And Now for Something Completely Different...Garnet Hill Reviews

Garnet Hill, I try.  I really do.  First you send me an e-mail saying free shipping so I jump to purchase the gold sandals and some other things.  The very next day- BAM- 25% off eveything.  Can I call and just apply that savings? No.  I have to reorder and then send back the first order and then try to put my foot behind my head.  Sigh.  But I got the shoes:
 
Gentle Souls Upon-a-Star Gladiator Sandals, size 9, soft gold here
 
So much better than the J Crew monstrosities.  They fit TTS.  Garnet Hill has them listed in their dress shoes..but I think they can do casual too.  Lots of support and padding.
 
Of course I had to be a good consumer so I also tried a pair of shorts, a top, and a swimsuit...cruise is coming up (24 days and counting).
 

Washed Silk Shirt, Size 10, surf here
Boyfriend Denim Shorts, Size 8, dark denim here
 
 
First the shirt: It is huge.  I was tempted to get the 8 but not sure that would do.
 
The color and feel are great.  Just not sure of the size.  You're on your own there.
Now the shorts:  I am over either a 3" inseam or cuffs.  I have thighs and the cuffs just draw the attention right there.  The shorts fit tts.  The denim is thick.  The rinse is good.  I am just not sold.
Butt view.
Look at that six pack.  Rise is good.
I really am getting a flat ass. Sigh.
Just not right for me.
I look stumpy.
Now for the swimsuit:
 
Garnet Hill Retro Ruched One-Piece Swimsuit
Boy I hope I look like that in mine.  That and it can contain the girls.  It is suppose to mail out today.  They are having 20% off all swimwear right now.
Garnet Hill Retro Ruched One Piece, mine's Aqua here
Yes, I will post pictures if it works.  If not, you will never hear about it again and i do not want it mentioned.

  2. Ack, that would hurt. If I do, I will curse you and then take a picture.

  3. I love those shoes! Agree on shorts - the perfect shorts are elusive, like a unicorn, once you find your brand/size/cut, it is imperative to buy them in every colour and hoard them for the coming zombie apocalypse. I love the shirt, agree the size down would be better, but it looks kind of chic up a size!

    1. Almost exchanged the shirt for an eight maybe a six. It really is cute, just not sure what size to get. I'll be tempted by Garnet Hill again, I just have trouble with the sizing and fit of their clothes.

  6. No to the shorts. You can do better. I adore the shoes, though. Have fun on your cruise!
