Before this promo ends I wanted to give you a quick review of some shorts and a tee that are part of the latest J Crew promo of 25% off Tees, Shorts and Swim.

These shorts below are all the same style the Pleated Short. I found these last year in both the red and blue stripe. See them both on me here.

This year, they are offered in a Navy Nautical Stripe and Structured Cotton in solid colors – White, Black, Neon Rose and Pacific Turquoise. 

Side view – Umm…yeah…so WMM gave me that little beer belly from all her Miller time Friday’s. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Rear view – As you can see the stripes line up almost perfectly in the back.

The Neon Rose is a beautiful color and works nicely with my skin tone.

The Nautical Stripe are a Linen-Cotton blend which causes a slight problem. They pill at the inseam. You can see the image below, on the right side of the picture where the shorts pill due. On the left, I used my sweater shaver to remove the pilling. A minute worth of work and the pills are gone. Also, I have washed these consistently in the machine and then laid them flat to dry with no problems. The solid colors are Cotton so I don’t know/don’t think they will pill.

Yes, I buy multiples. All that’s missing is the Pacific Turquoise. It’s gorgeous IRL but my store didn’t have my size. One other thing about these is that they have pockets. I don’t dislike them with pockets but I think they look better with the pockets still sown shut. 

I also found the Linen Soleil Tee. The Linen Tees are a staple for me during the summer. This one is sheer but with the print in the front I don’t need to wear a cami under. This will pair well with all my new shorts. I took a Medium.

I thought and thought about ordering swim during this promo but I need to purge the many bikinis and one-piece suits I have first. Also, none of the prints were very appealing to me this year. Maybe there will be something in the later roll-outs.

Hope these reviews help!

Have a Great Day!
