J.Crew Email: Bye-bye, basic

"Thanks!" to many of you who shared the following email from J.Crew this morning.

The email features the Alice Ruffled Tank (Item 26725; $79.50) which J.Crew describes as:

We love a rich mix of textures, as seen in this ruffled tank bedecked with rhinestones, pallettes and strips of grosgrain ribbon and silk habotai along the placket. Cotton/silk. Side zip. Fully lined.

This top reminds me of the Teagan Ruffle Swiss-Dot Top (Item 99679; was $98.00) from a few winters ago with the ruffles down the front. I do like the jewels on the Alice Tank, although the ruffles look a bit messy. It might look better in real-life.

Lastly, I love that J.Crew used the phrase "bedecked with rhinestones". It made me laugh out loud, because it is a much classier way to say "bedazzled with rhinestones". ;)

What are your thoughts on the Alice top? Have you purchased or tried on this top? If so, please share! Do you think you will pick one up at your local J.Crew store? :)
