Holiday Time {celebrating with J.Crew?}

Anon at 2:00 PM (in this post) asked, "Where is the "what are you wearing Christmas Day" posts??? Let's share!!! Merry Christmas!". So here is the post! :) What we are planning to wear during the holidays (Christmas and/or Hannakah). (I really like these posts. I love hearing what outfits Aficionadas and Aficionados plan on wearing. It's a great source of outfit-inspiration!)

I have to be honest, I am still not decided what I am planning to wear tomorrow (since I am staying at home, I can't decide to dress casually or stay in pajamas). ;) But for today, I am planning to go with the Snow-leopard Simone peacoat (Item 96475; was $260.00, now $149.99) with the white tissue tee turtleneck (Item 97644; was $39.50, select colors now $19.99), the Stretch Leightweight Denim Trousers (was $98.00, now $69.99) and my Juliet Patent-Leather Midheels in blanched almond (Item 96716; $198.00, in-stores for $129.99).

What are you planning to wear this holiday (Christmas and/or Hannakah)? Are you planning to go "head to toe" J.Crew or parts J.Crew?

  4. Tomorrow for Christmas dinner I will be wearing my Double Serge skirt in Persimmon and Metallic Lame Oxford Shirt in Shell with nude colored pumps... I like red and pink together on certain occasions.

    I have been wearing my Metallic Lulu flats in Gold almost everyday. I love these shoes so much (I have two back-up pairs... don't tell my boyfriend).

    Can't wait to hear about your outfits!

  6. I haven't decided what I'll wear tomorrow, but I know what I'll wear to bed tonight: my favorite J. Crew pajamas. Back when I was in college (about 12 years ago), my mom gave me J. Crew flannel pajamas that have the entire text of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" printed on them. They're no longer fuzzy and the printing is fading, but I still love them, especially on Christmas.

  7. My family is pretty casual so I will be wearing my trouser jeans (item 92871) with a J Crew navy corduroy jacket from last year or I might wear the Miranda sweater with the jeans. I love the jeans and they are on sale now for $49.99. I didn't have any problems with color transfer. I also love the Miranda sweater jacket- it does run large so I had to exchange it for a smaller size. I may dress up though for church since I am making my kids dress up!

    Anon at 3:09 I love the Madeline dress! I tried it on for fun at a B&M but I don't dress up so I can't justify the purchase. I adore the ruffles!

    Tonight for dinner - City luxe trouser cords in ivory, Quinn cami, Ivory Cardigan, Metallic skinny belt in gold, snowball & twisted crystal necklace.

  12. Gold matchstick cords and light spearmint long sleeve perfect fit tee (love this color combo). Ugg slippers (I am at home snowed in with the kiddos--making sugar cookies!) I will switch to jammies in a bit, but the matchstick cords are just as comfortable as pjs! We have a RARE White Christmas in the Pacific NW. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

    Alexis, you outfit sounds gorgeous- love Simone peacoat-so unique!

  17. Linda, I bought Lulu's in flats too- aren't they fabulous? How is the fit for you? They are a tad tight on me but I hope they will loosen with time.

  18. It will be a pretty casual day for us. So, I'll be wearing the luxe cord trousers in gray and the bow necklace cardigan in navy with the city suede ballet flats. My 2 1/2 yr old daughter will be wearing the cord jumper in ivory with a turtleneck and leggings.

    Merry Christmas to all!!!!

  19. Today I wore my cotton belle taffeta skirt in dark fog with grey tights and my cashmere snowman sweater from a season or two ago - all J.Crew except the shoes.

    Tonight and tomorrow I am wearing my white, red and green plaid J.Crew PJs from last year and a white tissue tee. I did buy some other PJs this year but these are so Christmas-like.

    Tomorrow I am wearing my bright rubarb Francie skirt with a merino v-neck sweater and a cami underneath and my Maggie in camel as outerwear with some brown sold tights.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah everyone!

  21. Tonight was pretty casual at my place with the family. The only thing I wore from JCrew was the Perfect Fit Flower Tank in petal and the metallic skinny belt in silver. I had a cable knit cardigan from Abercrombie and Citizens jeans. It was comfy...tomorrow? I don't know yet. So far I've got a couple GC to eventually redeem, yay!

  22. It's been a JCrew week so far, so why break it off now?

    Sunday dinner with the inlaws-Madeline dress in deep eggplant (love!) With the grey and black herringbone tights and last year's black patent mary janes.

    Monday at the office and then holiday-tinis with the girlfriends-stretch wool pencil skirt in heather grey (high waisted and a fit to die for), silk watercolor lydia ruffled tank, black tights and peeptoe spectator pumps in graphite.

    Tues at the office-grey and black houndstooth university trousers, salina patent leather flats in dark poppy, white victoria ruffled blouse and black velvet ecole jacket.

    Christmas eve at the office/dinner with the parents- cotton taffeta skirt in bright berry, Lea cardigan in navy with perfect fit cami in navy, grey and black herringbone tights and lulu peeptoes in dark cloud.

    I'm currently wearing the men's reindeer union suit in bed and my husband is wearing the green and grey striped union suit (finding your way around them is a great way to add some "holiday spice"!)

    Christmas day at home with the family-holiday red bootcut cords, sweet ruffled top in yellow, and penelope flats in metallic silver.

    Safe and happy holidays to all!

  23. Christmas Eve - snowflake tee, past season's wild orchid Jackie cardigan, toothpick jeans and last year's Tenley midboots.

    Christmas Day - Victoria white ruffle blouse, opera-length pearls with two David Yurman necklaces to mimic the website look, the lighter coloured pembridge dot skirt and crackle metallic mary janes in sherbet.

    My husband loves the pink mary janes and I have to say the Christmas day outfit is very festive and very sexy too. Love my JCrew looks!

    Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah everyone.

OH, this is ANON at 1:14 - wearing today with the grey chunky star pullover sweater: my daughter gave me the silver poinsettia necklace from Banana Republic for Christmas, and my husband gave me a gorgeous 40" long silver DY chain necklace with grey and white pearls! Perfect (I was already dressed before I opened the presents! ;-)

  30. Does anyone own the boucle penny jacket and if so, do you find it super boxy? Has anyone tried taking it in? I don't know if that would ruin how the jacket hangs - but I can't stand the boxiness as is.

  31. Hi everyone,
    I just spoke to my niece who is a SA at the Michigan ave store in Chicago and she said tomorrow everything is 30% off. Not sure if that means everything or just sale items and also not sure if that will include online items.

    ReplyDelete
  32. thanks for the info, joangee.

    although 30% off, considering that just before christmas everything was 20% off, doesn't sound that impressive.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Merry Christmas to you all!

    I am wearing my Francie skirt (dark peony), merino turtle & glass-button cardigan (champagne), wavy glass necklace and garden bracelet (pink). I am making a cake & cookies and have already spread flour all over my J.Crews:)

  34. JCrew cashmere socks and a smile...

  35. How about a thread where we list any J. Crew items we got as gifts? :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. colettenoelle - too funny. We think alike. I sent Alexis an e-mail suggesting the same thing earlier this afternoon! It would be a good topic.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Does anyone out there know what's next for arrivals at J Crew? We pretty much gathered up enough winter goods from the additional 50% off sale back in November, through the 25% anytime use coupon for a few weeks, and then the TURKEY codes, free shipping, Christmas gifts for everyone, etc.

    Time for some new merchandise????

  38. All - your outfits sounded lovely! I know I'm a bit late with this post, but it's been very hectic for me these past few days! I am just now catching up! On Christmas Eve I wore my Double Serge pencil skirt in Ivory, a red off the shoulder cashmere sweater (from Ann Taylor), and tall black Via Spiga boots. Christmas day I wore the green Sparkle Plaid Tweed skirt, a black seamless cami with novelty trim, black crystal button cashmere cardigan (both from Ann Taylor), and tall black Via Spiga boots. Happy Holidays to all!

  39. I wore my taffeta A-line skirt in warm taupe with my Haley foil cardigan in oatmeal. I wore a heather grey tissue tee underneath (possible color faux pas). I wore knee-high Aran socks in white because I was freezing! And I use any excuse to wear my pink foil ballet slippers.

  40. I missed out on purchasing the Madeline dress but am hoping I might find a return at a store. I wear a size 2 in jackets, blazers, coats at J Crew and a size 2 or 4 in pants and skirts. I don't own any J Crew dresses. I read somewhere that the Madeline dress runs big, but when I look at the measurements, I'm not quite sure... I'm almost 5'5" and small chested (32B)... Any advice on what size I should look for?? A 2? 4 petite? or smaller? I'd Really appreciate any advice since it will be a final sale if I find one. Thanks so much!
