It’s now habit to swing by the J Crew Factory Store every time I’m in the area. I’m glad I did. I found some Retail favorites I missed out on. I did not see or find the Lace Cami Dina blogged about here. That was the first thing I looked for. I have seen Collection pieces before at that outlet so I was really hoping to find it. I have added the name, style number and price on most of the pics. I was able to take all of them with flash (I asked to be placed in the “big” dressing room which is also in the back.)

Everything had either a percent or dollar off but I don’t remember. I did buy some of these so I’ll check my receipt later and update the post.
Tees – I didn’t try these on but did snap some pics.

Two Dogs Tee

Embroidered Flowers Tee – The original came in ivory. The Warm Blush is pretty.

Rooster Tee

Celosia Cardigan (I can’t remember if this cotton or merino wool but I did buy it so I’ll update later.)
This came in Cinnamon Spice, Navy, Burnished Olive and two other colors that I can’t remember.

Silk Tiered Cami – This came in Ivory, Black, Blackberry (rich purple color), and Black Floral Print.
This is a Size 4.

Rose Skirt (I don’t know the name of the original print of this. Wasn’t it a dress?)
Size 6

Blushed Tweed Pencil Skirt – Size 6

Viscose Tango Top – This is the light pink color (and the only one I didn’t take with flash).
Size Small – This came in Dark Grey, Light Grey, Cream and Pink and was $5.00 off.

Paisley Tunic – Once I realized it wasn’t the Perfect shirt I wasn’t too interested in it.

Ikat Dot Pencil Skirt – I think this was cotton. I need to start taking pics of the material tag too.
Size 6

Velvet Eden Blazer – I missed out on this color and have been wanting it badly. It’s such a rich purple. The outlet had this in the Dusty Blossom and Navy. The lining is navy but doesn’t have a contrast trim. This was also 40% off.
Size 6

Hope you are enjoying your weekend! I’m gathering items to post a blog sale in the next few days so watch for that!

Pictures are up…!

Just a quick post…Got a “few” things at the second Fall roll-out at J Crew. I’ll post pics soon but most of them are on the web/blogosphere somewhere.

Two dogs tee in (Medium)…Saw this in an early Fall preview and loved it.


Slub cotton embroidered flowers tee (Medium)…When I first saw it, I was reminded a little of the Chiffon Rose Tee.

w/the Shirred Wool Skirt

Mohair Souffle’ Cardigan in Heather Grey (Medium)…It’s lightweight for where I live and I’m fond of mohair.



Dressy Jersey Ruffle Neck in Heather Latte (Small)…I sized down in this which I NEVER do, but after buying another jersey dress from the summer in Medium I realized it was a tad too big. Great for working at home when I want to get out of shorts & tees and I can still run around town in it.


Silk Sirrah Dress in Navy (6)…Very cute and perfect for now and “cooler” weather with a cardi or the Mohair Cardi.

w/a different belt..

So, it was our Tax Free Weekend in Texas and my store offered you to come pick out what you wanted and they would hold it until Friday. Then they’d charge your card and ship it out to you. Easy shopping without the crowds. I knew I had to go back to that mall to get a few things for the boy so I asked that they hold it for me to pick-up. Well, they didn’t have my stuff when I went to pick it up today. (so sad)…Someone had accidentally shipped it out to me. So I ended up getting a $20 GC (YAY!) for my trouble. While there, they had even more new items out that weren’t there on Wednesday (or maybe I missed them).

I found the Shirred Wool Skirt in Heather Carbon and Black. It is so cute. They also had the Felted Wool Bistro Mini. I wanted the Heather Carbon but they only had a 4 and they had a 6 in the Black. I tried on both. I haven’t been in a size 4 in YEARS! Well…it fit! IT FIT! I literally squealed in the dressing room. The 6 was comfy too but I wanted the “Grey” and the length looked the same. I was ecstatic.


The thing I like about it is that it is lightweight, which is what I need. The bistro mini was a little heavier than I wanted it to be and I like the swinginess of the Shirred Wool Skirt. I have been purchasing a lot of straight mini’s so this was a good compromise (& fit!).

I also bought the Haberdashery shirt in a Grey Dot (not sure of the exact color) and thinking of pairing it with the wool skirt & the Wool Pencil Skirt. (UPDATE:: ummm…so maybe not…too much grey, but it will look good with jeans.)


Here’s what I want but will surely have to order online.
Wool Ruffle Jacket in Rosebud-This looks like it will sell out fast. It’s really pretty.
Printed Antique Ruffle Top
Fishnet Anklets (Thinking of pairing them with my new Patent Oxfords.)
Cashmere lined leather gloves (any color really)

I’ve rambled (maybe to cover for the lack of posting). I’ll post pics soon.
