Fall Shopping - Everlane and Uniqlo reviews

Hello my lovely YLF family. I finally had time to do some Fall/Winter shopping which is a season I adore. Fall has inspired me to get out of my Summer funk (both in style and mood) and get some much needed shopping therapy. After a major purge of old clothing and duplicate clothing, I realized I had to get rid of the old and bring in the new.
This year I'm planning on focusing on quality rather than quantity with an emphasis on minimal style, with some print and color thrown in for good measure.

1 - 3.

UNIQLO

WOMEN CASHMERE MOCK NECK SWEATER (INES DE LA FRESSANGE) - my favorite sweater purchase so far. I knew I had to have it when I saw it online and once I tried it on, it was soft as butter and looked so fab on.

4 - 5. UNIQLO WOMEN RAYON PRINTED LONG-SLEEVE BLOUSE - This top fit me like a glove. Yes, it is rayon and supposedly wrinkle resistant and very soft and comfy. Length is long enough to tuck i. They also have a white with black polka dots.

6 - 7. UNIQLO

WOMEN U CREW NECK SHORT-SLEEVE T-SHIRT - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! These shirts are a bit thicker and fit wonderfully on. I've love uniqlo tees because they never wear out or get those little holes in front. These will be great for the Fall and Winter season under sweaters or cardigans.

8 - 9. EVERLANE

The Glove Boot ReKnit - Oh my. What can I say about these boots? With a 2" heel and a comfy stretch material that wraps around your ankle with no gap, this was one I had to get. And to top it off, it's made from renewed plastic bottles (I love ethically made clothing). I've been shopping at Everlane more and more and am impressed with the quality of their clothing.

10 - 11. EVERLANE silk shirred top with BR light jacket. My first silk blouse which I love. I feel like it might be a little bid due to its boxy nature so I'll have to think about an exchange. I'm not sure yet. (Silk is great but I have a love/hate relationship since I tend to ruin those tops. I just have to be more careful)

12 - 14. EVERLANE High Rise Skinny Jeans in ankle length in dark blue finish - These jeans are to die for. They have a slight stretch and per @Angie, they high rise is pretty flattering on my tummy area. In #13. i'm pointing to where my belly button is and there is NO GAP. I've worn these 3 time so far and they have not stretched out.
Let me know what you all think.

GREAT looking jeans! Good fit on you, and a perfect wash too. Love your IdelaF sweater too - I always envy those who can wear a turtle or mock neck = so chic.

These are all fantastic! I have that same Uniqlo U tee - aren't they great? I'm glad they keep making them. And the IDLF sweater is perfect.

I do think it's worth trying a smaller size in the silk shirt.

MsMaven

Great choices--love the cashmere sweater. I bought a Uniqlo rayon shirt a couple of years ago and it's great. Easy to wash and care for and looks good.

I prefer to have my silk tops with a bit of a looser fit, but it is up to you. It's worth it to try another size so that you know you made the right choice.

ChristelJ

You did so well! I am especially impressed by the fit of the jeans, the sleek and ethically made boots and by the black and white polka dot shirt, but then I'm a huge fan of polka dots.

You look amazing in #7. I've been considering the Reknit Boots myself.

@lisa p - I love a good mockneck even on my short neck.
@Greyscale - the tees are so good that I can dress them up or down.
@MsMaven - Unfortunately that one sweater is not cashmere but a mix of wook, etc.
@ChristelJ - I'm more of a stripe person but polka dots will do too.
@notsaf - they are literally the most comfortable boots. The only thing is that i may not be able to wear it on rainy or windy days. I'll have to see.

Thank you for the Uniqlo reviews. I have had very good luck with that company in 2019. I'd like to continue the streak. Your reviews help.

Helena

Your style is SO good. Thanks for the reviews; we've just gotten Uniqlo in my town and I love it - always a good find in there, and the quality seems good, especially for the price.

Janet

Ooh, so great to see all of these on you. That first sweater was made for you! I wish I could wear a mock neck better but they don’t suit me. I need to check out Uniqlo tees too. I almost bought hubs some tees there but they are too short for him. And totally fab boots and jeans too! Woohoo, you did great!

Angie

Fashion Stylist

Your short hair looks sooo good, Naz!

YAY. I'm thrilled you found a stash of winners! I'll make your faves top picks.

#1/2 is a KILLER pullover.

Can you please provide the Finds when you have a moment?

Suz

Oooh. That sweater in 1/2 is fantastic!! WOW. I adore it. Definite KEEP!

The other items look equally great. Love the shorter hair again, too!

I actually like the silk shirt -- beautiful drape. But if you can compare to a smaller size you might feel more committed.

nemosmom

Thanks for the reviews on the uniqlo pieces! You look great in the Everlane jeans, silk shirt, and BR jacket - that's a great outfit!

Completely unrelated, I adore your happy wall colors!

kkards

I love them all! I, too, have found very good clothes at both Uniqlo and Everlane.
Uniqlo is rated as “making a good start” for sustainability.
May I ask if you sized up in the Everlane boots?
I have the Day Glove flat, which seem to run small.

Jaime

Love outfit #11 and overall all great picks! You look fab.

Sterling - I always find review helpful for me. If there's any more shopping on my end, I will definitely post.

torontogirl - I don't mind shopping extra for good quality, but of course who doesn't mind paying less too?

Janet - Thanks. As for mens tees, not the same quality for some reason. Go figure.

Angie - I'm trying to figure out who to post Finds.

Suz- I can see that sweater on you too. i'm afraid if I size down, the shoulders might be too tight. I'll have to think on this.

nemosmom - I have a love hate relationship with my bathroom colors. Hubby had suprised me by painting the bathroom after we came back from the Caribbean years ago. It definitely needs an update but it is happy color.

kkards - comfy, cute, modern. What more can you want in boots?

Catherine - I did not size up. I wear a true 6.5 in boots with slightly wide feet. The material is stretchy enough so no need to size up.

Shevia - thank you as always.

The Uniqlo sweater looks lovely on you! I love all the Uniqlo pieces. I am interested in how the crew neck T-shirt holds up after wash. Does it shrink?

I like the silk shirt. You could try a size smaller and see if it fits better. It looks fine currently except for the sleeve length, but that is easily fixable by rolling it up.

Kate

Thanks for the reviews, citygirldc. I love that cashmere Uniqlo sweater on you, and the jeans are a great fit. Love the short hair too. You're looking fab!

I'm a big fan of Uniqlo, and have been super impressed with the Uniqlo U line over the past two years. Love love love those U crewneck tees. I am way too embarrassed to tell you how many of them I have. The cotton is sturdy and has a beautiful hand. I have to size up in the U tee, but I've found it does not shrink, unlike some other Uniqlo cottons, and the colors are fast. I can also give a big shout out to the the Uniqlo U coats. They are truly beautiful. I have two from last year, and bought a (non-U) cocoon coat this year in a lilac blue, and a hooded teal coatigan. This year's U curved wide leg pants and jeans are also excellent.

I was really pleased with Uniqlo's rayon shirts too. I bought three of the sleeveless versions last year, and they laundered beautifully—no ironing needed!—and wore like iron.

Although I haven't bought from Everlane recently, I have had some great pieces from them, especially dresses, over the years.

Kate, thank you for the insight on U-shirt not shrinking. I am a huge fan of Uniqlo too. I bought their Rayon sleeve shirts this year and they are holding up so well!

@Becky - I've washed the Uniqlo tees a few times now, and no shrinkage. So far so good.
