When I first saw this image featured on J.Crew's website in April, I knew I wanted needed those pants.
Then, the Crew decided to tease me for about a month. Try as I may, I could not find those gorgeous, shimmery, PINK pants anywhere. Finally, when they were released during a pre-summer roll-out, my heart sank when I saw that they were a collection piece priced at $250.
For the better part spring, I forgot about them. I saw they went on sale, but I still wasn't quite ready to shell out $150 for them.
Fast forward to the 40% + free shipping coupon code from a few weeks ago, and I went to check on my beauties. The only size left was a size 4 - my size. It was a sign. I put them in my cart (along with a couple of pairs of capris and the eyelet blazer), put in the code, and the price went to $89.99. Score.
The pants are a little tighter in the hips than a regular J.Crew size 4, and the waist sits quite a bit higher than regular cafe capris. Also, there are a few flaws in the fabric. I'm not super-familiar with silk shantung, but there are a few spots that appear to be heavier thread-wise than others. Overall, though, I'm quite happy with the pants. I'm glad I didn't pay $250 for them, and I'll be much happier with them when I lose my last five pounds, but if you're a size 4 and you stumble upon a coupon code to knock some money off the top of the $150 that the pants are currently listed for, I'd recommend them!
Here's how I styled them just to try them on (Forgive the lack of make-up or hair styling, and forgive the yucky indoor setting - it's been pouring here all afternoon.):
Here's the polyvore for the outfit:
I know this review comes a little late for these pants, but hopefully it helps someone somewhere. Have a wonderful day!
Oh, yes, silk shantung is meant to have nubby bits of silk, so that is indicative of the fabric.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal, so stoked you got them after having loved them for so long.
Yesterday I was able get the Backswept dress from Anthro for half the cost, I had been watching it ALL SUMMER LONG. :)
Thanks dina! I had hoped someone would come on here and tell me that silk shantung is supposed to look like that haha. I was just a little unsure because the pants only have two spots where they're nubby.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Backswept dress! It is GORGEOUS! I had my eye on it for my engagement pictures, but I went with the Mompos dress instead. Can't wait to see you in that gorgeous dress!
Just drop dead gorgeous. Love them on you.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you! :) I missed this community!
ReplyDeleteThose pants are GORGEOUS on you. Dina's right about shantung.
ReplyDeleteThanks, gigi!
