frilly polka dots, and some crazy Crew sizing (sigh)

So here's today's outfit- since the winter weather broke today before resuming normal frosty temps tomorrow, I went for something lighter and fun.  I love this polka dot cardigan, and definitely don't wear it enough.  Here I'm wearing it with a frilly silk blouse I found in a lucky sale at UO this fall- I bought it in black as well and it's the perfect underlayer with a cardigan.  Throw in a Mimetic skirt and off you go to enjoy some spring weather (amidst 3 feet of snow).  I love the soft ivory colour of the silk with the grey and white dots!

On the other hand, I was so looking forward to receiving my J Crew order today.  I've been holding off on making many purchases this month, but when I saw the 20% off knits and free shipping last week I knew it was time to cave and get myself the striped button-back t-shirt for spring.  My autumn ochre fixation has mellowed to a pumpkin orange for spring, and this 'English saddle' colour looked perfect. I read some reviews (most helpfully chez Gigi of course) so confidently ordered the XXS knowing it would likely still be a loose fit.
***update- I thought I'd measured it as 17 inches lain flat, which is only slightly bigger than the listed measurement of 15 3/4 inches.  Turns out I suck at math and it's 19 inches across!!!  Writing to J Crew...***

Loose is right!  It fits me like a large medium!!  What a 'charming' cut!  I am seriously holding this out loosely here.  Well, a warning anyway-  I can't really return it, so into the dryer it goes and then a little visit to the sewing machine. 

(the rest of my order was the perfect fit striped boatneck in navy (perfect fit in XS), bright cinnamon Jackie (perfect fit in XXS) and a pink ruffled henley for 14.99 (the XXS is even a little snug!)
