Dressing Young (Part 2)

These are the pants

Love those! Love them in the black

Those are the jeans I sent back, in a blue denim. The rise was too high for me, came up to my ribs.

I’m usually good with high rise but these were a little too high for my body. Thinking of ordering a pair that has a lower rise but the same shape. Because I love the style.

We must have similar clothing taste. I have a mild scoliosis so I usually find higher waisted pants uncomfortable but those have a lot of stretch in the waist band. I’m just not sure I’m comfortable with such a high waist as I’m usually a mid rise jean person.
The quince dress does run small in the bust. It fit me nicely but I’m not very large.

I got this cute blazer from Quince for our trip to Portugal in October:
100% Organic Cotton Knit Blazer (quince.com)

This was the first time I ordered anything from them and the blazer is well made and looks really cute with jeans, dresses or leggings.

DeeCee36 - my favorite fitted, flattering brand of shirt (for work) is Alfani.

Love it! How is their sizing?

I purchased a medium which is my normal size and it fits me well.

I also bought this Marine Layer blazer when I had $25 off there.
Birdseye Blazer in Black/White Contrast – Marine Layer

I really like a casual blazer when we travel so that I look a bit more put together.

I have a gray casual blazer I got a few years ago from J Crew that I love and wear all the time.

The quality is probably not as good but I saw this at Costco today. I didn’t pick one up because they only had large sizes left. There were more colors than the link is showing.

Thanks for the link @88jm19. I just ordered it in black, can’t beat the price for casual wear. I had no idea that Costco doesn’t take Amex.

I just ordered it - I never buy clothes usually but this looks super useful. I hope I don’t regret ordering a small - I’m usually a medium these days but the reviews suggested it ran large and I’m small across the shoulders and chest. I guess we will see! Thanks for the tip.

I picked this up in Costco yesterday. I would have just passed it by if I hadn’t read about the blazer here on CC. I got black but they I was tempted by a colored one. I also picked up a black thermal cardigan/ jacket style by Splendid. It was just 19.99 and includes a tank. I figure it would be good to put on over black leggings.
I’m keeping the high waisted pants from Anthropologie. I can’t recall the last time I wore a high waisted pant or a flared pant. What would you wear as a top?

I ordered the black one online and it should arrive tomorrow. Glad you like it.

I bought the blazer from Nordstrom. Glad I read the reviews and ordered an XS instead of my regular M ! The XS is sooo roomy. I would have been swimming inside the M. :laughing: It is a very comfy casual blazer! Love it.

I know this post is from nine days ago, but I’m just seeing it now. I order from Sundance Catalogue a bunch. Yes, the shipping costs are a drag, considering many other places I order from have free shipping. Someone replied to you and said if you sign up for their emails, you get a code for free shipping. Well, maybe that is true initially when you sign up, for a one time order, but it definitely is not ongoing. I’ve been on their mailing list for years and I don’t regularly get free shipping. I do watch for sales, which I think they do fairly regularly compared to in the past. Also, when I receive my order, typically these is a card in the packaging offering 15% off my next order by a certain date, and that date is often good for about two months.

This came yesterday and looks so cute with the Quince tan blazer I posted above. I’m going to pair it with a short tan boot or white leather tennis shoes for our trip to Portugal next month. It makes me feels so young and stylish!
