****UPDATE**** The Iridescent Sequin Tank in this review is now on sale for $49.99 plus 30% off. The Iridescent Sequin Shift Dress, that I’ll review tomorrow, is also on sale at $99.99!!! I fit well in the size 6.

A few quick notes before we get to today’s review. J Crew has a tiny roll-out of new arrivals today. I am liking the Belted Oxford Dress. Also, Gilt City has a 30% off J Crew Factory coupon available. If you are not a member of Gilt, you can sign up for Free here. I don’t see an exclusion on the Quilted Vest in the fine print and I haven’t tried it but that is subject to change.

Now on to the outfit review!
Current Tee size: S/M
Current Pant size: 8

 
~ Iridescent Sequin Tank, Misty Forest, size 6 ~

The size 6 fit really well. It wasn’t pulling or tight across the chest. The size 8 would have given me a looser fit, if that is what I was looking for. I think with the sequins I would prefer a closer fit to the body. The sequins were not itchy or bothersome against the body of the skin. I like the Misty Forest color. Olive is one of my favorites for Fall. 

I was a little bothered by the sequins under the arm. They rubbed a little so I’m sure that would get annoying quickly.

They seem to be sown on pretty well, stitched together and not separate. This is a nice Tank and made it to my wishlist. I think it may be nice to use during the Holidays and a different color green for Christmas.

~ Washed Lamé Pull-on Pant, Metallic Champagne, size 6 ~
I thought I might be able to get away with wearing a size 6 in these pants but only my Assets Shorts are saving me from splitting the seam in them. Assets are by Spanx and I got mine at Target. The waist did fit well and the drawstring is useful in these. The size 8 would fit more comfortably through the hip and thigh. 
 

Though these state they are a 26-inch inseam online, they hit just below the top of the Collection Collette Heel, so full-length on me (5’2″).

Though I’m sure you could wear the Washed Lamé Pull-on Pant casually with a tee and nice flip-flops, I feel they are too shiny to be dressed down. The Shirtdress on the other hand, is something I feel I could wear dressed down and casual. They look great with flats and I will also try them with some espadrilles.

So tell me, have you tried on any of the Lamé items yet? Do you think either the pant or shirtdress can be “dressed-down”?
