J Crew: Tipped Wool Jackie Cardigan, Tipped Wool Jackie Shell

I have a quick review of the Tipped Jackie for you this morning.

~ Tipped Lightweight Wool Jackie Cardigan, Graphite Navy Snow, Medium ~

I liked this Tipped Jackie. Even in the brighter Persimmon color. I don’t know about the Shell though, as you see in a bit below. The Medium fit fine though the Jackie’s seem to be getting smaller and smaller each year. Is it just me? Probably my “winter coat”. If I didn’t already have the Fine-Striped Merino Cardigan, this probably would have come home with me. It’s a good layering piece with some visual interest.

~ Tipped Lightweight Wool Jackie Shell, Graphite Navy Snow, Medium ~

I put this shell on and immediately knew I would need a Large. It’s very ill-fitting on me. It’s snug everywhere and the length, though it looks fine, is short. Any movement resulted in the shell riding up past the top of my jeans. The material is pretty thin as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Persimmon color was a little see-through. I’ll spare you the side view ’cause it ain’t purdy.

I’ll be back later with a review on the Tweed Mini Skirt and Perfect Shirt in Onyx Dot.
