 I also just got a new larger size mannequin form so I am able to show off the larger sizes. This is Berk in Olive, kika size 5. I have Rachel in Black, size 5 under it but that is just what I have handy. You can put anything under this versatile sweatshirt.

Here is the back. I will just say that it looks MUCH better on an actual person!
Berk in Fuchsia - web site photo
I added the photo from the web site of the Fuchsia color since I don't have it on my sample rack. I am pretty sure this was a color that carried over from last season so this is the only item available in this color.

A friend of mine was getting rid of her mannequin form and sold it to me for a really good price. I decided to play around with it today. This one is staying on the mannequin!

 You can wear Jackie open like a jacket or closed as a tunic over leggings. It is also made from recycled water bottles!!

 The back details on this item are so cute along with the ties on the wrist too!
Jackie in Black, Drew in Eggplant
 I finally got Jackie in Black in my size! This is a kika size 4 and it is a bit roomy which I like. I can also comfortably snap it up in the front too. I think I could get away with wearing a kika size 3 but I like how the kika size 4 fits. I have very broad shoulders so I like it roomy. I am also wearing Drew in Eggplant and this is a basic must have piece. I am getting one in every color!
Jackie in Black
The back is super cute too! Love all the tie details and this fabric is so fun. Waffle texture and made from organic cotton and recycled water bottles!

Jackie in Turq (signature color) - $95
