I showed you my picks earlier and now here are some reviews. First up are dresses.

Stripe Linen-Cotton Sundress, size 8 – I was attracted to this dress the moment I saw it online and couldn’t wait to try it on. Sadly, like Gigi said in her review, there’s too much pleating, making the skirt really poofy. The size 8 was a perfect fit. Anything with a structured bodice I will need to size to an 8. For a shift, loose top I can size to a 6. I really do love this dress and am so sad it doesn’t work for me.

The second pic with my hand at the hip is how I would have loved it to fit. Just a little less poofy.

 

Stripe Pocket Dress, Small – I wasn’t really a fan of the faux leather pockets, not even when it was a Retail. The knit isn’t too thick and the Small was a good fit, except for the length. You know I love a good mini but I raised my arm and…scandalous! I also did not like the brown pockets on the pink dress. They just didn’t go.

 

Sleeveless Ruched Dress, size 6, Neon Violet – I grabbed this to try on because I was attracted to the color. I have no need for this dress as I just bought the Stripe Basket-Weave Dress that I have no need for, but loved from my try-on. This was snug in the bodice so I would size to an 8 for a better fit. It might give me a little more length, but not much. Seeing as this is more of a party/wedding/non-work dress the shorter length is good.

I know on Wednesday the entire store was 50% off. I do not know if that carried over to the weekend. Currently, you can take an extra 30% off online with BIGSALE.

Happy Shopping!

I just couldn’t pass up the Nike Pegasus ’83 Sneakers in Mortar when I saw them in-store. Normally I am grabbing them for The Boy but it was my turn this time to grab a pair. My foot has grown to a size 7 but I am still a 6 1/2 in Nike brand footwear.

These are very comfortable and I love the white-gray with the blue. There’s also a Mica Green Orange and I saw another style in-store in Red. I have seen these at other shoe stores like DSW, Nordstroms, Finish Line, etc. so check their stock as well.

Here are a few other choices.

Have a Great Day!

I would have thought that being organized with my outfits would have helped me during The Boy’s Graduation Week but it was so crazy that it was easier to throw on shorts and tees to get things done. I’m back on track this week though.

This week features Tory Burch, including my London Blouse, shoes, possibly my new White Jeans and a new Tunic. I’ll review those in another post. I am in the office a few days as well so I needed to include something that I was appropriate.

~ Linen Botanical Tank, J Crew (BR Factory, BR Factory, Carven, ~
~  Brandyce Tunic, Tory Burch ~
~ London Blouse, Tory Burch ~
~ J Crew Pleated Short, J Crew (JC, Factory)
~ Cropped Skinny Jean, Tory Burch ~
~ Perfect Form Crop Pant, White House/Black Market ~
~ Sadie Metallic Slingbacks, Tory Burch ~
~ Nori Wedges, Tory Burch ~
~ Amalie Sandals, Tory Burch ~
And here’s today’s look. I missed out on the Linen Botanical Tank originally and waited patiently for the Factory offered it to no avail (not yet at least). I ended up finding this one on ebay. Comfortable, simple and chic – my kind of outfit.
Have a Great Day!

I went on a little bit of a T-Shirt binge recently, especially at J Crew.

The Drapey Tee in Venice Beach runs big. You can see the Medium on me is very large and ill-fitting. I didn’t have time to try it on and it felt so soft in my hands I tore the tags off to wear it before seeing if it really fit. I’m hoping my Laundry skills will shrink this a little. Also, the wording is askewed IRL, as opposed to online. Definitely size down in this. At the time, I was able to get this with a 25% off Tees promo.

I originally tried on the Drapey Tee in Beach Heart a few weeks ago and loved it. I snagged this with the promo too. This isn’t as drapey as the Venice tee above, even in the Small.

The Vintage Cotton Stripe-Sleeve Tee in Scoopneck was in the sale section so I grabbed it in a Medium. Fits well on top but a little on the long side.

I have no sense sometimes and the Paneled Sweatshirt in Navy Floral is a good example of that. We are in the 90s now and I foresee 100s by July. Why I bought a Sweatshirt, even if it is short-sleeved is beyond me. I had too much Crewlade. But I do love it. It was styled with White Jeans (still searching) which I loved! I grabbed a Small to be more fitted, like the Anchor one from last Summer. I was able to wear that one during my trip to NYC. This one will be in the closet for months.

I love my Metallic V-Neck Sweater so much I had to get the Sparkle Cardigan too. But there wasn’t a Small so I grabbed the Medium. It’s just big all-over, including the sleeves. I’m hoping I can find a Small and do an exchange, even though it was Final Sale.

I couldn’t resist the Sicilia Scarf. Anything Italian and I want it. Though we didn’t make it to the front side of the boot I hope to head back one day. This thing is huge so I think it will be nice and cozy in the Fall and Winter.
