Really cute jacket!

FashionPrincess · Hermes

Cute, but I think I like the long sleeve one better and will last longer as it isn't as trendy. I can't decide if I like the ivory or navy better, but I think I'm leaning towards the blue. Guess it depends on your coloring. And yay, with the code that is a really good price.

i ordered both of those! i got the blue one and it's cute, but the short-sleeved one in ivory is backordered so i haven't seen it yet. the quality of the blue one is nice, though, and for $34 it's a great deal. the only problem is that they run VERY small--i'm about a size 8 on top and ordered the L, and it is tight.

Thanks for your review, bumblebee, and for your opinion, FP. Hmm, now I can't decide b/w the blue and the short sleeve white. Maybe I'll get both as well.

I tried the same jacket on at the Nordie's Anniversary Sale. For me it ran true to size, since I wanted a closer fit. I'm a 4 and a Small was just fine. With the 25% off code you could just get both and maybe see if you like them?

Jamiek--did you buy it at Nordies?? If so, do you like it? I just ordered the short sleeve one. My expectations aren't too high for $40 (with shipping) but I still hope I like it.

jaymiek · Coach

Alb, I didn't end up buying it. It fit perfectly but I really didn't need another cropped jacket. It was just one of those "I'll try it on just to see how it fits" things. They had lots of colors though- black, brown, ivory, and blue.

Hey - What code?

twinkle · Coach

I have the short-sleeve one in denim and I LOVE it. its really good quality for the price and is adorable. I personally think it loses something in the long sleeves...

I own another jacket by Tulle and IMO it's great quality, especially considering the price point. My jacket had a nice lining, great fit, and felt really substantial...that's so hard to find for under $60. Tulle is pretty consistent sizingwise...I took an L in my jacket for a looser fit, but I'm a 34D and an M would've worked as well.

the 25% off code is SIZZLE. it's 25% off regularly priced items and 10% off sale items.

Karina · Chanel

I like the first one better.

Oh no, I wonder if I should have ordered a medium. I am very top-heavy, so I got a large b/c of my big ole boobs (probably a 34D-ish right about now). Do you think it will still be fitted? Anyone? I usually get mediums, sometimes larges in tops.

M might be a tad on the straining buttons side...L was more comfortable ultimately. FYI I'm a 4/6 and I usually take small at mall stores, and mediums at boutiques/higher end stuff.

Sounds like we are similar in size then. Thanks for your reply, I feel better now.
