Edited… Hey Y’all! I wanted to answer a few questions I have been getting about the sizing in this post. I gave you all the sizes I was wearing and if I felt like I would stay at that size, size up or size down. The first thing you need to know is I am wearing the sample sizes that CaBI provides so I may not always have a piece available in my true size (M/10). To make sure you are getting the entire picture I tell you what size I am wearing in case it looks big or small to you. Most of the clothes were available in my regular size with the exception of the camel and black sweater, black bell sleeved shirt and casual griege sweater.
If I were ordering these for my closet I would have ordered a medium in the camel and black stripe. Small in the greige sweater because of the blousy fit and I just wanted it a little more form fitting. The black bell sleeve I would also do in a medium so I would have a little more room in the shoulder.
As always if you ever have a question about a post I do please email me and let me know. I appreciate the feedback and want to make sure that I am giving you all of the information I have to make your shopping experience as easy as possible. XO, Tippy

The last few months I have been working with Sharon Bilbe, CaBI stylist, on exposing my followers to their So London fall line. I feel like CaBI is truly this little hidden gem of a clothing line and I want to show you anything and everything that I think you are missing. That’s my job after all, to do the research for you so all you have to do is the shopping.
CaBI’s collections are built in a capsule mentality so that you can mix and match all the pieces each season. However they take it one step further and make the lines to coordinate season to season too. So the tank you bought last spring is going to work with the jacket and jeans you are buying this fall. Its kind of genius if you ask me. You are definitely going to get more bang for your buck and more options to coordinate your pieces.
CaBI’s clothing is also amazing quality for the price point. When I talk to avid CaBI shoppers they all talk about how the jacket or pants they bought 5 years ago still fit and still look great. You will be very hard pressed to find another clothing line that holds up as well as their clothing does other than designer labels.
The greatest thing about this line is it is designed to work for all ages and all sizes. You are probably thinking how does that even work and I can’t tell you how but I can say it just does! I have seen the same suit on a 20 year old and a 50 year old. I have seen the same jeans work by a 30 year old and a 90 year old. They are extremely good about how they style their clothing and how they pair the pieces and because of this it will literally work for anyone and everyone.
So this week I went by Sharon’s closet because she had just received some new pieces for the fall collection. I mixed and matched and made four outfits that I feel like you can’t and shouldn’t live without.

Cold Days, Hot Nights… This sweater is only available for a very limited time. I was immediately drawn to it because of the different sized stripes on the sleeves and the bodice. These pants are also a favorite of mine from the collection and I have paired them with a lot if different tops. This sweater is thick and substantial while remaining form fitting. The way the knit is constructed it will hold it’s shape and not get baggy as the day wears on. The sample I am wearing is an XL and I would definitely size down if I was ordering it. I would say both pieces run true to size.
Farmers Market Casual… This top and jeans are the perfect fall, casual combination. The shirt is great for a front tuck in a pant or to be worn as a tunic with leggings. The jeans fit great in the waist and hips but were a little bigger in my calf than I like for a typical skinny jean. Nothing that a little tailoring couldn’t fix. Also, this belt was great with the jeans and sturdy enough to wear with a pant but could also be paired with a dress. I am wearing a XS in the top so I would suggest sizing down. Belt is a medium and jeans are a 10 and both run true to size.
Holiday Glam… Y’all! This outfit. I need a praise hands emoji on my blog like STAT! This top is actually longer in person and looks more like a short tunic length. I cuffed the bottom to make it a little shorter and accentuate my waist. I also wore the skirt as a mini but it could be pulled down further on your waist and would hit right at the knee. When I tell you that you need this outfit for Christmas parties and Christmas Eve and so on you need it! The top is size small and skirt is medium. Both run true to size.
I also want to talk about the shoes for a moment. They are a triple color combo which means they will work with any of the pieces in the CaBI collection. They have both purple, black and a little stripe of navy so essentially they would pair with anything and everything.
Mixing Pattern Fun… This outfit was a complete accident but it totally worked! I pulled the skirt and the top and was like I am just going to shoot this even if I don’t like it because I think it’s funky and fun. When I put it on I was like well ok and then I did the little front tuck and I was sold. Like I almost stuck this one in my closet and didn’t return it to Sharon. Top and skirt are mediums and both fit true to size.
All of these pieces are currently available in the CaBI fall line. You can message me or Sharon to get more details on how to try it all on and order.
