Do people really go out wearing 4-7 layers on top? I have yet to see anyone wearing that many layers. :) I like some of the jackets and some sweaters have possibilty. It will be easier to tell when they're not covered. I still like some of the jewelry and the shoes, oh, the shoes! :)math teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09138745106263001588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-86536619855594469942010-04-03T13:15:41.444-04:002010-04-03T13:15:41.444-04:00I think I will find plenty of stuff to spend my mo...I think I will find plenty of stuff to spend my money on in the fall.

I owned a pair of wool tapered leg ankle pants in a muted army green color that I wore into the ground. It looks like I might finally be able to replace the pair! <br /><br />The styling is a bit much on a few of the looks, for sure, but a couple of the looks are very pretty.<br /><br />Concerned a bit about the models, though.

I used to make more purchases from JCrew in the past. I'm hoping this fall there will be some lovely isolated pieces I can work in. What I'm overwhelmed with is the sense that this is how I've sort of always wanted to dress... preppy but a little boho, with boyish touches worked in. <br /><br />Also - for those who want to see more pieces, style.com has a slideshow of 30 looks! here is the link <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2010RTW-JCREW" rel="nofollow"> slideshow </a>Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752969741478065175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-42860243964433780162010-04-03T09:40:17.070-04:002010-04-03T09:40:17.070-04:00I'm in love with Celine's minimalist Fall ...I'm in love with Celine's minimalist Fall line.

This isn't fashion, it's mass merchandising that should appeal to the widest possible audience. <br /><br />I personally don't mind the looks at all. What I'm concerned about is that none of it fits into my life. At least at first glance. I work in a professional office 50 to 60 hours a week. I have long relied on J. Crew for great basics and lots of punches of color and style to add into my professional wardrobe. I can't go to work looking like an haute homeless person. So I look at these vignettes and do not see any possible purchases. If I were looking at the LaCroix lookbook I would expect that. For a mall brand, that's bad. <br /><br />It has only been in the last couple years that J. Crew has given us these overly stylized previews that we have to mentally pick apart in order to picture any of the clothes indiviually or on us. The styling is interesting, I like it the way I like reading Vogue and seeing the fabulous layouts. But I don't buy the things I see in Vogue. They don't suit my life or fit my budget. <br /><br />I could be wrong, but I think that's what some people here are reacting to.SunnyDayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06398034412926361235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-64139621475967295752010-04-02T23:06:09.236-04:002010-04-02T23:06:09.236-04:00I really like the collection.

A lot of the styling is over-the-top, but that's pretty standard for fashion shows and collection presentations.

And I can smell a sweet smelling fog descending over me now.<br /><br />It's kind of interesting to read some of these comments about how jcrew is alienating their base and turning its back on preppy classics. I have never thought of jcrew as a particularly accessible brand. And this has nothing to do with arguing for so-called trends. I don’t see anything particularly trendy about this collection. Maybe because I've been told I dress like a homeless person all my life. It also doesn’t have anything to do with changes in prices or quality, which are criticisms I can understand making. But for those who were relegated to shopping at lowly thrift stores to cultivate this image, they can now buy it in a nice pretty package already styled for them without the grandma smell. <br /><br />Seriously, lighten up it's just fashion.ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03245488322210190618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-88405687786387318282010-04-02T18:48:08.647-04:002010-04-02T18:48:08.647-04:00OT and sorry if this is a repeat but did anyone el...OT and sorry if this is a repeat but did anyone else receive a reusable tote from J.Crew?

It's been unusually warm here the past three days, warm enough to go barelegged for the first time since October - and so I don't care what fall holds fashion-wise right now. ... I am also, however, since I did look at these pics, wondering about the pink tweed pencil skirt mentioned - I can't see it either. And I love pencil skirts as much as I love tweed, so a tweed pencil skirt should have set my radar off. Can anyone tell which picture it's in?
