KinShip Blouse

I took the size 0 in this Odille top. I often size up to a 2 for Odille but there is a lot of stretch in the blouse because of the rushing. There was a bend in the ruffle collar on the blouse I grabbed, so careful storage may be required or occasional pressing. I really loved the blouse but I wish the waist sat just a little bit lower. It would have been more flattering. As it was, I felt a little thick through the middle. The high waist also prevents it from tucking in smoothly. The only other possible issue I noticed with the Kinship blouse was that the back is pretty sheer. Online lists this blouse as also available in dark purple but the color I saw in store looked like grey not purple. I’ll keep my eye on this one and maybe try a 2 in the future to see if I can gain a little length. A 2 might also prevent that button right at the waist from pulling but I suspect it’s caused by the seam and may need a tiny piece of fashion tape.

Peppered & Striped Skirt

The Peppered and striped skirt from Tracy Reese is just perfect for Fall. Warm grey wool, golden dots, a touch of plaid, and those cute little buttons, what’s not to like? I tried on the size 2, which is tts for me since gaining about 5 lbs (grr but I digress lol) The skirt sat high on the waist and fell just below the knee. Normally I like my skirts just above the knee because I’m a shorty but the fullness on the skirt it kept in check, so I think it works longer. Although I really like this one, it wasn’t screaming to be taken home. The more I think  about it though, the more versatile and wonderful it seems.

High Tea Trousers

I first tried these pants on a couple weeks ago in a size 0. That was pretty soul crushing let me tell you. This time I grabbed the size 4 and could get them on. The rise on these pants is quite low. There is barely any zipper but on top of the zipper are three hooks and the belt. In the size 4 the rise was workable and the hips and legs fit well but I would need to have the waist taken in. The pants are cropped and I just can’t decide if I like it. I’d like to see these with heel and booties. I love me some plaid so that is really the only reason I am considering them, not at full price though. Still the material is quite nice not uber thin like some of the other plaid pants at Anthro.

Rational Ruffles Tee

With the trousers above I am wearing the Rational ruffles tee. I took the size xs which fit well. The neckline is very scooped but appeared to be high enough. All those ruffles along the front certainly add some thickness but I don’t think it’s unflattering. There are no ruffles along the back and the material is quite thin, so I found it a little unforgiving on my back chub lol. With a cardigan though, this tee would be adorable, another to add to the sale wishlist. Sorry for the crappy pic on this one. The pink color is so close to my skin tone that it was hard to get a clear pic.

What do you think? Anything I should have taken home?
