My Latest Cravings .... And No, It's Not Food! (Hint: It's Clothes!)
A little pictoral journey through what I am lusting over at J.Crew (and waiting to buy!) right now!
Stretch Double Serge Pencil Skirt - $98
I have the Cinnamon Spice wool pencil skirt from the fall that I LOVE and I didn't even consider getting another one until I read Gigi's post and review here and saw it in the store. I didn't try it on, but I think I would get my regular size 2. I wonder what size I would wear in the Petite? Maybe a Petite 4? I might try that, as well. I'm torn between this papaya color and the slate. Due to extreme lack of need of the item, I will wait until this at least goes on sale and there is a promo.
OK, this dress I've been stalking for a while and it finally landed in the sale section today. Here's the deal: I cannot wear it or even know if it's going to fit me properly right now.... but I love it so much that I think I'm willing to take the risk on it in my regular size 2. I'm watching the numbers closely on this one and will order it when the timing is right!
Shown on the model in the less-popular silver color... this color is darker in person and I actually really liked it!
And here, in the more talked-about golden color. I have not seen this in person.
I was full-on prepared to hate this when I saw it. I just didn't get the concept of metallic in the spring time... but it works. It works for now, it works for later... it just works. I think what sold me on it was the buttons and the length. Honestly, it is not going to be the most comfortable cardigan you've ever owned.... it's a little rough.... but it might end up being your favorite! I'm torn on the color to buy, but I'm not sure I'll be able to wait for a promo or sale to buy this! Hey, my birthday is this month! ;)
Does anyone know about the sizing on the Ames dress as compared to beach dresses, etc....?
How about the pencil skirt? If I were to order a Petite for a shorter fit, shouldn't I size-up?
How are other ladies wearing their Metallic Beach Cardis? I'd love to hear about it!
