I was able to grab a couple of wishlist items on sale plus promo using some generous birthday gift cards from my family.
The Collection Leather Mini Skirt was not on my radar until it went on sale and I ended up ordering both the Oyster Shell and Navy. It’s rare to see such colors in a Leather Skirt and I think that makes it less noticeable as leather. I envision wearing these with my Cashmere Tees and new Tory Burch Kelly Top.
The color is a gorgeous and really does look like an oyster shell. I ordered a size 8 in both, though most reviewers stated it ran big. I think the fit is TTS as 8 is my normal min-skirt size. The feel of the leather was the first thing I noticed right out of the package. It’s so buttery soft; not stiff at all. This fits a little more snug than the Navy but I think there’s too much lining in this one. I could feel it gathering as I walked around.
The Navy is much darker than this image. I couldn’t get the right color with or without flash. The slant pockets don’t add any bulk in front. You can see how much better this fits than the Oyster Shell skirt, both the same size. Unfortunately, I have to hunt a pop-back in another size 8 or a 10 since all sizes are now sold out. I’ll keep the size I have and hope I find a pop-back as the color, and price, were too rare.
The Linen Maxidress in Hammock Green popped back in a size 6. It wasn’t and still isn’t on sale but I had to grab it. The color is just as beautiful in person as it is online, maybe more so. I need a beautiful necklace like Dani’s to wear with it.
I love my Puff-Sleeve Blazer in Warm Poppy and have worn it about 5-6 times since purchasing it. I ordered both the Black and Navy in my normal blazer size of 10 Petite and the fit is perfect. During the Spring, I wore my Wool Schoolboy Blazers in Black and Navy a lot but during April and May wished I had a cotton version of both. Here it is in the Black and though I like it I think that maybe I should stick with the Navy. I’m still deciding though.
Another wishlist item was Schoolboy Blazer in Linen in Dark Evergreen. The fit in a 10 Petite is perfect though it’s not a 100% keeper. I love the color but am having a little trouble finding things to wear with it in my closet. It has to work with at least 3 different things to stay or it will just sit NWT.
I also grabbed the Drapey Drawsting Pant since it came to $20 in-store with the 50% off.
What little goodies did you find during the promos online/in-store?
