I like the sweaters (although they're both similar) and the last top!

[MrsK]

Here's what I got:

Market & Spruce Trace Tie Waist Cardigan in Tan. $78. My apologies to anyone who kept and loved this but everything about it says "crazy cat lady" to me.

Gilli Eleonora Dress in Navy. $68. I didn't expect to like this because it's not lined and looked flimsy when I took it out of the box. Also, I thought the pattern looked old fashioned. I was pleasantly surprised with the fit when I put it on and I like the flared sleeve. The stylist recommended that I try it with some specific items I already had. I didn't like it with the items she suggested but it worked with other items from my closet.

Gilli Jasmine Printed Pencil Skirt in Burgandy $54. I want a printed pencil skirt so badly but this one is not it. It's unlined and, well, after 3 c-sections, I need something more substantial to hold in my belly.

DRD Octavia Coated Skinny Jean in Black $118. I love the idea of coated jeans. I think I'd like it even more in a metallic or other color. But these don't fit me well.

Brixon Ivy Gambino Sequin Detail Pullover Sweater in Off White. $78. I actually pinned this on my Pinterest style board. I like the idea of this, mixing sparkle with function. But the sweater is cashmere and angora and is super sheer. It's so delicate that I thought it was going to snag on the sequins. No way this would survive my kids. Also, the sweater is too big on me.

It's one sweater -- the bulky oatmeal one. I tried it with the belt and without. I thought it was slightly better without.

The longer lighter weight hooded sweater that I tried with the dress is mine. It's ivory with a metallic gold thread throughout. Thrifted, of course.

I like the dress but the rest is meh. Don't seem to fit you well

Got it. I think I would like the bulky sweater, but mostly for being comfy and not necessarily stylish, in which case it's a bit pricey.

I'm not crazy about the dress, but it's also just not my style, and I don't know that I should be a reference for what's stylish. It does fit you well.

I agree with you on the skirt and the jeans.

And, that's too bad about the last sweater, because it's really my favorite piece! I'd wear a cami under it to overcome the issue with it being sheer, but that doesn't help if it's too big. It doesn't look huge to me, although I do think with that fit it would look better with a skinnier pant.

The jeans in the last pick with the sequin sweater are the coated "skinny" jeans from this SF. I've got really small legs so "skinny" doesn't look skinny on me unless they're leggings. I would have worn the sweater with a camisole too if it wasn't so delicate. I'm afraid it wouldn't last a day in my house. I was afraid to even fold it up to send it back because I worried that the sequins would snag the knit.

Dress is fun. I don't love the rest, though.

I like the dress and the pencil skirt. Could the skirt feel more comfortable with shapewear?

It's really flimsy. Like something you'd buy at Justice.

We were out of town, and I found mine waiting for me when I got home today.

Kut From The Kloth Danny Knit Pant - $68
These are in the next few pictures. I'd asked for black dress pants, but I was really hoping for more of a straight leg, and these are tapered. Can I wear them with flats? Should I just send them back and find some straight leg pants on my own?

41Hawthorn Lisbon Stud Detail Blouse - $58
This is the one that I'd requested since the stud blouse I got last month wasn't the right size. It fits well, and I like it. DH isn't crazy about it. (That's my belt showing through. I'd need to wear a shirt underneath it.)


Brixon Ivy Natty Lace Detail Blouse - $68
I feel like there's a lot going on here... There are some cutouts along the neck, and the sleeves and the top of the back are see-through lace. My hair would cover the back, so I'm not too worried about bra straps showing, but I'm not sure about this one in general. On the other hand, I have a couple of skirts that it would go well with.


Mak Jaclynn 3/4 Sleeve Button-Up Cardigan - $38
This one is just too small and shows every lump. Nice color, though.




Market & Spruce Domi Overlap Hem Pullover Sweater - $58
I really like this one. It's totally different from anything I have.

[rufflesanddots]

Um, you are gorgeous. I like the pants and everything else except the white top and blue cardi.

Same opinions as [MENTION=4468]rufflesanddots[/MENTION]!

[alotofyarn]

I love the pants! They're really flattering on you and look great with flats. I don't love the white top. The cardigan doesn't look bad unbuttoned, over a different top, but you could definitely find one that works better.

I like everything except the white top. My favorite by far though is the stud fuchsia blouse, you look great in that color!
