J.Crew: Roses Vine Blazer Review
So I'm a little late on the bandwagon with this blazer, but I figure it's still worth it since it still keeps popping back online in the sale section.
I was thinking this would be super-cute for Spring (too hot here in the summer to make this appropriate!) and love the way other JCA's have fashioned it online.
Here's what I liked:
- nice weight for summer ( mostly unlined)
- lots of colors in the print, which makes it easy to pair with tanks and camis
- gathering at the waist in the back, creating a cinched waist
I'm wearing a size 2 here .... clearly not buttoned!!
Here's what I didn't like:
- the sleeve lining kept peeking out at the arm holes at the wrists - annoying
- no back slit / vent
- the collar kept acting funny or not laying correctly... it was just bugging me
- no cute lining for when you want to roll the sleeves up
Back - nice gathered waist and good length.
Bottom Line: This is a cute jacket for someone who thinks they can wear it in the Spring and Summer. The print is definitely not for the fall or winter based on the print (IMO). The fit is TTS from what I can tell. It just didn't feel or look like a $100+ jacket... but for the sale price of $59 (minus any current 20% or 30% off promo) it might be worth a try. It was a return for me.
