So for those of you who remember I had a bit of a dilemma with the blythe in retro jade looking way too green for my liking. Well I did recive another one and it is the same color as the first one so I´m starting to think it is the way this color looks in person and J Crew got the color wrong on the website. I found a picture on a blog of a lady wearing what looks pretty identical to the color of retro jade shirt I got. I´m still a bit disapointed and thinking of returning it since it was a bright aqua color I wanted and this looks more looks green than blue to me.

I love this shade of green and think it looks gorgeous! But if its not what you want, then it's best to return as you'll always be in doubt.

What is the quality like of the Blythe shirts? I was looking at them in other colors. Do they have any shape or more boxy? I am looking for classic plain shirts, love Equipment but the price is a bit too high.

I personally think the quality is really nice, this shirt is so comfortable and fits well , however I have not been buying J Crew for too long and I have heard some poeple saying they think the quality of this shirt has declined over the years and that it is much thinner nowdays. It definitely has more of a drapey fit to it, but I wouldn´t call it boxy.

Hey ladies, is anyone getting holes in their sweaters specifically tippis? I just bought a sweater this July and it is getting these small holes, and it is just making me sad. I can still wear the sweater without people noticing, but when I put the sweater up to the light, they are very visible. I don't think they are caused by insects because my other sweaters are perfectly fine. One of the holes are in the top back and one on the side, not where I would expect holes to form like near tension points like elbows or shoulders.

I just bought a Tippi and it doesn't have holes, but it's starting to pill after 2 wears. :( As much as I love JCrew, I think I'm done with their sweaters.

It has a shape but it drapes, it's going to take on the shape of the person wearing it. I wouldn't call it boxy but it definitely isn't fitted, it's loose. The quality is pretty nice. It's a good piece to layer under something, too, because it has no bulk (even with the pockets I think it's easy to put under a sweater).

They're like thick leggings, very comfortable and cozy. I wear them like leggings, with a long top over them. Quality is good, they have held up well in the wash. I have the size M and I normally take a size 6 or 8.

I love the colors but find them to be very boxy. I am 5'9" and they just look short and wide on me. I think if you are shorter they will look better. I have a stripe one from last year that is longer and I love it. I have found the silk doesn't hold up well, though, after probably 5 wears mine started tearing around the wrist and it looks like some of the other seams could fall apart anytime (it is not too small). They are good under things because they are so thin and soft, but that also means the light colors are really see through.

That is a gorgeous dress! Thanks for the review!

Twins with the H&M jacket ;) Great look btw!

Such a classic loook!

I love your outfit! I honestly don´t think you absolutley need accessories, but a thinner longer necklace would look great with the outift.

You always look aamazing! I´ve been contemplating this shirt too but for some reson I never get it :p

Thank you for that...that's very helpful. I think I will try to order a pair, perhaps in small size. Thanks again :smile1:
