Random Pics from the Fitting Room

Good morning! Because many of you have woken up to the wonderful news that JCrew is offering all the JCAs a special 15% off and free shipping code valid only today(thanks to all the hard work that Alexis put into the JCA blog), I thought that I would share some pics that I took the last time that I was in the store. These pics are pretty random as I was trying stuff for me and not for the blog, but I hope that some of you will find them useful.

Let's start with the Strapless Impressionist dress. The print is really beautiful but the dress is really short, even on me. Trying my regular 0 size:



The other problem of this dress is that it doesn't have any kind of support whatsoever in the bodice, not even the adhesive hem that they usually add to help things stay in place. You can see in this pic that it tends to fall off (and as you know I don't have a lot going on there):



So in terms of wearability this dress was a total pass; it is a bummer because the print is so summery. I also tried the cami in the same print but as other bloggers have pointed out the fit is off (it runs big) and I didn't like it at all (sorry, no pics of this one).

The next is the Silk-linen slouchy pant. These are actually very nice once you have figured out your size. I had already tried them in my regular size 0 and didn't like them, but I decided to give them another try in a size 2 as the 0 was too short and not "slouchy" enough. This is the 2 in bleechwood:




They are VERY comfortable and not shiny at all (in case you are hesitating out of fear of shining). Also, the fabric has a slight herringbone pattern to it. I think that they will go on super-duper sale like their cousin the "city silk pant" (I can't provie the link as they are currently sold-out) and I highly reccomend to pick them up at that point if you don't need them right now.

Another pair of pants, the Knit denim leggings that are now on sale for $49.99. The fit was good on me but I felt like I was back in the future from the 80s and I had forgot my pants on:



As a top I was wearing the Coralie cami in the mink color. This color wouldn't be my first choice if I had to buy this cami (in fact, of all the colors offered I think that it's my last choice) but it was the only color available in store. See it in detail:



If you are intrigued (like I was) by the Neon sparks tee, this is a warning not to waste your money on it. It doesn't look in anything like the crisp (white) tee on the website, it is more like something that you would throw on to do a paint job:



I couldn't believe that they were selling this for $58. You are paying for the "the fun flecks of neon yarn combed throughout". In reality you get this:


I also tried the Sequin-stripe henley tank that is very well made for the price and very versatile. You will see it soon in a OOTD as I bought it in the quarry color (that is really a grey).

I only took advantage of this promo to order the Perfect-fit stripe open crewneck tee that popped back in my size this morning, to show appreciation for Alexis's job and the offer itself. But my husband placed a big order, which is a first for him. We will see if he becomes a JC addict ;-))).

Are you taking advantage of this promotion? What's in your wishlist? Please share!
