Quince Washable Silk Cami | $39.90Materials: 90% Mulberry Silk Double Georgette / 10 % Spandex Size: XS Quince's washable silk camis were part of my first order from the brand. A camisole always seems to be such an essential in any wardrobe... a basic staple piece that everyone needs in their closet. Hence I snagged one in ivory and one in black. My review of Quince's Washable Silk Cami: The Quince camisoles are of nice quality and I appreciated that the ivory option is double layered so it's not so sheer. It's hard to find a light colored silk that isn't see-through. Another nice feature of the cami from Quince is that the straps are adjustable. The sliders are made of metal so they should last well over time. Adjustable straps really appeal to me as a petite person who prefers a modest neckline. The silk cami has a really nice drape so it looks classic worn on it's own or as a layering piece. What could be better? I wish the scoop of these camis was not so profound. In retrospect, I can see on the models that the scoop is pretty.. scoop-y? I was just hoping with the straps shortened that it would be a little bit higher up and closer fitting on me. For the most part, I don't find these camis to be helpful for wearing as a modesty piece under a V neck or wrap style dress/top because often where the plunge neckline falls on me is about the same spot the cami starts, so ... yeah. Remember every body is different. Check the customer photos to see if someone's body type is similarl to yours to get a better idea of fit! What I learned: This purchase helped me realize that I generally only wear a cami as a layering piece for modesty with a v neck or a wrap style top or dress. I'm not someone who really wears spaghetti straps even in the summer. I prefer a strap that is thick enough for a 'normal' bra strap to be covered because I rarely want to be bothered with a strapless bra. However, in the event that one did want to wear this cami alone as it does have a lovely drape, I would recommend these or these over bra straps hanging out or an uncomfortable strapless bra. Overall I think if you are a cami person you will love quince's silk camis. Right now you can get the quince washable silk cami in 6 colors. As for me, I thought I would be reaching for these camis more often than I do. They are still a piece I will keep in my wardrobe because there is a time and place for them in my personal style!

Quince Washable Silk Stretch Blouse | $59.90Materials: 90% Mulberry Silk Double Georgette / 10 % Spandex Size: XS The Quince Washable Silk Stretch Blouse is a piece I wear regularly. It is a shiny silk, unlike my everlane clean silk button up (review here) I think overall my personal preference is the more matte silk, but I still get a lot of wear out of this piece from Quince clothing. How I wear it? Most often I wear the Quince silk button up shirt with skirts, under a dress, or under a sweater or other long-sleeved top. I rarely wear it completely on it's own as it's a little bit sheer, so I prefer to use it is a layering piece. There's something about a collar peeking out that makes me feel so confident and put together! Are Quince's silk blouses worth it? I think so! I would consider adding another color (maybe magenta?) as there are 6 color options currently! As always check out the photos on the customer review photos to envision how it may fit on your body! And consider protecting your silk investment with Numi Sweatproof Undershirts!! Pro tip: Be careful what you wash with this top. This isn't specific to this silk blouse, but in general. One day I washed all my washable silks together without even thinking of the color. When I went to hang them to dry I realized that my ivory silk blouse is now more of a cool white with the slightest touch of blue. :-( If you didn't know how it looked originally, you may not notice it.

Quince Australian Merino Wool Open Cardigan Sweater | $39.90Materials: 100% extra fine Australian merino wool; 19.5 micron yarn Size: XS I love my Quince Australian Merino Wool Cardigan. I tend to run cold but also have a hard time regulating temperature so layers are my best friend. Easy layers. Layers I can take on and off near constantly. lol. For that reason I really like this merino wool cardigan. It's my first merino wool piece and when it arrived I remember my first thought was "this is so soft and feels luxurious!" Since I have worn it 3-5 times a week for the past year I can confirm that it is a great piece that holds up well. It's meant to be hand washed or dry cleaned, but I did throw it in the washer many times with no issue. YMMV. Just be sure not to put it in the dryer or it may shrink a bit and the feel may change a bit.... Not speaking from experience at all.. ;) I ordered this merino wool cardigan from quince when it first launched and it only came in Navy. Now you can grab it in other core colors like black, gray, and camel!

Quince Stretch Cotton Twill Girlfriend Chino Pants | $39.90Material: 97% cotton / 3% elastane When it comes to pants I currently wear these jeans or comfy-cute dressy sweatpants and dressy leggings from this brand. I thought it could be helpful to add another neutral pant so I opted to give Quince girlfriend chino pants a try in this olive green color. These are not my jam. I keep trying to wear them to see if my opinion changes, but I just don't feel comfortable in them. I don't like the way they fit my body. I don't like the style stripe down the side. (The original product image did not show the stripe and after ordering they added more photos. Although it was probably in the text description and I didn't notice) As an alternative I may try the Prana Halle pants sometime. They would be great to have on hand for hikes and other outdoorsy activities I think!

How to Style a Black Turtleneck Sweater
A black turtleneck sweater can be worn so many ways and is an excellent layering piece for winter, let alone a staple for many in a modest capsule wardrobe. In this petite style blog post I will share some of my favorite ways to style a black turtleneck sweater!

How to Care for Cashmere Sweaters
With any garment, you should always check the label and adhere to it for the best outcome and greatest longevity. Some say dry clean only. Others say hand wash. It's generally best to lay them flat to dry if you are washing at home.
Protect Your Sweaters With This Undershirt
Decreasing the need to launder sweaters definitely helps extend their lifespan. One way to do that is to wear a layer beneath them. I especially recommend these sweat proof undershirts. My initial review of them is here. They definitely make a huge difference, although they are a bit of an investment. Save a few bucks on them here.
Maintain Your Sweaters With These Tools
Over time it is natural for your sweaters to obtain "pills". Friction causes the fibers to bunch up into little balls that can be unsightly. But wait! Don't get rid of that sweater, it's still good!
āTry one of these tools (carefully!) to extend the life of your sweaters.

āBut then something happened. Let's call it ... winter. Let's call it dark, dreary, damp, cold days. I wanted to combat the external mood with some lighter denim - Mott and Bow's High Rise Skinny Beekman Jean in Light/Medium Blue. |

These cotton blue jeans are made of 95% cotton, 4% poly, 1% elastane. They are a heavier weight jean than the Bond and definitely have less give, but they look so, so good!

After your first wear you will settle right into these light blue jeans. I love the wash on these as it feels classic and timeless and adds a pair of lighter pants into my closet which is predominately black and dark blue. The ankle opening is quite narrow (as you'd expect for skinny jeans) so if that is a concern for you, but you want a lighter wash jean, you may want to try the Mott & Bow Jane Jean.

About Numi
In 2013 Founder Michelle was motivated to solve a problem she herself was facing - She was no longer wearing her favorite pieces of clothing because dry-cleaning was expensive and they were prone to noticeable sweat stains. Let's face it, we've all been there. After a successful crowdfunding campaign, Numi was born!
Numi's high performance sweat proof undershirts wick and absorb moisture and oder away from the body thus preventing stains. They've expanded into some beautiful silks that I hope to try!

Numi The Crop - XS Black & Almond $60 (Oct 2021)
Why I Was Interested In Trying The Crop by Numi
I followed Numi as a brand for a couple of years before finally ordering a couple of their performance sweat proof undershirts to try.
Shifting to more conscious clothing purchases recently means I have been slowly adding better quality pieces into my wardrobe. A lot of these pieces are beautiful natural/more sustainable fibers like cashmere, silk, organic cotton, tencel and modal to name a few.
Proper care of our garments can help them to last much longer. Most of our clothing items are being washed way more often than is actually necessary which causes breakdown of the fibers and shortens the lifespan of the garment considerably.
āThus, one reason to try Numi sweat proof undershirts was to extend the number of wears before needing to wash! Having a base layer prevents the garment from contacting your skin and absorbing sweat and other oils throughout the day. (And it's cozy in these cooler months!)

Throughout the day, I often notice visible sweat marks in the armpit region of my tops, no matter the weather. I do make and use my own natural deodorant which works great and honestly I feel that I sweat less than I used to when I used commercial ādeodorant/antiperspirantā. Still, sweat comes out and I am totally okay with that (it's natural and part of the body's design!), but it can be awkward if itās really noticeable.
āAnd of course, I donāt want to have my garments stained over time from this. So preventing those sweat marks, temporary and permanent, is another reason to try Numi technical undershirts for women.

Finally, the modesty aspect. I personally always feel more comfortable when I have a modest base layer on. This allows me to wear different necklines and silhouettes without feeling self conscious or needing to constantly adjust them. I always thought a cami was the perfect solution for this, and recently tried quince silk camis, but was a little disappointed that the neckline was lower than my preference for this purpose and the fit was also not ideal for it either. So Numi undershirts could be a perfect cami alternative for modesty!
TL;DR - I tried Numi because I was interested in preventing sweat marks and stains, minimizing the need for washing garments, thus extending their life, and as a modest layering piece.
Numi The Crop Review - Fit
I chose size XS and the fit is comfortably snug, as it should be. I think XS was the right choice for me. I'm always torn between XS and S, but since I didn't have to accommodate my hips (petite pear over here!) as this is a crop top, I felt safe with the XS.
Numi The Crop Review - Quality/Longevity Prognosis
The material blend, 90% Tencel, 10% Lycra, is thin (except at the armpits) on purpose, so that it can be as invisible as possible underneath your other garments. This being the case and having some experience with soft materials, I anticipate it pilling a bit from the friction of always being worn under a garment. Since I donāt plan to wear this as a shirt alone, this shouldnāt be a problem if it does indeed happen. It wonāt impact my primary ways of wearing the Numi Cropped Essential Undershirt - to prevent sweat stains and extend the life of my more precious garments. Finishing and stitching quality looked very nice upon arrival!
āNumi The Crop Review - Wear Testing
To wear test this "sweat proof undershirt" I decided to wear it under a few different layers of clothing.
Layer 1: Numi Undershirt
Layer 2: Quince Silk Button Up
Layer 3: Mott & Bow Cashmere (Review Here)
I started to get pretty warm in this combo and proceeded to clean the entire house and do laundry. By the end I was feeling very warm, if not overheated... And guess what? Success!! No moisture on my finer garments, even the Numi didnāt feel wet from the outside. Also no other deodorant marks etc.
Initial thoughts from wear testing:
Reverse neckline is too high and makes me feel frumpy.
Scoop neck is so low it cuts below my bra lines which makes for weird lines under clothing and doesnāt help replace a cami for modesty.
Sleeve lines could initially be seen on some thinner materials but seemed to roll out as the day went on and disappear. Could be avoided with the long sleeve edition possibly.
āTrying to pull fabric up at the shoulders to raise the scoop neckline caused weird bunching. I think with broader shoulders and a fuller chest you wouldnāt have any trouble, but I am petite and I think I must have narrow shoulders so it doesnāt work great for me and I hate the feeling of clothing falling off my shoulders.

āNumi The Crop Review - Functionality
The Numi sweat proof undershirt does the job for me. It keeps me feeling cozy, my armpits dry, and my other garments protected. Unfortunately as a modest layering piece, itās not as functional as I would have hoped *on my body*. :( I find the crew neck option to be too high and the scoop neck is extremely low on me.
āAdditionally, I know many wear this shirt on it's own, but I find the material too thin for that purpose, personally.

āNumi The Crop Review - Were my expectations met?
Kind of. I'm getting 2/3 of my wishes on this purpose, so that's pretty solid!!
There are a lot of days when I'm like, "man... I wish that Numi neckline fit me better because everything else about it is EXACTLY what I want to wear and need for this outfit today..." I can't be the only one feeling like this is almost perfect!

āNumi The Crop Review - Would I Rebuy? Any Suggestions for Improvement?
I would definitely consider rebuying if Numi adjusted the neckline or made an additional neckline option that wasnāt such a low scoop.
I would also consider getting the full length version (aka "The Signature"). I bought the crop thinking it would be more versatile year round for modesty/sweat resistant layering without the bulk of tucking in another layer. In reality itās making me a tad chilly in the winter because my chest feels snug and cozy with the extra layer, while my belly feels a bit breezy and exposed through the top clothing layer(s). In the warmer months I am guessing my use will be more limited than I initially expected because of the necklines being less than idea for me.
For most people who don't mind a scoop neck like this and aren't as petite and narrow up top as I am, I believe this top will work very well for them as is!

āNumi The Crop Review - Will I Keep it and actually wear it?
Yes. I will definitely be keeping the Numi performance undershirts and I will definitely get good use out of them and continue to formulate an ongoing opinion of them.
I hope this review has helped you decide if Numi's Essential Undershirt "The Crop" is right for you or not.

Numi The Mask - OS Black & Almond $15 (Oct 2021)
The Mask from Numi is made from upcycled fabric from their essential undershirts - Tencel/Spandex Blend. The masks are two layers and super soft, as you'd expect. Having a petite face, I have found that many face masks do not fit me well and gape open at the sides which is not ideal. The Numi face masks actually fit my face well! As with all masks I've tried so far that go behind the ear, the back of my ears do get sore after extended wear. But that's better than the alternative, for sure. :) Bundles of 3 masks come at a discoun, btw!
Other Numi Products I'd Like To Try
-
Numi The Mock Tencel Mockneck Sweatproof Undershirt
This would 100% be my go to base layer all winter long.
-
Numi The Simone Sustainable Silk Button Up
With my new-found love for button ups, this one looks so well designed. Love the way it falls and the buttons on the cuffs... The hardest part is which color? Go with a staple white, navy, black, or a fun limited pop of color?
