Fit Review Friday! Naked Cashmere Lavina Shawl & Banana Republic Morgan Cotton Cardigan

 


Happy Friday! Is it still too hot to be shopping for cardigans? September is sneaking up on us all and it'll be here sooner than you think. I wasn't planning on buying cardigans this early but I was able to snag both before my no-buy challenge and I'm glad I did.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS in Naked Cashmere and XXS in Banana Republic tops. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and PXS in Athleta tops.

Lavina Shawl - (currently sold out)
also wearing Athleta's Seasoft Straight Pant in Abalone Gray Size PXS


I'm really sad the Lavina Shawl is currently sold out, but the Montauk Fisherman Hooded Cardigan is similar and also on my list for the fall. I've been eyeing it for months now! It's going on my fall wish list. It's cashmere but looks very chic and sporty. Right up my alley. 😍

Montauk Fisherman Hooded Cardigan Heather Gray


Back to the Lavina Shawl, I am embracing the long sleeves. I can always cuff them if I want to but I sort of like the look! I am totally wearing this outfit to the office come fall and I can't wait. Anyone else tired of this hot weather? 




I took a million and one photos because every single shot is just too perfect not to share. I don't know how Naked Cashmere does it, but they make it look so effortlessly chic and luxurious but casual at the same time. The cashmere is so soft and not too heavy and not too light. 



I'm wearing size XS and it's perfect. Just a little oversized but still looks amazing. Color is Oat and it's such a great neutral. I'm also wearing Athleta's Seasoft Straight Pant in Abalone Gray. Lululemon's Softstreme HR Crop Pant in Bone is also very similar.


Morgan Cotton Cardigan Transition Cream White Size XXS


I've been on a Banana Republic kick lately and the crochet detail on this cardigan is so pretty I had to have it. The sleeves are a little long and I did cuff them up once. I'm wearing size XXS and it's a little big, so this cardigan runs large. 



The weight of this cardigan is absolutely perfect. Not too heavy, not too light. It's also made of cotton and feels really soft. Also planning on wearing this to the office. It's such a pretty piece. The only drawback is the lack of pockets but seeing that it is a crochet piece, it's probably difficult to hide the pockets. I still love it enough that I can overlook it. 


Let me know what you think of these two pieces! That's it for me and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Shop:




Ebb To Street Crop Tank $49

Ribbed Softstreme Slim-Fit Tank Dress $94

    Hi Leslie,
    I love cardigans/wraps and I’m always looking for ones that drapes well with a good weight. The Morgan Cotton Cardigan Transition is so pretty but of course it’s sold out in size XXS on the Canadian site. :(

    I love these Naked Cashmere pieces! They have such beautiful knit sweaters. Perhaps someday I'll own a piece.

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  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. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...
