Shipping has been on the leisurely side but my last order finally arrived today. I've been trying things on as they come. Not everything is pictured. (Will edit quickly on the phone to add in pictures.)

Green BP sweater (1): This was way too oversized for me the first time. I ordered down and am keeping the XXS. It's very cropped but meets the waistband of my skirt perfectly. I have other skirts that this will go with, too. And it's still super soft and comfortable.

Navy T&B sweater tank (2): I will wear this as a sweater vest (probably not with the T&B blouse). I sized down, again to get a better waist fit. I really love it; it's very soft and stretchy and I'm looking forward to adding it to blouse and skirt outfits in the fall.

(Apparently my top half is small petite and my bottom half is tall curvy. Fun combination, LOL!)

Pink Brixton straw hat: This is the second hat I ordered and both arrived squished in the box! One side of the brim was bent up. But I think this is a keeper. It's my first Brixton and is real straw, so I should be able to steam and iron back in place. The brim has a slight downward tilt all around, which looks better and gives more shade than a totally flat brim. Now I have a pink hat to add to my blue and green ones.

Dusty periwinkle Madewell sweater (3-5). I'm leaning return. The color is prettier than I thought. It has to be tucked in with skirts, which is underwhelming, but is okay with jeans. The wide waistband is good. The arms are snug and the knit feels a bit prickly, and the sizing feels off. The Small in is a titch short in the arms, and the tension pulls on the neck opening. In (5) I pulled the sleeves up and the shoulders/collar sits better.

Cream-colored Topshop moto jacket. Huge around the body in my usual size. It's indeed a very 80s look, slouchy and wide but cropped. The feel of the faux leather (Polyester!) is amazing. I didn't want to deal with trying another size (would have to go down to the smallest) so I just returned and didn't reorder.

BLANKNYC moto jacket (6-12).  I love the fit around the body and the front waist. The color pairs well with either jeans or my blue and green skirts - and even matches the velvet one. The biggest concern is tight arms. Not bicep - elbow and lower arm! Even with no shirt sleeves it's super snug when I bend my arm. The second concern is that the back length rides up due to my body shape.

I compared to my pale pink Candie's moto (see Find and picture 9). Identical in body width, front length, and arm length. The Candie's is slightly larger around the midarm (<1") and the back length is shorter; it seems to curve up in back. However, I remember being concerned about the arm width when I got it but either I don't notice it now, and/or it really has stretched. I'm leaning toward keeping the jacket and trusting it will also stretch and fit to shape, but I'm open to other opinions.
