J Crew - silk solid tunic

J Crew's silk solid tunic (12342) retails for $88 and has been on promo for $68. Ivory, black, navy and fresh guava.



Size 4




Me no likey. I found a silk Calvin Klein blouse in my closet w/the same cut. I figured out the reason I'd never worn it is it had epaulettes that bothered me. I tried to figure out how to remove them with a seam ripper but couldn't do it. I paid $8 to my tailor and am very happy. I don't have the patience to photograph shiny well, but you get the point.


Dinagideon reviewed it here.

Did you purchase the silk tunic? Likey? No likey?
Chime in...

  4. Hey Gigi:

    I also reviewed this on my blog and it is interesting how different it looks on two different people. I do far prefer the white silk on you...it looks luxurious.

    My review was done on March 2, 2009.

    Have a great day!

  5. I like the shirt ... I think it would look cute with a skinny belt (maybe gold) to give a blousy type feel paired with skinny jeans.

  7. I love the fresh guava color, from your post, but the cut and style of the shirt is blah-zay...no likey enough to buy!!! smile Maybe something else will be more appealing in that gorgeous guava!

  8. ashley - Me likey the CK blouse better, too. Thanks for noticing the gadget. It's pretty cool.

    ButterCupPanda - I think the J Crew tunic is really pretty, esp in the navy. It will be nice on those it works for.

    shopaholicdiva1027 - I am happy I found an alternative that worked w/a minor alteration. That's the infamous pearl cluster necklace.

    dinagideon - Hey girl...next time just put the link here and I can add it. Don' be shy ;-) I was able to find it on your blog and updated the post with it. Thanks for that!

    birdie butter - Your handle is the cutest. I had high hopes for this. I love the slouchy aspect of it. Ah well. Glad I had something similar.

    krista.alana - I loveth the blog gadget, too. I was so happy this didn't work. Saves me $68.

    luvallthingsjcrew - The guava is gorgeous. I have a Harlowe blouse in that color. It looks great w/tan. I think the color did well. I'm curious to see if they run it again this fall.

  9. I'm not a fan of tunics in general, as they just do not flatter my body type at all, so I will also be passing on this one.
