I can almost forgive myself for dropping nearly fifty beans on a t-shirt. I'll confess I suffered an irresistible attraction to this tee b/c of my attachment to Copenhagen. I spent the dough and was relieved to find the shirt to be of higher quality and style than many of the thin and overly droopy options that abound. I'm 5'4", a buck twenty, 34a-28-35 and ordered my usual xs. Fits great. Not to swingy or boxy or too long or too short; I feel like Goldilocks. There aren't any shoulder seams, but there isn't an exaggerated dolman either. The slub silk fabric is great. More 'substantial' than 'thick.'

The lonely SA gave me the Dec. style guide and the Holiday Gift Guide when I asked for the new style guide ?<br />I tried on the Harlow pants ...the price in Canada is the same U.S price so these were of interest to me. They are lined and a nice light wool. they could have been a little higher waisted but the big fail for me is thecalves are tight ( my calves are alittle large but I do not have to order extended calve size boots....so not really that large) The colors are lovely esp. the mint !<br />The drapey crepe oxford popover (long name for a top) Is very nice ...I love crepe. I sized down but those drop shoulders are just ill fitting one me.<br />I am not a fan of the firework print...too red white and blue for me. <br />The grosgrain ribbon tops...sleeveless and long sleeved shirt were both a pass. Just very boring.The beaded zipper top is cute but I could not be wearing it here for months.<br />The shoes...love the navy mule but its too high for me. A mid heel<br />in this one would have had me buying FP. <br />the navy regent is a hit for me but I already have two navy blazers so not this season.<br /> The store had a tiny sale section and not much new jewellery. They did have the new colors of the downing tote but not the hobo or uptown one. Lots of the new cece flats that I can't wear either because of no support. They did have all colors and sizes of the cross/over sandals...filmsy and for me okay for the pool.<br /> <br /> I did not see the stand up collar leather jacket ....I don't believe we get collection items often....but Joe fresh has a pretty good knock off if your interested.<br /> Well I left empty handed....left the old style guides there......Mickey If your reading....Canada needs better prices as the dollar is down...and we need to keep the new items coming in along with maybe a style guide ??? Please do not pull a Target on us !!! thanks from Canada<br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748716793401919727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-34648969320072467762015-02-01T07:14:11.752-05:002015-02-01T07:14:11.752-05:00Another fan of boulder wash skinnies here!

Their high rise jeans are amazing although I have to get them hemmed (which Madewell does for free if you're okay with losing the stitching of the original hem). I've noticed online and B&M inventory and pricing can vary widely so if you live near a store it's better to check things out in-person. <br /><br />Although it's a couple rollouts old I'm in love with the ex-boyfriend shirt in shaw plaid. The buffalo check and small gingham pattern peeking from the inside is simply PERFECT. Also--POCKETS.

I tried each color in two sizes each and in the grey wash, both sizes felt EXACTLY the same. And the leg opening on the smaller size was larger than the leg opening on the bigger size. How irritating! There was a slight difference in the sizing in the white jeans, but you could see the pockets through them so I personally wouldn't buy them. I wanted to try on some other new arrivals but the pieces I liked, they didn't have in my size. I didn't look at what was in sale.<br /><br />I also stopped into Madewell and tried on every new arrival that they had in my size. I love the Silk Garden Top but it definitely runs big. The Silk Journey Shirtdress is very nice but did not work for me because it's made for people with long(er) waists. The Chambray Popover Shirtdress felt really nice and substantial (too warm for summers probably), but it didn't give me enough of a waist so I didn't feel too comfortable. The Countdown Skirt flared at the sides and was way too big at my natural waist in my normal size, so that one was a bummer. I wasn't able to try on the Abound Dress (not even in store) or the Pleated Ponte Midi Skirt (not in my size). I wanted to also try on the skinny skinnies in the boulder wash, but they didn't have any in my size...so I tried on the black skinnies for comparable sizing. They told me about the new grey wash in the high-riser skinnies so I tried those on; they felt really nice so I'll be keeping an eye on the price. There are lots of great new washes in the high-riser! I also perused the sale section and found the Silk Cinch-Waist Dress, the only one left--and in my size! I fell in love and ended up taking it home since it was 40% off $90 and the student discount on top of that. I LOVE when Madewell does 40% off sale. Definitely check your local store to see what they're doing; when I called mine to find out, they said they'd be doing 40% off for "a while"...<br /><br />xo KimiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-29192274291349950972015-01-31T23:37:15.526-05:002015-01-31T23:37:15.526-05:00Has anyone seen Kelsey grey heather suit dress in ...Has anyone seen Kelsey grey heather suit dress in size 2 or 4.

When you're not making all THAT much and you know that things are going to go on sale within a month or so, why buy at the higher price? I think that the VPS's still buy the new stuff, but they're making more money, as well.<br />As far as pinning clothes on the mannequins, I totally agree. I was looking at the Ryder pants and thinking that they hung completely different on the mannequin than they did on me, and then I realized that her legs were about as big around as your standard rolling pin. ::sigh::Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053282965789354783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-82334426661709728022015-01-31T13:43:24.130-05:002015-01-31T13:43:24.130-05:00@Dmitri- Oh my word!

I used to love going to the store and seeing the new arrivals for a couple of reasons. The styling on the mannequins and also seeing the SAs wearing them. Gigi reminded me this morning, that even though I saw something in store yesterday that I liked it had the heck pinned out of it to fit the mannequin. I get that when size choices are limited but if a XXXS does not fit the mannequin without pinning what is it going to look like on the rest of us. Plus, there was a time when I would walk into the store and most of SAs were wearing a new arrival that they loved and just had to have. I always enjoyed seeing it on them and how they had styled it. Now it seems like they are also waiting for a dropdead sale price or shopping elsewhere.

It's now 40% off sale, jewelry was 25% off, and Tippis were all $10 off (not sure if that means they're eligible for the additional 40%?). Student/educator discounts are stackable.<br /><br />I tried the flounce skirt in drapey twill and thought the poly material felt SO cheap. It was already wrinkled all over too...total decline in quality compared to poly skirts I've gotten from J. Crew in the past few seasons even though the prices are the same. The layering vest with Primaloft also felt awfully thin, flimsy, and cheap. At this point I was turned off and didn't want to try anything else.<br /><br />Looking through the style guide now, I'm attracted to a couple of Collection sweaters and the colors they are being offered in...but the prices are too much for me! I'm also loving their "rustic mint" color this season and would like to get the merino-cotton tunic or d'orsay flats in that color...but I'll wait for the reviews first. <br /><br /><br />Dmitrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973130842844429295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-13927511436596805742015-01-30T22:46:28.535-05:002015-01-30T22:46:28.535-05:00probably...probably...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748716793401919727noreply@blogger.com
