The second set features the "
Black-Tie Guests" look consisting of: Left: Two-piece pailette dress, long-haired shearling vest (both part of the 769 Collection); right: Hand-sewn sequin pants, Ludlow tuxedo blazer, tuxedo shirt. There is also the "
Mother and Ring Bearer" look featuring: Washed crepe bias skirt, solid stretch shirt; boys Italian wool tuxedo jacket and pants, gingham tie.
I honestly love all the looks ...except for the "Black Tie Guests". Although those outfits would rock for some occasions (I am thinking any scene from SJP's
Sex in the City episode), I do not think they would work for a wedding. If I showed up to a wedding with J.Crew's Shearling Vest or J.Crew's Sequin Pants (for $650!!!), I am pretty sure I would be laughed at or worse, asked to leave for being a distraction. ;)
What are your thoughts on the video? Do you like the looks put together? :)
I haven't been by the store but today went to a Prime Outlets center and stopped in the store. Lots of good sales there for anyone who has one nearby! They had all colors of 3" chino shorts, including patterns for $24.99, dresses were all on sale (various amounts off on different ones), a large clearance area, etc.
ReplyDeleteNot J Crew, but for anyone hitting an outlet mall Gap had everything in the store 40% extra off! They had lots of jeans marked down to $19.99 so only $12 after the 40%, tons of sweaters for $10.99 and $11.99 so around $6 or $7 after the discount.
I am so excited to go to New York later this year to visit the wedding store! I can barely contain myself and cannot wait to get married so I can plan my very own, J.Crew inspired wedding! Love your blog to no end!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the gold sequin harem pants Jenna was wearing in her Oprah video were prototypes for those gold sequin pants. I gotta say, I love them! All the wedding looks are amazingly styled. And while I love some items in the guests outfits, they are not exactly what I would thrown on for a black tie event. A little too "down town" on one and a little too "first lady" on the other.
ReplyDeletehaha i laughed at your SATC reference - so true!!! i think all of jcrew's bridal gowns are so amazing...i'm sad they didn't have that city hall one when i was still looking for my dress!
ReplyDeletebtw, thanks for your sweet comment on my blog RE: my engagement photos, you made my day alexis!!! :)
LKH: Thanks for letting us know about the Gap's sale. They offer some amazing prices! :)
ReplyDeleteLizzie: Thanks for the nice words on the blog! :) Also, let us know what the Bridal Boutique is like when you go. I am so curious about it. Two floors of delicious gowns sounds amazing!
Paige: I was wondering the same thing too about Jenna's sequin pants- if her's were the prototype. :)
Sharon: You are so nice! :) Seriously, your photos really were amazing. You look beautiful!!! :)
