Sweeping ruffles vs. high tide.

I have been forever obsessed with the Sweeping Ruffles Shirt by J.Crew,
ever since it came out.

I tried it one with the Tuxedo Scout Chino (now sold out),
and it was a perfect outfit for a spring/cool summer day.
Alas, I didn't purchase right there and then (that was sometime in February),
so it got back-ordered 'til May (at one point, 'til June!).

I've been on the lookout for a look-alike ever since,
and last month, walking around an Anthropologie store, I found it!

It also comes in brown (online) and navy (in stores).

It was pretty close in fit and look when I tried it one,
sans the longer sleeves and additional little ruffles on the chest.

What do you all think?

  1. Great find! I like the Anthro top a lot, especially that it is slubby tee material, which means it will be ultra comfy AND really cute! :)

  3. i love it!! it looks very soft and comfortable, in addition to being summery and rufflely cute.

    i think it like it better, because the ruffles are more angled, most of the ruffles i've been seeing lately have been horizontal
