This is my 5^th RTC shipment, and my first blog! This last shipment was nowhere near as large as some of my past orders, but it was definitely quality over quantity. I actually liked every item and loved most of them.

Cullen Cashmere Elbow Sleeve, Grey, XS

This sweater came up several times before I finally caved in and bought it and I’m SO glad I did! I already know this is going to look great with skinnies and uggs in the winter, and it’s very comfortable. Even though the tag says it’s 100% cashmere, it feels like a cashmere-wool blend, but it’s still incredibly soft. It is also extremely warm, perfect for the fall and winter. I also think this would look great with a belt around the waist. I’m tempted to go back and buy the orange so I can wear it to football games later this fall (I go to UT, and our colors are burnt orange and white). Overall, favorite piece of this shipment, and actually it’s my favorite buy from RTC ever!

Triple 5 Soul Ribbon Top, Eggplant, XS

This top is really cute, and perfect for going out for a dinner date or shopping trip. It’s a little dressy but completely comfortable, making it a great option. I’m also in love with the eggplant color, I definitely don’t have enough of it in my closet! One thing about this top that I thought was a little weird are the arms bands. (they are pretty tight, and my arms aren’t that big). I feel like the bands are sort of disproportionately tight, considering how loose and flowy the top is. It fits fine, but if you have muscular arms, it may be a little constricting. I wore this top recently and the ribbon actually detached so one side was scrunched and the other was loose and odd looking. I threaded the ribbon back through and sewed the base for reinforcement. It was a little embarrassing at the time, so I’d recommend reinforcing the top before you wear it out!

88 Orange Catalina ¾-sleeve Henley, Slate, Size 1

I already have a ton of 88 orange stuff, and they’re great basics, so I figured I might as well grab another top. Plus, I needed to stop my cart from shipping . Fits great, goes with everything. Go 88 orange!

Aude Jay Henley, Powder Blue, Size 1

If the Cullen sweater was my favorite winter top, this is a very close second.  This top is much thicker than I thought it would be, which is a good thing! The color is beautiful and the sweater  is so, so comfortable. I am definitely getting about 5 more.  I may even sleep in them during the winter!

Hope you enjoyed the reviews and stay tuned for part 2 of my awesome shipment! (pics included)
