Newly arrived in the mail today are these funky Leather & Lace Violet Fingerless Gloves from Victoria's Secret. Normally I'm not a huge fan of VS clothes other than their really fun selection of everyday cotton panties but since winning a couple of VS Secret Santa gift cards I had to purchase an item before the card expired. Nothing really screamed at me from VS collection this year, last years picking were more interesting, even the make up collection was a little ho hum blah this year. Luckily I came across these cute gloves from the accessory link and had to have them. Being a fan of collecting purple things (objects & clothing in my room can attest to this) and seeing nothing else in site from VS that interest me I got them. I was doubly lucky because they were marked down from $69 to $39 plus free shipping was offered at the time and then the addition of my gift card made it a reasonable bargain buy. One minor snag, I had to exchange them because the sizing was waaay off to the left as usually with VS. One day they make things too small the next too big, they need to fix this annoying issue. Anyway I initially purchased small because in gloves I wear 7 and knowing VS makes things super big I wanted a nice fit. Small didn't get past my fingers! Did they make these for a Barbie Doll? Anyway had to re-order a large which fits nice and snug but just right. The size large label on this is made for size 7 gloves if you need a reference in the future. I was lucky they had the last large left because all they have now is a size medium in very limited quantity. The gloves themselves are really nice leather, really thin fine leather almost paper thin with lace trim details at the fingers. The label says Made in Italy so at least I know they quality is good. All in all I'm happy with my bargain buy loot, the savings were good and it's something different to have on as an accessory. The practicability aspect is more appealing than wearing normal full finger gloves because you have freedom of movement when you need to open your purse and stuff like while still keeping your hands warm. If you have super duper tiny hands or wear like a size 5 in gloves you might want to grab the last few they have in stock. Stay beautiful! XOXO
