Thoughts

Ok, I feel bad that I haven't posted in awhile. Nothing's been blog-worthy. Then..... lightbulb! I was looking at some other blogs and noticed that a lot of people do thoughts on new arrivals at stores. That is exactly what I'm doing. I think I'm doing Hollister, JCrew, Abercrombie, Forever 21, and American Eagle. This will be a long post! 


Hollister:


Diver's Cove

I like it. Sort of. It seems pretty typical Hollister floral skirt, but the ruffles are relatively new. Verdict: nice ruffles, not very exciting


Victoria Beach

Hmmm, I like it, but I wish it had puffy sleeves like the Surfer's Point. I love the fresh white and blue combo. So summery! Verdict: Nice colors, wish it had sleeves


Oh yeah, I'm not doing all new arrivals! This post would take forever to do! I'm just picking  two things.


JCrew:


Perfect Shirt in Wild Ikat

I love this shirt! I'm loving ikat, and the color is perfect! The sleeve length is great for summer. Verdict: Love


Sequin Smolder Dress

Craziness! I could picture someone wearing at an insane party, but for $1,100, I wouldn't wear it more than once, even if I was that crazy! But I like the ombre.
Verdict: Crazy, expensive, sequin-y


Abercrombie:


Jody

Really, Abercrombie? Really? I can't imagine wearing a big A on my shorts! And I think Abercrombie and Hollister shorts are to short to be flattering, but that's just my opinion.
Verdict: weird. Abercrombie's going downhill fast!


Megan

Listen hard: It's not winter! I'm just curious: why do they have a heavy coat in mid-summer? But If it was winter, I would probably wear it. Verdict: winter coat in the summer. Hmmmm, interesting! But cute. Kinda.


Forever 21:


Aztec Woven Top

I love it! The colors, the style, the pattern. It's ikat! And we all know I am in love with ikat! Verdict: love! I would wear with white denim, denim, or gray shorts!


Distressed Denim Shorts with Suspenders

Leave it to Forever 21 to put suspenders on distressed shorts! I guess it's possible to make them work, but until I see it, I'm not going to believe it. Verdict: Wow. Who wears this? 


American Eagle:


AE Embroidered Boho Top

I love almost all Boho things, including this. I also love anything embroidered. My problem with this shirt is the color. It's summer! I love the brights of summer! It looks good in navy, but it could look so much better in a brighter hue! Even a lighter blue would be an improvement! I have nothing against navy, but it could be so much better with a brighter shade! They also have it in Chalk, but it's still not quite doing it! Verdict: Love the style, wish it had a brighter color!


AE floral Boho Top in PInk

Yes, this is pink. I love this shirt! I loved it so much, that I bought it. At first, it looked odd to me, but I tried it on and loved it! My favorite thing to wear with it is my high-waisted denim shorts. It's so colorful and 70's! I own like two 70's-y articles of clothing and this is one of them. Verdict: Love! Perfectly 70's!


Ok, that was a long post! And I know I'm really late, considering that this is a new arrivals post, but it's better than nothing at all! 


What do yall think? Are they to crazy? Subdued? Any thoughts on the stores or other "new" arrivals that aren't really that new anymore? I'm gonna call them mid-season arrivals! Any other stores I should check out? Does anyone else love the very few 70's pieces that they own? Tell me I'm not alone!
