Loving the fading orange from this interesting jacket, as well as the leaves and ruffles from the dress….getting into Fall mode! Hope you all enjoyed a great weekend!

This week, I’ll start a new series on the NYFW trends for Spring Summer 2015. Stay tuned and @+
Outfit of the weekend: the J.Crew No. 2 pencil skirt in wool serge in pinot noir, matching every pump shoes, reviewed below, and the silk shirt in tall.
Purchased the Quinn Ankle pumps a while back on one of the promos but was only able to wear yesterday. If you are considering the pumps for Cyber Monday (or subsequent days), my review below:
Pros: I love ankle shoes and the straps (cuffs 🙂 ) on these are very comfortable, they are not too tight on the ankle either. The leather is of great quality, buttery and all (whatever that means 🙂 ). The heel is a very manageable 3 1/2 inches, they actually feel lower than three inches, very comfortable and could be worn all day. The color is a pretty blue. Fit is true-to-size with a tiny room so you could do half a size down if you like a tighter fit but I believe TTS is the way to go.
Cons: The color may be difficult to pair but I personally like it
Sissi’s Verdict: Keeper!
Do you agree? Please share! The other pumps I like from the sale section are the Leather-Bow Ankle Strap.
If you have tried them on, let me know if to bite or not. They look pretty cute on Pink Peonies.
During the 40% off promo, I purchased three pairs of shoes from J.Crew. I ended up returning the everly pumps for an exchange, and am still undecided on the glitter and jeweled. Let me know what you think!
Let’s start with the Everly Jeweled printed pumps:
Pros: Nicely made, the print is unique and definitely stands out, moderate heel, comfortable, nice jewelry addition
Cons: fabric will peel off I fear, especially at the heel, jewelry and metallic accent may seem a little too much, price
Sissi’s verdict: undecided, leaning towards keeping.
Next, the Everly Leather Pumps in Vintage Murberry:
Pros: Nice leather, soft and high quality, moderate heel, comfortable, may be dressed up or down
Cons: I received them damaged (scratches all over….seriously?!? 😦 ); leather covered heel…so hard to maintain compared to wooden heels
Sissi’s verdict: Returned for exchange; will keep the exchange unless defective again
Finally, the Nora golden glitter ballet flats .
Pros: Comfortable, fun
Cons: Glitter will come off (choker!), runs large
Sissi’s verdict: undecided, leaning towards keeping.
What do you think? Please share!
