He is adorable and seems to be very well made. I never saw the original retail version but there is alot of beading and sequin detail in this tee. It's running to the small side of tts...but I still took my normal S.

Also, my frog bracelet arrived. Hmmm, I'm on the fence about this little guy. I like the somewhat "tortoisey" look of the links but I'm not sure about little mr. ribbit himself...he comes off as a little "cheapy" to me. For me, he's a return....But if the price drops to about half of its current $68, I might be back in the game.
Have you tried either of these pieces? If so, what are your thoughts?
Um, adorable outfit! I saw the tee at my local Factory store and was very, very tempted. Still kicking myself for missing the original version. The original version had tons of beading on it so maybe this one is better because it will be more durable?
ReplyDeleteI passed in store for $58 but hey, $38...I'm in! Yep, this one is more sequins than beading...hurry girl, you better grab him this time!
DeleteYes, I got the daiquiri frog bracelet, I have to say that I LOVE IT, the quality is not the same as it used to but I am ok with that.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to try the blue version...at least on line, I think the little frog looks better. If the price drops, the yellow one will probably look better to me too! :o)
DeleteI have both these pieces and love them both. The froggy bracelet was a must have for me as soon as I saw it, and I am so happy with it. The zebra tee does run a little small, but it's so cute. Love the way you styled it!
ReplyDeleteThanks TudorQueen! I love this zebra guy! Which color frog did you choose? I think if he hits markdown, I'll try again.
DeleteI have my eye on so many of JC's current enameled pieces that I can't decide and haven't bought anything yet! I think the frog bracelet is darling, but I am not sure about the color pairing between the frog and the rest of the bracelet, seems a bit off?
ReplyDeleteI agree Lisa...the giraffe bracelet is super cute too! As for the frog bracelet, I think I'll try him again in the blue color after a markdown.
DeleteI tried the zebra tee the other day--it's really adorable! The zebra part seems well-made. I'm kind of surprised they didn't just do a printed zebra for the factory tee. I had to size up to a small since I thought it ran quite small. Funny thing is the zebra seems to sit lower on me than anyone else (in the pics I've seen). The top of his ear comes right under my boob (ha ha--the things we talk about it!) and it looks like he sits higher on everyone else--and looks better. I guess it's because I'm so small up top? So I'm on the fence, but I really like it! It was hard to leave him at the store! I'm afraid he'll be gone if I hem and haw. :P
ReplyDeleteYeh, I'm thinking these will go fast. I think you should go back and try another extra small...maybe you just picked up one that was sized wrong or something. Then maybe the zebra guy would hit higher on your chest. But you better hurry...no hem-hawing! :o)
