Dressing Room Diaries: J. Crew Summer 2017

Fashion · June 15, 2017 · 9 Comments

I’m back with another Dressing Room Diaries post and this time – I’m full steam ahead at J.Crew! As soon as I saw their summer collection debut online, I knew I had to hit the store to try on a couple of the things that caught my eye immediately. Here’s a fun fact: Our J.Crew here in Hawaii gets all the same stuff that J. Crew’s around the country get, so when you’re seeing wool coats in stores – so am I. Yeah – I know – SUPER ANNOYING! So don’t fret, I didn’t have access to their summer clothes before anyone else 😉

If you’re new to Dressing Room Diaries, you can check them out all in one place here.

Now on with the J.Crew Summer 2017 dressing room show!

First up was the linen tank and harbor print shorts. I have been on the hunt for the perfect linen tank for a long time, so when I saw the assortment J. Crew was throwing down (and all the color choices – I didn’t even think twice!). Despite what my face says I love how they fit and I feel like with the proper bra they are my new summer go-to. It fits true to size (I’m wearing a small) and I purchased it in 4 colors! #win

Now let’s talk about the shorts. They’re freaking adorable the print reminds me so much of my beloved Royal Hawaiian Hotel, but alas – the fit was really bad on me. I’m not sure what exactly was going on, but I’m wearing a size 6 and they still look pretty bad. They come up high, which is normally a win in my book, but the inseam is very tiny and they were really riding up my butt! It’s a shame, but these stayed at the store. I will say that I think anyone who does not share my muscular legs may find these exceptionally attractive – it’s worth a try, because they are super cute.Dressing Room Diaries: J.

Next up I tried on the ruffled shorts in seersucker. As soon as I saw them on the rack, I loved them, but they sort of fell flat on my body. They flared out in the back and kind of made me look bigger than I am, which is always a huge red flag for me. I loved the deep pockets, the ruffle trim and the fact that they didn’t feel like I was wearing a pair of booty shorts, but the soggy diaper look is not a good one on grown adults! I’m wearing a size 4 (they didn’t have a 2) and they stayed at the store.Dressing Room Diaries: J. Crew Summer 2017 - CommuniKait

Next up were the seaside pants that everyone is talking about and sporting this season. I don’t have long, pretty legs so I enjoy a good summer style pant. These seaside pants do not disappoint! In fact, they come in four colors and I love every single one. The fit is great (I’m wearing a size 4) and they are comfy, but feel put together. Does that make sense?Dressing Room Diaries: J.

I also tried on the same ones in a pineapple print. I knew as soon as I put on the pineapple pair that my mind was made up – they were coming home with me! In this photo, I’m wearing a size 2, but I ended up buying a size 4, because the last thing I ever want in white pants is something that is too tight. Ya feel me? So I sized up a little bit to account for any potentially unflattering tightness. Dressing Room Diaries: J. Crew Summer 2017 - CommuniKait

These pictures really don’t do them justice, because the colors are so vibrant and perfect! They have already become my favorite pants – super comfortable and pretty flattering considering they feel like I’m wearing pajamas!Dressing Room Diaries: J. Crew Summer 2017 - CommuniKait

In addition to all the things I tried on at the store, I also placed a sizable online order (the amazing summer sales always get me!) so maybe I will do an at-home try on of all those items. Thoughts?!

Happy shopping, everyone!
