J. Crew Fitting Room

Was able to go to J. Crew store again at the Fairview Mall. There were a few spring items that I want to try on. After I grabbed a few to the change room, I realized they were all striped except one. Yes, I am still obsessed with stripes.



J. Crew Lightweight Boy Shirt in Stripe in size 6 (here)

This is made out of cotton but so soft that feels almost like silk. However, it fits small. I'm usually a size 4 J. Crew and this is a size 6.

I would recommend to go up a size for this one.


Liberty-collar merino sweater in stripe in S(here)


Here is a close-up look. As much as I like the stripe, I think the floral collar is a bit too much for the wide stripes. I like the fabric though. Not a very thick wool.


Tried on a couple of items from the clearance section:


Reverse-jacquard stripe popover in S (here)

This is a small but it fits tight around my arms. It fits ok on the bodice so not sure if I go up a size, it would be better.


The store has still got both colors(I believe the other one is a navy/brown). It was $37.99 in store. Very good deal.


Pear Sweater in S (here)

This is a light wool sweater but the fabric is so itchy I had to pass. If it is a thicker wool sweater, I can probably layer it with a thin long-sleeved tee underneath to minimize the itchiness on the skin. But since it's a lightweight, don't think I can layer it.



I was going to try on this tippi but only saw it on my way out. Next time.
