on the fence about jcrew jacket-UPDATED WITH PIC
Permalink Closed

 

 

 

  This jacket came in yesterday and I tried it on.  I am not sure I like it.  In this pic it is beautiful, but I am not so sure about it on me.  I am kind of thinking that since it cost $140 and I am not 100% satisfied I should probably return it.  Has anyone gotten theirs in yet?  If so, do you just love it?

I may update this post when I get home and post pics of me in it to see what you girls think.

Def. post a picture.  The jacket is adorable.  Buttttt, if you're not 100%, $140 is a lot of cash to drop.

Hmmm...I hate to say it, but I'm not a huge fan.  It looks just OK to me, not worth $140.

That's such a pretty color on you. It looks a bit long on you. I wonder if they'd cropped it for the model.

I like the color on you, and I like the back of the jacket. I think the buttons and the colla rdont look right. The buttons seem too close together and the collar is too high...for my taste anyway.  For that much $ if youre not completly sure, return it.

Hmm..it looks too long! I liked the cropped look on the model. I ordered it too, but I actually decided to return (even though it hasn't come yet) because I found a yellow jacket at F21 that I like a lot (and a matching white ruffle shirt like the girl in the Jcrew picture is wearing) so I basically copied that look for like $40.

Hmmmm...I am not liking it enough for $140. I think that the model has a REALLY long torso so that's why it looks cropped on her.

this makes me sad, but I think you should return it.

Thanks.  I am definitely returning it.  The color is different than it is online.  It is more mustard IRL.  Also, I don't like the fact that it is not cropped and to me it looks slightly boxy on me. Thanks brazilian and shopgirl for saying you like the color on me because I have always wondered if I look ok in that color.  At least JCrew didn't charge me shipping so I will only be out $5.95 return shipping fee.

Kitty , is that yellow F21 jacket you found online?
