Weekend Sales plus Reviews on Chunky Knits and Petite Friendly Jeans

pleated cami chunky sweaters ruffle sleeves step hem jeans review

Hope you had a great week!  There’s lots to share today so let’s not waste any time.  Today is the last day (sale has been extended) to get up to 25% off at Shopbop – see my picks HERE!  Ann Taylor is having 40% off full price dresses and skirts with code: ALLDRESSEDUP.  I love this sweater dress and this pleated skirt.  *Update* Get 50% off everything plus FREE SHIPPING Loft (use code: SURPRISE).  I like this dotted bell sleeve dress but suspect it may run large.  J.Crew is having 30% off everything (use code: SHOPFAST). I bought these leather riding boots (excluded from sale) and will try to review them soon.  Get 40% off at Banana Republic (no code needed).  I have this trench cape and love it!

Nordstrom Rack has been killing it lately!  I’ve been finding so many great items recently.  I couldn’t believe how fast my olive jeans sold out (see previous post HERE).  This Halogen pleated cami is another score.  It was available on Nordstrom but sold out almost immediately.  I was shocked to find it available at Nordstrom Rack!  Sizing runs big and I’m wearing XXSP.  The straps are adjustable (thank goodness) and alleviates it from being low cut.  I adore the pleated hem and it looks super cute layered under a cardigan for fall (see bottom of post).  Comes in four colors and on sale for under $30.  Would recommend!

Okay so the photo above doesn’t really do this sweater any justice.  As always, I was in a rush and this was the best I could do.  The price was too good to pass up for cashmere – it’s currently 67% off!  Sizing runs small and I’m wearing size PP.  It fits similar to XXSP or 00P in other brands.  I love how simple it is and will be a classic piece you can wear over and over again.  Available in four colors and would recommend!

These AG stilt crop jeans are AMAZING!  I ordered it out of curiosity because I really don’t need another pair of jeans.  I’m a huge fan of AG jeans because they always fit so nicely and make your legs look slender.  Based on the stock image online, I wasn’t expecting to like these at all.  It looks very awkward on the model – the holes don’t land on her knees and the fit is not flattering.  So I purchased it without any expectations and well needless to say, they fit perfectly and I love them!  I’m wearing my usual size 24 and they seem to run slightly larger than my other AG Jeans.  It’s not skin tight throughout the thighs which is always a plus (lol) and I like the fit much better.  The inseam is PERFECT and doesn’t require any cuffing (even with ankle booties)!  If there’s one thing I would want to change is I wish the bottoms were a little bit more tapered.  Other than that, I love them and would highly recommend!

Sweater: c/o Talbots flounce sleeve cowl neck sweater (size PP) |Jeans: BP. step hem jeans (size 24) | Shoes: c/o Vince CamutoFranell bootie

If you love chunky and slightly oversized knits for fall, this flounce sleeve cowl neck sweater is adorable!  I initially thought it was going to be way too big but after trying it on, I really like it!  Sizing runs true to size and I’m  wearing size PP.  The sleeves ares lightly long on me however for this type of sweater, I can get away with it.  The quality is really nice and comes in four colors.  Love and would recommend!

BP. step hem jeans

Here’s the BP. step hem jeans I posted about HERE.  These are an updated version of my old  pair (see HERE).  They are not exactly the same but very similar.  I didn’t realize when I placed my order that there were velvet patches (it’s hard to tell because it looks like threading).  I wish they wouldn’t have done this because I LOVE the wash and fit.  Hopefully I will have time to take a closer look to see if I can remove the velvet patches.  They aren’t TERRIBLE but I could do without.  Will keep you posted. 🙂

**UPDATE** The velvet patches are easily removable and I was able to do it in under five minutes!  Turn the jeans inside out and use a x-acto knife to remove.  The outer part peels off but to remove where the stitching is, take the x-acto knife and carefully pull apart with one hand while cutting with the knife.  Super easy and as long as you go slowly, it shouldn’t ruin the integrity of the jeans!

Here’s what the pleated cami looks like underneath a cardigan.  Super cute right?  This shirttail open cardigan is pretty decent.  I don’t love it however it’s very soft and comfortable.  I’m trying on size XXSP and would say sizing runs true to size.  The sleeves are long and I have them cuffed up twice.  I have too many similar sweaters otherwise I would probably keep it and would recommend!

Is anyone else panicking about the holidays?  I’m already starting to freak out and have no idea why.  Maybe because I think there’s so much pressure this year because Milan is so aware of what’s going on and I want to make sure she has the best time!  It was so much easier last year because she was still so young and didn’t really know what was happening (lol) but now it’s go time and I have to start planning!  Gah!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
