I received my order about 10 days ago. Expected to only like one or two things... But:
Sent back the two dresses, a Tori star and a Farah midi as the looked horrendous on me. I don't think they look too flattering on the models, so wasn't too surprised I didn't like them in the flesh. Why place the waistband in that position?
Both dresses certainly made a feature of my pot belly and just looked awful in general.
Completely and utterly love the Fay jumper, which although semi sheer, feels sturdy and not delicate. The hem gathers, rather than hangs, which I was hoping for. Am trying hard to save it for warmer weather, but want to wear it now as it's so lovely!
Star boyfriend jeans I love, they're so soft and comfy. Have worn those a few times, they kind of remind me of the vintage men's Levis 501s I used to wear in the late '80s, (like Bros
) but much more flattering without the excess 'man area' material bulging between waist and crotch. I'm an apple, with no arse or hips to speak of, so I do need a belt. I usually hate jeans on me and fully expected to send them back, so was pleasantly surprised at their loveliness.
Marina W/B stripe - fully expected to send this back as I am not a long flowy skirt type. Well I thought I wasn't. I then ordered the Marina in B/W, and intended to choose between the two. Well that didn't happen, and I kept both of them.
I even like the wispy look of the slip only coming half way down.
Lastly, a pair of harems in the new slate colour, which are fab. I was hoping for a new colour so had to grab those.
All in all am well pleased with my (not so?) little haul! May eye up the linen boyfriend jumpers now... Linen creases really badly though?
