This morning I am sharing the new Skorts J Crew has brought to us.
~ Shadow Stripe Top, Safari, size 8 ~
This top comes in an array of colors but beware as this is partially see-through .You can probably get away with not wearing a cami underneath in the darker colors if you go with a nude bra but the white and pink/Blossom will need something under. You can see my black bra showing under the Safari color. The size 8 is my normal size for this style of shirt – short-sleeve & boxy. There is an exposed zipper in back. Overall, this is a pass. I want a full-coverage shirt for $98.
You can kind of see it here but the stripes in front are vertical and the stripes in back are diagonal. Go to the online image for a better look. I do like the color of the Safari. That’s a plus. The Blossom/Pink looks really pretty IRL as well.
~ Metallic Linen Crossover Short, Gold Tobacco, size 8 ~
I liked the color of these shorts and, on the hanger, thought I would like the style of them. Once I tried them on I thought I looked like a gladiator. The size 8 fits fine but I didn’t notice the puffing out on the hips until I saw the pictures.
I like the material and I like the color. The color on the online image is a lot lighter. The color you see here is the true color, almost coppery. I didn’t look at the tag but online says these are “spot clean”. Not sure what you would do if they got a stain on them.
If you are interested in the style but not this color, these also come in solid Linen. After trying these on, as much as I like the color, I am going to pass on them. I can’t seem to get into the Skorts. The only plus for them is they are a 3-inch inseam. Any longer and I don’t think they would look as cute.
How do you feel about Skorts coming back?

Thanks for reviewing the shirt. I loved the pink when I saw it in the Style Guide. Too bad it needs a cami, not sure I want to go there. I think it's poly and with a cami underneath, might be too warm for Spring.
Hmmmm, spot clean. I noticed that the metallic Regent Blazer was spot clean also. Not a great idea for my life.
Thanks again!!
