I restrained myself and only ordered 3 tops, all keepers. The Siena tee is sheer but lovely. I also got the waterfall cardigan and the pleated trim top (wearing it today!) It's perfect for work and will look great under a cardigan or blazer once it cools off too. I'd love to order more but trying to resist.

I thought about wearing one of my pleated trim tops to work today too, but I wasn't sure if it would be too casual or not. I work in a business casual setting though so I am sure it will work. Maybe I'll wear it tomorrow. I can totally see it working under a suit jacket though.

Glad you like your picks. I ordered the Sienna Tee and the waterfall cardy! (haven't received yet). What color did you get teh Sienna T in? I liked the Gray, but they didn't have my size, so I ordered the cream. As long as I like the fit/look, I'll keep it, even if it's a bit sheer in the cream b/c I can do a cami.

I have the cream too and it definitely requires a cami. It's very pretty though.

Cool! I just love it on the model. Good to hear it's so pretty IRL!

I'm dying here people! I still haven't received my order!

Gah - so I got my first of three shipments yesterday and am in agony trying to decide to keep any of the three items!! I got the retro dot swimsuit, the crossover swimsuit and the gladiator sandals in leopard print.

So, I love the print of the retro swimsuit, but there's a little too much 'boobage' for my comfort - which is often the case with halternecks, I find, unless you look like the model, of course.

The crossover swimsuit, I love the cut, but DH dislikes the print and colour. And to be fair I don't like the print as much as the other one.

The gladiator sandals - I love the print, but I think they're too narrow, and they show too much toe...that sounds weird, but hopefully you get what I mean! They just aren't doing it for me.

I'm so depressed!!!

I haven't received any of my 4 orders or my preview order even though all have shipped (including low-stock items, yay!). They shipped from the UK. Come on, already!

Oh man! I didn't even think about that. I just checked and the majority of my stuff is coming from the UK too.

The other stuff is coming from Pittston. I think I should get that stuff tomorrow.

So how much is return shipping if something doesn't work out?

oh wow! I received the first order I placed, which had the items I was most excited about. The Sienna T is beautiful--drapey, silky material, and georgeous crochet inset. It also has these cute gathers on the capsleeve that you can't see in the pic. 1000x better than the ON and Target knockoffs. I want to get another color. Also, the neckline is flattering, not too low or too high.

The waterfall cardy is nice and refined. Not too much "flap" in the front, which can overwhelm a shorter person, and the gather in the back adds nice shaping. Both fit perfectly in a 6 (my usual size). I'm sending back the halterneck dress. Weird shape that makes me look too "pear-y". I also think the fabric isn't that nice. http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Cleara...l?NavGroupID=4
