Same Old New Arrivals at J.Crew

I stopped by at my local J.Crew and I tried on a few new arrivals:

Cami Size 6

First up is a new silk polka dot cami with ruffle collar. It fits TTS and it was perfect in my regular size. The collar is nice and the bust darts are nicely shaped. No significant gaping under arms. It is I think a little shorter than some other camis. I personally like it because despite being average height (I am 5'6), I have a short torso and some tops just too long on me, especially when worn untucked.

Nicely semi-fitted

It is fully lined and not see through. It has a single button closure in the back. The neckline is pretty high and does not look good with crew neck cardigan, but will probably be better with a v-neck.worn open.

$110, 100%silk with poly lining

Overall, the blouse is well done, imo. My only problem was that I am already bored with similar designs and I don't even own a polka dotted cami. I also saw a solid version in fuchsia, but it was very bright and doe in that slightly crinkly kind of silk I don't like. The price is also high for what it is imo.

I also tried on a new No2 double serge wool pencil skirt in green.

Size 4

It fits TTS, no surprises here.  I mostly tried it on to show you the color. It is a very pretty green, deeper and more green that Viridian green from last year. It looks teal on my monitor but it is deep green IRL. I could not justify the color since I already own Viridian green but it is beautiful.

New striped cashmere sweater

Size Medium

The sweater fits TTS. I tried the larger of my sizes because I wanted it to fit a bit slouchy. If you want closer fit go with your smaller sizes, I think it works both ways. The arms are 3/4 length which may be a problem for some. I would prefer that they are full length. The are also kind of wide and I did not like them unrolled. I thought I took the picture, but I must have deleted it by accident.

I liked the stripes, even if I have more that enough of them.  I liked the sweater with both pencil skirt and pants. The black and white could be paired with any color bottoms. The cashmere felt substantial enough, (similar to boatneck stripe cashmere sweater) and soft to touch.

It is not something I need, so I passed, but I liked the sweater a lot.

I have to say, all these items are nice, just seemed a little boring and repetitive. Maybe I just have too much J.Crew in my closet already.

That's all folks!

What do you think of these new arrivals?
It this a case of 'same old, same old' or 'don't fix it if it ain't broke'?

Please share, it would be no fun without you!!!
