Hi Everyone!
Thanks again SO much for your feedback on my “Thursday Thoughts” post. I really appreciate this community. And, once again, I apologize if you see the “comment deleted by blog administrator” phrase on any of your comments on any post. My phone did it. I realize that sounds a lot like the dog ate my homework, LOL!
Okay, I have two items to review today. The first is the J. Crew Collection Cashmere Polka-Dot Sweater in Green Atlantic. This is probably my third J. Crew Cashmere sweater. I tried to resist this one, but the polka dots won me over. Here are a few IRL pictures:
I’m wearing a perfect tank under the sweater. Here is a picture of the back of the sweater:
And, finally, a closer view of the print:
I also ordered the J. Crew Factory Perfect Shirt in Printed Cotton in Navy. Here are IRL pictures of the shirt:
And, a closer picture of the print:
I really like both of these items! What do you think of the J. Crew Collection Cashmere Polka-Dot Sweater and the J. Crew Factory Perfect Shirt in Printed Cotton? Do tell!
Thanks for stopping by!
OMG! I love it all, I'm in trouble now.
Buffy Alten: LOL, I hear you!!! Please let me know if you grab either one of these items!Thanks SO much for being here!
I love that colour of green! That and the navy are so flattering on you!
WMM: Thanks SO much!!! I absolutely love navy and green; it's one of my favorite color combinations!Thanks SO much for being here!
I love the cashmere polka dot shirt on you! So cute! and thanks for bringing my attention to the factory polka dot shirt…hadn't seen that one. Going to check it out! :o)
My4Boys: Thanks SO much!!! You're very welcome about the factory polka dot shirt. I didn't notice it at first either. It's a quality shirt. I really like it, and I can see you rocking it to perfection!Thanks SO much for being here!
I received my J. Crew Factory polka dot shirt (and some other Factory items) today and love it! Both look awesome on you!
Beach Chic Girl: Thanks SO much!!! I'm so glad that you got this shirt too! I think that it's a really great/quality shirt.Thanks SO much for being here!
I love the sweater so much but I can't do cashmere. I had not noticed the factory shirt. I love it and will have to check it out
simplydreaming: I hear you about not being able to do certain fabrics. The polka dot shirt is really nice! Please let me know what you think of it!Thanks SO much for being here!
Polka dot sweater is definitely a keeper. Saw it last week but didn't try it on. Definitely will next time. Thanks
Toyin: I agree!!! I think that you'll really like the sweater. Please let me know what you think about it when you try it on!Thanks SO much for being here!
So, for the cashmere sweater – worth the price tag or no?
Skylette: I really like this cashmere sweater, and I think that it's worth the price. However, I will add the following caveat: I own three J. Crew cashmere sweaters including this one. I haven't worn the other two sweaters yet because I purchased them at the end of the season last year. So, I don't have experience with the pilling issues that have been widely reported in the JCA community. I hope that helps!Thanks SO much for being here!
I fell for that sweater too after trying it on! It's so pretty!
Rose: I can see why!!! As you point out, this sweater is so pretty! I didn't want to take it off yesterday, and it was almost 90 degrees outside, LOL!Thanks SO much for being here!
i think that kelly green is def. your color!Love both,esp. the sweater. i have not tried jcrew cashmere(yet).
Ina: Thanks SO much!!! Kelly green is hands down one of my favorite colors!!!Also, a follow up to my response about your followers question. Are you on Twitter, Polyvore, and Pinterest? That might be another way to interact with more people. That's just a suggestion, but I can't stress how much I LOVE your blog. I'm SO grateful that you're a member of this community!!!!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Thanks rynetta,you are very kind.I am not on any of those three,so maybe i should start to figure out polyvore:).
Hi rynetta – would you say the dots on the perfect shirt are white or off-white? I can't really tell – maybe it's just my monitor!
Hi silver_lining! I'd say that the dots are more white than off-white. I think that my camera does funny things at times with colors!Thanks SO much for being here!
Super cute polka dot sweater! My favorite part is the cute little buttons on the back..love! That green colors is FAB! Looks great on you! Have a great weekend!
LOVE both of these looks. That sweater is just about perfect.Creamy
Thank you so much for the reviews! I always look forward to checking your blog! Both of these look great on you! I LOVE the polka dot sweater. I was going to try to wait for a markdown, but I think it's so cute, it won't make it to sale.
Rynetta, I have about 7 JCrew cashmere pieces. I want to love the Cashmere Tippi, but I won't purchase any more of their cashmere until they fix the pilling issue. The pilling will begin with the first wear. By the time you get to the third wear, it looks like you've had it for 10 years.
I only saw the main pic of the factory buttondown, the leopard print. Thanks for reviewing the polka dots. I re-ordered the long no 2. pencil skirt and threw the factory top in there to try.
