Sheila Moon boleros?

[annisk2000]

I've been looking at the boleros at Terry and I'm glad to see the SM's here in great colors. Loving the plum and teal. I'm getting ready to upgrade my bike wardrobe and I also need better shoes. I don't want to cheap out like I did last year, but would rather put my money where I will get the most for my money. I just started riding last spring and am now hooked. does anyone have any suggestions regarding shorts, jerseys, and shoes? I would also like a new helmet. The hot weather in the south is murder. I never knew I could sweat this much

On the Sheila Moon website, the picture of the model in the pink bolera has on a different style jersey than the sleeveless jersey sold below. Does anyone know what jersey that is? I like the cut of it much better and the lower scoop neckline.

Also, how garish are the prints in person? I really like the look of them online, but sometimes you just can't tell.

Thanks again.

Annisk,
You really should look through many of the older threads discussing shorts, shoes, helmets, shirts/jerseys, etc. There's a lOT of info and many recommendations in those threads that have been already discussed at great length. It's a wealth of info waiting for you to explore!

Yea! Time to drop some serious hints to DH.

The one with the lower neckline is one of her shimmels. We have them coming in some prints but not all. The shimmels are a closer body fit than the jerseys.

I don't think any of them are garish. The boldest is the pucci print. The black/orange is very striking, but maybe it's not for everyone. The plum/paisley is definitely the most elegant combo (and my personal favorite ). The pink fleur is bright but not loud. The blue fleur is a touch old-fashioned, but very pretty.

Susan, do the shimmels have any rear pockets? I can't really tell from the pic on Sheila's site. Maybe one in the middle? Or none? - which would be really disappointing (not to mention not very functional). I like the tighter fit in the sleeveless tops. Thanks.

Yup, 2 back pockets. We have them coming in blue fleur & paisly plum. We have mesh shimmels (one back pocket) coming in pink fleur & pucci.

Hope that helps!

Do you know if they changed the blue fleur pattern? I saw it in an Ad as a bolero and it was the same print as the pink, just with a color change and it was in the mesh fabric. The print that they are showing now with the same name is more subdued with smaller flowers. I'd love to get the bolero that I saw in the Ad, but I don't really like the one shown on the jerseys, etc. Ok, so I'm a dork, and probably worrying about all of the wrong stuff regarding riding, but hey, isn't that part of the fun about being a girl? My BF says that I'm a marketers dream. Just put "woman specific" on it and I'm hooked

I ordered the blue links tank from shebeest and the light blue bolero from SM. I'm hoping that they go together.

Yes, the blue fleur was changed. It initially was a blue version of the pink fleur.

I just recieved my TE order and want to give it the thumbs up to anyone considering it. The sleeves are nice and long so they don't ride up around your wrists and it's cut well around the shoulder so it sits without cutting when you're riding. It packed up nicely when I didnt need it anymore. I got the light blue to go with the Shebeest rings tank jersey. Very nice. Personally, I like to wear a sleeveless jersey under something else because I always overheat even though I'm freezing my fanny off when I start out. I may be needing another one in another color. Hmmm...
