I haven't had much time to stop by my beloved Madewell as of late but I did place an order recently. They have been having a surprising number of good promos so I've learned to jump on the things I'm interested in before they sell out. Their shirts have been awkward on me this year - too short and too boxy - but I wanted to give the ex-boyfriend shirt a try anyway. Always love their relaxed dresses - so easy to wear and go with everything from legs and ankle boots to leggings and flats.
Flannel Ex-Boyfriend Shirt in Aurora Plaid (XS)
Nothing is really wrong with this shirt, I just think it's really boring. Even the shade of blue is a bit yawn. Basically TTS. Pretty long as you can see - it covers my rear at 5'4". The thing I really didn't like was the tab at the neckline - you can see if in the close up picture. I knew it would bother me. Overall a little masculine for my test - if I'm going to do flannel I have to "girl it up" a bit.
Long Sleeve Tunic Dress (XS)
I started stalking this after realizing that my beloved tunic dress from years ago got totally shrunk by the darn dry cleaners. Rayon and dry cleaning is a terrible mix I'm finding. I like the little black color hiding underneath the neckline and the truly simple silhouette. I like the drape on the XS and would almost consider sizing up to a small for even more slouchiness.
Long-Sleeve Tunic Dress (XXS)
The XXS fit dine as well. A little shorted and a bit too tight across the bustline but basically fit otherwise. I think you can size up or down in this dress and it won't really matter. Wish the green were a little more vibrant but overall pleased with this dress.
This sweater runs quite small. Arms are a bit tight and I have pretty small arms. You should definitely size up 1 or possilby 2 sizes. The chevron pattern is lovely and it's very comfortable. You can see at the side view how far it comes up - it's definitely cropped without being overly so. I would like it over a nice buttondown. The cropped look is a bit hard to pull off when you are busty but if I was going to do it I think this would be a nice choice.
What have you found at Madewell lately?
I love Madewell dresses- such nice simplicity and quality! The Canadian dollar is so weak right now I can't even look at Madewell- but I did score the scarf print silk skirt for $20 a few weeks ago and the Lois bow flats for $50! That will have to do me for awhile...
