J Crew: Taffeta Marvelle Mini
J Crew: Fall/Holiday 2010 – Skirts

OK…on to two jackets and two dresses I tried on.

Dream Tweed Cardigan – This was very soft and comfortable and the Medium fit, like most of the sweaters and cardigans do for me. The Small would have been a little snug. I had one problem. The zipper would not come undone. I had to pull it over my head. I’m sure that’s not how it’s supposed to be put on so it was annoying. It looked cute on, albeit a little boxy.

Gilded Tweed Jacket – Not really my style. I tried on for the blog only. It is pretty and the size 6 fit well throughout my shoulders and arms. Normally I have to jump to an 8 to accommodate that.

Silk & Flannel Dress – This is not online from what I’ve been able to research. It’s either in-store only or will show up online later. The top is black silk and the bottom part is grey flannel and it has pockets. It’s too lightweight to be wool. The 6 fit well although there was a teeny bit of tugging across the bust. The 8 was too big in the top. I’ll wait for the sale on this one. It will look cute with a cardigan and tights and boots.
All the details on on the picture so click to enlarge.

Gingham Sundrine Flannel Shirtdress – How cute is this dress. A little country-ish in this colorway/pattern but very comfortable. This will be a great everyday dress. It has pockets and a drop waist skirt. I’ll wait for it to go on sale though. There is also the Plaid Sundrine for $128 & the Solid Sundrine in Heather Grey and Heather Elm for $148. The Heather Elm was in store too and I loved the color. I really like the Olive Greens for Fall and J Crew is putting out a lot of items in that color range.

Last post coming up with shirts and tees.
