Colors are so tricky. Is not-quite-brick a Thing this year? The long cardigan is called Pomegranate, but it's not the color of any I've eaten. The color does nothing for me. The weight is great, and the size is what I expected. I tend to be between a PXS and PS, but since I am narrow of shoulder always get PXS in this type of cardigan since I don't have to worry about it pulling at the bust.
The scarf is the same warm red as the cardigan, so not as it appears on my laptop at least. On cooler day I will play with the sister gray scarf to see if it is too bulky for me to wear and if it pills.
The gray cardigan is NOT a Petite, but it fits similar to the way the red one in PXS does. Reviews said to size down, and some said to size down twice. I ordered XS and XXS, and the XXS which is supposedly a 00-0 fit me. And I probably could have sized down even more! Some reviews complained of pilling, so I will have to test that out. It is a tiny bit scratchy, but I will probably wear it over sleeved items so that shouldn't be a problem.
The utility jacket is a reminder that I shouldn't buy items with *dusty* in the color descriptor. The color is pretty much as pictured. It runs fairly true to size and is a bit short-waisted. The quality is about par for the course for Caslon, meaning nothing to write home about.
As mentioned previously, I am between an XS and S, but have also gained weight during the pandemic. Angie thought that I would be my smaller size in Zella, and I am. The S tops were too broad in the shoulders which is common for me in that size, and I am too hot to see if they are actually a better fit in the bustline which is where XS is often too small for me. In addition to the medium gray, I also ordered the charcoal gray top which is very nearly black. The jogger bottoms were not overly long on 5' 1" me, but I also fill them out in the legs. The really cool Zella jacket and bottoms sold out before I could order them.
The silver gray Nike Air Zoom Pegasus run on the wide size, but I should have ordered a half size up to accommodate my bulky Thorlo socks. The description said they run true to size but I generally need to go larger with Nike. I should have listened to my gut. I also ordered Nike Air Maxes but they are too narrow per typical Nike. So many of the sneakers I wanted sold out. . .
