Unacceptable. I've ordered from other companies lately (replacement household stuff....bedding, etc.) and mostly have 2 day shipping! Many have free shipping as well or a coupon of some sort. I just don't have the time, the patience or the will to battle J. Crew every time I order something.

I swear it's because I've let go of so much suffocating stuff, I've got a clear plan and my home is becoming much more clean and clutter free. I'm actually tired at night (I've been working like a dog) and feel great when I wake. I can't tell you how this relatively simple activity of decluttering has changed my life. I'm saving money (yah), can actually find stuff because it has a real place to live and I'm spending a lot less time making decisions because I have too may choices. Less choices is making my life much more happy! I'd like to see J. Crew have less choices....but beautiful, well made, quality choices. I think we all want that.

Go...I did a complete revamp of my closet last year. Got rid of anything sequin, ruffle, one-season prints, t-shirt with words on it, etc, etc. Such a relief! getting ready in the mornings is easier, no guilt about a closet full of unused clothes (and still a confusion/indecision about what to wear).<br /><br />The minimalistic wardrobe does everything they say it will - you suddenly feel like having a style on your own, the simplicity and confidence that comes with it. Once you do it, you feel like you "own" it, nothing you wear is accidental anymore. Once you get a courage to do it, you'll feel great! <br /><br />Before I did it, I asked my best friends - what do you see me wearing the most, what do you think I "like" to wear? That pretty much confirmed what I thought my style should be. Quality over quantity was my first and foremost goal. I still love a great bargain, but not for the sake of it being cheap/I might wear it later" buy. <br /><br />Never have bought any bubble necklaces, but I had my own JCrew fads - and oh boy ruffles, you are SO correct - all that money spent. Absolutely, discerning I am now!<br />anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908524697309265364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-86933177532083413142015-08-23T12:52:34.653-04:002015-08-23T12:52:34.653-04:00Plenty of Italian/European brands offering great q...Plenty of Italian/European brands offering great quality shoes.

Online price is $69.99 with additional 50% off which they matched for me bringing it down to $34.99. It was not marked down in store and in the full price case if anyone is looking for it. It is more of a spring piece , very purple but the colors are gorgeous and the ivory cuff makes it unique. Hoping to wear it before fall colors set in but the way the colors are at JC for the season, it may not matter and fit right in. It runs small and may not fit you gals out there with a larger wrist. <br /> I also bit online and ordered the Plumeria seamed shell this morning when it popped back in what is hopefully my size (4). Item C5533 at $39.99 less 30%. I'm just searching for about 4 summer pieces to popback that would transition to fall and making my fall list: gray puffer jacket, camel cape and the Cabernet d'orsay flats. <br />Happy weekend everyone! <br />Shopping Cellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609287005914939866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-11555067374779354052015-08-23T09:43:47.498-04:002015-08-23T09:43:47.498-04:00Hi Ruffles (And everyone else) , Well.....I owned...Hi Ruffles (And everyone else) , Well.....I owned 5 Bubbler necklaces! God. I feel like I went through a period of brainwashing where I had to own everything J. Crew! In my case being able to shop at J. Crew was the incentive to lose 35 lbs. And boy did I celebrate....ha! So J. Crew serviced it's purpose and I'm thankful and I can move on....J. Crew has "moved on" (to clothing and jewelry I don't like anymore) so it's ok for me to release those things that just aren't my style anymore. Someone will be happy to give them a new home.

I 'm just over it. I hadn't worn most of the things in a few years. I kept my navy school blazer, 2 wool skirts (not pencil....things I can actually move in!) my tees. tippis and cardigans....good basics. I've even purged a lot of jewelry. My five bubble necklaces.....hadn't worn them in years. I've changed my clothing needs and desires, lost weight and desperately want a minimal closet. It's just not my closet. I've purged my entire home, thrown out bags and bags of stuff, shredded mountains of old documents, gone to the goodwill countless times. This weekend we're making a big dump run. I have some storage furniture that is empty now....so it goes. Phew! I feel so good! It's been on my mind for a while to clean out then I watched The True Cost and read The life changing Art of Tidying. Very eye-opening and inspiring if anyone is trying to simplify their lives and stuff they own. StrayCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335255658999961728noreply@blogger.com
