What: No.2 pencil skirt in houndstooth by J.Crew

When: Winter 2016

How (Material): Wool upper, polyester lining

Why (Pros):

Look: Classic pencil skirt, hits right at knees.
Comfort: Very comfortable.
Quality: Great quality. Love the inside details, the corduroy at the waist and the fun lining. Well done! Color is darker than the previously offered No.2 skirt in tweed.
Sizing: True to size.

Why Not (Cons): Nothing much. Beware the houndstooth is darker in color than pictured.

Sissi’s Verdict: Keeper! What do you say?

Weather is cooling down at a fast pace and somehow, I ended up with Tippis and long-sleeved sweaters all week 🙂 Some outfits to inspire you below.

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.
