I have been living in my linen sweater from last year, even while pregnant. It's such a great layer to throw on in A/C and the color is gorgeous. I think you could definitely go down a size with this iteration. My one complaint is the drop shoulders. They make me feel a little linebacker-y. Still, overall, love J Crew linen sweaters.
Classic Merino Long Cardigan (XXS) in Vibrant Flame
I wish they'd return to the Eden Cardigan. That was the perfect length on me. The classic long cardigan always feels a little too long. The XXS was definitely snug but it stretched plenty so if you want a very streamlined look you may want to size down.
Classic Merino Long Cardigan (XS) in Brilliant Purple
This is the XS which also fits fine with a little more breathing room. I actually like my cardigans to be fairly tight in the arms because I think it's more flattering but I have found that this cardigan shrinks a lot after dry cleaning.
Linen V-Neck Sweater in Yarn Dye (XXS) in Pesto
Here's the same sweater as the first one but in a smaller size, which, if I was non-pregnant, I would prefer. The color looks dull in the photos but it's actually quite attractive in real life.
Lightweight Merino Scalloped Sweater (XS) in Heather Dusk
They had a bunch of these on the rack so I decided to finally give it a whirl. The XS is SOOO big. I don't think the XXS would even be small enough. I know it's supposed to be loose and flowy but it just looks sort of crazy and the vee comes down way too low. This color in particular was a bit blah.
It is fun to poke through the racks to see if there have been any interesting returns or something I've missed before. I also find it a bit shocking that most of the sale stuff hasn't been reduced in price at all. 50% doesn't make a different if something's been priced at $59.99 for 3 months.
Have you had any great bargain finds in the sale section?
i di buy two of the things you tried: the long merino cardi in vibrant flame and the merino scallop sweater in light grey. love both,butvesp the grey one.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July!
I saw you in the scallop sweater on your blog - so adorable! Love it on you.
DeleteI bought the linen sweater in pesto, and I love it. I was so disappointed that the cardigans were part polyester. I can't imagine that they will not make me feel "sweaty". Such a shame, because I need new cardigans.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sweaters, I found the same on this site Originalluxury There are a lot of excellent sweaters here
