DeleteThanks for pointing those out, they are cute! I love the Cayenne colour and higher neckline. The fabric looks pretty substantial too.
oh my goodness, I had pretty much that exact dress in black - the cap sleeve and empire waist and above the knee and wore it to my college graduation in 1996 :D! Mine was from The Limited. I remember it well. I wore it with some Pro-Ked sneakers was which the indie girl cute look at the time. :)
DeleteFeels like the 90s are having a fashion revival =)
DeleteEverlane dresses (so absent-minded!)
ReplyDeleteI’m not much of a dress person, especially not shifts, although these do have some shape, but they do look very cute. The cap sleeve version is adorable. I wonder if they really CAN be dressed up? If you get one please report back.
DeleteI don't plann on trying them imminently. You're our numero uno Everlane reviewer SuZ =)
DeleteI don’t think I’ll be ordering a dress any time soon but I’ll keep checking the Everlane site for reviews. Empire waist line isn’t usually the best for me, although it’s nice that it has a little more structure than a tshirt dress.
DeleteSpeaking of everlane, I’ve been wearing my black tread sneakers on our neighborhood walks. They are honestly the most comfortable sneakers I’ve ever worn. So great for walking the hills and asphalt. I’m still contemplating the off white but trying to not buy them just because they’re on sale.
ReplyDeleteI’ve also worn all three of my day gloves and love them.
Hmmm ... Comfortable sneakers are always needed. I am very loyal to Nike/Converse (and have scored great deals on their extra 20-30% off sales) but may try the Everlane treads once stores reopen.
DeleteI haven’t tried Nike in forever and the vamp on regular converse bothers me a bit, so YMMV, but these are like nothing I’ve ever worn. I typically exercise barefoot but for outdoor walking and such they’re wonderful.
DeleteSpeaking of Everlane, anyone tried the Court Sneaker? I'm looking for a new all white leather sneaker for summer .
ReplyDeleteI haven’t tried those but I did get the madewell sneakers that are all white. Mine have a gum sole with some glitter mixed in which some people hated but it doesn’t bother me. I only tried them on but they seemed pretty comfy. Haven’t worn them out yet.
DeleteAlex Mill sent a discount code over Memorial Day so I tried these pants in asphalt. The linen is super thick. They seem to fit better a little low on my waist and end up looking like a super cool drop crotch ala Nili Lotan $$$$. In comparison to a pair of Joie linen cargo pants I got from rack last winter (still love them) the material is much more substantial. The look is not for everyone but I love it. My only “complaint” is that the wash is a little lighter than I expected but I think it can be versatile enough. I am not crazy about how they look on the models but rolled at the ankle they work well. They’re a good length. Not too cropped so they can be rolled.
ReplyDeleteFor those following along I think these are more me than the pleated tie waist ones I ended up returning.

I can see you in that, worn with a loose linen top for the total slouchy look, or a fitted tank.
DeleteI already wore them today (but with a tshirt honoring my daughter) but with the red Everlane day gloves and loved them. My husband noticed right away and complimented. They’re great warm weather pants, but honestly thick enough to wear year round.
DeleteTalbots is now selling Ratti print items. Very pretty pastels.
