've been taking a bit of time off from the Crewlade but I am finding some of their new items irresistible. I grabbed this new shirt during the 25% off promo and probably won't keep it but definitely love it!
Perfect Shirt in Blackwatch Plaid (size 2)
There is something about a really dark plaid that seems so sophisticated. I'm pretty much a fan of anything plaid but I love that this shirt could probably be worn with a beautiful black ball gown and still look fabulous. The fit is spot on - maybe even a tiny bit snugger than some of my others shirts in this size. The plaid is QUITE dark. I think the photo is pretty accurate. I was a bit surprised when this shirt arrived tied in an intricate origami ball but I guess that is to showcase the "lightweight suckered cotton for a touch of textural interest". The material is very light for a winter shirt.
Polka Dot Popover (size 2)
I put a lot of pictures of this one up because I know a lot of people are interested in this top. I'm not loving it. It's totally fine but I wish it were a nice navy color and the material is that silk/cotton blend that tears really easily. The shortness didn't bother me because a) I probably wouldn't wear it tucked in and b) I have a really short torso.
Cowlneck Poncho (XXS) sold out
This is one of those items that I became bizarrely obsessed with after I had initially poo-pooed it. My PS tracked down the last XXS in the country (according to her) which was quite miraculous. It's so super cozy and the material is very "rich" looking. The only complaint I have is that it is weirdly tight across my hips - something I never noticed when I originally tried it on. Now I'm debating trying to locate an XS or just make it work. Or take it to the tailor to see if they can open the sides a bit.
Any thoughts?
