STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Grrrrrr, I'm so disappointed now!

You know what? If it makes you feel better I saw this in person yesterday and while the cut is nice, the fabric (I don't remember what the actual content was) was a gross acrylic. I don't know why they would make a summer item out of a synthetic fiber. You'll find something nicer.

You know, that does make me feel better because since the store didn't have it and I have no idea what the fabric is like. So it's definitely not a linen-cotton type of material? That's what I'm ideally looking for....

I know they have another tunic on the website now, but they only carry it in black. I want at least white, but also some more spring-y colors, not black...

Sorry to hear about the tunic - did you have any luck with the rest of your visit? I'm glad to see the weather finally cooperated!!

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

Yup, I finally got to leave the hellhole! Er, I mean Iowa! (I really can't stand it here) I stalked the weather online all week too. The stuff I bought is posted under the "weekend shopping" thread.

The weather was gorgeous (for winter). 40 degress and totally sunny and clear, so perfect. I am disappointed that I didn't buy a single clothing item though (I'm always kind of upset when I make big shopping plans and then don't really find anything-it's kind of weird and depressing). MOA didn't have anything, in fact all I bought from there was a stuffed toy from the Disney Store. I also drooled over jeans in Nordie's, or was it Bloomie's..I can't remember...

I really can't believe the tunic was there a week ago and now it's not. It was a new item and not on sale, so I'm confused as to why it isn't there anymore. Maybe I'll try the Old Navy here to see if they carry it...
