Review: Houndstooth for fall

Stopped by the Crew for the promo on full price items and saw the asymmetrical houndstooth skirt and matching regent blazer. My review below.

Sissi’s Weekly Review – 17th September 2014

What: Asymmetrical houndstooth skirt and matching regent blazer by J.Crew

Season: Fall 2014

Material: 100% wool outer, 100% poly lining for both

Quality: Excellent. The wool is warm and high quality. The colors are pretty dark, perfect for Fall and Winter. May seem a little matronly, depending on how you pair it.

Fit: True to size. If you are between sizes at the Crew, I’d advise to go with your larger size because of the straight A-line. I LOVE the zippers as they add attitude to the simple cut. Am stalking the cream and burgundy colors for the sales 🙂 I feel the skirt (or the blazer) will complement any of those vibrantly colorful tops from the crew, a nice toner aside from the usual blacks, greys and blues.

Sissi’s Verdict: Keeper…the promo is good but you may want to hold for sale, if it lasts 🙂 Have you tried on either item? Please share!

OI: Lines and Berries

Outfit Inspiration: Pop Art, Stripes and A Sweater Jacket Review (21Nov13)

This week’s outfits mainly comprised of sweaters (yes, it’s indeed cold outside), boots (review of the Tory Burch boots next week!) and jackets.

On a side note, if you are thinking of purchasing the J.Crew sweater jacket, I’d highly recommend. It is very warm and the shape is similar to a leather jacket but made of wool 😉 Love the zippers and buttons!! Would have gone with pink (more stylish in my opinion) but the navy is more practical so navy I purchased. And pulled everything together with the stripe schoolboy blazer and a scarf 🙂
