Hi Everyone!
I’m a little behind responding to comments, but I will catch up this weekend!
I grabbed the J. Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Mixed Stripe when I was in the retail store earlier this week. I LOVE this blazer. Here are a few IRL pictures:

A closer look at the sleeve:
I’m wearing the J. Crew Tippi Sweater in Neon Azalea under this blazer. I took my normal size 12 in this blazer.
What do you think of the J. Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Mixed Stripe? Do tell!
I have a review of the Liberty Perfect Shirt in Lodden Paisley scheduled for tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hey Rynetta! Love this blazer on you!! This was one of the many new arrivals that caught my eye. Thanks for the pics!
Hey Andrea! Thanks SO much! This blazer is fabulous; I've already created about 10 outfit combinations with it. It's one of my favorite recent purchases. You're very welcome!Thanks SO much for being here!
Hi Rynetta! I love the combination of the stripes on this one. It's very flattering on you.
Hi A Bigger Closet!! Like you, I really like the combination of stripes on this blazer. And, thanks SO much, I really appreciate the compliment!Thanks SO much for being here!
Rynetta, what is the material like ?
Angie's Closet: The material is cotton/linen–it's very sturdy and quality. I hope this helps if you're considering it!Thanks SO much for being here!
The pink makes the blazer pop! 🙂
Carolines Day: I totally agree! I love how the pink looks against the stripes.Thanks SO much for being here!
Oh gosh… This is already on my wish list!
Laura Isaacs: Oh gosh is exactly right! I think that you will love this blazer IRL. It fits well, the quality is great, and it's classic J. Crew!Thanks SO much for being here!
Rynetta, thanks for the review of this blazer! I love it! I ordered a pearl grey wool schoolboy along with my liberty print blazer because the weather is still very cold where I am, but I'm thinking I should have ordered this instead! I also picked up the navy tipped boyshirt to wear under my liberty blazer, not sure how it's going to turn out! Thanks again for the reviews!
AD MD: You're very welcome! OOOOOO, you purchased some great pieces. I think that you'll love the wool schoolboy blazer–that's one of my favorite J. Crew staple pieces. I LOVE the Liberty Print Blazer!!!! Thanks SO much for being here!
That's really cute on you! If you cuff the sleeves, is it the small reverse-stripes inside like on the collar?
cate: Awwww, thanks SO much! I'll have to cuff the sleeves and report back!Thanks SO much for being here!
Rynetta,I saw this jacket on my last visit to the store. It's gorgeous and I love that the variation in stripe makes it a little different from other retailer's rendition of the stripe jacket.
Michelle: I totally agree that the variation in stripes makes this jacket so special. I love it!Thanks SO much for being here!
Rynetta, I love the blazer on you! Very fresh and perfect with pink!
ajc: Thanks SO much!!! I totally agree that the pink really makes this blazer pop!Thanks SO much for being here!
I love this blazer and the tippi! I think I am going to buy the neon azaela tippi.
Jessica: Thanks SO much!!! I think that you'll love the neon azalea tippi–it's a great color!Thanks SO much for being here!
I love that blazer and am trying hard not to snag it – I have way too many striped things as is. It looks great on you!
Lisa: Thanks SO much!!! It's a great blazer!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
I love this blazer, so sharp looking! I tried the striped Maritime blazer last year but it was too thin and limp looking – this version looks much better. Thanks for the review!
Louise: Thanks SO much!!! I agree that this blazer is really sharp looking. The fabric is great.Thanks SO much for being here!
I think this jacket fits you well and is very flattering. I am very interested in it now that you have modeled it for us all. Thanks for the review!
Shopping Celle: Thanks SO much. I genuinely appreciate the compliment! Thanks SO much for being here!
I love this blazer – definitely will be picking this up whenever spring decides to make an appearance around here! It looks fantastic with the neon azalea – I had actually ordered the tippi previously (on super sale)with a wait list of February/January, and then my order was cancelled last month. Jcrew did honor the price (and free ship) when the item restocked – yay! Thanks for sharing, Rynetta! 🙂
injanuity: It's a great blazer!!! I hear you about spring making an appearance! Yay, I'm SO glad that you got the Tippi sweater on super sale!!!!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Hi Rynetta,Picture this: When I went to try on new arrivals last week, the SA brought this blazer to my fitting room and created this outfit: The chambray open circle button down with the mixed stripe blazer with the liberty toothpick jeans in junes meadow all belted with a light purple belt. I loved all the pieces–but separately!! It was too many different patterns on me!!! Floral, stripes, open circles–I was getting dizzy. Anyways, glad u got both blazers-i have to decide which one I like better–thanks for the reviews!
This looks really, really good on your. Waist looks awesome in it. Very flattering. 🙂
