J.Crew Metallic Beach: Tons of IRL Pics
item# 23159 - $128
available in Camel and Silver
*Gold on Backorder until 5/17 and Silver XL on Backorder until July!
I was lucky enough to snag the gold color on the 20% off promo before they went on backorder. I also ordered the silver so I could try it on with different things, although it will have to go on sale quite a bit before I'll buy it for keeps!
Below is just a TON of pics of each cardi with different color combos, etc... I didn't dress any of the outfits up cute with jewelry or anything, I just wanted to get an idea of how much I liked each color and how 'metallic-ish' they would look. Too much metallic really leaves me feeling more "holiday" time than "beach" time!
Most of the items I have on with the cardigans I've already reviewed... or they are in line to be reviewed on this blog in the next week or two. I finish up with a short review of this sweater.
I wore this outfit into my B&M the other day and got several compliments .... I love the gold with this shirt!
*Bottom Line*
SIZE: I purchased the XS and it fits TTS to a little large for JC. A Small would definitely be too big, as I'm still able to button the XS 19 weeks pregnant!
MATERIAL: It's not super itchy and it's not the most comfy either. It might have been in my head, but the gold seemed a bit less itchy and rough than the silver. Who knows. The metallic is definitely more comfortable to me than some winter sweaters with odd animal hair in them! Jewelry is this sweater's enemy! Seriously! I'm not talking gaping holes or anything, but I've already cut 2 or 3 loose golden strands off the sleeves ... it's doesn't affect the look though. Just beware.
LOOK: I loved each color equally, but seemed to be able to create more outfits with the gold, so that's the one I'm keeping for now. I can see throwing this on with anything just about all year long. I completely plan on bringing it with my on our trip to LA later this month... it goes with everything, so it's a good piece to bring!
PRICE: $128 is a bit steep in my opinion considering it's not cashmere or something. You're paying for the uniqueness of the product here. I got mine for $102 and I am OKAY with that ..... $80 would make me happier! I will buy the silver if it goes $80 or below.
