Waiting and waiting for a decent promotion these days from J. Crew is torture. When everybody was grabbing the shirt for Valentine's Day, it was out of stock a few times, regardless of any promo.
So finally, managed to grab it during the 20% promo or was it 30%, I cannot recall. I was just excited to grab one. Thanks to the detailed reviews of fellow bloggers, I went down a size smaller as it runs big.
Got the shirt today. So happy about the quality and pattern. It's worth every second/minute/hour I have waited for.
Silk boy shirt in heart throb in size 4
I was worried that the size 4 would be too tight. I usually wear a size 4 or 6 for J. Crew shirts. The last shirt I got was the perfect shirt in gingham and it was a 6 and it fits just right. But after reading so many bloggers' review, decided to take the size 4. Ever glad I got the smaller size as it fits just right.
Beautiful beautiful pattern
Tried it with a black cotton sweater
So glad I waited for a promotion, even though I got it after Valentine's Day, I think I will wear it a lot.
very cute and I LOVE it underneath the dark cotton sweater!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think I would wear it mostly layering with a sweater or with a cardigan.
Deleteit looks beautiful on you,def.worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that I finally got it in my hands. Have been drooling over it ever since I saw it on the website in Jan. Well-worth the wait!
DeleteCongrats on the pop-back score! It looks lovely on you. I love it layered with the sweater.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I am able to get it when it popped back. You never know with J. Crew. It may be gone or it may pop back a few months later. So I'm so happy when I saw it pop back and still got the size I want.
DeleteYAY, I am SO glad that you got this beautiful shirt!!!! The shirt looks GREAT on you! And, I love the layered look too!
ReplyDeleteyes, me too. Super-excited to finally get it after seeing so many of you style it differently. It's such a gorgeous pattern.

Thanks for dropping by. I went to your blog and what a great blog you have, totally following you now!
DeleteThanks for stopping by and following me.
ReplyDeleteNooooooo! I'm so jealous - this lovely post isn't helping :P I had a J. Crew gift card from my brother for Christmas ($100 buckeroos!) and it was a toss up between a heart throb printed item and the double serge pencil in black (I really need a plain black one....closet staple!). But you look so lovely in it, now I'm wondering if I should start stalking heart throb again :P Oh decisions decisions! Thanks for posting this :) You're totally feeding my shopping obsession.

I just checked online(yes, usually first thing in the morning to check popback) and the heart throb shirt is back and a lot of sizes available too. So good luck!
