Here is my first of reviews for the fall.
Ruffled Plaid Dress
Spiffed up with an asymmetrical ruffle and an ivory bud, your granny's tartan frock has been transformed into a creation for the modern gal without losing its magical sense of nostalgia. By Floreat.
I couldn't wait to try this dress on after I fell in love with it online. The dress is just as beautiful in person. Sadly, the store did not have my usual size 6 so I tried on the 8. The dress fit very well in most places. However, the arm-holes were way too big for my liking. I might consider this on sale, but not full price due the issue with the arm-holes.
Dried Leaves Dress
As autumn turns, trees shed their leaves along the neckline of delicately seamed boiled wool. By Girls from Savoy.
This style dress is not one that I would traditionally gravitate to. However, I saw the review on the In Pursuit of Pretty things blog and I fell in love. One of the bloggers from that page paired the dress with a white collared shirt and it looks so darling. I didn't have a white collared shirt with me at the time of this photo, but I tried to make do with another top. I took a medium in this dress and the fit was quite comfortable. I bought this dress and can't wait to pair it with a white colloared shirt, cute tights and Mary-Jane shoes in the winter!
Sugar-Coated Shirt Dress
A sprinkling of candied treats tops Edme & Esyllte's crisp cotton frock, sweetening each fold from the collared neckline to the A-line skirt. Roll the sleeves up to show a cherry-red lining, or leave them loose to tie at the elbow.
I want to love this dress. I really do. Sadly, I don't think my wanting to love the dress will cause me to truly love it. I love the idea of the drses and I even like the fit of the size 6. However, I can't get over the idea that this dress reminds me of Little House on the Prairie or a sad frumpy dress from the 40's that secretly yearns to be a bright and vibrant dress. Oh well.
Garment District Blazer
A daring detail in the midst of proper plaid, the feather on the lapel of Elevenses' blazer adds some twist to traditional tailoring.
I'm a girl who loves (LOVES) jackets and coats. This one caught me eye online and I was so excited to see it in my store. I love the plaid and the small details that really make this jacket (the feather, ruffles, etc). I found the fit to run a bit small so I sized up to an 8. The 8 fit comfortably with a little room to spair. Wish-listed!
Oxer Jacket
Lithe ruffles jump from one side to the other on Tabitha's tweed topper, nimbly scaling a pair of front flap pockets.
Have I mentioned that I love jackets? This jacket is darling with the ruffle details. It is a light-weight jacket and will be perfect for fall and the light Georgia winter. I took my usual size 6 in this jacket.
Boucle De Souffle Jacket
With a slightly nubby texture, this cropped silhouette curves into a well-tailored coat topped with a treat of frill. By Elevenses.
Yes, this is yet another jacket review. I love this sweet jacket. It has amazing details and a fun lining on the inside. This jacket runs a bit big so I took this in a size 4. I adored this jacket and it came home with me. I purchased this in the ivory color as I felt that this color showed the details off and the ivory is very rich looking. I can't wait to pair it with a black tank underneath, black pants...and perhaps some fun red shoes for a pop of color.
Here is my current fall wish list (that is way too long!):
-Garment District Blazer
-Redux Jacket
-Cream Confection Jacket
-Alice in Autom Sweatercoat
-Coin Purse Cardigan
-Summer's Reminder Cardigan
-Slow and Steady Cardigan
-Herringbone Sweater Jacket
