Say Yes to J.Crew Skinny Jeans

J.Crew sent out an email today inviting us to try their skinny jeans. I love the Toothpick ankle jeans and actually have several pairs.

Have you tried the jeans? If so, what are your thoughts?

Here are the other items in the email:

Silk ruffle cascade jacket, $188.00, Item 20942

Tissue turtleneck long-sleeve tee, $39.50, Item 17656

Cadogan leather ankle boots, $225.00, Item 18122

The Pleated Paulette Top from J.Crew

Pleated Paulette top, $168.00, Item 19834

An absolutely unforgettable top styled in silk taffeta. Rows of accordion pleated ruffles, placed asymmetrically, give this piece a stylish slant, while a removable grosgrain ribbon sash cinches and defines the waist. It’s perfect for any dressy occasion and just as fun with jeans. Sleeveless. Hidden button-front closure. Part of the J.Crew Collection.

I recently spotted the Pleated Paulette Top in stores and loved the detailing on it. The pleats are very feminine and fun.

I immediately grabbed one and jetted toward the fitting rooms. When I tried it on, I found that it ran rather large and the black ribbon was awkward.

I love how the top looks on the model in the photo above. But I don’t really like the styling as shown on the mannequin pictured below. I don’t think this top works as a jacket. The catalog image has the top styled the same way.

What are your thoughts on this top?
