Today’s promo at J. Crew is 40% off select styles with code THURSDAY.
~ Jackie Cardigan in Embroidered Palm, Black Ivory, Large~
~ Faux Leather Scalloped Tank, Undyed Navy, Medium ~
~ Rory Pant, Fern, size 8 ~
I really liked this Jackie Cardigan. I was finding that the Jackie cardigans were running small on me in my normal size Medium so I tried on a Large. It’s big in the large so I would stick to my normal Medium. The scalloped tank is really cute IRL with the cardigan. The Medium was fine on me so it’s TTS. I would like the cardigan for Fall so if it makes it to sale I’ll probably get it. It’s just too hot for anything other than linen and tanks right now.
~ Eyelet Ruffle-Hem Top, White, size 8 ~
I really wanted to like this eyelet top but found it to fit oddly. The sleeves are cut in a bit but not quite racerback or halter-style. The waistline hits at the natural waist. It felt cropped on me though I knew it wasn’t. I’m on the fence with this one. I think I need to size to a 10 Petite and maybe try the Black instead. I like the eyelet and the ruffle-hem doesn’t add any fullness or weight. This is included in today’s promo.
~ Linen Tank Top with Fringe, Bold Red, size 8 / 6 ~
The first pic is of the size 8 in this linen tank top. The straps are really loose, as is the whole tank itself.
Though still slightly loose in the straps, sizing down to a 6 is a much better fit. There are bra-keeps so you can ensure the straps don’t fall off your shoulder. The Bold Red is bright and beautiful IRL . I ended up getting this in all four colors (also Navy, White, Sundrenched Pool) since it’s easy to wear (minus the wrinkles), fits, and Husband like it.
~ Ruffle-Sleeve Top, Ratti Into the Wild, size 6 / 8 ~
The fit in both of these sizes was just fine, with the size 8 being just a little looser throughout. I was a little bothered by the back though. I kept thinking I had the tag twisted or something. When I finally saw it, the neckline in the back has pleating. Once I knew what it was I wasn’t annoyed by it as much but it still felt weird on me. I liked the print but ended up getting the off-the-shoulder dress instead.
~ size 8 ~
~ Ruffle Popover Shirt in Melon Plaid, size 8 ~
I liked the colors on this popover shirt online and it didn’t disappoint IRL. It’s lightweight and looks cute tucked in and with the sleeves rolled. The size 8 is my normal button-down shirt size and fits just fine. I passed on this as I can’t really see myself wearing it this Summer and holding it until next Spring, making it not a wise purchase.
I am going to take a guess and say Friday’s promo will be the staggered promo or “buy more/save more” and that most everything will be included. They did that during the last 5-day promo. We shall see tomorrow.
Are you shopping the Thursday sale? Though there wasn’t much included in the 50% off Wednesday promo, I think it was one of the better ones.
