J Crew - gilded sweater-jacket

J Crew gilded sweater-jacket (32804) runs XXS - XL. 95% merino wool, 5% metallic. There are 2 color choices.

Sparkle grey

Sparkle natural - Size S -This is one of the few things I was interested in seeing after one of the most recent website updates. I would give it a side thumbs up, leaning a bit in the up direction. As far as sizing, I'd say consider sizing down one.


The cardigan has a bomber hem, which was actually one of my favorite things about it. The width is thick & it's stretchy. If you have hips that you don't want to accentuate, you may not want to zip the cardi, depending on where it hits you. I was able to zip it and I liked where it hit. I have a shorter torso, though, so it came down a little longer than it might on someone else. You might be able to fold the hem after zipping the sweater. I didn't try, but my guess is the hem would be too thick for that. The cardigan itself is lightweight and the only thing jacket about it is the style. Definitely not the weight.

Necklace: ferrovia necklace in silver


I like the contrast of the zippers with the sweater color. I thought the sweater would be a bit more metallic than it is. If you like subtle, you'd prefer this over what I had in mind.


Ferrovia necklace in silver - FYI, this is $39.99 in-store. I debated between silver & gold, but ended up getting neither. It was a bit too railroad-y for me and didn't pass the F21 test.


Perfect-fit long-sleeve crewneck tee - Size S - I like these, though I prefer a v-neck. I also tend to like the ones from J'Crewlet as well. No see-thru business like the tissue tees. I look thin, I know. That's my Assets by Sara Blakely firming tank. ;-)

Shoes: The famous Bandolino Adivas SP09 (Similar here, here and here)
