Loved your roundup! The navy polo sweater reminds me of a similar style I picked up from Banana Republic last fall. Mine has bell sleeves but loved it was merino wool for the winters.
Thanks, Ofelia! I'm so tempted to get the navy polo because I keep picturing it styled with the brown Banana Republic pants I just got, and think it would work. So many good sweaters right now - I need to prioritze, ha!
I bought this cashmere top a few seasons ago https://shop.mango.com/fr/fr/p/femme/pulls-et-cardigans/pull/pull-over-crop-cachemire_57005809 and it’s been a true problem solver in my closet, great for fall, spring, chilly summer nights, with a coat or jacket when it gets colder. It’s my go to when the weather is a bit in between. The roomy cut makes it more confortable and less sweaty imo.
It's funny because I was looking at that exact top last year but was worried about how cropped it looked, and now I regret not getting it. It looks so similar to the one on Alison Toby, which I love.
For what it’s worth/ I bought and returned that JCrew brushed cashmere sweater! I found it too cropped, with strange proportions and just too fuzzy for my liking. But maybe that was just me!
You always have the good intel! I'm glad you shared this. My torso is pretty short so I usually don't have a problem with cropped lengths. But I was wondering about the fuzzy-ness of it. Did it shed? Also, was it itchy or soft?
I didn’t really have it long enough to see if it would shed, outright it did not, but it felt a touch too unruly for me. It was super soft for sure, definitely great cashmere. But in a weird way I don’t want cashmere to be fuzzy? I don’t know it was an odd sensation lol
Ooh, I want to hear all about it. I find there are so many good options, it's hard to choose. I've been leaning towards a brown suede one, but the Freja one is so cute.
I always buy short sleeve knits & polo sweaters they are just soo flattering. My BR knit pants arrived and I love them!!! Going to order the brown too!
I had ordered the regular length in the straight pant which is perfect, and I sized up from XS to a small since I didn’t want them super fitted…I want to wear for travel & work mtg’s. Tonight I ordered the flare in reg length size small so will see, but what’s so fun about these pants is I feel like I could wear the petite & the tall! If I wanted to wear heels with them and have a longer elongated look I’d definitely need the tall, and if I wanted crop the petite so they are great pant you can’t go wrong.

So many of your listed items are on my wishlist too! I have a brown purse saved on my list but it's pretty $pendy so I'm saving up.
