You know when you have an idea of how something should be and then it turns out even better? No, I’m not talking about hopes and dreams and life — I’m talking about this cardigan. I saw it on the model and wanted it to fit exactly how it does, but I was skeptical because it looks kind of short on her. I took a chance because I’m always willing to take a chance on a Gemma pink anything. Turns out it fits super drapey (AKA the perfect amount drape) and the length is just right. I don’t know why this cardigan looks slouchier on me than the model, but probably just the way they have it styled. (For reference: I stayed true to size (I’m in the medium) and love the way it fits. You can find the cardigan here.)

When I was looking at these photos I thought that the knee rips in these jeans should have been, well… at my knees. I was looking at the photos thinking no way that my knees are THAT misplaced on my leg and how have I lived so long with low hanging knees? After further investigation, the knee rips are definitely more thigh rips, so that’s a big sigh of relief. For once it was you, jeans, and not me.

Fit Details

I did not size down in these jeans like some of the reviews suggested but stay true to size and I’m so glad I did! They are more of a mid-rise but they are so flattering and have a great fit. Lots of stretch! This cardigan I stayed true to size!
