Zady alpaca sweater | $103
The Laundress stain solution | $15
Zady silk dress | $125
Just a little random-ness for your Tuesday:
Upon recommendation of a few of you I bought The Laundress stain solution last week to use on a few things with stains (haha!) and I swear, it is MAGIC. It worked well on my Black Crane top, on silk, a chocolate stain I got on my beloved WHITE JP tee…magic. The bottle seems like it will last quite a while also, although I think I’d like to purchase a fabric brush or something to work the solution into stains a little better, and not use my fingers.
I do also use The Laundress delicate wash, wool & cashmere shampoo, AND a while ago I bought the signature detergent in Le Labo Santal 33 scent with some credits from Garmentory (sold out there), and I am now addicted. I can’t afford to keep buying the Le Labo detergent, so I’m using it sparingly, but man…I love it. I love all the detergents. I think the delicates wash is absolutely worth it for silks and underthings, a little goes a long way, and I feel better using it than “regular” detergent. And no dry cleaning.
Speaking of silk, and dry cleaning, Zady is offering an extra 20% off their sale items until Labor Day with code CHECKEDOUT and I’m thinking of finally ordering their silk shirtdress. I love that it’s made from “peace” silk, which means that the silk worms weren’t harmed and it’s made without the use of pesticides.
I also highly recommend the alpaca sweater, which is on sale now for $103. I didn’t love the style at first, I thought it could have been a little more modern, but I wore it a TON last winter and into spring; it’s warmer than it looks, and softens up really nicely. I also love the linen sweater, which is on sale for $89 with the code, and this cotton pullover.
Do you have any of the Zady pieces? anyone have the silk dress?? What do you think?
Love the look of the zady sweater, but I’m unsure of sizing. I’m 5’2, with a 35 inch bust and 28 inch waist — what do you think, based on yours? Small or medium? Thank you!
Small!! It stretches a lot. I’m 5’2″ with a 28 inch waist and 35 bust…I wear small.
Wait…which sweater?? In the linen I have small and the alpaca I have medium 🙂
Alpaca! I’m small, but have relatively broad shoulders, so that’s my concerns ( so I take an M in Everlane vneck for that reason, though I take a 4 in their pants). Thank you for your quick answer! I’m tempted by the zady tees also…
I have the zady linen and old organic cotton tee and they’re soft, but not my favorite styles honestly. I’d like to try the v-neck though in a small.
I’d do a medium in the alpaca. It fits well and a bit loose but not oversized.
