My first batch of boxes arrived today. Hah...many more are coming! But here are some reviews of the first order. I feel like this is late! I guess mine took longer than some others!
Definite Keeps!
Pic 1...HEWI!!! I've been looking for a leopard scarf for 3 years now but all the ones I saw leaned brown-yellow and I wanted black-grey. This one is perfection. I was afraid to get my hopes up because it is wool, but it is tissue thin and soft as silk, no itch in sight.
Pic 2...exactly fits my main goal...lightweight knitwear. This is the perfect weight for my winters and my favorite color too! I like it so much that white is on its way.
On the fence, got some questions:
Pic 3...I could use a black pencil skirt. I have one but it is fairly short. This one seems good but I'm not sure if it is great. It is more straight than pencil, but true pencils never fit me that well...like whatever snugs a behind is also going to snug an apple belly. This one is fairly loose...comfortable sitting on my hips. but if I pull it up to waist level I can twist it around without unzipping. I'm sure they are "supposed" to fit tighter, but I don't like tight, so I don't know what to think. How is the length...falling where it should?
Pic 4...I got interested in a waterfall cardigan by contagion...seeing everyone else posting them! This is my favorite shade of green, actually my eye color, but I'm not sure how useful it will be. Cozy and comfy, but I don't know how well it will play with whatever I could put under it. Black would be easy, and I do have the black Leith Angie pick on the way (even though she said the other colors were better than black, sorry Angie, I didn't like them!).
Probably not, got some more questions:
Pic 5...Too big and just not me. Cozy and comfy and it was fun putting it on, but I'm just not feeling it. What do you think?
Pic 6...I love this dress on two other Fab women and think it looks so flattering and slimming on them. So why does it look so un-slimming on me?! I feel very busty-bombshell in it and that is not a look I'm happy with. Is it worth sizing up or is it just not my dress?
No:
Pic 7...these are Carter's VC pants. Why are they so lumpy-baggy in the legs? The next size down does that a little less but feels yucky snug everywhere else. So still striking out on skinnies, but the EF ones are on the way.
Sending back the Halogen Cashmere sweater, didn't really take a pic. I have confessed to not needing more cashmere, so it would have to be total love to keep it, and it wasn't. Too oversized, too deep in the V, just not that special to me.
And I'm not even going to show you the KK dress. Massive fail. Very bombshell-clingy-VPL-badness!
Now, how's that for major shopping? And really, two more big waves on the way. I did say earlier I was going wild!
