J Crew - spotted silk Vivie top

J Crew's spotted silk Vivie top (34676) runs 0-14. The color pattern is called black.



Size 0 - Not a typo or place filler. I tried a 0. I think this was a return and was the only one on the rack. I usually take 4 and was able to get this on. I don't know that I'd go for a 2. I'd check chest measurements before committing to a 2 or 4.

Jeans (29): Do I need to tell you? J Crew's toothpick (Similar here and here)
Boots (8): (Similar here, here, here and here)
Also check out b.o.c. by Born, $70

ETA: This is what the back of the top looks like. You can undo the tie closure.



FYI, the Merino sequined polka-dot cardigan looks like the same pattern as the silk Vivie.


Chime in...

  3. Bought and returned the Vivie. Thought it was cute, loved the material but in the end, I didn't care for the color. Too much beige rather than ivory. Washed me out a bit.

  5. Looks cute on, Gigi, but oh boy the sizing is the usual J Crew "who knows". I wish there was more consistency going on.

  7. <3 your boots. Nice alternatives you linked to as well. (Nope, hands in pockets. Broke down on Badgley Mischka sale... Was fiending, and actually don't have a hot-like-fire strappy shoe in my collection (gasp). Got this one ultimately (my size sold out in the other one). It's more timeless (IMHO) & has better foot support & walkability. Lights out on spending in 2010! LOL. http://www.ideeli.com/events/35659/offers/892979/latest_view/656231

  8. I bought the sweater and returned it. Cute but not in love and I have other cardigans I know I would wear first:)

  9. Gigi, have you visited Talbots lately? I just went there today and they have lots of gorgeous spring-colored jackets and tops. Maybe it's time once again to show us some IRL Talbots outfits.

  11. Gigi, does the Vivie top have a side or back zipper (if back is it an exposed zipper)? Thx! I've been debating between this and the cardigan (the cardigan I have seen in person). Wondering which one would have more styling options hence more wear for the money. I'm also tempted to hold off and see if the prices drop on either one. Your thoughts?

  12. Thanks for visiting!

    Anon/11:19 AM - I went to Talbots a week ago, but no new arrivals at that particular store. It was a smaller one. I'm sure I'll visit a larger store in the near future.

    CMG - I added a pic of the rear of the top. It's a pullover, no zippers. You can undo the threading that ties the top in the back, at the neck.

  13. CMG - No guesses on price drops. I'm surprised to see the cardigan still avail as many of the print cardis sell out quickly. It will depend on your personal style as far as versatility. Cardis easily go w/many things - under blazers, over tops, etc... As far as the top, if you can wear a collared shirt under, that might be an option. Wouldn't be for me. You s/also be able to easily wear it under a blazer and cardi because the shoulders aren't puffy.
