It's very pretty, definitely recommend it (for anyone who's on the fence about it) if you can nab it on sale (last I saw, it was still 50% off with current EXTRA50 promo). I tend to wear xs but for tops order 2-4 depending on whether it runs tts or small. Went with a 2 in this case, and the fit is good (slightly loose but in a good way), not too tight across the shoulders. The royal blue color is gorgeous and would suit most skin tones I would think. :)Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335446188304151473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-59884207110549352002018-01-31T22:28:39.164-05:002018-01-31T22:28:39.164-05:00Ooh glad it worked out!

A few m...Cross posted in Wednesday's thread...<br /><br />A few more items dropped off tonight, <br /><br />Black mockneck tank, this is the ribbed one. I really like the fit but I'm pretty sure it's brown, not black, I got two sizes and they're the same color and compared to all the black I was wearing, they're brown. I will have to see in daylight, but if it's brown it really won't work for me, even at under $12. <br /><br />Merino turtleneck with side slits. Pretty much fits as I expected. Wide and slouchy. I like that it's lightweight. It also stunk like perfume upon opening, I'm hoping it will air out. It's final sale but if it doesn't I will ask to exchange. <br /><br />Everyday cashmere cardigan in black. I'm no cashmere expert but the weight seems nice enough. Fit doesn't work. XS is so tight across my chest that the buttons gape (or it's defective, I am not busty!) and the small is too loose. Great price but it's going back.<br /><br />Finally, the subtle boatneck sweater in merino, size small. The XS fit odd but the small works better. I like the neckline (once I get it to sit right) especially because it works well with a chunky necklace. It's a little boxy but I can tuck it in to high waisted pants. It will work with a button down under it too, and it's a nice weight. <br /><br />So that's all she wrote. I will have to make some returns but I'm going to do my best to have a #noshopfebruary.Suz Hashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226837404763250767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-81454436694753592032018-01-31T19:13:51.477-05:002018-01-31T19:13:51.477-05:00My everyday cashmere cardigans in camel and black ...My everyday cashmere cardigans in camel and black and my calf hair signet bag arrived today. I am so glad I bought the Signet - it is beautiful. It was also packed beautifully and in a dust bag. I adjusted it to be as long as it can and it hits at my hip - I'd prefer a tad longer for a crossbody but it's not a dealbreaker (I'm 5'8"). <br /><br />I went with M for the cardigans - I'm usually a small in Tippi sweaters lately and a 4/6 on top but the medium is good so I can button them. They're definitely not as luxe as the cashmere cardigans of years past but they are more significant weight than the featherweight. They are soft but not super plush. For $38 each, I'm good with the quality. <br /><br />All of my suiting shipped today so glad for that and that will finish the month for me. Let no shop February begin. I just have to survive my visit to the store Saturday to do my pile of returns.

The rise was just a little off and after trying them on a few times, decided even for $15 and change I didn't love them. I also returned the Subtle boatneck sweater. I'll see if the small works (ordered both sizes at the same time since they weren't final) but I'm not hopeful. <br /><br />I decided I needed to give a few items a look at my store. I've been eyeing the lace pants even though I felt they aren't so "me" but they had the red in my size and I was trying other things on, so why not. I was seriously shocked at how flattering they actually are. I wasn't sure if I could deal with the red but remembered a shirt I love but haventworn enough, andknew they'd match. Happy I got them<br /><br />Next I tried the wide leg camo pants again. I had given them a quick look awhile back and didn't even bring them home from my ship to store order. They only had a 00 in store and previously I tried the 0. They're a little tight but overall it's a more streamlined look because they fit well at the waist. I tried them a few ways and my favorite by far is with the camo sweater and a striped button down underneath, and pearls, of course, for a feminine touch. As Ina said, I'm fighting the fashion war, 😂 I think it's a great "hookup." <br /><br />Finally I saw a pair of jeans I was eyeing online the Ogden wash, butthe style numbers don't match, so I'm not 💯 sure. Anyway, they're a lighter wash but not the lightest. They only had a size up from my usual toothpick size but they fit nicely. If I go to buy another pair of jeans someone please slap me. <br /><br />and with that, iwill commence shopfreefebruary and Shop my closet.<br /><br />pics @wearthislikethis on Instagram Suz Hashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226837404763250767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-31166397910498398532018-01-31T10:31:32.310-05:002018-01-31T10:31:32.310-05:00And I hate having to put more on my card, and THEN...And I hate having to put more on my card, and THEN get the PA and wait for the refund.

It fit perfectly. I am usually a 4T but the sleeve length looked bracelet and worked great. If the 0 was slightly snug on you, I would think a 2 is the largest you can size up. I hope this information is helpful and that you are able to find what you are looking for :)Cheritheberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07592784204138753817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89688357338346380542018-01-30T23:36:51.979-05:002018-01-30T23:36:51.979-05:00Wendy, I found the velvet Averys to take a LONG ti...Wendy, I found the velvet Averys to take a LONG time to break in.
