I’ve accumulated a ton of clothing pics in the last two weeks. Since I wasn’t too crazy about anything I tried on at J.Crew, I will condense and post all of my JC reviews together here. I have a dozen Anthro reviews coming plus a few other posts, so I better get on it lol.

Omg seriously?? Lol. This is the size 0 and I am drowning in it. Just like last year’s peacoat, this one fit me probably two sizes too big and the lapels are ginormous!

The merino turtlenecks are also just like last year’s. Itchy around the neck and see through. Such a shame because I adore the colors and the fit is quite good, this is a xs. I have a CK nude tshirt bra on here though which never shows through anything and you can see it clearly :( Maybe a pink bra wouldn’t show but with the itch factor and the way the merino tnecks looked raggedy after one wear last year, I’m not gonna bother. I will look for something similar at another store though because I love the tneck and black skinny jeans look.

When I tried this on I thought it was pretty cute. Not nearly cute enough to buy for $98 lol but the ruffles are pretty and not straggly like so many other JC ruffles as of late. However after looking at the pic, the washed out color and texture of the ruffles looks like brain to me lol. This is the XS which has a relaxed not shapely fit on me.

I tried on the XS and did not find the fit flattering at all. I would size down one or two sizes (if I could). I don’t like the way the sweater pulls away from the body under the arms. The cashmere was not uber soft but it was very fuzzy. I can see it piling quickly.

Again an XS and it is not flattering. The sweater bunches around the waist and pokes out under the arms on me. I’d size down one unless you like a loose fit. They had this cardigan in several colors at my store but all of them were pale, no bright or saturated colors. FYI- I saw the cashmere Light Berry crewneck sweater. I had high hopes for this shade, hoping it was just like last year’s plum but it is a paler and I don’t like it nearly as much :(

I tried this on in a 0 in the Wild Blackberry shade. The Blackberry looked 100% navy to me irl, not the lighter blue it appears online. This coat was a size too big for me. For comparison, I have the P2 Lady Day from last year and the body is a perfect fit with the sleeves being slightly too short. For the Carlin, I would go with a P0, I really need a snugger fit through the body.

Wool Bistro mini and women’s Gingham shirt

These two pieces are the only things that fit me slightly well and I might consider buying. Both are size 0. The mini is quite cute and just long enough for me. It is very short in the back when you lean over though. The Women’s blue gingham shirt fit well but it has a relaxed fit, it doesn’t hug the curves. I quite like these pieces on me but I think they are way over priced. Especially the shirt, which is a very basic cotton shirt yet it was priced at around $60?! Ummm no.

When I saw this on the hanger I thought it might be the Spy trench but I was wrong (shoot, love that Spy trench.) Still a nice coat though. I’ll admit J.Crew continues to do coats really well. I tried on the 0 which was just a bit big on me. I’d probably go with a P2 if I wanted to buy. The Stadium cloth material is thick and very warm. We’re talking winter in Chicago warm. With the two layers of fabric across the front of my chest it kind of felt like I was wearing a pillow lol. It is much too mild up here in WA for this coat, at least for me, but overall a very nice trench.

So what do you think of the items I tried on?

Before I end this post, I have a quick question! Has any one tried on the Ingenue coat or seen the Spiced wine color irl? It looks gorgeous!
