so a few weeks back, when i was out in NH, cake and i stopped by a f21. one of our favorite places to poke around. here are the items that i tried on. you can see if i bought it or passed on it. also i give my review on the item and some insight into why i might have taken it home with me or left it for another shopper to try. enjoy.
review: i am not usually one for items that remind me of other things, but this one was okay in my book. it does resemble a nurse/doctor/scientist lab coat, but i don't really care. i thought this would look great during the summer over a bathing suit at the beach {and i am always looking for something with sleeves since i burn easily} and i think during the winter it will look great with boots and my typical standby of jeans and a black turtleneck. i do not anticipate wearing this over a dress, i think it might make me look more like a potato sack than i'd like to look like {or give the illusion of a robe}. i also thought i'd step out of my comfort zone & try a style i don't normally try, a kimono look. i bought this in a M, here's the link.
passed.
review: first off i love a good illusion neckline; this is what first attracted me to this dress. then the fact that it had sleeves was an added bonus. i can't wear sleeveless things to work, even during the summer so i am always on the look out for summer things with sleeves {or a good cardi to pair with sleeveless items i can't resist.} on the hanger this dress was a perfect find. then i put it on. the fit was OK, but the color was not good on me. at. all. cake was trying to convince me to get it...and while she was close i eventually had to pass. it was a little dressier than my typical work dress & other than looking kind of like a kate middleton dress, i saw no reason to buy it. i tried on a M. follow this link to buy yourself this dress.
passed.
review: so truth be told, i loved this chunky cardi. but i have so many like it. the texture was different, the fit was good, and the sleeve length was ideal; i just don't need it. i really thought about it, but in the end {just like the above dress} i had to say no. it was the right decision. it was also on sale...so it was not easy. i have on a M on. it was a major sale item, so no link. sorry. don't hate me. to make it up to you here's a similar one :)
bought.
review: having to wear a light blue collared shirt for three years of high school has subconsciously made me not buy anything in this color. i own almost nothing in pale blue so it was risky to try this on. i actually liked it. not only the color, but also the cut. i am not someone who should wear cropped tops...eh...like, ever, so this is a good alternative. it's cut a little longer then a crop-top and i thought it would be a good pair with any of my pencil skirts. so i took a risk and bought it {so far, so good} i bought a M. link to my not so cropped crop-top.
review: i think most women are always looking for a new go-to summer dress. i thought this one might be mine for the 2015 summer, but it was not. while i like somethings about this dress, i did not buy it. i love the color. i like the material, i like the cut of the top. however i did not like the length, way too short, and i did not like way it hit me at the waist. i think for someone a little taller who doesn't mind a short summer dress this would be fabulous on them! for real. i am keeping my eye on dressed at f21 with the same neckline, only in a midi skirt length. so, with a heavy heart, i passed. i tried on a M. link to your summer perfect dress? maybe :)
bought.
review: so i saved the best for last. as soon as i saw this i knew. and i couldn't be happier with this purchase. i love a good swing top & the weight of this material & the length were perfect for me {length to wear over jeans, not as a dress!} i am a sucker for a nice white top and this one will be worn all summer long & into the cooler months. its only been a few weeks and i've already worn this a ton- as a top! i might buy it in other colors. since f21 items have a tendency to shrink i have NOT put this in the dryer and it's stayed this shape and length. i am one happy camper. i bought this in a L. similar link.
thanks for following. happy shopping.
