Gratitude Wraps are back ya'll! I picked up a Black Swan for myself today (size 8) and a Black one for my sister. From what I can see they are the same overall design as the originals but I think the fit is slightly different, perhaps less fabric around the waist. My old size 8 (which I've sold a long time ago so can't directly compare) was more a-lined/triangle shaped and fit big on me where as this one from the boobs down fits more like the 6 I have. I'm not totally sure I'm keeping it since the fit isn't the most flattering on me. I find they end at my widest part at my hips and draw attention to my short legs. I love how they look on just about everybody else so, I dunno, maybe I'll keep it.
The inside lining of Black Swan is a herringbone pattern!
same cuffin detail
elbow patch
Neck detailing
And most remarkable is the price! They haven't increased the price, in fact, the price is lower then it used to be!!! That deserves a hearty round of applauds, no?
Ok, I have to admit I was a touch more excited about the newest running luon items. This lovely new Full Tilt SS was so adorable on. I really want the Rocksteady one but it's sold out in my size. This one is lovely as well so if I can't score a Rocksteady one I'll be sure to pick this one up.
And a comment was left on my blog late last night letting me know there was an Lilac Full Tilt Long Sleeve out and low and behold here it is. So lovely in this color. I'd have snatched this one up except I have a Lilac Inspire pullover so I can't justify this one in this color. It does give me hope that we may see more colors such as Paris Pink.
Great post Lulumum. That black swan is divine.
ReplyDeleteAre the arms tight? Can you wear anything under it? Like any hoodie?
ReplyDeletethe lilac full tilt long sleeve is just WOW! I have heathered rockasteady and I love it! But I'm waiting for paris pink....
ReplyDeleteBetween Full Tilt LS and Swiftly tech LS, I prefer the full tilt for running.....
and I need a pink paris pullover........... I have the alpine pullover in white and it's a little boring :S
Anon 12:25, the arms fit like a hoodie (Sing Floss Travel, WWA etc.) I wouldn't layer a hoodie over a hoodie so even sizing up wont give you teh arm room to layer a thick sweater underneath. hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the full tilt will be in even more colors??? i like the lilac but im afraid i might like future colors more! eeeek!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the full tilt SS you've posted! Can anyone tell me the name of it?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tania
OMG!! I have to have that black swan GW! I pray it's not fine by the time I get to my store tomorrow!!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps I missed it...What colors did you see in the GW?
ReplyDeleteSo did you get the same size in the GW as you did in the SFT or WWA? thanks!
