JCA "Help Style Me!" Weekly Post

This is the weekly "Help Style Me!" post, where we can share items we are having trouble putting outfits together with. Elaine (in this post) says it best, "You know, that thing you bought because you love it and you keep pulling it out and then putting it away without wearing it?"

Please share your J.Crew item (either that you own or are thinking about getting) that you would love help creating an outfit with.

Also, please help out by offering your styling advice. Feel free to include links to your blog (where you incorporated that piece) or to Polyvore (where you showcased an outfit with that piece). Thanks in advance! :)

  1. Today I received my insider $25 from Madewell. I’ve spent less at Madewell this past year. I just bought a pair of Reid pumps and ordered the belt bag for Mother’s Day, aside from that I’m not really finding much that works for me, so I ordered whisper cotton muscle tanks in black and white. I do like the tees a lot and they wash well.

  2. Apparently the new price adjustment policy that applies to JCrew also applies to Madewell but go figure, they’re under the same management umbrella.

  3. Thoughts on bikini top sizing? I’m hoping to get the Ring-front scoopback bikini top in Ratti® scribble floral (Item K7313) if it goes on extra % off tomorrow. I’m a 36B, wondering if the sizing chart recommendation of size M is accurate as I’m normally a 12 or L in J.Crew clothing. Thanks!

    1. I don’t have that one but I tend to wear S in bikini tops and I’m a 34a

    2. Thanks, Suz! The top went back to full price today so I’ll have to wait for the pricing ferris wheel to go around again.

  4. Hi, shopgrrrl

    I wear a 34A or 32C bra depending on manufacturer and stye and wear S in the J Crew French bikini top. I find the XS bikini top doesn't have enough coverage in the front (and I am modestly endowed). The Crew French bikini top styles have an adjustable band at the back so you can make the band smaller (like you would with a bra). I looked at the Ratti scribble floral - is the band adjustable? I couldn't tell from the picture on the website. I know returning is a pain, but maybe you could order two sizes if you are not sure?

    1. Thanks for the feedback. I don’t think the band is adjustable. I’ll consider ordering both sizes the next time the price drops, but I’d prefer not to as I don’t have a local return option.
