For $70 it was a steal! <br /><br />In terms of care of the perfect shirts, they can withstand a lot. I do just a standard, no frills wash & dry and my shirts still look excellent even after a couple years.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682007593914953081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-10856659331340116472012-01-18T17:02:35.675-05:002012-01-18T17:02:35.675-05:00@dagmara, To me the green is somewhere between the...@dagmara, To me the green is somewhere between their new Oasis Green and Forest Green.

I just got the order, and the tag most certainly states 100% cotton. I also happen to be wearing my linen crespi tee, which is 100% linen so I can also feel & see the difference. <br /><br />The blue is not nearly as bright and ocean 'blue' as online. It is a darker, cobalt blue, and the print is a light grey. The embroidered hart is there. (Hey, you never know!) :)<br /><br />I ordered a size medium, expecting it to be linen and shrink a bit. Based on the fit of the medium, I would say it runs tts but it is long. Medium lands at crotch level (sorry). I'm 5'-7" and short-waisted but this is still long for a tee!JustVisitinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656188832783701628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-6742936961808344622012-01-18T14:41:47.999-05:002012-01-18T14:41:47.999-05:00@cca. - I have the double cloth lady day coat with...@cca. - I have the double cloth lady day coat with thinsulate in a 10T (I'm 5'8" / 36d chest and usually wear a 10 in jc blazers/coats.)

It's a good size, isn't it? I took a risk with the Final Sale and bought the Marceau tote bag in dark green. It looks like it could be a very useful tote bag for work - I am hoping to carry stuff like my iPad, cardigan and lunch in it. Fingers crossed that it works out!<br /><br />I received the Wildcat cardigan last week and was a little disappoint to see that the background of the print is very dark beige, not the pale beige (almost ivory) in the photo. Fit is slightly generous, you may wish to size down on this one.Louise @ INGREDIENTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883303245642039938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-21772584309524176432012-01-18T10:58:25.108-05:002012-01-18T10:58:25.108-05:00I like to think that I'm a connoisseur of all ...I like to think that I'm a connoisseur of all things striped, so I'd lke to let anyone who's considering the Factory striped dress, that it is a no go. Cheap, flimsy material and the stripes do not match up. <br /><br />A much better bet is the blouson dress in stripe, but definitely wait for a sale if unlike me, you don't need it now. It fits much the same as the other silk print blouson dresses, so if you loved them, you'll love it.D*skahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231271723410897584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-20653480313244305422012-01-18T10:38:52.051-05:002012-01-18T10:38:52.051-05:00Debby- the stretch perfect shirts are probably wha...Debby- the stretch perfect shirts are probably what you are looking for. I wash mine in cold, hang to dry (or maybe 5 min. of tumble before a hang) and I haven't experienced any shrinkage. I wear a size 2 and they are fitted/just right so I wouldn't want any shrinkage either. They iron up really nice. Also the ones I have are a nice weight, in that, not see through at all. I hate that.pathoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136372135790470375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-19690311930842849192012-01-18T10:19:21.077-05:002012-01-18T10:19:21.077-05:00Can anyone tell me how the stretch perfect shirt t...Can anyone tell me how the stretch perfect shirt turns out when you wash it?

It has matte leather, which is good for smoothing or brushing away light scratches, but I don't like it. There is alot of brassy hardware. Also, now I'm thinking the shape of the bag doesn't work for me as a crossbody. I like squares or rectangles, not so much of a round shape. Henna color is more burnt orange irl. Sahara Dune is ttl, and Vibrant Coral is a chalky orange, not so attractive in my opinion. I'm sure others will love it. On a positive note, there is a zippered area to keep valuables if you're worried about items falling out of the area secured by the turn-lock closure.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_special_sizes/size512shoes/size5/PRDOVR~55817/99102529001/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~20+17+4294966925~15~~~~~~~/55817.jsp" rel="nofollow">MacAlister shearling wedge boots item 55817</a> Fit tts, crepe sole makes them comfy under foot and the sherpa feels so good against my bare feet!

My "nude" bra didn't show too badly, but you could clearly see my stomach and the top of my jeans. (Sorry, but I kept thinking that it looked like I was in a wet tee shirt contest.)<br /><br />Painters Stripe Tee: I got this as a Christmas present in my usual small. It fits like a glove -- a really tight glove. I know I hit the holiday cookies a little hard last month, but I didn't gain that much weight. This ran really tight -- especially the arms. I hate to return a gift picked out by my husband, so I will try a medium. <br /><br />Daisy Lace Top: What a surprise when this arrived at my door -- it was on backorder for long that I had forgotten that I ordered it in black. The small was TTS for fitted tops. Liked the fabric and the lace adds an interesting detail.JCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384571210358003607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-60244747451549734902012-01-18T08:49:17.263-05:002012-01-18T08:49:17.263-05:00subsubshopmurphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592410215423970143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-76609826567350839572012-01-18T06:35:47.319-05:002012-01-18T06:35:47.319-05:00Hi all!

($129.99 less 40%) FP was an overpriced $425. I normally wear either a 6H or 7. The Silvia 7 was a good fit - albeit slightly snug. The upper is snakeskin with a leather lining and leather sole. The quality of the snakeskin was good but not great - more Via Spiga than Miu Miu. The pumps appear to be well constructed and sturdy with no visible defects. The heel is 4 inches. This is slightly higher than what I normally wear for work but they were still comfortable at the end of a long workday. These were definitely a great find.Muffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474772089439426910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-47648138692821405172012-01-17T23:57:48.980-05:002012-01-17T23:57:48.980-05:00I received the Darby Glitter Toe Loafers today ($1...I received the Darby Glitter Toe Loafers today ($108 on final sale).

Louise from Cosmetic Bee mentioned she liked hers. For a person who always carries, hobos and totes, I have to say I really like this bag. I like that it is a bit oversized. Seems proportioned for a 5'5" frame. Works really well as a cross body, which surprises me since it looks so dainty, but it must be b/c it's wider than most purses this style. Also works well with the strap shortened more so to carry on one shoulder, at elbow-bent height. A very comfortable bag. The warm grey color is growing on me too.pathoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136372135790470375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-21088803695113214812012-01-17T23:21:44.030-05:002012-01-17T23:21:44.030-05:00Thanks So much Wendy and Rose!
