First the Stripe boatneck sweater. I didn't like this one at all. The fabric is quite scratchy and it isn't slouchy at all. It was also quite sheer. This is a XS:
Next, the Urbanite shift dress, formerly known as the Linea shift dress (I wonder why they changed the name of this one?) I tried the retro orange color in a 00. Didn't like it, it was shapeless on me (in the pic I am trying to show that it stays quite away from the body):
Next, another orange offering, the Cropped silk jacket. I was curious about this one but I don't have anywhere to wear a jacket like this (especially in the orange colorway) and nothing to wear with it (you need a pretty high-waisted pair of pants, like in the website pics, or a dress, otherwise it is too cropped, like on me). It fits TTS (this is a 0):
The next one is the very underrated Cadabra cardigan. All the colors are $19.99 in store while the heather grey and provence pink are back to FP on the website, sneaky JCrew (this is crazy). Anyway, I tried it on only because I had read some positive reviews on the JCA and because of the price and guess what? I loved it (especially for $16 with Mickey card). This is the in-store only color navy in a XS:
It is very soft at the touch and versatile. This is the fatique, which is on promo on the website for $59.50:
I ended up buying the navy and the heather grey that I saw at the last minute in my size.
Some time ago I had tried the Ribbon cami but because it wasn't on the website yet and I didn't like it, I didn't post the pic. Here it is in a 0 in the buff color (with the lovely gingham scout chino that I am waiting to go on sale or at least promo). It is quite unflattering IMO:
In the same occasion I had also tried the Jenny dress. I loved this one, until I saw the price. I think that $78 is outrageous for a slub cotton dress, so I will buy only on super-sale. I needed to size down to a XXS in this one because the armholes were too big in the XS. This is the deep peri color:
And this is the ivory, that I liked even more on me:
Back to last Saturday, my absolute fave was the Marled lace-up hoodie. I had been eyeing this one since it came out and I will buy it as soon as it goes on sale (but it seems to be one of those things that never go on sale). I have the jaspe from last year so I can't justify buying it FP but it took all my willpower to leave it at the store with the 20% of the Mickey card. This is the XS (I am doing the catalog pose):
I wanted to try on the Pointelle shorts for fun but they were all sold-out in my size if you can believe it. I tried the Gingham sonoma shorts instead and even if very cute I didn't feel like spending $50 in a pair of shorts that will go indubitably on sale before it's time to wear them. I would have bought the size 2 to achieve a look like on the model, the 0 was a little bit too snug (sorry, no pics).
That's it for today, I hope that you enjoyed the post and you find it helpful. Have you tried or own any of these? Any questions, let me know.
Have a great Tuesday!
