Happy Friday everyone!!! I hope you all have exciting weekend plans! I have some reviews for you! I spotted some beautiful new fall items at a local Anthro today after work. Such gorgeous stuff and I spotted the coveted
Foxy Tights, but refrained from buying them. They are super cute, but I have NO idea what I would wear them with. As a matter of fact, I left the store with NOTHING, which is a great thing. I am saving up for the hall rental fee for a couple of recitals I am programming next spring and summer!
Snowy Egret Shift $168 Floreat
I had a feeling going in that this dress would not work for me. The pattern is SO STUNNING and the colors are beautiful. It is a nice quality lining. This dress was a PAIN in the you-know-what to put on. I almost gave up and didn't try it on. It took me a couple of minutes to struggle my way into this frock. The whole thing is unfortunate and I can't believe the reviews online and how good they are. This was a fit disaster.
Puckering in the back.
Super-duper weirdly tight in the chest. The area in front pancakes your boobs down. I am a small-chested gal and I was uncomfortable. This dress just was a huge letdown as I would never be able to wear this. Mega pass.
Just for the record, they didn't have my usual size 0 in, so this is a 2. The fabric of this dress is not what you'd expect from the product photo. It's soft and a little sheer, but it's nice. I liked this dress! I liked the funky asymmetrical neckline and it's a lovely navy plaid. It's not a heavy fabric, so I don't think it will keep you warm or anything. Wait for the sale on this one as I don't think it's worth full-price.
Crocheted Clouds Dress $188 Moth
This dress is lovely. The fabric was delicate and the lining is a nice touch and the color is a soft, buttery yellow. It was super comfortable...it didn't fit me. If you are an xsp gal...you will not fit this dress, but if this dress fits you, you will love it. At $188, I would say wait for the sale on this one.
I'll be back tomorrow with some cardigan reviews! Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks for the reviews, Kay! My favorite is the Perthshire Dress, the plaid and the funky cut are really great on you! Can't wait for more, as always! Have a good one! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Perthshire Dress too! I actually have it on my wishlist so I really appreciate your review.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Great reviews Kay! I have been so anxious to see pictures of someone in the Perthshire Dress -- it's super flattering on you :) I keep hearing all these negative reviews about it but my love for it persists. If only one of my local stores would finally stock it! I have been lurking about for weeks, hoping to see it or the D'armee dress, but none of my 3 seem to have gotten either of them in.
ReplyDeleteYou also make the Crocheted Clouds look super stunning! I never even considered it before, but now I feel compelled to seek it out.
Kay,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the dress reviews. I am drawn to the Perthshire Dress. Must be my Scottish ancestry. I'm normally not attracted to plaid (so un-scottish of me) but this dress calls. It's been in my Wish List since day one, but I am holding out for sale.
Yeah for you for not buying anything in the store. Not even the little fox tights. I would think might go well with the Perthshire Dress.
Such a shame about the first dress since the pattern is so lovely! I also tried on the perthshire dress and I agree it's not worth full price. Also on me the length and colors made me look a bit dowdy, but I think it looks better on you than it did on me
ReplyDeleteYes, too bad about the fit of the first one. It's a beautiful looking dress.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies! The Perthshire dress is totally my fave right now too. I wish there had been a 0 for me to try on, but I think it will be a fine fit!
ReplyDeleteLaura, the Foxy Tights are SUPER DUPER ADORB. I don't know how much longer I can hold out for reals.
Liz, I know. The first dress, the print is outstanding, I wish it was a skirt...I need a good tailor ;-)
Wow!! The Perthshire dress looks awesome on you. The best it's looked on any other blogger I've seen honestly.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny! I want it even more now LOL!
