It is a whole lot of pinkish/orange. The store only had a 4 as the smallest size and an SA told me I should be a 0 in these (I am usually a JC 2 bottoms). I looked ridiculous, even if you ignored the fact that I was wearing the wrong size. I don't know anyone who'd wear such a loud color on the bottom. And the drawstring AND elastic waistband made it look cheap. <br />I also tried on the mensy cardigan and feel compared to the Jackie it is slightly looser in the arms. You certainly can take your regular Jackie size and still wear long sleeves under. <br />I tried on the tiger pants as well in 0 and 2. They fit like the past Drake silk pants, which for me means I can never wear them on account of a bubble butt effect. <br />I went in to the store to find the sleeveless saint james tee. They didn't have the size in the color I wanted. I am normally a small in JC and needed an Xs in this tee. The small was fine width wise but the arm holes were too large. eeps.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10627356547323862881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-86673755998538351592017-07-26T17:19:19.434-04:002017-07-26T17:19:19.434-04:00Comparison of the Betty sunglasses on sale (tortoi...Comparison of the Betty sunglasses on sale (tortoise mirror) vs. the Factory colorblock sunglasses.

Am thinking it might be a tad slouchier than I want but the sleeves are a touch short of my wrists. Would like the XS for the body but I think the sleeves are better in the small. It's comfy though and I really like it. I just hate returns so I'm not sure about reordering. I think the full price is a good price on this. janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257918991247030517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-36689412221177744722017-07-26T16:18:39.749-04:002017-07-26T16:18:39.749-04:00Love that print too but agree that I'm not int...Love that print too but agree that I'm not into the orange.

I also have and love its predecessor (F1725). I agree that it is an almost identical cut to F1725 but just a little roomier in the top than the maxi version. I also took the same size as the maxi version and think it works well for me.

(Spoiler: ...Good morning JCA's - more reviews! (Spoiler: more loves than I expected)<br /><br />Relaxed boatneck sweater (H0426) - Honesty, I thought this looked like the models were wearing this backwards in some of the online pics. IMO, there’s no way that you can wear this off the shoulder unless you size up 1 or 2 (I think the model might be wearing an L). My usual S fit similarly to a Tippi (fitted, but not tight). The neckline didn’t seem to be wide enough to pull it off the shoulder (my bra straps didn’t show when it was centered). It was soft and I appreciate that it’s 100% cotton. The spice color is very pretty. I don’t know that I want to mess around with trying another size. <br /><br />Daisylace dress (G7489) - Holy flattering! I had to try this after seeing how great Anne looked. I have a wedding to attend in October. The smoky coral color is very pretty and a little brighter than the online image but not by much. These fit-and-flare dresses usually don’t work on me but this one is great - doesn’t cut in too much at the waist or flare out too much at the hips. I took my usual 4 and couldn’t size down or it would be too tight in the waist. Had a funny smell but I think (hope?) it would air out. <br /><br />Long-sleeve striped dress (G7980) - I have and love its predecessor (F1725), so I was excited to see this colorway even though I said “Uggggh…” when I realized it wasn’t maxi length. However, I like this one a lot. It is an almost identical cut to F1725 - darts in the front and back, hidden zipper, but no back slit. I think that the cut is a little less tight on the top than the maxi version - I took a 4 in both but the maxi felt a little more restrictive in the upper chest/shoulders where this version does not. Here’s my conundrum - I’m 5’5” and this hits about 3” below the knee. Still doesn’t look frumpy/matronly (another inch and I think it would have), but a little below the knee would be more flattering for me. Has anybody hemmed a dress like this before? The petite version is about 3.75” shorter but I don’t want to change any of the proportions of the rest of the dress. silver_lininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145331294538875917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-17127459283525968582017-07-26T09:12:13.289-04:002017-07-26T09:12:13.289-04:00@jan, glad you're keeping that skirt as it'...@jan, glad you're keeping that skirt as it's lovely and will serve you well on future occasions.
