J Crew - Collection cashmere mini-cable cardigan

J Crew's Collection cashmere mini-cable cardigan (29715, $218) is currently $99.99 online.


Size S - bright coral - I realized I had another JC cardigan in a very similar color, so I ended up returning this. I like the cables.

Pants (29): J Crew Factory cords FA12 (Similar brilliant coral and brilliant flame)
Bracelet: J Crew brilliant coral
Necklace: J Crew half pavé (Similar here)

I also like the v-neck. I think S is the right size in some places. A M would allow for more wiggle room, such as wearing over a cotton buttondown blouse.


The Feeling
As I said, I like cables and really like the v-neck, which isn't common on cardis. The sweater is fine. It felt soft, but not cashmere soft. I just didn't get that soft, cozy feeling. I haven't really thought about it since I recvd and returned it. 

ETA: I know what it is. It felt just a little short to me. If you like the high hip fit, you'll like this. If you don't or have a long torso, you might not like it. I'm 5'2"
 


How are you & J Crew cashmere these day? Remember to use cedar spray.

  1. How do you use the cedar spray? Do you spray it in your closet or directly on your sweaters?

    1. Hi Val - I spray it directly on my sweaters and some of my other clothes, like wool blazers. Every few weeks I mist the clothes in the closet. Just spraying up above the ones that are hanging. I also mist spray randomly in sweater drawers when I think of it. I also have a wood armoire that I spray directly onto, on the inside. I don't know if all this is overkill, but it's certainly cut down on my sweater loss due to moth holes. HTH

  2. I use cedar blocks for my sweaters.

    That colour compliments your skin very nicely.

  3. It looks very pretty on you! Too bad it's short. I would buy SO. MANY. SWEATERS. from JCrew if they were longer in the torso--then I could just pull together so. many. outfits. like the one you have above (sweaters+pant+necklace.) Luv it. Too bad it's short.

  4. All these short sweaters...I noticed the prevalence of shorter sleeves too. The Tippi's that I got this year seem to have short sleeves than the ones I got last year. I have been "stocking up" on the cashmere crewneck cardis (in a couple classic/basic colours) for that reason. I've got enough 3/4 sleeved ones for a long time. Great colour on you, btw. Thanks for the review!!
