~ Mixed Media Sweater, Medium, Navy ~

This size ran a little big so I would get a Small, even if I was layering. The sweater part is Merino Wool while the back is cotton. Yes you could get a similar effect layering a striped oxford under a sweater but this is more fun. Especially when you can then layer another pattern or color underneath it. I’m a fan.

  
~ Silk Sleeveless Blouse in Heart Dot, Size 6 ~
I love the print and colors on this blouse. The are a few colors you can mix this with including Mustard and Peach. Again, I sized down from my normal size 8.
~ Flared Surf Skirt, Size 8, Navy ~ 
This was a good fit though I’m not a fan of the neoprene material. It is a little better suited for Fall/Winter than blazing hot Summer. Pass for me but I know is doable for some of you. 

~ Vote For Love Tee, Small ~ 

Another graphic drop-seam tee. I do like that if you roll the cuffs there is a contrasting lining.

  
The Silk Sleeveless Blouse in Heart Dot came home with me and I’ve wishlisted both colors of the Mixed Media Sweater. Have you tried this blouse yet?

Funnel Sweatshirt in Stripe, Small – I loved this sweatshirt jacket. It was so cozy and fit well. Now, to just get rid of all my hoodies for this little jacket. I do like the gray over the navy but maybe because I’m thinking I could layer the Navy Excursion Vest over it.
Toothpick Cone Denim Jeans in Parker Wash, Size 29 – I liked the wash and feel of these Toothpick Jeans but I need to size to a 30. I passed as I found another pair I loved more.

  

The Downtown Field Jacket, Medium, Black – I loved this color. I have the Factory Navy version but would definitely get the black too.
Suede D’Orsay Flats, Size 6 1/2, Black – This was the better size compared to the gray version. I’ll have a closer look at them on Shoes-day.

Sateen Toothpick Pant, Size 29, Dark Fatigue – The sateen on these feels more suede-like than sateen, and very comfortable. Again, I’d size to a 30 as I do all my retail Toothpick jeans. My store seemed to have sold through all the size 30s in various colors.

Mixed Media Sweater, Medium, Vintage Cabernet
Lookout High Rise Jean in Kirk Wash, Size 30 – I have been hoping for high-rise skinnies I loved for a while and am hugely satisfied with these. I will need to have these hemmed but that’s the only minus. The waistband sits just under my belly button. LOVE!

  

That wraps up all my fitting room outfits from the new Fall arrivals. What were your favorites?
Whoops! I have one more set on Sunday!

Sequin Dot Tee, Medium – Drop-shoulder…over it. The fit was ok. Just not a fan overall.
Turner Pant in Hidden Floral, Size 6 – Can’t Touch This…Modern Hammer Pants. These fit ok too but I could have probably sized to a 4 or even a Petite 6. There’s elastic at the ankle as well as the waistband. Pants for those kinds of days.

  
Tunic Sweater, Medium, Heather Coal – I felt ready for bed or at least a long weekend curled up on the couch in this outfit. Both items were very cozy and comfortable but maybe a bit too relaxing. I could have sized down in the Tunic Sweater, especially if I wasn’t going to layer underneath. 
Toile Sweatpant, Medium – Size down in these as the Medium was big on me. The pants were comfortable, of course, as they are sweatpants. The sweatshirt might be a better option for me but overall a pass. 
OK…these weren’t styled by my VPS but the items were put in my dressing room. Overall, not a fan of any of these but those sale goggles can change a strong “No” to “Yes Please”.

I’m just going to get to the rest of these as quick as I can.

Tippi Sweater, Large, Heather Mineral – I am a Medium in Tippis. I think that would be better especially when layering with the Endless Shirt in Stripe.
Pleated Lattice Skirt, Size 8, Navy {review}
Collection Dulci Calf Hair Kitten Heel in Leopard, Size 7 – These run half a size big and I would need a 6 1/2. I added these to my wishlist as soon as I saw them online. The shorter heel is perfect for everyday wear, especially if you are on your feet a lot.

Endless Shirt in Stripe, size 6, Burgandy – The fit was good in the size 6. I would go up to an 8. I wasn’t sure what to do with the cuffs on the sleeves. They are very long and I’m guessing should probably be cuff. I like that the interior button placket has a grosgrain accent the same color as the shirt.

Cascade Blouse in Blue Floral, Size ? – I forgot to take a pic of the size but looking at this picture I’d say this is a size 8 as it looks big. It was very comfortable on and the cascading sides give me just enough arm coverage. I’ve added this to my wishlist.

Turner Pant, Size 6, Safari – Drapey and big. I’d grab a 4 or Petite 6 for the best fit. Nice olive color though. I have the Drapey Drawstring Pants in black that I bought at a ridiculous price so I’m good on that style.

My VPS was lovely enough to pull together some outfits with the new arrivals and she did not disappoint. After looking at everything online it was nice to see a lot more basics than over-the-top beading, ruffles, embellishment. But I was a little bothered by the longer lengths on the shirts. Then my VPS said it reminded her of Clueless fashion! And now I totally see it, and quite love it too.

~ Merino V-Neck Cardigan, Medium, Vintage Cabernet ~

The fit is TTS with 10 colors to choose from. I have a Jackie in this color so there is no need for an additional cardi in the same color.

~ Suede D’Orsay Flats, Size 7, Highland Gray ~

These run a half size big. I tried on the 6 1/2 in the black and they were a much better fit. I would definitely get the gray if a promo comes along.

~ Silk Sleeveless Blouse, Size 8, Vintage Cabernet ~

This size was too big. Below, the black colorway is in a size 6 and the fit is much better. I love the color and that this is 100% silk and not Poly, which could have easily been done. I bought this color in the size 6. I think I will be able to use it a lot with various bottoms I already have. I think the Navy and Ivory would be two other great colors to get. Those colors can be mixed with so much.

 
   

I threw this denim jacket on over the Silk Sleeveless Blouse and loved the look. The jacket is currently on promo for $110 plus an additional 40% off. I ordered it this morning.  

~ Pleated Lattice Skirt, Size 8, Distressed Quartz ~

I unexpectedly loved this pink tone. The skirt surprised me too. The size 8 was the best fit and my more consistent bottom size. The size 6 pulled the latticed part just a little along the hip line. The length, at 18 inches, is perfect for me, but unfortunately not offered in Tall sizes.
