The first top I got is one that I've been eyeing ever since it first came out! It's the Abstract tee. It is a fairly new item so it's still at full price. But the full price is $150 which is a lot lower than many other tops Vince offers. I really like the print!
It's a linen top, but not the kind of linen that wrinkles, if that makes sense. I got it in my normal Vince size, XS, and it is true to size. But since it's a stiffer material than cotton or cashmere, it feels just a little tighter on the arms. Not even to be uncomfortable by any means though.
This will be a great top to wear on those upcoming cooler summer evenings! Here are some close ups of the fabric and print:
There's quite a lot going on there, but for some reason the print seems peaceful to me. It kind of reminds me of a sail boat on the ocean!
The next top I got is the Variegated Stripe sweater in off white/coastal. I actually saw this one in store when I bought the Variegated Stripe Moulin tee (I guess there are lots of different Variegated itmes?) in New York, and I almost bought this sweater too at the time. Good thing I waited though, because it's on sale at Bloomingdale's from $245 to $183. Plus the private sale discount. This sweater is priced higher since it's a wool/cashmere blend. It's actually very lightweight though. Nordstrom has it on sale currently for $146. Vince's own website is also selling it for $146.
As usual, the XS seems to be the perfect loose fit that I love. I can also wear this to work.
The material feels so soft and nice. As soon as I put it on, I totally cut the tag off right away and didn't take it off all night.
The 3rd top I got is the Striped Boatneck tee in peony. This is actually the first Vince item I put on and didn't love! I was wondering when that was going to happen lol. I actually dislike both the fit and material. The size XS is WAY too big in this top. It looks like I'm swimming in it. The fabric is a mix of linen and metallic, which feels kind of scratchy on the skin. I'm not even that crazy about the color either. At $195, it is an easy pass.
Here you can see how huge it is:
It looks so frumpy, and the back is too long, making me look like I have no legs:
Not sure if you can see, but the stripes have silver metallic in them:
