Keep or Return MJ top?
Permalink Closed


It's totally overpriced, but I'm willing to overpay for a good basic I can get alot of wear out of. I just can't tell if I like the poofy sleeves on me. What do you think? Marc Jacobs, about $150


eta: pic removed- thx all!

Return.  I don't a cotton tee like that is worth $150, no matter the maker.  You could find something similar that is still good quality for much less.

I feel like that silhouette would be easy to find, therefore I wouldn't pay more than $75 for a tee like that.

I think basics are basics and the range of quality isn't really worth the insane amount of extra money. Unless it's some super amazing fit or something, I rarely splurge on things like cotton t-shirts. Granted, if its really awesome..I will..but if I'm at all on the fence, no.

Seriously, one of my favorite t-shirts was $6.80 from forever21.

I think the poufy sleeves are darn cute! (I personally won't pay more than $15 for a tee though.)

I think it looks adorable on and if you like it then the $150 is worth it.

It does look nice on you, but I'm with those who would never pay $150 for a cotton tee. Sorry..

If you can comfortably afford it, I really like it.  It looks really really good on you and you might not find a similar top that's as cute or fits as well.  That said, it is a lot of money and if you are having qualms about it, maybe you should just settle for a cheaper version.

It looks great on you and if you will get a lot of wear out of it then maybe it is worth it. But as others wrote, 150$ is a lot of money for such a basic item.

I want to say keep it because it is adorable and it looks good on you...However $150 for a cotton tee seems to extreme to me...I would return it!

oh, decisions, decisions!!! i may just keep it-- i know its a ridiculous price but its all about the cost per wear for me and i think i could potentially get a ton of wear out of it. thx girls for your input!

I have a shirt like that, I paid $18 for it I think.  It's cute but I do not spend much money on white shirts for fear of getting them pit stained.

I agree with this. It's a really cute top, and if you like it it's worth the money, but since it's white I personally would return it, just because I would spill on it.
