J Crew: Collection Silk Twill Shell in Jungle

I have been wanting the Collection Silk Twill Shell in Jungle since it first arrived online several weeks ago. I loved the colors and immediately imagined wearing it with my White Jeans. Of course, it was priced high and sold out quickly. I stalked the site daily once I realized I really did want it, or at least to see the print and colors IRL. Finally, a size 8 popped back and I ordered it at full price. Reviews are mixed with some really loving it or really hating it.

I really love it. The blues and greens with the pop of yellow are so vibrant. The piping along the neckline and down the front is navy blue and not black like I originally thought.

Right now, I’m fitting in the larger of my two sizes of 6 and 8, though some reviewers state to size down. I didn’t find any issues with the chest pulling or the sides billowing out too much or being too large. The front is just a little shorter than the back, but certainly not cropped. 

The material is 100% silk and not lined. I’ve already worn this out for a date night and wasn’t hot at all. I’m sure the sleeveless design helped with that. I think it’s a really nice quality for a Collection item.

Sizes are still popping back online so it seems people are still mixed about the Collection Silk Twill Shell in Jungle. Considering this was a birthday gift to myself, I wanted to be very picky about it, especially because it’s been excluded from all promos. I really love it and the colors and print are lovely. It’s a definite keeper for me!

Have a Great Day!

    I agree – this is gorgeous on you! I have been stalking it as well, and almost bought it but thought it was a little pricey….plus the mixed reviews made me nervous. Now I will be stalking it again! Happy early birthday – and what a great present!

    Great top! The colors are so vivid and unique! I don't know when you purchased this but I clicked on the link out of curiosity, and it looks like it has been marked down quite a bit. Btw, Happy Birthday to you!
