Apologies for the late post. I pushed a WordPress update last night, and it shook up some things on the backend. But it should be all fixed now.
I decided to add a new feature to the morning post, a post talking about the brands of clothing, shoes, and accessories that I think knock it out of the park. These are the brands that I search through when I need to fill a hole in my wardrobe or when I’m looking for something to wear to a specific event. And the first brand up is the The Outnet’s in-house line, Iris & Ink.
Iris & Ink bridges the gap for those of us who want work appropriate clothing that also has modern styling and fashion-forward details. The prices are typically mid-tier, with most items costing under-$175. The Outnet also offers free shipping and free returns, and if this is your first time shopping the site, you can take 15% off with code FIRST15.
The Outnet’s only failing is the sizing. Most items run only to a UK14, which is a US 12. I’ve spoken to the brand’s PR team in the past about their willingness to expand the size range, and I hope they make strides to be more inclusive in the future.
Here are some of my favorite pieces that they currently have on offer.
Cream Aspen Wrap Blouse ($110)
Black Madison Belted Crepe Blazer ($185)
Toka 18k Gold Hammered Pendant Necklace ($70)
Ivory Meadow Print Blouse ($120)
Ocotillo Belted Wrap Dress ($170)

Hey, just for reference – a UK size 14 equates to a US 10. I love this brand but it’s too tricky for me re: sizing!
I love the style of Iris & Ink but I’ve been disappoitned with the quality and the fabric in the past. While a lot of their items are fantastic (some great wool & silk pieces) I generally can find a natural fiber option for the same price as their polyester pieces. Polyester + east coast summer humidity has not been kind to me in the past. But I agree, Iris & Ink has some really fantastic pieces!!
the styles look great and i def would be interested in them… but you are right the size range is very disappointing. ending at a US 10 does not reflect modern consumers in any way. i hope they listen to the feedback and reconsider pronto.
I bought a structured bag, big enough for a laptop from Iris & Ink a couple of years ago that became my daily work bag. It is a pink/grey/mouse colour and is showing no signs of wear at all. Fabulous style and quality.
