Fitting room review #1: Free People + J.Crew

So, I'm bored and I don't want to study. 

Time for blog posts!

I went to the Americana at Brand a few weeks ago and decided to take some pictures in the fitting rooms.  I tried on more stuff than what I'm about to show, but these were the only ones that looked halfway decent, haha.

Free People - Winter's Embellishment Top - size 4 (fit was slightly large)
It looked GREAT on the hanger, but once it was on, it wasn't very flattering in the chest or waist area :(  Perhaps if I tried on a size 2 it would've worked, but at $118, it was NOT WORTH IT!  I might have tried on the smaller size if it was $30, haha.

J.Crew - Pink Flannel Boy Shirt, size 4 (TTS)
I liked the way it fit, but the color was just too "cotton candy" for me.  At $70, it was also not worth it.  I've been trying to find a really great plaid/flannel shirt, but I still haven't found one at a price that I love.  Where in the world are all of the cheap, awesome boy shirts?

J.Crew - Buffalo Check Boy Shirt - size 6 (TTS, so a tiny bit looser)
I actually really liked this one, but since it was a slightly loose fit, the unbuttoned collars kept coming back together.  I cannot stand it when the collars on an unbuttoned shirt meet!  This one was actually on sale, but it was still around $45.  Didn't purchase... :(

For size reference, I usually don't match the measurements listed for size 4 OR 6, but I always fit into them at every store I go to.  (Bust 34A/B, waist: 28, hips: ? haha)  I also typically wear a size small.

  2. 70 bucks! woah
    I really like the 3rd top though.
    I found some ok ones at Old Navy, but I have a freakishly long torso so they might not work for everyone.
