Thanks to Priya Cherry who sent me pictures of the new Turkish Delight Pencil Skirt that she commented about here.
Ok…Here’s part two.
J Crew Textured Garden V-neck Tee
Oh boy…did I break my ban and good. Like I said in my previous post, stress is a big trigger for me to go shopping. And I had a long stressful day Wednesday. So instead of waving at the outlet malls while driving by I stopped…and only at J Crew. I’m glad I did. They had just received a new shipment on Tuesday and had lots and lots of goodies.
Here we go…What I did not get…
Floral Belts
Chambray Shift Dress with Pockets – This style of dress came in several different colors (that I can’t remember) as well as the Fresco print. I had to size down to a 4 because the 6 was too big.
I’m calling this the Minimal Rosette Tee. The rosettes are not all over the shirt like the original tee (which I didn’t have a pictures of.)
The Beaded Crawfish Tee – The outlet version is on the left and the original on the right. The beads used are a little different and not as many were used compared to the original version.
Beaded Zebra Tee – Again, almost an exact match to the original. The beading is a little different. I think the white stripes were beaded on the original but they are not on the outlet version.
I did not get a picture of the Fresco print mini. The material is different from the original. It feels smoother and lighter. That print was on everything in the outlet – dress, tunic blouse, Silk Garland Cami (lots of colors), cardigan, skirt and possibly even shorts.
Here’s what I did get.
Retro Chambray City Fit Saturday Pant – I sized down to a 4 in this. Most of the things I tried on in my “normal” sizes of Medium and 6 were too big. The 4s and Smalls fit much better.
$54.50 plus $10 off
Solid Stretch 3/4 Sleeve Kelley Shirt in Navy (CNA)
These shirts were $39.50 plus 25% off. Lots of colors and stripes)
Solid Stretch 3/4 Sleeve Shirt in Fresh Plum (FPL)
Printed Silk Garland Cami in Fresco Print – I sized to a Small in this.
$64.50 plus $5 off select camis
Silk Garland Cami in Navy – The tag said CNA.
These were in a lot of colors (Light Pewter, Light Green, Ivory, another lighter blue/green).
Dressy Jersey Ruffle Dress in Olive – the tag said PAR???
$64.50 plus $10 off Lounge Dresses – Also came in black
Michelle Cardigan in Ivory – other colors were Fresh Plum (like above), olive green, black?, Light Pewter.
$59.50 plus 40% off
Hemp Pencil Skirt – I sized to a 4 in this as well and loved the fit and length (no alterations needed). They had black, ivory and Fresh Plum.
$69.50
I also bought a few Perfect Fit S/S tees ($9.99) in white and olive and they had all colors. The outlet “Jackie” was there in all colors for Spring. They also had the Havona tank/cami, Broadcloth Scalloped Shell, Fan Eyelet Mini, and lots of shorts 3 in/5 in (no bermudas that I could find for women) in many colors and critter prints.
So as you can see, I did some damage. My other purchases coming up in the next post.
So the new skirt I purchased/exchanged for in this post was called the Linen Sinclair Skirt on the receipt. It’s 90% Linen, 10% Nylon with a 100% Cotton lining. We are still unsure of the exact color name but Kathy had a good guess of Faded Citron, FCI. Style # is 26135 and it is not online yet and I’m not sure if there are/will be other colors. I measured it at 16 inches but it does sit about an inch below my waist and DOESN’T have an elastic band like the Nico skirts. This is a size 6.
Here it is with the Deco Shirred Skirt and the Terra Paisley Skirt for comparison.
Friday we finally had some sunshine, even though it was still cold. I was so tired of wearing jeans and fleece and thick sweaters and sweatshirts. So I saw the sun shining and the blue skies and decided to dress up for the day.
Here’s the Polyvore
Here’s the IRL.
And here’s what I really wore.
So I didn’t like the way the Elizabeth felt with the tee over it. I think maybe a Perfect Fit tee would have been better or no tee at all. Also, since I wore tights the skirt kept bunching and riding up. I should have worn a slip so it would lay better.
I did go by J Crew to return/exchange two pieces of jewelry and they loved that I was wearing all J Crew, including two new arrivals and using the canvas tote bag. I also went in to try on the Unagi, the Neapolitan and the Double-Stretch Serge Pencil Skirt. OMG! I loved them all. I did get the Unagi which is a great fit in my normal size 6. I tried them all in a 6 and I think I probably could have sized down in the Serge to a 4.
One of the managers/SAs saw me pulling items to try on and said, “We got a new skirt in. You’re going to love it.” And he ran to the back to get it. Apparently they were still pulling things out of boxes. He brought it out and it is this gorgeous lime/yellow/green and in a linen/silk blend.
It’s a Linen blend and the tag says FCI for the color…Something Citron?? I tried on the 6 and loved it. It fits like the Terra Paisley or Deco Shirred Skirts. I’m thinking a white button down, with rolled sleeves and this scarf (or something similar).
So I ended up exchanging the two necklaces for the two skirts. I didn’t even ask when the rest of the new arrivals would be out. I was too excited about my skirts.
