J.E.M. Apparel dress - by Chic n Cheap Living

{Fashion Review}/In my Closet: J.E.M. Apparel (Sweet, modern apparel and accessories)

March 15, 2011

I’d like to introduce you to a new store, J.E.M. Apparel.   They just launched their spring collection today so hop on over and check it out!  I had to use the words sweet and modern to describe their selection because they have very feminine basics with fun details, like petals and ruffles (think cardigans with flattering fits and chiffon petal details, it reminds me of Ruche in a way).

I was sent the ruffle collar illusion dress for a review.

Ruffle Illusion Dress - J.E.M. Apparel

The package arrived within a few days and was sent in a lovely wrapped box (gotta love fast shipping).

I was pleasantly surprised by the easy fit and flattering cut of this dress – the ruffles and a-line skirt work for a variety of body types.  Yes, you can have a nice full meal and still look chic (ultimate combination right ladies!)  I had a positive experience from the store and would certainly shop there again.

My look and savings:
Ruffle collar illusion dress (gifted), Marc by Marc Jacobs bangle (giveaway prize), Cynthia Rowley ruched pumps (this brand makes pretty comfortable, affordable shoes-6pm.com <$50 sale), Tom Ford Mia sunglasses (Swirl.com purchase)

Get the look:
Ruffle collar illusion dress, J.E.M. Apparel, $70

Lace Garden bangle by Marc by Marc Jacobs, Zappo Couture, $68 (mine is sold out, but this colorful one is even cheaper at $68 and totally on trend for spring neons!)

 

Clarks Domino Pip, Zappos, $89.99 (My Cynthia Rowley shoes were sold out, but I gotta say, these Clarks Mary Janes are pretty cute and comfortable looking right?)

 

Tom Ford “Clemence” sunglasses, Madison Los Angeles, $340 – I am obsessed with Tom Ford sunglasses – so gorgeous and eternally chic (worth the price but it also goes on sale!)

 

Look out for a giveaway from J.E.M. Apparel when the blog birthday celebrations begin next week!
