A quick but fun little review today. I’ve had a few items sitting in my J.Crew shopping cart for a while. So when I got a chance to stop by one of the stores the other day, I figured it was my chance to finally try some of the items in my cart on. Here’s what I thought!
J.Crew Shopping Cart Reviews
J.Crew Long-sleeve ruffle-neck top in 365 crepe, Academic Green, XS
I loved how good this top looked on Heather. As soon as I saw it on her, I added it to my cart. Once I finally got to trying it on in the store, I loved the color and the material. (It’s much more green that this picture makes it look, damn the dressing room lighting!) But I’m always so iffy about the puffed shoulders and how big they make my shoulders look. And I couldn’t decide if I liked the ruffled neck in person or not. So in the store, I decided against the shirt. I didn’t think I would wear it enough. But now that I’m looking at the picture, I love how it looks…
Verdict: I’m going to need to think this over now.
J.Crew Pointelle crewneck sweater in stripe, Ivory Navy, XS
I can’t deny it, I love a good striped top. This one was just too cute on the website. When I tried it on in the stores it fit true to size and was still cute. But, it just wasn’t anything super special. That is to say, it wasn’t any more special than any of my other striped sweaters (of which I have a few). It might be great in someone else’s closet though!
Verdict: Pass
Drapey band-collar popover, Ivory, XS
I had high hopes for this top. But in the back of my head, I kind of knew that the v-neck was going to be too low. And lo and behold, it was. Other than that, the shirt was pretty cute. The material wasn’t see-through and it tucked pretty well. I’m kind of debating trying a smaller size to fix the V problem, but I don’t know.
Verdict: Pass, the V is too low for work. Maybe I’ll try a smaller size.
That’s all for now!
