Carla oversized items

Both the jeans and jacket look.terrible on Amy and the plus size model. Over sized is one thing on Gigi Hadid with one piece of clothing. To combine both pieces is awful.

The vendor's dress is a color nightmare. She just put jacket with it! Eeeek!

Voluminous clothing is not my type. CR seems to offer that quite a bit.

I'm honestly surprised that the CR collection wasn't phased out. I never saw the wow factor in it.

Nothing appeals to me in her line

Carla’s line has been VERY Popular at The Q. If you check out the items many are limited in sizes and the majority of reviews are positive.

She had a successful 1st TSV recently and her BIG deal going on now is practically Sold Out. I did notice a lot of her items are on 2 Easy Pays only, which I’m guessing is her choice.

It's possible her designs appeal more to the younger crowd which most of us are not. If they like it, they can have it.

I love CR and I'm not young.

I saw her the other night and she had on green pants. Looked like clown pants.

I liked that Carla uses prints and color. Her designs appeals to her type of personality. I like different things and lots of color but her clothing is not my style. I find it a good thing that she offers something different.

I felt sorry for her that her hair was bothering her she kept trying to push that clump of hair back out of her face. She needs a short haircut and treatments for over processed hair. She is very attractive and it distracted from her looks.

I enjoyed watching her show.

Now thinking that one item is interesting but two together are overkill.

The oversized look is not for me . I do like the green color items but not the style.

Carla and Alina are into the over sized big time !

Last yr, I did buy Carla's shirtstyle long floral dress for a special occasion which I received many compliments and the l leopard skirt . I also bought two 3/4 lurex sweaters from her line .

She's never had any appeal to me.

Last time I bought a "swing style " jacket was in 1980 . My Grand Mother said the swing style was reminiscent of what she wore in the 1940's.

I havn't see this look out in the stores, must be a trend.

Looks like her selling point is "more is better", down to the glasses which to me look ridiculous. But...to each their own...

Just took a look at her line and saw nothing remotely attractive.

And the oversized look can be very 'sloppy' at times, fitted is usually much more flattering.

Unfortunately Alina has stated she's not doing oversized anymore and if you want that look you have to order up a size.

I am in my 70's and buy quite a few of her sweaters and blouses because I look best and love her bright colors. I am still active in business and the tops I buy give me a modern look. The dolman sleeves and shorter tops look better on me than tunics with wide leg pants, which are my favorite right now. I need a break from tunics. I pass on her lounge wear and pants. I agree with others, they are all too volumous. Four of her coats are in my closet -love the colors and styles. For me, the items I choose to buy really perk up my wardrobe.
