Today I'm wearing a Harlow cardigan with an charcoal/ivory stripe and a little fringe on the v-neck and pockets. I realized it beats that cashmere sweater hands down!

I definitely see your points about the weird fit - it was comfortable as long as I pulled the sleeve up a bit, but the tightness of the arms and the boxyness of the body made me look like I had thin arms and a wide torso. On the other hand - cashmere for less than $25?!?! On the OTHER OTHER hand, that neon red/orange/pink color is hard to match with anything in my closet. I am keeping for now but may end up returning this weekend. eeps.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10627356547323862881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-79097924101553835922018-04-11T21:57:32.552-04:002018-04-11T21:57:32.552-04:00I have all of the new striped ones and they are fi...I have all of the new striped ones and they are fine. Be sure to check out the vibrant flame stripe on Nordstrom.com. It seems the new solid colors are cut differently. Definitely more roomy in the body, which isn’t working for me.

Also the Twist-back long-sleeve T-shirt which I thought I didn't need until I put it on - flirty in the back, and it fits my hourglass shape well. The fabric has a good hand. I am a 34C and ordered a medium instead of small based on the reviews.

Very well made, nice drape, quality fabric. A real classic. I'm short, but petites are too high-waisted for me, and the regular size fit well. The reviews are right . . it does run small.

It is ENORMOUS. I ordered it because the store I visited had no size smalls in stock. However, the XS they had out was LARGER than the medium. These tees are my go-to tops all spring and summer. It's really sad that the sizing seems to be off now.

If I'm wearing cashmere, I want long sleeves. Sleeves are terrible, weird ribbing and way too short. Fit was short, wide and generally unflattering on me.

For one, it feels like a tangled mess, with heavier parts because of the wrap and knots. It didn't feel secure, either, being a true, not faux, wrap. The fabric felt cheap as well. Yes, the old dress wasn't 'thick', but it was quality and really lasted. I did keep the Chino ruffle jacket and am using it a lot since it's versatile, and the metal zipper pull on my field mechanic jacket came off, rendering it useless until I attach something else to it. I ordered a few crewcuts things as well. Most seem nice and are stylish. I'll return the kids version of the field mechanic jacket, since my son didn't care for it, it doesn't seem very useful (it's very thin) and mine is OOC for matching purposes anyway.farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276016792629249178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-7987212081956556112018-04-10T18:46:19.183-04:002018-04-10T18:46:19.183-04:00Also got the marled cotton sweater in the ivory/ch...Also got the marled cotton sweater in the ivory/charcoal colorway.

When I first put it on, I thought it was too constricting in the arms but within a minute or two it probably stretched. The thing is that the cuffs have about a 4” ribbing, which makes them feel tight on your forearms because that ribbing should really be down by the wrists. I have long arms and the sleeve on this ended at about my elbow with the ribbing stretching into the middle of my forearm. It’s hard to describe, and it didn’t look bad but it felt strange. If they were going to make the arms that short then maybe they should have left off the ribbing altogether. The “poppy” is more like a neon red and made the ivory stripes (which seemed more like a light camel to me) look almost like a very light pink.<br /><br />Cropped lightweight cardigan in stripe (H9342) - TTS, didn’t feel too cropped but I also have a short torso. Nice to see a true white/navy stripe instead of ivory/tan/beige/muslin and navy. No pockets. Not incredibly soft, had kind of a stiffer feeling knit. The button placket felt like a different material than the sweater, almost like it was a very wide grosgrain. It’s cute enough, but I didn’t love it even at $15. silver_lininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145331294538875917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-20209727680235467272018-04-10T15:43:44.739-04:002018-04-10T15:43:44.739-04:00Ordered 2 pairs of Evie heels that were newly in t...Ordered 2 pairs of Evie heels that were newly in the sale section this morning.

Too wide and short in both sizes I tried. <br /><br />High rise shorts in seersucker fit perfectly. My smaller size just fits but I know this fabric will give a little and the size up will end up being too loose. <br /><br />Got a pop back of the glitter Mary Jane flats with embellishments. Love the glitter color. They fit well in my smaller (Gemma) size. They’re really flat so I need to try with jeans and see how I feel. They almost feel too delicate. <br /><br />Also ordered extra wide leg camo pants in my size and two sizes up for my daughter. Not sure what her size will be but thought the bigger would work well on the hips. I tried them and they’re cute like that. For the price I might keep them and cut the bottoms.

I just called customer service and they advised that the fabric content is "viscose/crepe which is like a jersey material". They also advised that it is lined. I am going to give it a pass now that I know the fabric content. I hope that helps.Shimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489683048793978750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-43142130432429133852018-04-10T15:12:20.658-04:002018-04-10T15:12:20.658-04:00Call a vps.
