But in some stroke of absolute serendipity, I decided to wear my sage colored Frances cami last night to go out (we needed to get CW's passport photos done and eat at an Indian place we just LOVE) and today, Chanel Fashionista asked me if I could talk about the sage colored Frances cami...awesome!
It was so freaking humid (air feels like it is sitting on you...really) that I figured that if the Frances cami needs a steaming, then what is better than good ole Virginia swamp air in August?
Well, it turns out that even seriously crazy humidity isn't able to getting rid of J. Crew wrinkles...or maybe crewrinkles...the wrinkles that only come out when you take your very new blouse or dress to the dry cleaners (you like, Gigiofca?)...the brand of wrinkles that no other company besides J. Crew is capable of making (and my Boden stuff comes from England...whatcha think of them apples, Mr. Drexler?)...
Nuff said...you know the blouse will be wrinkled...here goes the review:
On me, close-up. I did buy a Petite 8 because of my crazy short torso, and it fits perfectly in length, and in width. The ruffles down the front are just enough fussy for me to feel all female (go alliteration), and the cami styling makes this a winner for the heat but is thin enough to wear under a jacket.
This is a fairly pale color for me, but since it matches my eye color almost exactly, I figure I can get away with it. Normally I need to stay away from the pastels.
As Chanel Fashionista rightly pointed out, I did also buy this in a rose color (which is more of a flattering hue on me).

I look forward to this being wrinkle-free...it was fine for slumming around town last night, but I will NEED it to be pressed for nicer outings.
I obviously went REALLY casual last night. I also like to match my vehicle. ;)
If you would like to purchase it, here is where you can find it!
Hope that helped, Chanel Fashionista.
P.S.: MissMasala: The shoes I wore with the purple Saturday dress in this post are J. Crew Magdalene Strappy Sandals. I believe they are sold out. I bought them in a size 9 (one size smaller than I normally wear) off ebay. They fit perfectly. :)
