Oh Tippi, You're So Fine...

...You're so fine, you blow my mind! Hey Tippi!  Hey Tippi!  Sorry, I'm a child of the eighties, I couldn't help myself.  :o)

Review: Old Navy Boat-Neck Sweaters (Heart, Polka Dots and Stripes)

Hearts, Dots and Stripes, Oh My!  All some of my favorite things.  These sweaters are so cute and the price is just right!  $24.94 to be exact!  and I was able to get an additional 20% off, bringing the total of each sweater to $19.95.  Now you can't beat that with a stick!  Until 7/21 you can use code "ONNEW20" to receive the 20% discount and as always, if you order over $50 you get free shipping.

The fit is tts....I'm wearing a M in both the heart and the polka dots and a S in the stripes.  I like the fit of the small better.  It's a bit shorter, the arms fit better and it just offers a more flattering fit.  So I would say, go with your normal size.

The sweaters are boat-neck and are made of 100% cotton.  Soft cotton, might I add.  They are also lightweight without being overly thin.  Even in the white polka dot version, I was not exposed.

They offer all of these sweaters in several different colorways.  You can check out the various options here.

Have you tried these sweaters?  If so, what are your thoughts?

Review: J Crew Factory Slim-Stripe Tunic Dress

It's hard for me to talk bad about my beloved stripes, but this dress did me no favors.

Let's start with the positive...it won't take long.

It's made of 100% cotton and fits tts. (I'm wearing my normal S)  The fit on top was good...the arms are somewhat fitted, so if you have muscular arms that might be an issue.

The negatives:
For me, it's too short and the fit did nothing to flatter my figure.  Also, it has the little slits on both sides...don't like that either.

Have you tried this dress?  If so, what were your thoughts?
