A new promo has shown up at J Crew. Take 25% off Spring ready styles with YAYMAY. I’d prefer they had left the 30% off or waited a week to do 25% off. These next two items are excluded but one seems to be selling without a promo.
~ Embroidered Linen Top, Caribbean Sea, size 8 ~
I saw this in store and immediately thought 1) Talbots and 2) MamaBella is going to love this. Sorry for the yellow tint, but I couldn’t get a decent picture in the fitting room with the lighting they have. The size 8 was the best fits, so TTS. The wrinkling you see is just from pulling this over my head. There’s a back zipper, exposed, but I don’t recall how much it contrasted with the shirt. I think it was gold but I can’t be sure. I like the embroidery done on the front.
It really does remind of something I would find at Talbots. And, MamaBella called me and wanted me to order this in the Flax color. Two for Two here. Unfortunately, I waited too long to place the order over the weekend and it sold out in her size. I’ve got my VPS on it but I don’t think I’ll get it. I’m stalking the site daily. I ordered the Spearmint for her, hoping she’ll like it once she sees the color.
~ Japanese Poplin Swing Trench, size 8 ~
I know this is supposed to be swingy but I am not used to boxy and short in regards to a trench. The size 8 fit good, but I think I could wear a size 6 or even an 8 Petite. That would mean sizing down one size.
I know I wouldn’t wear this opened like I’m showing below but it just seems to look so big on me. A size down would look a little smaller.
I like the striped lining on the inside. I don’t own a trench as I really don’t have a need for one. I usually go for blazers instead. I don’t know how much use I would get out of a short version of a trench either. But, I do like this and seems like one of the better quality items from J Crew.
I have one more review to finish up for later today involving the Linen Crossover Wrap Skirt in Stripe and then I’ll get to a few Factory reviews.
Have a Great Afternoon!
