Ran in the other day to try on a few sale items I had been wondering about but in general my local sale section was a bit depleted and boring.
Ruffled Rhinestone Top (size 2)
The jewels on this one are nice. I liked them quite a bit. This style of top is a hard sell for me. I think it looks quite classy and elegant but there is little to no shaping at the waistline which thickens me a bit. The collar lay open quite nicely which is nice since I would never wear it buttoned up all the way. My usual size 2 was a nice fit although I wouldn't have minded a bit more length.
Ruffled Rhinestone Top (size 0)
I tried the size 0 just in case but there was lots of gapping so no sizing down on this one for me.
I am a sucker for anything sweatshirt-esque so I couldn't resist picking this up. I have no idea what it is but it is extremely comfortable and basically cute. I believe it was $39.99 before discount? As far as sweatshirts go, it's pretty shapely and has a nice wide neckline. Love the little split hem or whatever it is called on the sides. Sadly I passed since I probably don't need a sweatshirt but I still liked it. Wish they did it in shortsleeves so I can layer it over my way too extensive button down shirt collection :)
Swiss-Dot Tuxedo Shirt (size 0)
This is one size smaller than my usualy size and I would have preferred my regular size. The swiss-dot material is really cute and I like the tuxedo styling. I couldn't quite get the collar to lay open in a flattering way but I imagine a good iron would change that. The swiss-dot part is fairly see through but I don't think it requires a cami. The lighter color probably would.
Side view. Totally fine but nothing to get all excited about. With some snazzy trousers might be quite cute.
Nothing overwhelmingly exciting for me but I did nab a few cute crewcuts things for my daughter and a Perfect Shirt in Papaya Paisley (yay non final sale) since I was never able to see this in-store.
Overall a little non-plussed but my bargain hunter self can't help but look!
What did you score in this most recent promo?
Thanks for the reviews! I haven't snatched up the rhinestone top but I love the collar and rhinestone detailing. I think you look fantastic in the blue.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. I'm on the fence about it but I really love the rhinestones. My inner magpie can't resist!
DeleteWas hoping for a bit more out of the Swiss dot tuxedo top. Thanks for the reviews.
ReplyDeleteI know, it's quite disappointing. How do they make it look so cute online?
