Color Comparison: Clear Mint to Faded Zap

Stores seem to have just gotten their inventory of Clear Mint CRB’s after they’ve been online for at least a month now. Still waiting to see the solid Angel Blue and Bleached Coral CRB’s hit stores. Whats up with the inventory flow these days?

When I saw this CRB yesterday I was really drawn to it but left it behind. Then it hit me that this color was just like the faded zap CRB which I really wanted. It came out last spring but was disappointed to find it  was a sheer polyester mess of a CRB covered in white dots so I never ended up getting one, and looking out for an original release solid faded zap CRB. I brought this Clear Mint home as a ‘maybe’ but when I paired it next to my Faded Zap Energy Bra I knew I needed to keep it. Its soft, all nylon/lycra and completely opaque. Love pairing it with Surge.

Post Practice Cardi in Three Different Sizes; 10, 8 and 6

I thought it might be helpful to give you three different sizes of the Post Practice Cardi, my TTS 10, sized down to an 8, and then sized down again to a 6. Surprisingly, the size 6 was still roomy in the arms over my Open Your Heart LS, and still butt covering and not overly clingy over my hips. I felt that as I adjusted the sweater on me the knit was relaxing quite a bit. I’m thinking that I’d like this sweater in white in a size 6.

New! Fit Review: Post Practice Cardi

by Cristina
written by Cristina

I decided to swing by my store today in off chance of seeing something new like the Zing Pink Power Y, but instead I saw this awesome new cardigan called the Post Practice Cardi. It comes in Black, and Orange (not sure which orange it was) and its priced at $138. I find the price steep considering the material of the cardigan is cotton and not the usual boolux cashmere blend. None the less, I loved the styling of it, loved how lightweight and airy it was and I came home with the black in a size down.  It just felt really stylish on and when I saw it on the educator wearing it really looked great on her. The fit is really loose and relaxed, but even sizing down you still get the butt covering length and the slouchy look and I just felt like the proportions of the size down was better for me. Size 8 comfortably fits over my Open Your Heart LS, even in the upper arms and armpits. 

The closure is sort of like a double breasted suite with an overlapping lapel and an inner button to secure the inside lapel lays flat, but when you wear it open it doesn’t at all look like an asymmetric jacket.

I really wavered between the orange and the black. The orange looked so great on but I worried about what I could wear underneath it since I prefer the look of this cardigan left open. Orange looked pretty with Clear Mint CRB, probably white, off whites, and other neutral subdued colors. Its really more of a peachy soft orange that reminds me of Persimmon from 2010. Black will have way more use in my closet though so thats what I opted for for now. I’m wondering if we will see this in an off white color, or grey as well.
