j.crew new arrival reviews: stripe derby dress and java tunic dress.

Hi everyone!

First, there are new arrivals up online this morning, so check them out when you get a chance. I'll peruse and get back to you with my favorites.

Next, I tried on a couple new arrivals the other day. The Stripe Derby Dress was a surprise love for me. It's darling.  I grabbed my usual JC dress size and it was the right fit (2). It's priced at $138.

The colors are red and navy, very cute (black would have been a no-go for me). It is a cotton/linen blend, with a 100% cotton lining, which is wonderful for summer. The material feels nice and the whole thing is airy and really great for summer. Easy enough to toss on a navy cardi if it gets chilly. Will look better once I get my sunless tanning up and running. ;)




















I also tried the Java Tunic Dress (now online!) and I loved this as well. It's a very pretty coral and ivory and is 100% linen outer and 100% (partial) cotton lining. It's priced quite high at $150, but I'm hoping it hits sale, b/c I would wear this one a lot all summer.  The pic below is of the too-small size 2. Definitely needed a 4. Not sure what happened here with the crazy color/lighting, but I'll add the product shot so you see the color (though it's a bit more muted IRL b/c it's linen).

 

(Size 2, too small, I'd get a 4)
