Birds


Hello everybody!

Again, I have been very busy, plus I had some problems with my loptop, so I haven't been posting recently, but I wanted to show you a new graphic t-shirt that I got from J.Crew recently. I don;t see it online, so it is probably coming in the next rollout.


In my opinion it is a very nice rendition of a graphic tee and I was happy to grab it. I miss the great t-shirts that J.Crew used to make and I haven't seen anything that I really liked recently. What I like about this one is that it is a fun make-you-smile print but not too twee or over the top. Keeping the color neutral tones it down but I do like the touch of gold. Of course this is just my personal taste and some may say the birds are the epitome of twee, but I like them. The cut is nice, I took a Small. I tried a Medium thinking that maye it is supposed to be loose fitting but it was just boxy and shapeless. In small it still has a little slouch but it is not clingy. I also like the neckline, the 3/4 sleeves and the hemline. The fabric drapes nicely. It was priced at $45 which of course is a lot for a simple t-shirt and I am sure it will go on sale. I got it with the 25% off, still not cheap but I decided I really liked it and I wanted to wear it right away.



And I did! Last weekend, when I went apple picking with my daughter. Actually we both wore almost matching outfits, although it was not planned. So we both had our new graphic t-shirts in gray, skinny jeans. No I did not wear my pink Valentinas, lol. Her moose shirt and from abercrombie ( I know, we are at that stage, she is 10, sigh).

We had a blast! This weekend we are planning to visit a giant corn maze.

What are you up to?

What do you think about the birds t-shirt?

  1. I like the tshirt, though I am Bird Crazy - really, it is my one (okay one of my one!) weakness. _ I order the madewell bird blouse to try, but I do not imagine it will be staying here - I just don't wear button downs, but I would wear a tee like you are wearing!

    So cute to see you and your daughter apple picking! I am off to make an apple pie this afternoon!

  2. Wendy, I was thinking of you when I got this t-shirt, I thought you'd like it! We did make an apple pie, it was delicious. It really makes the difference when it is made from freshly picked apples.

  4. I'm not a fan of birds on clothes but I really like the looks of this tee. I'll be keeping an eye out for it!

  5. That tee is adorable! I will definitely be purchasing when it rolls out. Garnet Hill has an adorable bird merino sweater - kind of a Tippi style but with full length long sleeves.

  9. I'm bird crazy too. And cat crazy. In the real world they don't get along so well, but my cat won't mind that t-shirt at all. It's very cute and I like that it's done in a neutral. Definitely not too tween.

    I also agree with WFF - you look great. I hope you enjoy the corn maze this weekend. :)

  11. I still haven't seen this one in store but it isn't for me (although I like it a lot on you!).
    I went to my first corn maze in September (it was still green) and it was lots of fun but even more fun was "shooting" corn (like a cannon, I had never seen that before)
