/ Reviews

I’m attempting to get reviews up of everything I tried on that is included in the TIMETOSHOP 25% off promo going on at J Crew.

~ Boy Shirt in Dawson Plaid, size 8 ~

This shirt was one I was very interested in seeing IRL. But I didn’t quite like it enough to buy it once I saw it. The color is pretty true to the online image. The size 8 fit well. I know this shirt comes in Petite sizing but that’s a little hit-or-miss for me when it comes to blouses and shirts.

Even though this is pretty wrinkled, there’s no pulling at the chest and the shoulders and arms have a little looseness to them. The Petite size would help the length of the arms fit better but might tighten up in the shoulders and arms.

I couldn’t think of 3 things I had that would work with this shirt other than jeans. I don’t have any colors of cardigans or Cashmere Tees that would go with it. There is a Scarf in this pattern and color that I mike like a little better but overall it’s not a shirt I plan to add to my closet.

~ Tiered Crepe Top, Sunfaded Blue, size 6 ~
Anyone remember the Silk Tiered Ruffle Cami? I had it almost every color that was offered. That’s what this blouse reminded me of when I first saw it in my dressing room. But it’s not as special as that one was.

What looks like an extra layer on top is actually where the top was folded. Just a teeny bit of steaming would have helped remove that. I don’t like that it really looks like another layer of Viscose cutting across my chest. The size 6 fit fine. I just wasn’t very taken by this top at all. Even the Sunfaded Blue looks a bit lackluster.

But don’t listen to me, as there is one review online giving this top, and color, 5 stars. 😉

These were kind of “meh” for me. There are plenty of other plaid shirts to choose from at a lot of retailers right now. I think I need more of a navy blue color instead.

What do you think of the Boy Shirt in Dawson Plaid and Tiered Crepe Top?
