though. I didn’t realize how sheer it was though. And it’s probably more noticeable on me because of my tan and skin-tone.

~ Lightstitch Blouse, Small ~

The hippie in me loves little peasant blouses. I like that this one was black with a little embroidery here and there. But this is very sheer. The first pic I took I used flash and that was crazy see-through. The non-flash is a little less but I think it will require a black cami underneath. The Small fits ok. I didn’t really do anything with it in these pics so it just looks like it’s hanging there. The Medium might have had a nicer flow throughout but I can work with the Small that I have.

~ Pleated Shirtstripe Skirt, size 6 ~

I debated between ordering this skirt and the Indigo Shibori Linen Skirt. This one won out. The size 6 is sitting at my waist so I’d say it runs TTS. I liked the pleating as well. I was hoping they wouldn’t bulge out too much. Gigi reviewed it too.

My favorite is the Indigo Linen Embroidery Tank. I could have sized up in the Lightstitch Blouse and passed on the Kasbah Top. I also bought the Seagauze Pleat Tank in both White and Black but they are very very sheer and I couldn’t find my camis to go under them. They fit TTS in the Medium that I bought but, again, will definitely need an under layer to wear.

I hope your Madewell Final Sale purchases worked out for you!

What color is the embroidery on the indigo linen top? Is it black, navy or can't tell and would go with either one? It looks very nice on you and I think I may order one.

  Doodle Daschund – It looks black to me, even in natural light. If it is Navy it's a very dark Navy or Navy Black. I've worn it with both Navy and Black bottoms so far. Since the embroidery is at the top I don't think it really matters. I really love it!

Hey fittwin. I came back to see your review of the navy/burgundy top. Passed. I think you saved me a final sale regret. I have the dress that's similar and it's sized opposite. I wish I had XS, instead of S. And it was final sale. Not a total flop, but I don't need to half good items.
