The J Crew Zebra Tee

So you know today was my shopping Mardi Gras (before the Lenten shopping ban starts tomorrow). And interestingly enough, I bought less that I thought I would. Apparently,the universe thinks I am on the right track.

One of the things I did NOT buy was the famous J Crew zebra tee. I tried it on. And I will tell you, it runs small. It was cute, but it just wasn't worth $68 to me. For $68, a tshirt should make me feel like I could conquer the world. I will give credit where credit is due - the tee was definitely substantial and could support the weight of the beads. However, the gray was just not a great color on me. There were 2 other similar beaded tees. One was a crawfish on a shell (I think) tee and the other was a beetle on an orange tee. The beetle tee was really cute. I may have considered it had I not found other (and much better for me) options. And please don't harsh on the picture. I know it's not great. This was my first attempt at using my phone to take a dressing room pic, so please forgive the blurriness. The pics got better as the day went, I promise.


Here is the pic of the disturbing red-eyed zebra from the JC website. (They don't have the gray online, or the other tees, that I can see.)
What do you think of the zebra tee? When do you spend $68 on a tshirt?
