J Crew 2014: Hibiscus Print – Twist-Back Top in Hibiscus Floral, Postage Stamp Mini in Hibiscus Floral, Hibiscus Floral Short

We all know J Crew is known for their prints and colors. The latest roll-out with the Hibiscus Floral Print is no exception. I love every single piece in this print but have limited myself to just one item.

The Twist-Back Top in Hibiscus Floral was my very first choice to purchase. The size 6 fit very well but I noticed it seems to show extra weight that I’m not carrying in the front. No matter how I rearranged the shirt I couldn’t seem to fix it.

The size 8 of the Postage Stamp Mini in Hibiscus Floral fit normal to slightly big. I cannot understand why the mini-skirts are lined in Polyester. I find the lining is cut just a little smaller than the actual skirt so sizing down is usually not an option.

  
The shirt and skirt together. The color saturation is almost identical so you could get away with wearing both at the same time. I’d grab either a Navy Jackie or Puff-Sleeve Blazer to wear with this combination.
The Hibiscus Floral Short were the final item I tried on in the store. I have on a size 6 which fit surprising well. I am always an 8 in shorts but these were a good fit. 

Only the bottom of the short is lined and the hem is striped. That would have looked really cute on the skirt as well.

I ended up bringing home the shorts with me as I think I will get more wear out of those than anything.

What are you liking from this print?

    I love this print too. I actually think that I would go for the shorts for practical reasons. The stripe trim on them is adorable. Thanks for your reviews!

    I love the hem of the shorts. I agree it would've looked cute on the skirt, too. I saw the skirt today and thought of you. I like this print more than I would've guessed from seeing it online.
