Madewell Email: Top it off (+ free shipping)

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Marietta & Irina, who shared the following email that Madewell sent yesterday.

The email features the Pleats and Panels Top (item 34314; $98.00) which they adoringly describe as:
One to keep in constant rotation: an eye-catching top that works as well with jeans as it does with a fancy skirt. Silk crepe de chine. Short sleeves. Import. Dry clean.
Well they got the "eye-catching" part right. ;) I feel like this is the type of top where you have to stare at it for a long time to see it either start moving on its own or have an image of a dolphin appear. With that said, I have no doubt some of you JCAs could effortlessly work this top with a pair of chic heels and skinny black jeans.

The email also reminds us that Madewell is offering free shipping on orders of $100+ with promo code SCORE. Unclear when this offer will expire.

What are your thoughts on the Pleats and Panels Top by Madewell? Do you own it? How would you rock this top?

  1. I think it looks interesting...just not for $98. I don't mind the print at all, but I'm not sure about the panel in front.

  3. LOL on the Dolphin comment Alexis, I am still chuckling!

    The blouse is OK, but IMO would be prettier if it were color-blocked with interesting colors - the black/white section one color and the pleated insert another color - like bronzed ochre with deep plum, royal purple with fuschia, etc.
