REVIEW: Metrostyle BLK Front Sweater

When I was approached by Metrostyle.com a few weeks ago about doing a product review, I became so excited about the opportunity. Anyone who personally knows me can tell you how much of a shopping fanatic I am, and how my biggest weakness is shoes & handbags. Why? Because no matter how much weight you gain or lose shoes and handbags always seem to fit. :)

Anyways, for my review item I chose the Front Zippered Down Grey Sweater to the left in black. It comes in three different colors: Grey, Garnet (reddish color), and of course my personal choice black. It's currently listed for the price of $34.99. I really liked the jacket because it was a nice, simple jacket that could be worn with a pair of black pants or blue jeans, and if accessorized correctly could really complete a nice outfit for going out.

I actually ended up using the sweater the same day it arrived via Fed-Ex, while at the movie theatre watching Julia Roberts latest film, "Eat, Pray, Love". Yes, I know it's still warm outside. But most movie theatres in my area seem to enjoy blasting the air conditioner on "high" even though businesses now a days are supposed to be budgeting and cutting back. Needless to say it was a very nice addition to the dark blue Capri's jeans I had on with a dark purple shirt underneath. It was late when we left the theatre, and to be honest I didn't even think about having my friend take a quick picture of me, but as the weather starts to cool, I'm sure I'll be using it more often.

While exploring the Metrostyle.com website, I found a few other really nice items I'll probably end up buying, and thought it be nice to share them with all of you below:



I've been hitting the gym a lot lately, and taking up jogging trying to get myself camera ready for when we begin taping the first season of my single parent reality show. So when I saw this blue, striped jogging outfit, I just had to add it to my favorites list. There's just something about wearing a matching workout outfit that really amps you up during your workout regimen. The great news is that it's now on sale for $24.99-$39.99. A great deal in my book!







I fell in love the moment I saw these Madden Girl Booties by Steve Madden. If these were one of the options made available to me for review they would have been my first choice hands down! I really love how the heal is only 2 1/2 inches high giving me a nice break from the 4-6 inch heals I'm used to wearing. This will definitely be an item I plan on purchasing, but am still deciding whether to buy the black or brown ones. They are currently listed for $59.99 and they have both whole and half sizes in stock.
