Finishing up J.Crew’s new arrivals with some tops.
~ Lightweight Wool Jackie Cardigan Sweater in Bow Print, Small ~
I need a Medium but the bows are really cute. It has a matching shell. I love the gold buttons on the wool Jackie Cardigans.
~ Asymmetrical Striped Ruffle Top, Medium ~
I’m on the fence with this top. The medium fit ok. It felt a little tight where the arms holes meet the body of the shirt. The back was fairly difficult, for me, to zip up. I still think the medium is the right size for me. The ruffles bother me too but they also seem a little flattering. It’s cotton but hand-wash only. Way too much trouble for me.
~ Fringy Top in Tweed and Lace, Navy, Medium ~
I unexpectedly liked this top. I didn’t care for it when I saw it online and only tried it on to review. Once I had it on I found it fit really well and had a bit of shaped to it. I like the navy color over the black and ivory but those are great dressier tops for the Holiday.
~ Vintage Cotton Tee with Beaded Zebras, Medium ~
Just your standard crew tee in a soft cotton. Love the little zebras with the heart between them. This fits TTS in the Medium.
~ Edie Top in Stewart Plaid, size 6 ~
I don’t have a try-on image for this top. I wasn’t able to get this past my chest or my arms all the way through. The are where the ruffle is placed has no give. I don’t think a size 8 would fit me either. It just runs really small. This top is poly and would have been so much prettier in cotton, silk, something else. It feels cheap to me.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving – thank you for your posts. You always provide such honest reviews that help guide me in my JCrew and Anthro shopoholic tendencies – I so appreciate your reviews! Enjoy the holidays!
I agree, the Edie feels cheap, I was disappointed in the fabric choice. The fringe top and the stripe ruffle one look good on you!
Love your reviews, AB! I don’t always get a chance to try everything that I’d like to, nor do I even notice all of the newer items – hadn’t ever seen that cute zebra tee or that pretty tweed/lace shell!
Thanks for the info on the Edie. That one didn’t work on me, my broad shoulders made the pretty blouse look like I was sporting some sort of window dressing, not flattering on me. IKWYM about that ruffle-stripe blouse- it’s interesting, but it’s also maybe too much look?
Hope you enjoyed a great holiday with your family!
PS, different browser on my phone so I didn’t realize it didn’t have my info.
The stripe ruffle top looks amazing on you!!!!
