@Joizz11 and friends...
You asked about my purchases. First, I did some holiday gift shopping for the family and my wonderful mechanic, who has been a godsend throughout my "new"/used Honda purchase this past year. Plus my lawn service guys who have gone above and beyond when I really needed fast and heavy duty muscle. They all be getting scarves. I thought the socks were unisex, until I looked closer and there wasn’t a size chart or choice in this new item. Picked up many pairs anyways. I know my Sister, still recuperating from her serious leg injury will adore these. Added a few of the new beanie hats. Some for me, others as gifts.
Moi...well I had ordered the Cali cardi in in the garnet/ rosewood combo which should be here this week. I'm quite taken with the Rosewood color. It reminds me of the color oxblood, or even cordovan.... As I remembered those tasseled loafer shoes all the way back from high school. As a just in case back up, on check, is the So Cal cardi in solid rosewood, in the event the Cali cardi blend doesn't float my boat.
I flipped seeing the pants! They looked sooo good. I liked the waistband, clean lines and they didnt seem too or overly wide when presented. If there was a sizing discussion on air, I missed it and wished time would've been spent during the two airings I did see, re size recs. [Same for many of the new and non tsv items shown too. Very lax and disappointing for me that this crucial size info was glossed over by a useless stretch or tug and neglected] Nonetheless, I bot sz small and will cross my fingers for a good fit. Yes, I'll most likely have to hem these too.
I put alot of thought into the Taupe tsv. I love my blazer cardi in the same color and found it pairs well with many BD sweaters I own in addition to other garments, including my plethora of Linea. So, I ultimately added the pant, beanie and succumbed to the regular length tsv. Not sure if it'll be somewhat redundant owning the blazer cardi, but I see many of you here opted for both in the Olive and are very pleased with that decision.
Speaking of which, lol, I went full out in this Olive shade too 😉! I've been impressed with all of the glowing comments by those of you who preordered this tsv color. I picked up the regular length, as I like the look on me in spite of my short stature. Bought the pant, scarf and beanie too.
I, like many others, was curious about the Ash grey! I looks very handsome, rich and darker than the mid tone Graphite which to me, has a blue undertone. I have the scarf and beanie coming so I can access this color in person and determine if I'll release the pant or tsv I'm currently holding. It'll be interesting to see this next to Carbon, my other dark grey BD color.
I did pick up the cowl in Almond and Garnet. Again, that on air tugging and stretching did not provide adequate size info. I have gone up in other cowl necked garments but purchased a small due to the slightly larger numbers on the click here size chart. I hope I selected the correct size. We'll see.
I have the new button front cardi in blue still on check. I do not know what size to get at all. I've sized up to small or mediums on the slouchy and the kangaroo pocket hoodie, but can't get a read on this one. I'd so appreciate any comments/thoughts any of you might have to share. Or, I'll hopefully see some reviews. I do really love the texture of this featherknit, or to me, looks like an eyelash type of knit. TIA on help with this!
So, that's my tally this time around...oops, forgot I have the Garnet tsv on check too. Covering all color bases in this and related shades...and that my story and I'm stick' to it. (So far 😲)
