J Crew - slub cotton ruffled scoopneck tee

J Crew's slub cotton ruffled scoopneck tee (13657) retails for $39.50. It comes in navy, slate, white, sweet cantaloupe and crisp celery.

Sweet cantaloupe


XS - The sweet cantaloupe doesn't register as sheer in person as it does in the photo. I think it's the lighting.







XS


With the Jackie cardi in endive. This cardi is a large. I just wanted to see if this idea would work as a twinset. Thumbs up.


3/28/09 ETA: close-up of bead detail stitched through ruffle. It's described on the website as "a whisper of bead detailing along the center."


Check it out on Lizpoms

Me likey. If I get a minute, I will try to photograph these at home to give a better idea of the color saturation on these.


Likey? No likey?

Chime in...

  8. I tried this on a while ago in navy (of course) but the ruffles sat weird on it on me - some were flat and some stood up and I just got frustrated. Worth a second look, though I think. Really like the neckline - so pretty.

  9. I love this tee on you. The neckline detail is so pretty!

  10. Both colors look lovely on you!

    I love the entire palette JCrew is using for their slubby tees this Spring and I've always completely preferred the slub cotton over the ringspun or tissue, so it's doubly sad that these tees just don't work for my body. I find the entire scale to be off on me: Length is way too long, neckline too wide and low... :(

    So instead I've been eyeing the Loft slubs. Color selection is not as fresh, but I imagine the fit would be better, for me.

    BTW, Gigi, I finally tried on the gateau skirt and found it totally works for me! What was really funny was that when the SA helping me saw me pick up the skirt, she inched over and muttered under her breath "I have to warn you, everyone who has tried on that skirt had really 'bad' reactions...'funny fit,' just so you know." But I tried it on anyway and LOVED it. I think with this skirt, you really have to try it on in different colors and sizes to see if it truly works for you.

  12. Thanks so much Gigi! My sister and I have been talking about this shirt and were wondering how it fit. We like the same colors you tried on. Love it!

  13. I love this shirt, I have it in the fog gray and navy. It is so comfy and the collar is very flattering. It has also held up well after washing. I washed in the "hand wash" cycle and then laid it flat to dry. the ruffles do need to be "fluffed" up while they are wet.

  19. dinagideon - I'm so excited about your get-together. Looking forward to the recaps.

    Cari - I think it can be worn without a cami underneath, depending on the color.

    krista.alana - Hey there. Me, too. Thanks for isiting.

    amers72 - I didn't even see navy. I'll bet that's a nice classic. I know the white is too sheer on this for me. I agree.

    Pamela - The cantaloupe is a beaut. And it beats yellow!

    Donna - Hopefully you'll get a 25% coupon in the mail & pick one up. I really like these.

    Emily - You're welcome & thanks for stopping by! :-)

    HeidiG - There is another ruffle one that might look better. The one w/the v. I can't find it on the web. I tried it on though, so I'll be posting about it.

    Petunia - I am a ruffle nut, so I love this.

    Anon/LL - I agree. The color palette is very fresh and just enough saturation on most items. I was cracking up about your SA story & the gateau. They are so honest it's great. I agree that different sizes can make it look different. I may try it on again out of curiosity.

    Jenny K. - Yes. I had to get both of the colors.

    Allison - You each have to get one ;-)

    lcsmom - Thanks for posting about your wash experience with this. Good tips & good to hear!

    starla729 - Go for some color, Starla. I highly recommend it. :-)

    shopaholicdiva1027 - You would look good in the cantaloupe, I think. W/your jewelry ;-).

    FFM - Yes, if I am wearing an XS then there will be many who are sized out of this one.

    JL - Luckily I got 15% off at a new store opening. There is some beading detail on it that's really cute. I think it's worth FP, but it's always always great to get sale.

    ashley - We like many of the same things :-). Thanks for stopping by.
