J Crew New Arrivals: August

New arrivals showed up yesterday and J Crew and Early Access for Factory happened today. My head was spinning as I looked back and forth between the two sites. Let’s talk J Crew retail new arrivals first. My store has a First Look event tonight but I don’t think I’ll be able to make it this time.

I absolutely LOVE the Marble Print. I don’t think I do light pink very well but this print has a nice mix of color that I think I can pull it off. I wish I was in an office because the No. 2 Pencil Skirt looks beautiful but the Chiffon Dress in Marble Print is probably the most practical of these items. I can’t justify paying $110 for a Poly sleeveless blouse. I see this transitioning to Factory in a more faded color.

Of course the Excursion Vest is always popular and I love the Irish Moss this year. I already have Black from several years ago and Navy from the Factory. And how does that Deep Burgundy color of the Downtown Field Jacket look? I love it! And I might just finally get a Midi Skirt since both the Pesto and Warm Sepia of the Micro-Pleated Midi Skirt are beautiful colors for Fall.

Lastly, I have no reasons why but I absolutely NEED the Soft Lamé Shirtdress

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
I want to see everything I can IRL before I decide on making any purchases. I did buy from the Factory today during Early Access. I’ll share those picks tomorrow.
What are your picks from the August roll-out?

    Love your choices! Am anxious to see the lame – I have a wedding in August and think it would be fun there and for Paris! May break down and try!

      It would be so fun there. I plan on wearing it with my Lillian sandals in calf-hair/leopard. In the Fall, I'll switch to the Martinas.

    I love these picks! That marble pink print is gorgeous 🙂 I know what you are saying about paying $$$ on polyester. I am not sure how poly got so expensive? I would much rather have a natural fiber version of these shirts they make in polyester.

      Jane – I tried on the blouse and it's ok. It's not worth the price. I really think it will go to the Factory (or maybe Mercantile) next year in Poly.
