Fit Review Friday! Banana Republic Merino Blend Flare Sleeve Cardigan and Italian Wool Cashmere Scarf and Mooncat X Star Wars!!!
Happy Friday! Before we get into today's review, I have to talk about Mooncat's newest collab with Star Wars!! Yep, you read that right. The collector's box and polishes are amazing. This limited edition drops on 12/13 at 9am eastern time. I'll have some photos at the end of this blog post. I cannot wait.
Today's review are two items that were on my fall/winter wish list. Banana Republic is having 40% off sale.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size Petite XS in Banana Republic. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon and Petite XS in Athleta.
The flared sleeves really stood out to me and they honestly look amazing. I love the lines and the cut of the sleeve. The fabric is a merino wool blend. It feels very soft and is not itchy at all, but there is some static electricity going on that I'm not crazy about.
Even though this isn't petite sizing, the length of the cardigan hits at the hip. The sleeves are long, which I realize can get annoying especially if you have to use your hands a lot.
I love the tulip collar. Overall, it's a cute cardigan but after debating for a long time I ended up returning it based on the long length of the sleeves. I type a lot and think it would just get in the way. I do love the look though.
I did however, end up keeping this super soft wool cashmere scarf. It is oversized, but so perfect when it's freezing, which for some reason Atlanta this year is COLD! I wore it out a couple of times and really love how it looks. The purple and red work great together and will provide a nice pop of color against a neutral coat.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a terrific weekend!

Are you guys ready?!!!!
Drops 9am on 12/13
A total of 7 polishes. Sticker set and a glass file. I'm definitely getting all 7 polishes and the glass file. The box is Darth Vader! How amazing is this set?!
This polish is the first ever thermal magnetic polish. It changes color and you can magnetize it.
Just gorgeous!
This one is probably my favorite one. I just can't take it!!!
If you want to see more swatch photos, pop over to their Instagram page.
Star Wars nail polish!!!!! I'm pining for the entire set, but I don't wear nail polish enough to justify getting the whole set (even though the Vader box is fantastic!). My two favorites are A Galaxy Far, Far Away, and Scum and Villainy. I wonder if they're planning on doing a Light Side set too......
ReplyDeleteI like the cardigan, but I agree, the sleeves are too long. A petite version would have been perfect. And the scarf is beautiful!
Hi Lola!!! I placed my order at 9:07 lol. There is some speculation they might do a Light Side for May the 4th. That would be really cool. I guess we'll see. I do my nails every week, but my collection is so out of control right now. I need to give some away and get another case!
DeleteI like the collar and body of the cardigan super cute! The sleeves could be shortened by a good 5” 😅
ReplyDeleteSeriously! Why do sleeves have to be so loooooong!!
DeleteMy Mooncat came!! The polish is soooo pretty! I haven’t tried out all the colors yet but I tried one color and the shimmer is beautiful. The packaging is exceptional too! It came in a box with my four polishes inside. The Star Wars collection looks really cool! Thanks for the recommendation :D

Also the cardigan would be cuter if the sleeves were balloon and cinched in. I feel like bell sleeves would drag over and touch food if I reach over the dinner table -Janessa
DeleteHi Janessa! So glad you're liking the Mooncat polish! If you have any questions about it, let me know. I've been using their polishes for a couple of years now. Which color is your favorite?
DeleteTrue, the flared sleeves are cute but just not very practical.
When I try the other colors I’ll let you know which is my fave! -Janessa
