Metallic Boucle Tweed jacket (228398) - $129. Not exciting on. Wouldn't say it looked cheap, but it didn't look the opposite either.
IRL - color wasn't exciting. Might have been better in black. Only comes in olive.
Boatneck zebra print sweater dress (226212) - $79. This is a real bargain. It felt good to the touch and felt comfortable on the body.
IRL - I might have pulled the trigger, except I have a similar brown print dress I have yet to wear. This is a size small.
Zebra print cardi - $59. Don't see this one online. I think this is a size S, but I can't recall.
Bow neck tee (226598) - $29.50. Very similar to J Crew's bow tie top. The ATL version has some spandex in it so it fits more like a t-shirt than a swingy top. It was comfortable.
Cable v sweater(224889), $49.50. Didn't try it on, but it was very soft to the touch.
Sparkle button cardi (225646) - $39.50. Sparkle buttons on the J Crew version are way better. Also, the colors offered aren't that exciting. Green, black and pink. The pink is really nice and similar to J Crew's berry.
Long Sleeve Ruffle Button Front Shirt (223750) - $46. An attempt to give the J Crew Victoria a run in the style department, but they are definitely 2 different blouses. From what I can remember, I prefer the J Crew version. I'm on waistlist for the black stripe. The nice detail about the ATL version is that it has darts below the bust so it fits close to the body from that point downward.
IRL
With the ATL ruffle trim cardi (227037, $49.50) - The ruffle on the cardigan weren't big enough to make any sort of statement. And don't ask me why ATL has such bright colors for fall. Some of them just don't make sense when you see them in the store.

Gigi ~ you must be reading my mind! I was at ATL on sat. & tried on almost these exact pieces, lol. I totally agree about the green boucle jacket, I tried it on, and thought, blah, why not in black, or ivory? But, I am loving the animal print cardi (waiting for sale, bec. seem slike they have sale or coupon every few days),and the velvet marisa pants. I like ATL for their loose flowy dresses mainly, and they are pretty cheap. Thanks for these reviews.
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi. I love your reviews from ATL. It's so helpful to me to read these before I purchase via the web. I have been looking for a review on the J Crew cashmere heirloom henley. I think I am in love with it! But it's alot of money! Have you ever tried it on? Thanks in advance for your help! Terri
ReplyDeletecaliglam - How funny! I didn't check out their pants at all because they tend to not fit me well. The velvet Marisa pants soudn very interesting. I agree that their dresses tend to catch my eyes in the windows, but I haven't purchased any yet.
ReplyDeleteterri s - Thanks! I haven't seen the J Crew cashmere heirloom henley just yet. If I see it, I will try it on for you and post. :-) I usually visit b&m at least once/week. I also think that sweater is very pretty.
