Product Review: City Chic Super Longline Cape Cardi

City Chic releases new items every week; in-store on Thursdays and online on Fridays. As soon as I saw the Super Longline Cape Cardi online this Friday, I called a few of the stores to ask them to keep my sze on hold. Only because I knew it would be a great hit and because last Thursday and Friday City Chic had awesome discounts both online and in-store.

Anyhow, the lovely Courtney at the Highpoint store kept one on hold for me. I was soooo excited because such maxi cardis are must haves for every wardrobe! It is a very flattering item for plus size women, while it is a need for hijabi Muslims who do not wear the abayah/coats, but still prefer something long over their garments. I am always on the look out for such cardis. I have found some online a couple weeks ago (that's another post topic), but I was over the moon to find one closer to home!

So I purchased my CC cardi on Friday, and I have been wearing it every day as of Saturday. :))) I practically live in it. It looks gorgeous on a slimline dress (maxi or not) and add a slim belt in a contrasting colour for the finishing touch. It also looks delightful on slimline pants/jeans, but looks just as good over wide legged trousers/jeans too! What I am trying to say is, it is very versatile. I have been achieving a different look every day with the same cardi! I love it! I love it! I love it!

The only downside for some of you would be that the sizes range from 14-24. Oh and another downfall: It has sold out online in every size.Since it was so popular, I'm almost sure they will and SHOULD have it back in stock. :) In more colours too please!!!

Just to give you an idea, I am wearing the XS (14).

My readers from the US can now also order online from City Chic. City Chic launched in the US a few weeks ago and the prices are a lot cheaper than what we pay here! Take a looksie I say. :)

My outfit of the day with the CC Super Longline Cape Cardi:

The only thing I can criticise about the cardigan would be the placement of the side pockets. They are placed at the side seams and just at hip level. Now my hips are now too wide compared to the rest of my body, but the pockets seem to make them look bigger... BUT I don't care, I'm having a love affair with it. :))))

What do you think? More colours yeah? :)))) It is certainly a keeper! :)
