"Thanks!" to many of you, including Marisa, Irina, Desert Flower & Marietta, who shared with us the latest email from J.Crew. (I am surprised it wasn't a Crewcuts email!)The email promotes J.Crew's sweaters for Women (click here to shop online) which totally makes sense to do in the Summertime. I kid, I kid. ;) Actually I use cardigans all the time in the Summer, because the stores & restaurants blast their AC so high that its freezing cold inside.
It also features the Shawl-Collar Côte Cardigan (Item 27770; $118.00). This cardigan is described as:
The quintessential comfy-chic beach sweater—made of chunky cotton, it's long and oversized with a shawl collar, raglan sleeves, high-ribbed trim detail at the cuff and hem and tilted welt pockets (just for fun). We're wearing ours over short, flirty dresses to play with proportion. V-neck. Long sleeves. Hits below hip. Import. Machine wash.The cardigan is cute. I love the look of a shawl collar. It tends to frame the face and neck beautifully.
However, I can't seem to get over those short shorts in the email's image! Are those legitimately shorts or bathing bottoms? Sure enough, they are the Heathered Cotton Boy Short (Item 27765; $54.00). The model doesn't look like she is going to the beach (honestly, who brings a gorgeous leather bag like that to the beach? You don't. You bring a cute straw or canvas tote that can get wet & sandy). I can see where J.Crew is going with the trend though. So I am going to be uber-trendy and bypass the Boy Swim Shorts. Instead, I will go straight to wearing just my Spanx undergarments with my polo tees and cardigans. ;)
What are your thoughts on the Shawl-Collar Côte Cardigan? Have you tried on or purchased it? If so, please share! :)
