COH manic mini crops: the good, the bad & the ugly

Sometimes I feel like I should keep the tags on clothing I buy the first time I wear it. A test drive of the item, if you will. Then if I end up deciding that I probably shouldn’t have bought it, I can spray a little Febreeze fabric refresher & back it goes. I say this because it happens all too often that trying something on & wearing it for a few hours do not yield the same warm, fuzzy feelings.

Take the COH Manic Mini Crops that I just reviewed a few days ago for example. I loved the look & was super excited to wear them. Hence why I packed them along for the conference.

The GOOD…

Simply stated, they’re super cute.

(Yes, I’m wearing the same top that I reviewed them in… I put that top on for the review photos & ended up really liking them together.)


The BAD…

I wasn’t able to get the side seams ironed down. I’ll have to try again when I have more time.

Also, they ended up being more see through than they appeared in the lighting at home. Probably not a huge deal since I wear long tops, but still disappointing nonetheless. In their defense, I am wearing light grey undies though. I have yet to purchase a nude pair.

The UGLY…

5 hours into wearing them – they’re stretched out & look sloppy. These aren’t the only jeans I have that do this, but with white I think it looks much worse.

Sigh. I’m definitely not as in love with these crops as I was the day I received them, but overall I still think they’re cute. I just wish they didn’t look so crappy after a few hours of wear.
