I finally got around to taking these pictures, I have to say I waited so long because I have no idea how to wear them properly so I ended up just taking pictures for the fit. Disappointing is the word that comes to mind.
I got the Stretch Double-Serge Pencil skirt in 00 regular. I knew I should’ve ordered it in petite but it wasn’t available in 00 petite. I thought it would be easier to hem than take in the waist, turns out I’ll need both. I had such high expectations after seeing this skirt on some bloggers (Gigi, ABC, Kelinda, and Crewlade)
Here it is, looking TERRIBLE on me and I have no choice but to get it tailored since it’s final sale. Sigh, at least it comes with pre-sewn white X’s in the back (this intel I got from J. Crew’s CS) for ease of alterations.
And the biggest disappointment of my purchase was this darling jacket that I had coveted forever and was excited to see it on sale. After seeing it in person I can understand why it got discounted. Let’s leave it at the print is not what I expect it to be. It looked so beautiful in J. Crew catalogs and stock photos.
And here it on me. I ordered this in a size 0. Here it is on other bloggers (Gigi, Cleo, Ema, JCA, Summerilla, Marisa, Lindsey, and Tres Tippy).
I still like J. Crew, but I don’t think it likes me back. I’ll have the entire winter to figure out how to wear this springy Rose Vines blazer. Suggestions from sophisticated bloggers are always welcome.
