J.Crew: Watercolor Floral Painter Tee
This is a new tee from J.Crew (item #15285), in white. It was marked $36.50. I'm calling it the Watercolor Floral tee, as it is similar to the Watercolor Floral Pencil Skirt. I believe this is made out of the painter tee material. I accidentally picked this up in a size larger than my regular tee size, so I can't really comment on how true-to-size it is. I think it looks okay, but my PS thought it looked too big.
I'm not the biggest fan of the painter tee material - it's a little too rough for my liking. I prefer the tissue or slub cotton tees. The watercolor floral graphic is okay, but it was too brown for me. I prefer lighter, happier colors for my florals. Don't get me wrong - I didn't totally dislike this shirt, but I didn't totally love it, and it just wasn't my style.
You might have guessed that I left this tee at the store (and you'd be correct!). I think cute tees are a good wardrobe staple, but this tee was not my cup of tea (ha!), and I know I'd hardly ever wear it, if ever.

Do you like darker florals?

I like the flower detail, but I really only like the fabric from the "perfect fit" tees. Anything else is either too sheer or too rough.
I don't like this. It looks like a coffee stain. I need to see it in person before casting final thoughts. ;-)
I purchased this tee in the white because I loved the colors of the flowers- I knew it would match my beachwood cardi perfect! Unfortunetly, I did not try it on in the store... once I got home I realized that the center of the "flowers" hit right at the tip of each my breast- *Oops*!?!? :-O
So, I think it is going back to the store!
Has anyone else noticed this or it is just me (or should I say "mine")!!! :-)
@GingerSnap - I like the tissue tees for layering - one of my favorite tees in the world though is a perfect tee from like 5 years ago. I love it!
@Gigi - Haha, a coffee stain! Have you had a chance to check it out in person yet?
@MMM - What a good eye - this would definitely work with a ton of different colors. Oops about the flowers - I didn't even notice :)
JTS, I will visit J Crew on Tue or Wed to check it out. Hope to see the skirt, too.
I bought the tee and love it! I bought it to wear with a green cardigan from last year and it is perfect.
@Gigi - Have you reviewed this tee yet? I don't remember if I saw it.
@Kristie - That sounds like a really nice color combination! What shade of green is it?
I have a pic of it, but haven't reviewed it. It seemed to sell out faster than I could get to it. At least in-stores.
Gigi - Cool, will look for your post then! :)
