Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Today is all about the J.Crew lady day coat. I’m in love with this warm chartreuse color! It’s just gorgeous in real life. When I first posted it on Instagram, many of you asked if the sizing has changed over the years.  You can see my previous comparison review here. I have two coats from 2011, one  2013 and one from this year.  Before we get into the differences in sizing, I just love these lady day coats! They are so sophisticated, high quality and the slim fit is amazing. I love that the sleeves are narrow and the body is tailored. I think it’s most definitely worth the money and would recommend.

I love the fit of the 2011 the best. The sleeves and total length was perfect on someone my size. I don’t have a 2012 version but my 2013 antique linen coat changed in sizing. The sleeves were longer by 1″ (22″) and I’m disappointed that they added inches to the overall length by 2.5″ (was 33″). I’m happy to report (longer armed ladies will not be so happy) that this year, J.Crew reverted back to the 2011 sleeve length (21″). Unfortunately they kept the overall length of 2013 (35.5″). I’m really hoping they go back to the 33″ in length – it looked so much better!

  1. Love this coat Annie! I tried it last year when I was almost 10 pounds heavier. Maybe I should give this style another chance but it sounds like the sleeves won’t work for me. I love the striped AT tote and can’t wait for it to be on sale since it’s such a cute spring/summer bag. They came out with a crossbody and clutch too!

  2. this coat is really wonderful! I think a coat is really the piece to invest into especially for the cold seasons… it really can make one look put-together no matter what!

  3. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I
    found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
    She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
    and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL
    I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  4. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied
    on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos
    to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

  5. Please let me know if you’re looking for a article author for
    your weblog. You have some really good posts and I believe I would be a good asset.
    If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back
    to mine. Please send me an email if interested.
    Regards!

  6. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Genuinely rarely should i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail about the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is an element that insufficient persons are speaking intelligently about. I am delighted we came across this during my look for something with this.
