J Crew: Cinched Tank Top, Linen Lace-Trim Short

Purging, cleaning and re-decorating have kept the blog on the back burner for a little while. We are now tackling my office and will then move on to The Boy’s room. After that, I hope we are done and can start enjoying our new-to-us spaces. I still have a few things to review from the latest roll-out along with some lovely Boden, Madewell and Factory purchases in the next few days!
~ Cinched Tank Top, White, Small ~
This reminded me of the reverse of the Stripe Silk-Back Linen Tank from last Summer. The cinching on that one is in the back, while in the front on this one. I need to size up to a Medium in this one. The arms and chest were fine but the cinched part of the waist came up really high. I had to fiddle with it so that it wouldn’t give me a prego-belly. I really liked the Heather Steel Indigo in person. 

~ Linen Lace-Trim Short, Black, size 8 ~
I grabbed these to try on for the blog only but ended up really really liking them. They have enough visual interest to really dress them up with a nice blouse and pretty sandals or heels. The size 8 was the best fit and my normal shorts/pants size. I have the Structured Cotton Shorts in Black and Ivory from two years ago so I would look at getting the White in these. I have a bright yellow skirt already so the same color in the shorts are not an option. 
  
There’s a new promo of 30% off with SPRINGSTYLE. The Linen Lace-Trim Shorts are not a part of the promo but the Cinched Tank Top is.
At a glance, this is a promo I won’t be shopping. I bought a few items from the latest Factory roll-out and am still trying to get rid of a good number of items from my closet so I’m sort of in a holding pattern with purchases right now. 

Have a Great Afternoon!
