Dressing Room Review - J Crew Cotton Ruffle Tank (#15697, $69.50) and Harbour Oxford Capri (#15382, $59.50). Hehehe, I love that it's harbour, not harbor. I love the colours. They are my favourite. (I'll stop now.)I tried these on last week and my B&M. Let's start with the top. The Cotton Ruffle Tank is such a fun summer piece. Loved it! I tried it in white, but it is also available in papaya, stone, dark mushroom, and navy. I tried on an 8 because it looked loose at the
bottom. And that size was perfect. So if you aren't curvy or busty, you may want to size down. The white wasn't that sheer, compared to many other tops, so you wouldn't have to wear a cami underneath it. Major bonus! And I love a crisp white top in the summer. The neckline is just like the Ruffled Cotton Sateen Dress. I did not get the top because I already have a white sleeveless ruffled top from ATL from last summer, so I didn't think I needed 2. Although I certainly wore that other top a lot, and it needed a cami. If I still worked in an office, I would definitely scoop it up. But how cute would it be with jeans and a cardi? Hmmmm....lots of thoughts to think.

On to the bottoms...it appears that the Harbour Oxford Capri is only available online in khaki. My B&M had plenty in the blue. Unfortunately, since the blue is not online (and these are after all, crappy pics I took with my BlackBerry), you can't really see the detail, but it's just like an oxford shirt, with the blue and white thread, which is what I love about it. They are just so darn cute & preppy. The cut is nice and lean. They are perfect for spring & summer. I got a 10, I believe, and it was fine. With the lighter color, I am always leery of sizing down because they can be much more revealing.(Current) Final Verdict - I brought home the capris in blue but not the tank. If I don't get the ruffled cotton sateen dress, I may pick up the top. I have not worn the capris yet, but will soon I am sure.
