J Crew: Drapey Tee in Venice Beach, Drapey Tee in Beach Heart, Stripe-Sleeve Tee in Scoopneck, Paneled Sweatshirt in Navy Floral, Sparkle Cardigan, Sicilia Scarf

I went on a little bit of a T-Shirt binge recently, especially at J Crew.

The Drapey Tee in Venice Beach runs big. You can see the Medium on me is very large and ill-fitting. I didn’t have time to try it on and it felt so soft in my hands I tore the tags off to wear it before seeing if it really fit. I’m hoping my Laundry skills will shrink this a little. Also, the wording is askewed IRL, as opposed to online. Definitely size down in this. At the time, I was able to get this with a 25% off Tees promo.

I originally tried on the Drapey Tee in Beach Heart a few weeks ago and loved it. I snagged this with the promo too. This isn’t as drapey as the Venice tee above, even in the Small.

The Vintage Cotton Stripe-Sleeve Tee in Scoopneck was in the sale section so I grabbed it in a Medium. Fits well on top but a little on the long side.

I have no sense sometimes and the Paneled Sweatshirt in Navy Floral is a good example of that. We are in the 90s now and I foresee 100s by July. Why I bought a Sweatshirt, even if it is short-sleeved is beyond me. I had too much Crewlade. But I do love it. It was styled with White Jeans (still searching) which I loved! I grabbed a Small to be more fitted, like the Anchor one from last Summer. I was able to wear that one during my trip to NYC. This one will be in the closet for months.

I love my Metallic V-Neck Sweater so much I had to get the Sparkle Cardigan too. But there wasn’t a Small so I grabbed the Medium. It’s just big all-over, including the sleeves. I’m hoping I can find a Small and do an exchange, even though it was Final Sale.

I couldn’t resist the Sicilia Scarf. Anything Italian and I want it. Though we didn’t make it to the front side of the boot I hope to head back one day. This thing is huge so I think it will be nice and cozy in the Fall and Winter.

    Greetings AudreyBella – I bought the Sparkle Cardigan online (sale, but not FS) and love it! I got my usual size Small and agree that it's pretty roomy, but it will fit well over tops. There still seem to be plenty of availability in all sizes online, perhaps that will be your way to Shimmer Shell satisfaction. Good luck! Jennifer

    Hi, Audreybella, the Venice tee may be skewed and a little roomy, but to me that just makes it look more like the tees that are sold on the Venice Beach boardwalk – a little off, grabbed in a hurry when the sun is too much – somehow more authentic. And I think you look great in it.

    I also got the sparkle cardigan in a medium, wow, there's a lot of it. But i find myself in a lot of pale beiges and creams in the summer, and I think I'll like it loose. It weighs nothing, has no bulk, and will be great to carry around for airconditioning.
