J.Crew Tresco Floral Mini Review

So, there I was, walking into my local J.Crew, and a skirt! in one of the most beautiful prints of the past few years was sitting there on the front table. I'm talking about the tresco floral Liberty print of course! I was sad to see it was a mini skirt, because I'm 5'10" and I don't do mini skirts, but once I tried it on, I realized it is not too mini, even for me. 

The price is $125, the material is a light cotton sateen, it has pockets, and it is fully lined. It is a more subtle way of wearing the print than the perfect shirt or the toothpick jeans. I wish it was a pencil skirt in a nice thick canvas, or an a-line, but I'll take what I can get from J.Crew these days.

It fit true to size - I tried sizing up for length but the waist was just way too big. Here's the tag info:

Overpriced, but we all know it will go on sale!

I also tried on the cotton pencil skirt because after years of disappointment, they finally decided to line it. I'm still disappointed, mostly in the color.

This is a pretty true representation of the color. It is the color of an orange julius, sort of. I wanted it to be brighter. Y'know, like the photo?

But I am pleased that it is longer this year, and the lining is really great. But still, it was wrinkled in about 2 seconds. I guess plain colored cotton pencil skirts and I are not meant to be.

I think I was the first person to try this on, 'cause there was still tissue paper in it, and look:

Seam already coming undone under the zipper.
