Fashion

Suddenly this past week - June 19 - I am seeing real summer fashions. Prior to this, most looked like fall items they were trying to get rid of. I just ordered two overpriced tropical t shirts - one by Kim and one by D&C. I do think that of all the designers, Kim had the most true summery items.

I did buy Stan Herman’s TSV maxi dress. Love it. I also bought Isaac’s off or on the shoulder dress which is the first item of his I liked in a long time. It is beautiful in the neutral. Sadly, the waist emphasizes my hips so I had to return. I do love many of Q’s summer dresses this year. But they have been presenting hoodies and fall looking items like crazy. Maybe the shipments of summery tops were delayed. They have some coming up.

I won't criticize what I've seen on QVC in 2023 for their spring/summer collection because there are a lot of people on these boards who have loved what they have seen.  I'll just say they haven't struck any cords with me. Like @ALRATIBA , a new pair of D&C Beach pants and a D&C patriotic t-shirt have been my only fashion purchases.  I've actually bought a few more pieces from HSN and Shop HQ this spring than I usually do.  Of course, Shop HQ is the only place I can pick up a couple of One World items.  At HSN, I like the new style direction that Sam Saboura has added to DG2. He was a good hire for Diane.  The brand still reads these are Diane Gilman clothes, but it's Diane reinvigorated.  I also like Guiliana Rancic's collection and a few things presented by Nina Leonard.

@Trix  I totally agree with you about the DG2 line at HSN.  While the offerings are still Diane Gilman inspired, Sam has brought a fresh take on the designs.  I love his shows too.  The brand still has work to do to get the sizing more consistent, but overall I'm excited about what the brand has to offer.

I also like G by Guliana, because she steps out with very on trend designs sometimes.  Not a fan of her many prints, but I really like a lot of her Black Label items.

I have only bought the Denim & Co beach pants too.  But I did buy two Denim & co. v neck tops (fluter sleeve) to go with it.  The fashion on QVC hasn't really caught my eye like it did last year.

@misschristy I'm a big fan of Stan Herman's items. I bought two of the caftans he brought as the TSV and I have several of his dresses, robes, etc. although I didn't buy any new dresses this year.

I bought Carole Hochman's front tie caftan too. When I get home from work, I change into either a Stan Herman dress or caftan or something from Carole Hochman or Joan River's (I bought several of the caftans from that line before it seemed as though all they had to offer was another big shirt variation).  I know people love JRs big shirts so not being critical, but Q tends to get repetitive on items.

I ordered Isaac's gauze embroidered tunic. Yes I'm sure I paid too much $ for it but it was really pretty so I ordered it.  I have a blouse similar to that from another women's clothing store which persists in falling off my shoulders! Hoping that IM's will be a better fit.
