Denim Shirt, Medallion Skirt and Unidentified Striped Silk Popover

Denim western shirt

Fits TTS, substantial weight and nice dark wash. Quite soft, considering that the fabric is substantial. If you are looking for this type of shirt is seems well made and the cut is good, fitted but not overly so.

size 6

Simulating tucking in
I think that because of the thickness of the fabric tucking in may be tricky.

It didn't gap on me in size 6 but it was borderline. Overall, I think it is a very nice shirt, although expensive.  

Not sure if I would like to tuck in into the sequin skirt, but that's just me. I would wear it with colored skinny denim or printed capris. If I had any of those, that is :)

No. 2 pencil skirt in medallion paisley

This skirt was $69.99 in my store. It is a nice skirt, with the usual J.Crew pencil skirt fit. It just totally lacks the 'wow' factor. 100% Cotton and unlined. 

Correction: it is fully lined in 98% cotton, 2% spandex. Thanks Whitney for pointing it out!

Size 4. Fits TTS

with Spindrift sweatshirt in size M
Painter stripe bateau tee

This us a nice basic tee, if you still don't have enough of stripes. I like it in black and I think it would look great with black bottom.

Size Small, borderline on me
Size Small is rather fitted on me, I would consider Medium, if I wanted to buy it.
 
I like the elbow length sleeves


Unidentified silk popover

This is new and I don't see it online. Hugely oversized. It reads 'pajama top' to me, which is a trend now, so I guess it is intentional. It would definitely benefit from some styling. It may be cool when done right, I think.  Maybe with wide legged long trousers? I would prefer it in different color, this combination seems a little harsh to me. But some may see it as crisp. What's your take?

That's all folks.
Tomorrow I will review dresses, two from new arrivals and one not yet online.
