This blazer is gorgeous in person, and definitely worth the price with the extra 40% off. The cut is very flattering, and the satin lapel is such a lovely added touch. I had initially ordered the size 0, and while it fit well through the body, it felt a tad snug through the shoulders and upper arms, so I reordered the size 2, and it is perfect. I am going to pair it with the Lace Reindeer Tee (another love), Swarovski® crystal necklace in gold (love), and a pair of jeans. I also plan to wear it with the Tartan Maxi Skirt (another love), and a white button down.<br /><br />I have also recently purchased both colors of the Tuxedo ruffle top in stretch silk georgette, as well as the polka-dot version...love all of these! I ordered my normal size 0 in the solid version, but sized up to a 2 in the dotted one due to the shoulders being tight on the size 0.<br /><br />The Men's Slim oxford cocktail shirt in plaid is another keeper. I purchased this one for myself in a size small for a 'boyfriend fit', and love it. The quality is excellent, plus the shirt is soft and cozy/comfy to wear...especially when lounging at home.<br /><br />Also love the Lady Coat with braided trim. I purchased this one is size 0, and it fits comfortably through the shoulders, as well as the rest of the body. As others have mentioned, the quality on this one is excellent, plus I happen to adore the longer length. I plan to pair this one with a charcoal grey Theory ribbed sweater, dark grey boyfriend jeans from Madewell, brown belt, and a pair of dark brown Cole Haan short boots. I'll also wear it with a white button down, jeans, and black booties.Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-37839958587866625772016-12-16T08:56:03.475-05:002016-12-16T08:56:03.475-05:00@mygoddy I snagged a 12 this morning and with 40% ...@mygoddy I snagged a 12 this morning and with 40% off!

I ordered a 10, which is a size down, based on the reviews and what popped back on the website. I can see how people sized down if they are straighter on the bottom because the waist area was still a little loose on me but I am absolutely going to need my regular size to accommodate my hips and rear end. The skirt is absolutely gorgeous though - the way the sequins are sewn on the skirt to overlap makes for a visually beautiful skirt. I will be trying to snag this in my size!Anne - The Fab Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235117913749019487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-26061748810152841282016-12-14T21:14:27.010-05:002016-12-14T21:14:27.010-05:00@wellfedfred the super 120s wool Campbell blazer c...@wellfedfred the super 120s wool Campbell blazer comes in heather cabernet - which is the same as the Paley pants I believe?

I just remembered that one was out of stock so I didn't get the other coordinating piece but I love the color. Ok, enough droning on.

If I loved them I'd keep them, but at still over $100 not for me. (I wear flats all the time and heels when I want to dress up. So the midi heel is great for comfort but when I want to dress up I feel like I'm ok in a 3-4 inch heel. I'd wear these in lieu of flats, most likely.)

I took a chance on this one as the reviews were great and at under $200 the price was great. It's gorgeous! The leather is luxe and the navy color will be so versatile and isn't quite as "rocker" as black. I love it. Looks like it cost 3x the price.

Sleeves are tight and wool is almost sheer. I was thinking I could wear it over a plaid shirt for holidays but it won't work. <br /><br />Got the Avery colorblock suede pumps. They show signs of minor wear, scuffed soles and heel (back of heel) which could simply be from try ons. They run large as the 8.5 feels a little loose. Someone else mentioned that thecolor of the color block is basically their skin tone and it creates a weird visual effect. I have this issue as well. I do love the height of the heel, and the pointy toe. Super cute with jeans and with the mini skirts I tried, I think for when I would wear these I'd be better off with the plain patent ones (now sold out). So if anyone wants an 8.5 they'll be going back to j.Crew Short Hills tomorrow or Thursday.

I have the Paley pants and like them as an alternative to full length trousers with the slim ankle length leg.My only gripe is that they don't have belt loops. I need to size up in them to accommodate my hips and therefore the waist is a little big but it's usually manageable. I should probably get them altered to fit my waist better. I hope they work out for you when they finally arrive! Anne - The Fab Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235117913749019487noreply@blogger.com
