J.Crew Spotted in Marie Claire

A big "thanks!" to Desert Flower, who not only let us know about a J.Crew item being spotted in the latest issue of Marie Claire, but also scanned the image for us to view! (Click on the image to see it larger.)

The item featured is the Cashmere Short-Sleeve Tee (Item 90589; $98.00). J.Crew describes this top as "Chic as ever, now with a true short sleeve. Made of soft, luxurious cashmere from a world-famous Italian mill in a fine 12-gauge knit".

The image to the left shows the top paired with shorts. I always pictured wearing short sleeve cashmere tees over a long sleeve blouse. So this got me wondering, can you wear cashmere short sleeve tees in the summertime? I mean, wouldn't it be too hot to wear?

Would you wear a short sleeve cashmere sweater in the summer? What are your thoughts on the top featured? Do you own this short sleeve sweater? If so, please share! :)

J.Crew Spotted in Harpar's Bazaar

A big "thanks!" to Desert Flower, who not only let us know about a few J.Crew items being spotted in the recent issue of Harpar's Bazaar Magazine, but also scanned the image for us to view! (Click on the image above to see it larger.)

The magazine features J.Crew's Cashmere Crewneck Tee (Item 98277; Regular $145.00, select colors $69.99) in Light Citron & Bright Cantaloupe. J.Crew describes this top as:

Soft, luxurious cashmere from a world-famous Italian mill in a fine 12-gauge knit. Crewneck. Tubular trim at neck. Long sleeves. Rolled edge at cuffs and hem.

I do like the Cashmere Tee, however I do not know about the colors. For those price points, I rather go with classic shades like Navy. I save the "pop-of-color" for smaller (more inexpensive) items like nail-polish or even J.Crew's Watch Strap (Item 19474; $20.00). Which incidentally, I recently got the Neon Rose version and love it!

What are your thoughts on the sweaters featured in the magazine? Do you own bright color cashmere sweaters? What are your thoughts on J.Crew's cashmere sweaters in general?
