Monday Shopping Report: Madewell and Evereve.

When I joke about being the worst blogger it's only kind of a joke because, y'all, I am the WORST blogger. I had very high ambitions this weekend - a trip to the best mall to try on all the things at Madewell and Evereve and take good photos and show you what's good (or bad.) Such ambition! Here's what always happens: I get in the dressing room and start trying things on and go snow-blind and forget to take photographs and then panic and try things back on and forget again. It's too stressful in there! Like, I bought two things and didn't take photos of either of them! Literally the worst. Anyway, I did manage to take a few photos, so here you go:

I went to Madewell first because everything is 20% off right now and I was very intrigued by the Mid-Rise Stovepipe jeans, which I'm wearing above. I liked them (size down btw) but they're cropped and the hem hits me at a weird place. I'm also wearing the Lightspun Renwood Button-Back Top in a very pretty pale purple that drained all the color from my skin. (Spring colorways are not my friend.) Super cute, but not for me. 

I asked if there were any other mid-rise jeans available and the sales assistant gave me a pair of the The Mid-Rise Perfect Vintage Jean in Enmore Wash which is a great light wash for spring (go with your normal size.) I liked them so much I forgot to take a photo but I actually bought them so they'll make a blog appearance soon. Then I went to Evereve and they love-bombed me with a million things to try on and it was overwhelming:

Eep, I know. But don't worry, you don't get to see most of it because, as previously noted, I'm the worst. For instance, that grey Varley tunic in the middle? I tried it on and didn't take a photo. It's on sale and very tempting but the fit was too much on me. (However: my white Varley Cleon top is now $34! Go! It's great! Size down!) I also tried on some black Vuori pants that I found underwhelming, so don't worry about those either. 

I really loved these Kut from the Kloth Mom Jeans but I'd literally just bought a pair of jeans (see above) so I wasn't as tempted as I might have been. They're good though, right? The brown Korke-Ease clogs were brought to me to try on with the jeans and they're super cute, if not quite my style. I want a pair, but maybe in black instead. These are also good!  

I also I tried on these Paige wide-leg cropped jeans (Marianne declared them "advanced") which were a size too big but I was kind of into them anyway. The Rails blouse I'm wearing with them had a great print but that high neck is just not for me. Here is a detail shot of the jeans:

Fun, right? They could be interesting. Ugh. I also tried on the Paige Wide Leg Carly pants and wasn't into them:

The black tank dress hanging behind me is Varley, I think? I can't find it online. It was unremarkable. Here I'm wearing the Paige jeans again with the pale gray version of my favorite Vuori top (which I wanted but did not buy) and I want you to take note of the green jacket hanging behind me:

It's the Vuori Military jacket and it's fantastic, so of course I forgot to take a photo of me wearing it. I totally bought it though, so you'll see it soon on the blog. It's really good - aside from being cute as hell, it has lots of pockets, is water-resistant and has hood that stows in the collar. 

So, really what I needed from this trip (other than photos for the blog) was a few cute tops or a good dress for spring but what I bought instead is a pair of jeans and a jacket. The heart wants what it wants I guess.
