J Crew Fall 2013 (3)

I tried on a few new arrivals from J Crew last week. I plan on heading to the Style Session this Thursday and my VPS will have some great outfits for me to try on. I can’t wait. The last one was really fun!

The Collection Featherweight Cashmere Jeweled-Collar Waffle Sweater in Pearl Snow is currently on promo for $198 (from $238). This is such an adorable sweater. I have on a size Small and that would be the size I stick with. The sweater feels very lightweight and soft on. It was over 100 degrees outside the day I tried this on but I didn’t want to take it off. The collar is not removable. I do wish this came in another color like Navy or even a darker Gray but I do love it! I have this on my Wishlist but I couldn’t pull the trigger during the 30% off promo. It will go with lots in my closet and is perfect for our mild Fall and Winter but I think I will wait to see if this goes on .99 sale and catch it in store with a promo.

The Tie-Waist Tweed Mini is reminiscent of the Bow Pencil Skirt from a few years ago. The tweed is lightweight, the waist had no give at all. Though I’m in my normal size 8, I felt uncomfortable in this mini, and y’all know I love a good mini skirt. Pass 

I love the Paneled Stretch Dress in Colorblock. This is super comfortable and somewhat form fitting. It at least definitely give that illusion. I am wearing a 6 and would stay with this size. The length is great for my 5’2″ frame. Wishlisted

My VPS threw in the Stacked Layers Necklace and I must say I really liked it. I am unsure if the chain would get caught on any hair when I wear mine down. But it lays nicely and will definitely jazz up an LBD. Wishlist

I also ordered the Excursion Vest in Camo and the Horsing Around Sweatshirt in Navy. I am not as impressed with the Sweatshirt as I once was after seeing it on a few people. I’ll have to see it in person to make my final decision. And the vest will be my very first piece of Camo ever. I guess because I see it ALL.THE.TIME here in Texas it never appealed to me or was really my style. But this vest is too cute to not give it a try. 
I have the Fluted Skirt in Double-Crepe in Black and think the Ivory will be a great addition to my closet. I also added the Merino Leather Pocket Sweater in Heather Granite to my Wishlist. Not sure it will make it to sale and seems like Zara or F21 may do a knock-off of it. I do love this roll-out but I’ll have to see some items in person before adding any more to my Wishlist. My Stylebook App for my iPad is really helping me see what I have and wear. I absolutely love it!  
Have a Great Day! Can’t wait to see and hear what everyone else is loving!

    OK, you and Gigi are convincing me that I need to give that paneled dress a try – what a nice looking piece.

    And I was all set to buy myself a new excursion vest except I don't like any of the colors this go-around, and I actually prefer last year's version without the flap pockets.

      Lisa – You have to at least try on the dress! I do like the option of the flap pocket if I want to stuff some cash and ID in them.

    I just saw this post….and will be heading to JC today to see if they have the Paneled Stretch Dress to try on in my size. It looks fantastic on you! I saw it in a Dallas store last week while visiting up there, but it doesn't look like much on the hanger….but looks amazing on you!
