I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...
Thanks for the heads up on the Lululemon Black Friday Sale! Nothing for me but I’m loving the new holiday items! Tempted to get the Peaceful Moments Full Zip in Heathered Grey Sage but it looks more green than grey to me. Didn’t recall seeing this color in person so I’m on the fence. Heathered Black doesn’t look as nice in this style in my opinion, and I’m not sure about Heathered Ancient Copper. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteThe Scuba Hoodie Gold Heathered Light Ivory and In Stride Jacket in Violet Verbena are also pretty.
I agree the black doesn't look as nice in the Peaceful Moments Full Zip. For me I think the best color of the three is gray sage. I say order the gray sage and if you think it's too green, send it back? I'm not liking the bright red on the zipper tape for the heathered ancient copper.
DeleteI do like the Scuba Gold hoodie too! But man, so many hoodies and not enough days to wear them all. LOL.
Thanks for your advice, Leslie. Just hate having to go to the post office for a return during the pandemic. Have to seriously think about it cos I’m not a green person ...
DeleteI’m also missing the OTF pants. I have three pairs and wear them all the time. Not loving the higher waist Keep Moving Pants either.
Wow--surprisingly I'm not loving anything from markdowns or newly uploaded. The cropped Define is cute, but I wish it wasn't cropped or a Define, lol. I don't like cropped jackets since they aren't actually warm and don't like fitted sleeves. I guess I wish it was totally different...with the same features, ya know?
ReplyDeleteI'm sad the full length OTFs appear to be being discontinued. Those are my go-to's for work, and I'm not a fan of the Keep Moving replacement.
Agreed with you, the Define crop is cute and looks fantastic in white, but I'm not liking fitted sleeves anymore ever since I started wearing a smart watch. Not being able to roll up the sleeves over the watch is such a pain. Which is why I am loving the oversized trend these days.
DeleteI stocked up on OTF pants. I wear them to the office too. I can never go back to wearing real trousers ever again! The Keep Moving replacement just doesn't look as streamlined.
I’m also not really into anything on sale or new, either. I’ve been spending way too much money on atheisure wear and workout clothing lately so I am sure my wallet and husband will be happy about that! :)
ReplyDeleteDid you get your Scuba Plush in Chambray yet? Interested to hear your thoughts. I really love my Heathered Cranberry color and ended up getting to the Chambray too. I do like the Chambray color but found that the fit is on the bigger side. I’m going to keep it anyway because I love this Plush version but wonder why this happens with some of their clothing. The fit is just off sometimes with certain colors.
I did! Just finished photographing both colors. The chambray is definitely looser than the white alpine which I feel is true to size. I definitely do not like the white alpine enough to keep. It's a little boring imo. The chambray is more interesting but it's such a spring color to me. I am going to order the heathered cranberry to see if I like it more than the chambray. I only want to keep one!
DeleteI got the Cates tee fade (I think the length is very flattering for petites! Leslie, you may like it!), hooded define in desert teal and squad goals hoodie in chambray. I hope desert teal is more like night diver than the dull teal shown in stock pics!
ReplyDeleteYup I have the Cates Tee Fade on the way! I couldn't resist the blue. I'm a sucker for nice tees. The desert teal is very pretty, night diver is definitely darker but let us know how it is in person!
DeleteI got both align tanks but missed the AYT in ancient copper. I have a lot so I don't need it. I'm looking forward to Thursday's sale! Also I got my scuba oversized 1/2 zips in heathered light grey and submarine and I surprisingly love them! I like the oversized fit bc I can layer. My favorite is the light grey but the fit isn't too boxy for me maybe because I'm used to wearing the POC all the time. I'm 5'2" if that matters.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like your Scuba Oversized 1/2 Zip. I tried it and just thought it was too boxy on my small frame. I'm hoping Thursday's sale has some good stuff but at the same time I really don't need anything, so it really has to be special/great deal. I'm spending some time this week cleaning up my closet and I think I'm running out of room! =T
