Vintage Cropped Jeans in Parisi Wash, Drapey Chambray Romper, Embroidered Tassel Beach Tunic

I tried the Vintage Jeans long ago and the fit was really off for me. I had to go up two sizes to fit in the hip and leg and then the waist was too big. It looks like J Crew finally has the fit right on the Vintage Jeans, though maybe it’s because these are cropped. I already have several pairs of jeans and probably should get rid of a few but that does not stop me from always trying new ones on. You never know when you’ll find that magical pair that absolutely flatters. 
There was not a size 29 to try on in these so I grabbed the next size up. They are fairly loose on me, even with the Spandex in them. They will stretch out even more so I know my normal size 29 will be the best fit on me. I actually like the wash as well, which is so faded it reminds me of 70s retro. 
 

The inseam on the size 30 hits me just at the top of my foot. I know the size 29 will be just a little more cropped, probably hitting me at the ankle bone. It’s nice to finally find a pair of cropped jeans that are not normal length for me.

There are 4 different washes offered in the Vintage Cropped Jean.

~ Drapey Chambray Romper, Small ~

Another day. Another romper. The size Small fit ok but since this is supposed to be drapey the Medium will be looser and a better fit. You can see the Small has very little give and drape on me. I think in the right size this will feel really nice and soft since the chambray is very comfortable. But this did remind me of those darn Dickies again, this time in a shorts version.
  

~ Embroidered Tassel Beach Tunic, XS ~
I don’t think my store had any sizes larger than a Small so I knew this beach tunic ran small. I tried an XS and though it fit, the empire waist came up a little too high. That waistline should sit right below my chest and in this size it is on it. A Small would be a better fit on me but definitely size down one. 
Even though this is in the beach cover-up section I think you could get away with wearing this over some shorts or skinny jeans.The gauze material should keep you nice and cool. 
 

The embroidery is nice and similar to the shorts and skirt. There are several items with this embroidery and tassel. (Note the link to the shorts says “sold out” but all sizes are available as of this post.)

Though these were all passes for me, they were fun to try on.

    I liked the tunic, too. I've just about given up on the cropped style that's out this year.

    Dickies…that was a flashback. I like the color of the chambray romper.
