The Tissue Cascading Twists Tee from J.Crew is a cute simple tee.
I’m wearing: Gap New Pencil Skirt, Matt Bernson Bo Peep Espadrilles
The tissue material is very thin and clings onto your body, even though the actual fit isn’t that small. The twists aren’t really ruffle-y, they are just like pasted on scrap paper strips. But it’s still cute overall and the color is cute. I got it in my usual size in J.Crew knits.
Get it here from J.Crew on sale for $24.50.
Looks like it’s a bit late for me to be doing a review on the Field Game Cardigan from Anthropologie, since it seems to have sold out. However, since the site has popbacks all the time, I wouldn’t be surprised if it popped back quite a few times.
The sweater had a weird musky smell to it so I did not have a great first impression. However, the material is substantial and feels like a high quality sweater. The buttons also were substantial and did not feel flimsy. I was worried about sizing, but I got a Medium and it fits fine, even buttonable. I would not size up.
I’m wearing: Ann Taylor Loft Foil Finish Pencil Skirt, Banana Republic Dahlia Wedges
I totally love it. It’s such an unique cardigan. Feminine but not dainty, despite the lace. Must be the fresh, bright gold buttons that remind me a bit of the classic gold buttons you typically see on men’s blazers. I am stalking the Anthro site regularly now, hoping to catch a popback in the navy color.

Since the Shimmering Jacquard Skirt from Loft has become one of my favorite go-to skirts for the summer due to its ease of wear and simple sophistication, I was hoping for more of the same when I purchased the Foil Finish Pencil Skirt with the 40% off promo.
It’s also at 21″ in length, which fits in right along with the “new summer” length I love so much from J.Crew recent line of pencil skirts. I thought surely this would be a winner.
I’m wearing: J.Crew Favorite Tank, Banana Dahlia Wedges
The description says this skirt has a “shimmering foil finish.” The shimmering part killed it for me. When I first put it on, it looked a bit like a leather skirt to me from a distance, looking tightly bound and drawing light to every bump even though it was the right size and *felt* comfortable enough. You can see from the side profile that yeah I had a bit of a lower tummy but not gee, let’s not amplify that by bouncing light off of it. It looked so much worse than it really was straight-on. Any other print skirt and I would’ve been fine. Dammit. This one only works if you wear a longer top…on me, that is. Anyone out there with no abdominal area issues will probably love this skirt.
Get it here from Loft for $69.50, now with 40% off.
