j.crew reviews: cropped fray jacket, big-shot dot circle skirt

Hi everyone,

Some more new arrival reviews!

Cropped Fray Jacket -- This is in the neon rose color, which didn't seem neon at all to me IRL. I went with my normal size 4 blazer size and felt that was right. A little cropped and I liked the neckline. I also liked the bit of puff at the shoulder.  Made from cotton/modal, which is nice. It was lined and I like the tonal buttons.



















Big-shot Dot Circle Skirt -- I thought this was really cute. I couldn't decide where/when I'd wear it thought.  I probably wouldn't wear it out for a date night (polka dots make DH laugh), and it wouldn't be used enough just to run errands, b/c it feel a touch too dressed up for some reason to me. I think it's fun for work or church though! This was a 4 and hit my waist and the fit was fine. I could maybe size up to a 6 to wear it a bit lower.




















What do you think of these two pieces?  Happy Friday!

  1. Thanks for the pix and reviews, M! Both items look really pretty on you! :)

    The Cropped Fray Jacket appears to be the same color and fabric as the Basket-weave shift dress. The two together could possibly be cute as shirt/jacket ensemble for a dressier occasion or event. How would you describe the color IRL? Is it a coral shade?

  2. Thanks FFM! It does look like the same color, and would be really pretty together for a special occasion or work! It's definitely a coral and very pretty.

  3. LOVE the cropped fray jacket -- looks adorable on you! Believe it or not, it is marked down to (I think) $99.99 at the North Michigan Avenue store. Went in yesterday to return a pair of pants & I could not believe what was in the sale section. The yellow spring peacoat with the gold buttons was also reduced. This stuff just came in, didn't it??

  5. I love the jacket on you. The color is great. Doesn't look neon to me neither but I like this color better than the usual red/orange. Not sure about the big dots on the skirt. I'm a huge polka dot fans and big dots on skirt is not my absolute favorite.

  6. love the jacket on you! I was at J.Crew today and one of the SAs was wearing it and it was adorable.

    I love the skirt too, but I agree about not having an occasion to wear it.
