UPS just delivered my order from Express!

I have been so excited to receive this shipment. I ordered 2 faux leather jackets. One is the red moto jacket ClearlyClaire said I should definitely try. The other is a pretty butterscotch one. I also bought three scarves which are also among the photos ( a green one, a blue print one and a black gingham one) and 3 shirts. One is a leopard print that I hate and is going back. The other two seem to fit well but my eye is not adjusted to the puff sleeve which I realize is probably ok for my sloped shoulders. Here goes! Hope you like most of it!

Both jackets are fab! i have poison eye for a puffy sleeve, but you look good in this shirt.

I absolutely love the red moto jacket on you Meredith. The fit is excellent and the colour is lovely for you. I like the butterscotch one with the blue and green scarves, but not with the black and white gingham scarf - it needs more colour near your face.

The two short sleeved blouses fit you well.

I especially like the motos and the blue scarf, the shorts sleeves look good on you as well. Not too poufy at all.

@ MorethanBeige! I appreciate your liking both scarves and the jacket!

@AlaskaGirl,
I am a little leary of puff sleeves but the rest of the fit is good and I can always wear a topper. Maybe they will "depuff" slightly after washing?
@Shannon,
Thanks so much for pointing out that the black gingham doesn't have a enough color to go with the buttterscotch jacket. I just try everything I have most of the time and then try to see which look the best. I agree. Thanks for the thumbs up on the shirts.

Ack! I'm honored that you took my recommendation seriously Meredith!

Did you change your mind about the asymmetrical one? what do YOU think about the red? Is it too bright? I think I like it better than the butterscotch (?) one on you. I like the first two scarves a LOT. I'd love to see the green one with navy/white and blue denim! The last scarf looks good too, but I can't see the pattern and colors as well.

The blouses definitely look like they fit well and flatter your body type, but don't feel like you have to love the puffed sleeve just because it's *good medicine* for your shoulders. Are your summers cool enough that you'd often have another layer on?
Great haul by the way!

@Sarah A,
Thanks for thumbs up on those blouses. I am feeling better about them now. I am so happy with those jackets! The butterscotch one is practical and the red one just really makes me feel fabulous!

Good haul and that red jacket is making me hyperventilate! SO FAB!

@Claire,
I love BOTH jackets. The red is just such a super color I feel wonderful in it. The butterscotch one is nice and I will keep it as it will do keep daily company with my trusty gray faux leather. I think our weather will be cool enough at work that I can wear a layer on top till I see if some of the puff will deflate just a tad. I think I just need to get used to it. I do like both tops underneath tops already. I have to thank you for recommending I try the red because I wasn't originally thinking of something that colorful. Here is hopefully a better look at the last scarf. The blue one.

@Alicat,
I am hyperventilating over the red jacket too!!! Soooo happy with it. I need DH to take me out tonight!

That's great that you love them both! You must have ordered the perfect size right off the bat. Isn't the fit flattering? The blue scarf is striking, too. Can't wait to see what you wear it with!

@Claire,
I ordered the medium which fits great! I have the blue scarf on right now with a black vneck tshirt, black skinnies, new denim jacket and taupe shooties. It definitely livens up all the black!

Thanks Sarah A!

Both jackets are gorgeous, but if I were to pick one I'd go with red because the color is wonderful on you.

I love puffy sleeves so I like the shirts too. I am tempted to go try them on at Express!

Such fantastic jackets, Meredith. The rest of your haul is wonderful too. Great loot;-)

My favorite is the red jacket, it looks amazing on you!

Thanks Diana and Inge!
I am practically doing a little dance right now. Out of 8 pieces I ordered (3 scarves, 3 tops, two jackets) I am only returning one item. It is a blouson leopard print that I like in theory but didn't work at all on me. I'm determined to find one that will though. I may have to ask Angie is she can make some recommendations.

Thanks Jem! I feel terrific in it!

The outfit you have on right now sounds gorgeous. I'm starting to think that everything you try on fits you right off of the rack! Well, almost everything. Too bad about Mr. Leopard. I'd be doing a little dance now too, if I were you. Geez, we give you a week off of school and you just go crazy!

Those are really great jackets. The length, cut and color are perfect on you.

You must keep both jackets! I love them both on you and my goodness how fab is the red on you Scarves are fab and I don't see any issue with the shirts. I have a couple myself and I find them very useful. Sleeves are not too puffy at all. Infact they create a lovely streamlined look.

jen

I want a RED JACKET!!!!

Well I like the whole lot
(The last close up of the blue scarf... your lipstick color looks so fab!)

@Claire,
I wanted to love Mr. Leopard but it was not meant to be!
Yep! I am a "girl gone wild"!
@Citygirldc,
Thanks so much for giving your approval. I love them too!
@Deborah,
I agree I MUST keep both! I'm glad the sleeves don't look puffy to you.
@Jen,
Go get one! You will feel fabulous in it!

Totally love #6. That red just brings so much life and color to your face. I think it is a gorgeous color on you. I really like the butterscotch too but the red is just fabulous. It fits you beautifully too.

Wow, that red jacket is so fab on you! I hope Mr Meredith took you out because you deserve it for such savvy shopping! The scarves are beautiful, too, but then you're already one of our resident Queens of the Scarf! Butterscotch jacket is great, too. And I already weighed in on the tops. I hear you about the sleeves, too. I think eventually you will find a cut of woven top that works for your shoulders but also feels more "you." For now, these will work just fine.
