j.crew reviews: origami dress and jules as tunic.

Hello everyone,

I had to pop into J.Crew today, as it's the last day of the STYLE25 25% off promo, both online and in store. I had several returns to make, and of course checked out the rest of the store. ETA: The promo has been extended just through Monday only online.

Nothing new really caught my eye, but I did see the wool Jules in retro jade marked down to $119.99 and the Origami Sheath Dress in decadent red down to $109.99 (before promo). 

I have the black Origami and love it (review hre), so really wanted to see how the red worked with my skin tone. It's definitely not a true red, and more in the modern red/orange realm. Love the shape of this dress and the neckline of course makes it. I thought it would be really pretty during the holidays. On Christmas, I'm always soooo hot, and short sleeves would be kind of awesome. This is a 4. I could possibly do a 2, but the bottom would likely be too va-va-voom.

I also saw the Jules in retro jade hanging in the sale section for $120. I really love this color and wanted to try it on with the jeans and wedges I was wearing, b/c that's how I'd wear it, as a tunic. And I have to tell you that I kind of loved it as a tunic! I do think the pockets would have been better on the side, but it's fine. I know the look isn't for everyone, but I kinda dig it. And bonus if I ever go to Vegas again where I could wear it as a dress (soooo short!). This is a 4, my usual in Jules.

Oh, and have to tell you that I wore my calf hair Martina Wedges all over the place from 8-1 and they felt really great. Still highly recommend them! They're sold out online right now, but perhaps you could try a WWFIFY to get the sale plue promo price.

Have a wonderful day! :)
