Ironically the PointSur shoreditch selvedge jeans which are on clearance popped back in the 26 so I ordered them today. They are more distressed and I liked them since I saw them but wasn't sure how the fit would be. I just confirmed the measurements between the two styles are almost identical so hopefully they will fit the same. The wash of the Orran is just a little plain and dark. (Not as pictured.)

Happily keeping one thing!<br /><br />Classic popover shirt in vintage plaid, seafoam multi - runs TTS for popovers, I think. I can fit the 00 but decided to keep the 0 for more shoulder room and freedom to put it in the dryer. I haven't tried a popover in ages but I took 00 in the Liberty popovers from a few years ago, and I'm a consistent 0/2P in perfect & boy shirts. I'm flat-chested but there's room for a regular-size bust at least. Drape and fabric is great, perfect for a summer plaid.<br /><br />Sloan gingham flats - unfortunately running 1/2 size big compared to previous Sloans. I already needed a size 5, so I'm sized out.<br /><br />Mixed plaid flats - the ankle strap hits right on top of my ankle bone, painfully. They're otherwise cute but impossible to wear. Good thing I have the popover in the same print.Keilexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829409796775187413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-60939615338671258022016-04-28T03:26:33.088-04:002016-04-28T03:26:33.088-04:00I got my gingham sloans today too and I agree they...I got my gingham sloans today too and I agree they're running a half-size big.

When I saw these during NYFW, these sandals went on my wishlist. They are lovely. Had to order up a half size to 10.5. My right foot measures between 40 and 40.5, so the cut of the shoe affects sizing for me. They were comfortable out of the box. The stacked heel makes them easy to walk in. Can't wait to wear these for spring and summer. The sandals can be dressed up or down. My first outfit choice is likely to be an interpretation of what Jenna wore in the Gingham Challenge: denim jacket, stripe midweight boatneck stripe tee in navy and green stripe, and laser circle cut midi skirt in navy. Will also wear with linen as well for a cool and comfortable look.Mygoddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240250626088757693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-6747173318353392782016-04-27T16:51:56.465-04:002016-04-27T16:51:56.465-04:00Agree, I can't see those two pieces together....Agree, I can't see those two pieces together.

Sized up to a small because I was concerned about the length. I really like the knit and the weight. It's actually a bit big but very cool and comfortable. If you like a chunky, but not heavy sweater for the summer I think it's a good buy. Very happy that it's all cotton. <br /><br />Also got the point Sur shoreditch straight jeans in Orran wash. I ordered my usual 25, 26 and 27 to compare. I'm looking for a slouchy but not baggy jean that doesn't look sloppy. In my regular size 25 they are too loose to be worn high but too fitted to be slouchy. The 27 is too big. I like the look of the 26 as a slouchy jean but I'd welcome opinions. Please see pics on my IG @wearthislikethis.

I took my usual size and they're a tad loose but a size down would be too tight I think. The yellow is lovely it is def bright but is a nice pop of colour. The quality seems good although the bottom only has a real sole around the border and not across the whole bottom. Last year my espadrilles like that absorbed any moisture from the ground quickly which I didn't like. (I never wore them in rain just any moisture or dirt absorbs into the jute sole). They were packaged really nicely. I'm very happy with them! janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257918991247030517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-85173929898689757352016-04-27T09:36:07.539-04:002016-04-27T09:36:07.539-04:00I have to say that design-wise, I loved everything...I have to say that design-wise, I loved everything I ordered and would have kept them all had they fit.

That's too bad it didn't work out for you.<br /><br />I asked CS for measurements, and hopefully the petite size works. My main concern is always the bust area. I always have to size up, even though i'm only 4'11, so proportions are off on some clothes, especially in a one-piece.JSRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019374356359095038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-22745890489352359052016-04-26T21:26:01.870-04:002016-04-26T21:26:01.870-04:00the denim dress was a bust. :/

So weird because I wore the black ones I got on major sale for the first time today in my normal size and they fit perfectly. Too cute to not try another size. Shoe sizing has been hit or miss for me this spring.

I thought the design of this jacket could be promising (fresh colors, classic with a twist), but it sounds like it's a bit of a miss in terms of fabric and cut.

I am 4'11, 36B, broad-shouldered & medium framed; I usually take a 0 Regular in Boy Shirts, not sure what my Petite size would be for this style, possibly a 2P (I would have preferred the Petite to cut down on some length/extra fabric). <br /><br />My store only had the Eggplant left in Size 2, but b/c the fabric is so light, I knew it wouldn't bunch up too stiffly or anything if I tucked the shirt in so I'm happy with this size. (Tho I WOULD have preferred the smaller size, only b/c I also don't like to button the top 2 buttons and when I do that with the size 2, it is too revealing.) Apart from that, the color is really pretty, the sleeves aren't tight and I didn't find that it wrinkled obscenely, contrary to reviews and especially its casual, easy vibe. <br /><br />I think Poetodesign (i hope I got her IG name right!) also wore it recently under a maroonish sweater and it looked very cute! Wish I'd seen Ina's IG sooner b/c I would've ordered the Petite when it was still in stock. HTH TM93https://www.blogger.com/profile/18166897306461544844noreply@blogger.com
