First, the Gimlet skirt in coaster stripe. I tried this one twice already, the first time even before that it became available on the website. I really like it but in real life it flares out a lot more than on the model and I feel like I have nowhere to go in this skirt. I tried a size 2 and felt a bit like a ballerina of a music box. I will probably get it if I find it on super-sale becase of the limited wear (for my lifestyle it is an occasion skirt):
Next I grabbed the Drawstring dress in peeble dots. The pattern is the same as the Blythe blouse in peeble dots but the fabric is 100% cotton and the color reads darker. This is most definitively a cover-up because of the fabric and the cut. I am trying a XS (it was pulling it a bit on my chest):
Another item from the cover-up section that I felt like trying on is the Sundowner tunic in engineered stripe. I tried a XXS because it looked huge. I can't suffer collars when I am on the beach and I don't need it for the city, so this one has no place in my closet. But it felt nice on (not $88 nice but nice). I would probably get a XS because in the XXS the sleeves were tight at the cuffs and it just fit everywhere else (the collar was tight too when buttoned):
The following is the Painter zip tee in stripe in the vintage cobalt color. OK, I would say that this one fits small. I am wearing a XS and it was very fitted. The annoying thing is that I couldn't zip up the zipper in the back by myself (I didn't try it to pass it over my head with the zipper up though):
I have probably mentionned that a denim jacket is on my spring list this year, so while I was there I tried the two denim jackets that they were offering. The first one is this uber-expensive ($280) from their "denim shop" (can't find online). The fit was great but it was very stiff and too dark for spring for my taste. This is the XS:
The other one is the Nolita jacket in Great Lakes wash. This is their classic Nolita (that I got to try for the first time) in their newest wash. It was very soft and had the perfect weathered look. I might get this one as soon as a promo comes around. The only thing that may disappoint some is that it is kind of lightweight, it almost feels like a shirt. This is the XS:
That's the cavalry skirt, BTW (size 0). I found it in a store last week, incredibly (and it wasn't a return because they had three of them). I still loved it and the price with the 40% off was too good to pass so it came home with me. This is the outfit that I wore on my shopping trip (it was pouring, so I wore it with my rainboots):
The last item that I wanted to show you is the Double-breasted Ivy jacket. They didn't have a size 2 to try on on the floor, so I tried a 0 just to get a feeling. I really thought that I would fall in love with this but the double breasted style is not for me, I think:
That's if for now. Have you tried or ordered any of these? Anything that you like?
