I visited both the Irvine and Newport stores today. I was hoping the Irvine store had some better patterns in the Unicorn Tears CRB but they didn't. Both stores are still unpacking boxes. They had a bunch of the latest stuff - the newest Swiftlys, all the Downtime Jacket colors, and Wren Stills. The Clarity Gray/Lilac Swiftly is so pretty. It's the one with the oatmeal colored body and pink sleeves - just gorgeous. The Irvine store had a few nice markdowns - the Willpower Pullovers were marked down to $79. They had one white Outward Bound jacket in size 10 for $118 that I was tempted to get. They also had a Static Sprinkler Blue Pacesetter Longsleeve in size 4 on markdown that some one must have ordered during the 15 minutes it showed up on the website and returned. Both stores had Dance Studio Crops in black. I tried them on but I already bought the Wren and I want to see how much I like them first before I commit to another pair.
When I tried on the Wren In Stride Jacket yesterday, I thought the green was too gray and not green enough but I wore my Coal Still pants to the store today so I could compare. The above photo is a comparison of Wren (left) and Coal (right). The Wren pants are obviously green and I really liked how they looked with the black top I was wearing. I'm a big fan of khaki green pants anyway so this wasn't a hard sell for me. I like Wren much better as a bottom for me rather than in the tops where it's against my skin. It just washes me out too much. I have a lot of orange tops so I'll have a lot to wear with the Wren. I just need a jacket that goes with the green pants. Hmmm....
