A couple of tops today, two new arrivals and one that has been catching my eye.

~ Shattered Print Top, size 6 ~

This was in a roll-out almost a month ago but I am just getting around to trying it on. I thought this would fit like the Sleeveless Drapey Top so I brought a size 6 to the dressing room. This is a Viscose/Rayon blend (I’ll end up shrinking it) and fit really tight across the chest. I would need a size 8 in this top and probably it’s solid sister, the Crepe Cap-Sleeve Top. Though the material different, the shape is the same. I think I would have preferred this in the Poly instead of Viscose. 
~ Mixed Media Sweater, Medium ~

I’m probably one of the only JCAs out there who does not like this sweater. My VPS LOVED it! Every time I see this sweater I hear that Mad TV sketch of “Men on…” saying “Hated It.”  Anyone remember? Am I aging myself? I just think it would have looked better with the front as all floral instead of this knitted part. 
Anyway, on to the review, because it seems to be very popular. My store had 4 or 5 left in stock. I had grabbed a Large but my VPS found a Medium for me. I would size down to a Small in this. The Medium was very slouchy on me. I think to combat the busy front, the sweater needs to be more fitted through the body. 
I would be afraid to snag the woven part of the front. 
~ Hugo Guinness for J Crew Epic Sweatshirt, Small ~
Another sweatshirt, yes…but this one was very slouchy and soft and comfortable. It shouldn’t seem any different from any other sweatshirt but I liked it. I even thought about sizing to an XS to see the fit but I liked the slouchy style of it so I’d stick with a Small, which is down from my normal Medium. 

Happy Friday!

~ 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!
