Size S - A nice fit and I like the neckline. The Star Spangled Banner immediately popped into my mind, though, and I figured that wasn't a good thing. This tank also makes me think of a drill team costume and we all know drill team is never considered on par with cheerleaders. That didn't stop me from wanting to twirl a letter on the drill team. I did my audition routine to Kiss by Prince and didn't make it. It's ok. The drill team girls were considered real geeks at my school and I didn't fit in that group. I was a different kind of geek -- weren't we all geeky? Plus I'm quite sure my routine was a bore anyway.
Voomvavalicious.
Probably sucking in my stomach. Tank is still cute. Still patriotic.
The soft v in the back is nice.
The tank is cotton and they have a little fold of material under the arm that I've lifted up a bit for the pic. It's long enough so you don't have to worry about sequin rub. I thought the non-itchy aspect was nice and that little fold of material helps in that regard. Check it out on Audreybella, on J Crew Is My Favorite Store, on Pink Peonies and on Viva La Beagle.
O-oh say can you seeeeeee...
Chime in.

Something about this top reminds me of one of the outfits that Goldie Hawn wore in "Overboard", on Grant's boat after she got her memory back. Very 80's glam nautical. And I think that being a geek in high school makes one cooler as an adult. I was in the marching band....
ReplyDeleteHmmm, cheerleaders weren't really held in high regard in my circle of friends. ;) I guess the opinions are relative to each person's high school culture.
ReplyDeleteI like the sequin tank on you, and think the double v's make it a flattering top. It's now on my wish list. Thanks so much for reviewing it! :)
This is why I love J.Crew. A sequined tank that looks absolutely gorgeous.

Hehehe, you make me laugh. I LOVE anything sequins and stripes, but I'm with you on this one, it may be a little patriotic looking? But then again, paired with a mint colored cardi or grey might totally change it's look? Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeletesuper cute tank! will have to go to jcrew now so I can check it out.
ReplyDeleteLike this on you...love the deep stop in back.
ReplyDeleteI liked this one and I think it is going to be popular, it is very summery for a sequins top (I see it more nautical than patriotic but I didn't grow up here and I have no idea what you do in high school here. We didn't have cheerleaders or drills). The neckline wasn't THAT flattering on me though (V-necks with wide straps make my top appear bigger as I have broad shoulders) and I am trying not to buy sequins, but if I needed a sparkly top I would probably consider this one.
ReplyDeleteme likey the top GIGI.
ReplyDeleteI liked this when I first saw it a few weeks ago but didn't try it on. I saw it again Sunday and grabbed it. I really do like it. I think your review pushed me over to buy it and I do have several things to go with it. I will probably added cardigans over it to tone down the sparkly some. As always, thanks for the reviews, twinkie.
