Review: Collection Wool-Silk Dress in Window Pane

The windowpane dress is currently on sale with extra 30% off. A quick review below:

Pros: great quality, can be paired with shirts or worn without any, loving the vibrant colors and the slit detail is not bad but….

Cons: pretty high slit; the dress reaches my knees but the slit is mid thigh…

Material: mixture of wool and silk with poly lining

Fit: true to size

Sissi’s verdict: undecided…I like the colors and the fit is actually nice with a belt, but I’ll need to cover the high slit and not sure it is worth it then…if the slit works for you, then a keeper.

I have another collection item to review next week: the Collection Garden Eyelet Dress.

Stay tuned for next week!

NYFW Fall Winter 2014: J.Crew

New York Fashion Week is underway for Fall Winter 2014 presentation…when we are about to get to Spring 2014! In any case, I am not particularly impressed by the offerings at J.Crew, main items to catch my attention are the pencil and knee-length wool shorts (nicely mixed with deep burgundy!).

However, I am really excited about the shoes!! Particularly, the blue pumps above and the fancy strappy ones below:

Speaking of shoes, am looking forward to the Spring collection at J.Crew…shoes look promising per below.  Also, waiting on the lime dress with front slit…lime green for spring? Check!

Which items caught your eyes for Fall 2014 presentation? Do share!
