After trying to identify some elements that might make simple silhouettes more interesting, I came across this BR faux leather top in burgundy (online; ;have not seen IRL).
However, as is often the case it's sold out in many sizes. I managed to order one size, the largest I'd likely be able to wear, but not in 2 sizes and so if it runs large or boxy may be sized out. Of course, it might not look great, either!
I swear this was a fpretty new arrival, though I'm not on these sites every day. Maybe that's a sign it is/was a good item but no help if size not available.
This is not a HEWI per se, but, "interesting, more polished/not flimsy tops" was on my list, so I just thought it would be fun to see if it worked, to add some outfit interest while not being as stark as black, and something other than a wool knit.
Yet I find that items sell out so fast that it seems discouraging to try to have some focus. Can't check constantly. I think that leads to random things. I ordered this the instant I saw it, right size or not, and the next day was sold out in that size, too. I am not used to being that quick on the trigger for something I haven't seen, and yet waiting just a day has led to many escapes. Not sure I'm up for the drama!
Solutions do include keeping the brakes on getting some other item just as a substitute .
Has anyone seen this in store? I'll give an update if it works.
