I was able to stop by J Crew over the weekend before this week’s new arrivals. I was finally able to try on some items I’ve had on my wishlist.
~ Sequin Side-Stripe Shirt in White, size 8 ~
With all the side-zipper sweaters out there needing a layer underneath this shirt is perfect. The sequins are Navy with a tan grosgrain ribbon down the side. Right on J Crew-trend this is a longer length but still fits TTS in the shoulders and arms.
It’s great for those exposed-side sweaters but a pass for me.
~ Classic Silk Blouse, Dark Forest, size 8 ~
I was hoping J Crew would release the Silk Sleeveless Blouse in more colors for Winter but they went with the full-sleeved blouse, with a longer length. This color is beautiful IRL but a little tight in the shoulders. The arms are pretty long too so I’d have to get them altered to remove the excess material. Another pass for me.
~ Seamed Panel Tee, Black, Medium ~
I only grabbed this as I haven’t seen any IRL pics or reviews on it. It fits TTS and is pretty comfortable against the body. This tee is nothing special and so I passed on it as well.
~ Donald Robertson for J Crew Ostrich Tee, Small ~
These ostriches have high-heeled lace booties with ringer socks. I didn’t see that detail until I saw the tee in-store and laughed out loud when I did. This runs loose so the Small was the best fit. I will layer this under a cardi and blazer.
~ Regent Blazer in Glen Plaid, size 8 ~
I saw this blazer when it first arrived in store and loved the glen plaid print. I was finally able to try it on and the Regent is not a flattering fit. The single-button does nothing for shape on me. I need at least a two-button closure with the first button to hit a little higher on the waist. The size 8 was pretty snug so I don’t think that my normal 10 Petite would work either. I would probably have to go to a 12 Petite. This, and the other Regent Blazers, are all a pass for me.
So I guess that wasn’t a great run for me on shirts in the dressing room this time aroudn. But I do hope these reviews help you, if you are eyeing any of these items.
Have a Great Day!
