Fit Review! J.Crew Eloise Sweater Blazer

 


Is it Monday already? Do you guys remember J.Crew's Sophie Sweater Blazer I love so much I pretty much bought them in all the colors? It looks like J.Crew may be phasing it out and replacing it with the new Eloise Sweater Blazer. I had to try it and see how it compares to the Sophie.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XXS or PXS in J.Crew. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops.



The first thing I noticed is the thinner fabric. This may not be a bad thing because the Sophie Blazer is on the heavier side and more suitable for chilly temperatures. The Eloise may be a piece that's easier to wear all year round. The second thing I noticed right away are the longer sleeves. I actually have them cuffed up a couple of inches. This might be an improvement depending on your preference as the sleeves on the Sophie are 7/8 lengths.


The collar has been updated with rounded lapels. As for the fit- it does run slightly larger than the Sophie. The length is just a tad shorter than the Sophie but the style is even more relaxed. It's perfect for casual office attire and also works for weekend outfits. Overall I did like this updated sweater blazer but ended up returning this one because I wasn't 100% sure about the walnut color on my asian skin tone. I think I will wait for more color selections besides the usual gray and navy. 


That's it for me! Hope you all have a productive Monday!

  1. Nice casual jacket that can be dressed up! I'm not a fan of 7/8 sleeve length and actually prefer longer sleeves which can be rolled up if needed. Based on your fit reviews, I like the Eloise Sweater Blazer better!

    1. Hi Andrea! I am with you. I think I prefer the updated Eloise. I am hoping they will release this in a camel color. The walnut is just a little too brown for me.

  2. hi Leslie, I have the Sophie Sweater Blazer too! Only in one colour though, LOL! I think the Eloise Sweater Blazer is a nice update--the more casual look and thinner fabric are great for work-from-home. Like Andrea mentioned, I think this blazer can be dressed up or down. I would keep the sleeves full length for work and roll up the sleeves twice to 7/8 length for a more casual look. The walnut colour looks ok, but I would prefer light grey or camel as well!

    1. Hi Karen! I am pretty sure I have the Sophie Sweater Blazer in 4 colors. =D

      Yes, I love pieces that can be worn double duty. Those are the best! They currently do have a light gray, which is not bad, but holding out for a camel color.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed a love/hate relationship with c
