I didn’t try on the beaded tees just because those were at the end and I was ready to get out of the dressing room but I did want to show IRLs in case there was a slight color difference than the online pics.

Flower Beaded Tee – Not online
Poppy Art Tee
Foxy Art Tee

Drapey Sequin Tank – There is no lining in this tank so you feel the stitching from the sequins. I do like the Olive color and the Small fit fine. The Medium was just a bit too baggy and loose for me. It looked great with the Silk Bubble Mini and with jeans. This comes in Dark Pewter, White Ash, Olive Moss, Black and Warm Taupe. If these make it to sale I’ll probably grab another color.

Lisette Lace Shell – I used the black to try on with most of the skirts and with my jeans. This is very cute under a cardigan or sweater. It comes in Black, Heirloom Pink (both pictured), Navy and Olive Moss. Had the Olive Moss been in the store I would have been all over it and probably taken it over the Drapey Sequin Tank.

Vintage Cotton Traversa-Stripe Tank – The Small fit good, maybe a little snug in the chest and the Medium was loose (navy). I don’t need any patterned tanks as I prefer solid colors to go under cardis and shirts. This comes in White Ash Caramel (which looked Olive to me) and White Ash Navy.

Lace Tee – OMG! I know this is sheer but I love this tee. I was sold when I tried it on with my jeans. I took a Small which was a perfect fit. I’m didn’t try it on but the XS might have been a good fit too. I would at least size down if you are wanting this. It’s very loose fitting.

So that’s it. I hope this helps you if you are looking to buy any of these.

And it looks like if I want any more J Crew Cashmere I’ll have to order it online. They took all of it out of my store and an SA told me they were not selling any cashmere in Texas anymore. Really J Crew? I’m sure it has to do with it not selling but maybe rolling it out in late August when we are still in tees and shorts (at least Central and South Texas) and not even thinking about sweaters, let alone cashmere, isn’t a good marketing strategy. I know stores (not just J Crew) want to get a jump on the seasonal fashion but they really should know their markets. Sweaters, long-sleeves and jackets in August are just not appealing to those of use who won’t be using it until November/December/January. By then, we’ll just get it on sale. Hmmm…on second thought, I’ll take a sale price over full price any time of year.

Have a great day!
