My last art tee return was the black-beaded crest and sequin tee, the SA actually gave me the third degree about how I washed it! "Did you wash with gentle soap? Did you wring it? Wash it inside out?" Oh, and the last made me laugh, "Why don't you dry clean it? Oh, do you want another one?" Ugh, I told him it was ridiculous to dry clean a t- shirt, but then perhaps he thought it was ridiculous that I spent $36 dollars on a t-shirt.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242891381305491884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-25791272540404920822009-11-14T15:44:01.037-05:002009-11-14T15:44:01.037-05:00sweetsy - beware the Crewcuts tees, too.

So it was no surprise that it developed a hole in it the very first time I washed it.<br /><br />The Crewcuts slub tees are better, but beware of any that have sewn on embellishments, they come off easily.<br /><br />Now the Rosie tees are awesome and much thicker, perfect for kids. These will last a long time.Magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975869818019507415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-53545331481849227932009-11-14T13:15:27.762-05:002009-11-14T13:15:27.762-05:00It's funny..I have no issues with any of my te...It's funny..I have no issues with any of my tees from J Crew. I have a gazillion of all the varying fabrics and I feel so fortunate! My favorites are the ringspun, I'm not nearly as much a fan of the slub because they fit me very strangely...not as much stretch. I have the least amount of experience with tissue but I did just buy the stripe version so hoping no issues.<br /><br />BTW-if you think the women's tees are thin..you should feel the Crewcuts! Yikes..those are an ADORABLE rip-off! They are so thin but super soft and so damn cute I couldn't resist getting the dog versions and the giraffe on the 20% off sale.sweetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08791459049892002878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-10211364931812619072009-11-14T12:31:34.769-05:002009-11-14T12:31:34.769-05:00jcrewjunkie:

I've had to exchange a slub cotton one from just one wearing this past summer. I've also had holes in the ring spun tees. I always wash my embellished tees in a mesh bag, gentle cycle and line dry. I'm going to stay away from tissue tees unless they are $10-15 range and get tees that I absolutely love. <br />When I mentioned this hole issue to the SAs they just look at me weird.

I am calling CS to return it. I've never had a problem with the slub cotton tees, although I've returned other J Crew tees for hole problems. No way should a $40 shirt get in a hole in the fabric after just one wear...

They're slingback platform peep toe mary janes in a platinum with a cool detail at the buckle area that makes it look like one side of a bow. Looks to be the same material as the Veronique. They are most heinously styled with droopy nude fishnet anklets, so zoom in at your own risk, but other than that they are verrry nice.CheesyGoodnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778110564941632746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-34531167028763970222009-11-13T22:58:35.796-05:002009-11-13T22:58:35.796-05:00OK, is JC mad at me?

I've caved on a couple small items, like a ten dollar tuxedo front long sleeve tee and the crest tee. I have had mixed luck with tissue tees, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I definitely had the internal debate, am I only buying because it's wicked cheap compared to full price? Like others, I end up wearing tanks and tees under everything, and dressier items go unworn for months at a time so it's tempting to spend a few bucks more. But often, the time you have to spend babying these oh so pretty cotton tees adds to the real price of the item. So I'm resigned to the fact that I'll keep being suckered in, but only at the sale prices. They really do look cuter to me if they're more affordable! <br /><br />Heidi, if you're reading today, thanks again for telling me about where to find the pearl and ribbon necklace. It came tonight on the big brown truck, and it's so pretty, thanks a million!<br /><br />crewcrazy, the sherpa hoodie in the grey is on sale, b&m only, for $39.99.

I "*know* I'm buying those dang tees because the price is good, but honestly, if I wasn't attracted to them at full price (or 20-30% off), why cave now? I have plenty of perfect fit tees that are nice quality without hole issues :).<br /><br />jcrewjunkie: Re. the tees, with my tissue tees in particularly, I noticed that if I wasn't too careful, I was catching the bottom of my tees in my jean zippers (I know, I know...I'm kind of a klutz that way). Something about the texture of the tissue tees in particular made them fold just so...irritating and why I have sworn off the tissue tees as well.<br /><br />OT: Went to ON and Gap for their Friends and Family sale and found some nice basics for the kids and ribbed t-necks for $13 -- can't beat that! The Edamame colored ribbed turtleneck is a pretty color IRL - much nicer than on the website. Just check the sleeves at the arm for good stitching!
