I loved the Banana Republic Chambray Shift (item #633076) when I saw Gigi wearing it on her blog (thanks Gigi!) so I ordered two sizes to try. It is 70% lyocell, 30% cotton. I wear a 10 in J. Crew dresses and I ordered a 10 and 12 in the Chambray Shift. The 10 fit and looked good, but was a bit close. I was much more comfortable in the 12 and that is the one I am keeping. The 12 still had that fitted look. It wasn't too short on me (5'4"). It's $110 but I bought it using a promo code so keep an eye out if you like it, BR seems to have a lot of promotions.
ReplyDeletecate - I liked that dress! If I got it, I would've sized up. I think it's running small. Thanks for the mention :)
DeleteMy first guest reviewer on 1060 Pairs! Thank you, Caroline, for sharing pics & commentary about the Sam Edelman Becker, a calf hair sneaker.
ReplyDeleteI ordered a pair of shoes from a UK website, & other stories, which is apparently an upscale H&M offshoot. They don't ship to the US so I had to sign up with a forwarding service. (I used forward2me.) The shipping cost is pretty horrible but I want the shoes so badly and they are only offered on the stories web site. I just paid the shipping today so I'll let you all know how it works out when they arrive. Wonderful clothes on the stories website, I'm thinking about going back for a coat and a dress.
ReplyDeleteBought some things on sale on Zara too. Not sure why the Cotton Trench Coat is still available in two sizes, I got mine last week and it's fantastic! It will make a great spring coat. I'm so tired of wearing my North Face rain jackets, I want something more modern. Also, in spite of the beautiful colors for spring and summer, I'm shifting to minimalist dark colors (navy, grey, black) with white and ivory accents. I was surprised by the quality of the Zara coat, nice fabric, nicely made too.
