It's such an odd place to put the jewels. Around the underarm? They're desperate. I agree the boxy cuts are awful. And they are pausing for long periods of time on the sale rack.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978354137565535071.post-84699876095046547792012-12-06T15:54:55.656-05:002012-12-06T15:54:55.656-05:00Thanks, fshnonmymind!

The quality was good, all of the beads were sewn on tightly and they look really pretty. Is it worth the full price of $148? I don't think so. After seeing it in person I wouldn't pay full price, even if the fit was better.<br /><br />If I saw that Fox Bangle at Target, I'd price it at $29.99 and not a penny more. SO overpriced.Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430359756472736482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978354137565535071.post-1607673090077822012012-12-06T11:31:31.073-05:002012-12-06T11:31:31.073-05:00I saw that jeweled sweatshirt in the store the oth...I saw that jeweled sweatshirt in the store the other day and was instantly intrigued, but I didn't even bother trying it on because I looked at the jewels and thought they weren't going to stay on if I bought it. That boxy silhoutte wouldn't have done anything for me anyway. Too bad!<br /><br />OMG, I coveted that Tory Burch fox bracelet but didn't like the price tag. How disappointing that it was not made so well. :(<br />I'm glad you were able to find some other piece of jewelry to love.fshnonmymindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04188338589104627907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978354137565535071.post-81885629381097181252012-12-05T11:23:58.838-05:002012-12-05T11:23:58.838-05:00Thanks, xoxo!

I'm sure that all of the boxiness has something to do with maximizing profit and productivity, etc., which is fine for business, but women generally don't want to buy clothing that makes them look thick and dumpy. They'll stop buying the clothes, and that's bad for business, haha. Or maybe Gayle decided that "BOXY SHIRTS ARE SEXY LIKE BARE ANKLES IN WINTER!" In which case, shut up, Gayle.Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430359756472736482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978354137565535071.post-91800084081477806222012-12-05T10:49:09.357-05:002012-12-05T10:49:09.357-05:00What is with the boxy silhouettes lately?

I love those old jaspe sweatshirts too, although one of mine developed holes in the elbow pretty quickly but the other has held up really well. <br /><br />I bet the bow necklace looked amazing peeking out from the collar of your shirt. It sits very nicely on your neck with just the right amount of sparkle and shine.xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978354137565535071.post-40255867380952244842012-12-05T09:32:41.358-05:002012-12-05T09:32:41.358-05:00YES!

I have the same one and it is fantastic. The longer cut is so flattering. I am so sick of these boxy cuts that do my figure no favors, not to mention the totally deceiving website images.

I only kept it because I used a bunch of Nordstrom notes to buy it. The bow necklace is stunning!
