OOTD and Fall Cardigans and Jackets

Happy Saturday everyone! I was so glad to not have to go into work until this evening, because I had the whole day to practice and get ready for my big audition on Friday! I think my arias are ready, but I'm still not sure which outfit I'm going to wear! :)

Anyway, last night, was our weekly Super Smash Bros Tourney and I thought I would fully represent my character, Pikachu in full-out yellowness.  PIKA!!!!

Anthro: Loose Lines Cardi (now $60), Banana Republic Tank (super old), Anthro: Checkerboard Belt (now $20), Anthro: Circle the Globe Skirt (now $40)

Sadly, this getup only got me second place. Maybe I should have done black and yellow, not brown and yellow. Probably only then, will the Pika Power been at its peak.

Anyhoo, on to the cardis!

Summer's Reminder Cardigan  (teal) $128 Sleeping on Snow

This poor cardigan is getting panned online. It's been on my wishlist since it appeared on the website and it's absolutely gorgeous. There are a few issues with it though. It's a made from boiled wool, so it's light but quite warm. Boiled wool is not the same as felt...so the fabric to this is a little floppy, which means the top of the cardi will not stay flat against your chest because there is no snap closure there. So the little flower kind of flops down a bit. If this bugs you, then this cardi is not for you. I thought the fit was nice. This is an xs and I think it's pretty cute. That being said: $128 is a little much for this piece. Try it on, wait for the sale.

Sea Fan Sweater $148 Guinevere

This is a cute sweater that fits TTS. The tie closure is actually a feature I'm really liking because, no matter what size you are, you can tie it to form a nice silhouette. It's soft and not itchy at all, although I don't find many things itchy, which is weird because I do have sensitive skin. At $148, I think the price point for this one is a little high since it's really not anything special, so wait for the sale again on this one.

Tulip Curtsy Blazer $118 Daughters of the Liberation

. 

I'm so in love with this jacket, it's not even funny. The product shot on the website did not do anything for me at all, but when I spied it on the hanger in the store, it called my name. I actually don't own a blazer anymore, so this one might have to come home with me. It's a gorgeous velvety cord and this is the gold color which is so awesome! It fit TTS and was really flattering. The sleeves are a great length for cuffing and showing the beautiful striped interior lining it has. At $118 it seems like a fair price point, this is worth it to me. It would be great over a dress or with some jeans.

Herringbone Sweater Jacket $118 Sleeping on Snow

Wow, this sweater is a little small. I don't know if it's supposed to fit this close and be this short, but I don't really get it. It's a nice fabric and something you can't tell from the product and model shots is that the pieces of fabric on the collar are only attached to the sweater at each end so it can be adjusted, which is kind of cool. I didn't figure it out though until I had taken it off. I dunno, I don't really find it flattering. Size up if you do. The price kind of seems fair, as it's a very thick sweater jacket.

I hope you ladies are having a super-relaxing and awesome Saturday!
