first thing first, i apologize for my blog hiatus for almost a month now. wow! time goes by so quickly. but i was busy with mom visiting, my visiting mom and bill, had a couple days off filled with projects, catching up and yes, a little SHOPPING.
next and very important, i want to thank everybody who made my birthday this year so special. thanks for all the cards, presents, phone calls, dinners, bday cake, hot dogs (oh thats right i said hot dogs), time spent hanging out, etc. it was a good one. thank you!!!! soon in the upcoming posts you will get to see all of the beautiful pressies i got for my birthday. thank you again. I LOVE THEM ALL!!!!!
for my first day back to work, i needed a great outfit. going back to work after a week plus off is definately accompanied by a hugh amount of dread. a good outfit can sometimes help cure that though. :) i love this skirt! it is the jcrew seersucker pencil skirt and it is the best. it does NOT wrinkle people! i repeat IT DOES NOT WRINKLE! amazing! and its so versatile. i never imagined i would be putting stipes with stripes but i like it and think it really works. i also would like to point out these shoes. a jcrew jewel. a perfect height heel for me and a great color too. maybe in my next life i will be able to wear open-toed shoes to work. *sigh*

ReplyDeleteHow was the fit for you on the j.crew silk bow cami?
ReplyDeletei sized down from my usual shirt size (i usually wear an 8 but chose a 6). i felt the eight became too big in the neck and arm holes. the six fit much better on top and where it hit at the hip was becoming a little small in the 6 but since i was going to tuck it in anyway, i stayed with the smaller size. i say size down! also, not sure if you know but its on sale online but even better in the store. now $49.99 with additional 30% off!!! thanks for reading my blog. hope you are enjoying it and if you are please consider becoming a member :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the detailed review and the heads-up on pricing, Kim! You just helped me so much. I came upon your blog searching for silk bow cami reviews in the stripe pattern (since JC sizing seems to be all over the map). I used to read a lot of fashion blogs but have kind of scaled back lately. However, I will consider becoming a blog follower, because you gave such a quick and thorough response.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Happy belated birthday!
