Elie Tahari "Brenna" Top: Love! Ruffles aren't too crazy, colors interesting and soft. Professional but not too formal or stiff. I would keep this one, except I found the same top online at a substantial discount, so I bought it there instead. Chaiken "Jackie" Pants: Great fit. And the length is perfect -- this is so rare in pants, I almost bought these just for that! But unfortunately, the material is scratchy inside and made my legs itch. So sadly, not keeping this one. I also want to mention, there was a gold colored necklace by Marlyn Schiff with a sky blue pendant that I didn't get a picture of. It turned me off right away and I didn't even bother trying it on. The gold tone looked cheaply plated and the pendant was a bit tacky. |

Tracy Reese Embellished Shift: Beautiful! Amazing material and craftsmanship. I adore that deep shimmery green. Love the design and little details like the buttons at the shoulders. I really wanted this to work on me, but overall it felt loose and lumpy, I think something like this would look better on me if more fitted. Cara "Stella" Necklace: Nice necklace with mixed metal discs. It looks good doubled up too. I don't have any necklaces like this and its flexibility is appealing. I think it pretty much goes with anything! Geranium "Elizabeth" Link Bracelet: I'm amazed my stylist found bracelets that actually fit around my tiny wrists! But even though this one fit, I thought the design was too chunky and bulky. |
Myne "Jude" Top: Well constructed top, love the interesting pattern. Soft breezy fabric that's work friendly, comfortable and has lots of breathing room without looking too bulky. The perfect summer office piece! Paige "Verdugo" Jeggings: I admit, these are the first jeggings I've ever tried. I'm not entirely convinced on the trend. These particular ones were way too long and the denim just didn't feel good so tight against my skin. Citizens of Humanity "Avedon" Skinny Jeans: Skinny jeans aren't normally my thing. I don't have a good picture of this one, but it fit very much like the jeggings. Too long and even if I hemmed the jeans, the shape of the thighs and calves would have looked weird on me. It just seems designed for a much taller person. I did think the skinny jeans were way more comfortable than the jeggings. |

Beth Bowley Kaleidoscope Top: Kaleidoscope is right! Was hesitant about the print at first, but it doesn't look bad on me. Love the blocked sleeves and loose frame. You can't see this in the photo, but this top has really large arm holes which I found extremely comfortable. And I was pleasantly surprised to find they added fabric along the edge of the arm holes, so your bra doesn't peek out. Such thoughtful design! Unfortunately, the colors are a bit too crazy for work, so I'm not keeping it. Cara Threaded Chain Bracelet: Another bracelet that actually fits my wrist! I like the fabric threaded throughout the links, but this is too bulky for me. It looks OK while I'm just standing there, but it's nearly impossible to operate a computer mouse or type effectively with that thing on. |
Theory "Etiara" Dress: Yay, a "grown-up" LBD that I can wear to work, but also to happy hour! I really needed a closet staple like this. It's comfortable, versatile and you can't tell in the picture, but it has pockets! POCKETS, I tell you! It's modern yet classic, definitely something I'm keeping. Lodis "Olympus" Belt: I wasn't terribly impressed by this belt. It has an interesting silvery greenish shine and up close, there's a nice snake skin pattern. But it's a pretty generic accessory and not something I want. This was really fun and I liked most of the styles. I ended up keeping the Theory dress, Cara necklace and Myne top. Return shipping is free and easy, as they provide a pre-printed label and shipping box. I can see myself getting addicted to this service. They normally ship every 3 months, but I'm already hankering for another box! |
