Happy Valentine's Day! {celebrating w/ J.Crew?}

Happy Valentine's Day J.Crew Aficionadas & Aficionados!

I know I have mentioned this before, but I l-o-v-e these posts. It is really interesting to hear what other Aficionadas and Aficionados plan on wearing, since it gives me lots of wonderful ideas for future outfits. So for this post, what we are planning to wear on Valentine's Day? :)

As for me, I am going with some simplicity. I am going to wear a pair of J.Crew's Vintage Slim Jeans with their Victoria Ruffle Cami in Bright Fuschia, topped with J.Crew's Perfect Fit Cardigan in White.

What are you planning to wear this Valentine's Day? Are you planning to go "head to toe" J.Crew or parts J.Crew?

  1. I'll be casual today, probably my matchsticks and whatever I can find to wear on top that's pink or red. My son's home sick from school, and I have the most un-romantic husband on the planet. Oh well! I'm living vicariously through all of you today -- tell me something good. ...

  2. Not wearing any jcrew today (anthro and vintage), but I did wear my buffalo check seberg jacket and confetti bateau top on Sunday (oldies but goodies!).

  4. JC Kelly 3/4 sleeve button-down in white
    Talbots Tres Jolie skirt in mink
    Talbots Antique Rose patent pumps
    JC wide patent belt in dusty rose - not a perfect match with the shoes, but close enough

    Happy Valentine's Day, Alexis and the JCA's (sounds like a band)!

  5. Happy V-Day to you and yours, Alexis!

    I actually am in head-to-toe Crew today - the marled thandie blazer, striped perfect shirt and ikat floral bungalow skirt! And is it just me or are these bungalow skirts SHORT?!

  6. Off topic, when do you think the next update will be? I noticed there wasn,t one this morning. I was hoping for a big update and some LOVE from the 'crew with a juicy discount code, but not luck.

  7. Since we did dinner a week ago, for work I'm wearing the J.Crew Giant Gingham button-up, Navy Allura Shift dress in Superfine cotton, nude pumps, and topped off with a pink flower pin from J.Crew last summer.

    Plus as a bonus my sweetie gave me a $50 J.Crew gift card as a gift as we walked through the door of the store yesterday while shopping. He's the best.

  8. we don't celebrate v-day, but i'm wearing a salmon orange ruffled button down blouse from the limited with a a j.crew black & cream herringbone pencil skirt with a velvet waist tie- anyone know what season/year this skirt is from? i snagged it brand new with tags on at a second hand store

    ReplyDelete
  9. Happy Valentine's Day Alexis!

    I actually do have on J. Crew today, the ruffled tartine cardigan and perfect fit tank in pink from a couple seasons ago paired with some J. Crew Super 120's black slacks.

    ReplyDelete
  10. How did I not even think to dress Valentines-y? I will change to this outfit present the red velvet cupcake I got for hubbie tonight. (we're not going to do V-day celebrations today, already had a nice breakfast yesterday and will go out this week, don't need to deal with crowds!)

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm wearing the double-serge pencil in bright dahlia (hot pink) with the white Victoria ls blouse, light gray tights, Chie Mihara kalu tau shoes in gray, diamond studs and the tiffany heart key necklace that my husband gave me on Friday because he couldn't wait until today. :^)

    I love the bright dahlia color and was so on the fence whether to buy the Lolli pants but I know I will get much more mileage out of the pencil skirt than a pair of cropped, unlined wool pants, especially given my sensitivity to wool. That's just me though, maybe some other JCAs are rocking the hot pink Lollis today.

    OT - since today is a romantic day I wanted to mention that Goody has some styling pins available that are really easy to use for creating up-dos. They are called "simple styles" and there are a few different types, a style guide is included in each package to show you how to use them. They are so simple to use and come in different colors so they blend into your hair. If any JCAs find it too challenging to create an up-do without help and a million bob-pins, give these a try. I am able to create the whole do with the one or two pins in each package, very easy and fun.

    ReplyDelete
  12. xoxo - thanks for the OT info on the Goody simple style pins. I have long thick hair and had been wondering about those. I'll have to give them a try!

    As far as my Valentine's Day outfit goes, I'm still in my morning gym-wear. I'm sure I'll be changing into something JC for Valentine's Day!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Last night: French Silk twill Vionette tank dress, jewel-button cardigan, pearls, teuta mid-heels, and, later, engagement ring! I guess after 13 years, we're going to last!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Top is J Crew (a tee and the honey tweed jacket) and the bottom is Loft pants.

    Happy Valentine's Day to all!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Purple boot-cut cords, seashell pink ruffle tank top (Loft, not J.Crew) and a red Wellesley 3/4 sleeve cardi. Tied together with a plaid purple tie belt! I've never tried red and purple together before, but there is a red thread in the belt that makes it work...

    ReplyDelete
  16. xoxo, your outfit sounds lovely!

    We are just going out for a normal, non valentine's day dinner but I will surely use it as an excuse to dress in some J.Crew lovelies. Perhaps the wide patent belt in dusty rose, my short sleeved cashmere tee in bright red, or bright plum perfect pencil skirt will be making an appearance. Haven't decided yet... but it will definitely be all J.Crew!

    OT, but I just received a hand written thank you note from Land's End Canvas for placing an order. This was a tiny, all-clearance-with-extra-percent-off order, totally not meriting a thank you note, lol! It says, "Emily, Just a note to thank you for your purchase and remind you that everything is Guaranteed Period. If you have any questions or need help in any way, please let one of us know. Our e-mail is nick@landsendcanvas.com.

  17. Lolli pants, black suede Juliet pumps, novo wrap top and black jacket. About as Valentines-y as I can get...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Congratulations Fidele!
    Traveling today, dinner out yesterday & only JC was beloved Studded Tweed Invitation Clutch, which got an inordinate amount of attention from every female staff member at the restaurant. Yay for JC !

  19. fidele, best wishes to you and your fiance.

    Firefighter Wife, my hair is really thick and I have used both the spin pins and the modern updo maker with great success. You can see them in action here.

    J.CrewJD, I love the idea of red with bright plum, especially if it is a bluish red. I am going to carry my red Peyton bag with turquoise lining the next time I wear the bright plum pencil. Thanks for the inspiration.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Fidele Congratulations!! How exciting. Will you be wearing a JCrew wedding dress? ;)

    Head to toe JCrew for dinner out with MrBP. All JCrew 2008: Poppy Red Coat (Carlin or predecessor), watercolor ("Mcleod" I think) red silk skirt, white silk blouse with big buttons up back, (2007 I want to say Joelle), and the Juliet heels in Red Patent. And my JC double-strand of pearls.
    If anyone has a correction on the names of items please share. I've had so much crewlade in my life you'd think I'd know but oh well.

    Have a great day JCA's.

  21. JC Infinity Cardi in barn Red, Loft beaded lace tee and Loft boyfriend jeans with JC cap toe ballet flats in bronze. Maybe a madewell scarf, too!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I am not planning on going out tonight, just dinner in with the husband. but I am wearing JCrew in the office! Charcoal Minnies with a bright pink Painter's Tee and white Jackie. I am wearing a necklace from a few seasons ago, it's a teardrop shaped pendant that is covered in pink crystals. My shoes aren't JCrew but they are cute, black and pink tweed heels from LEI with bows on the strap.

    ReplyDelete
  23. As usual, I love reading everyone's outfits. Thank you all so much for sharing. :)

    silver_lining: It totally sounds like a band (like Josie & the PussyCats). ;)

    Fidele: Congratulations!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Today (at work) I'm wearing my bronze ochre perfect pencil skirt and mossy oak dulphine open cardigan (with a silky F21 top underneath), along with the Rhapsody hobo (a pop-back score) I got for V-day.

    Happy VD everyone! [Eww, that doesn't sounds too good, does it?]

    ReplyDelete
  25. Not wearing Crew today. It's been awhile since Crew had anything in a true red...Am wearing red Gap flats with studded bows though. (Rest is Gap, Loft and Charter Club red cardi).

    Have a great day everyone! We're not doing anything special but I did make DS a little gift bag w/candy and prizes. He will be so excited!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Since my husband left to live across the country and now won't even send me an email, I think I'll just stay in my pajamas (which are from Coz in the UK and not J Crew). I hate Valentine's Day this year even more than I usually do.

    ReplyDelete
  27. fidele - Congratulations on your engagement!!

    So many cute outfits. We don't celebrate v-day either, but I'm cooking a nice meal. When I go to the store, I'll probably wear my red Talbots boyfriend cardigan w/a striped top & jeans. We're getting rain anyway, so I'll leave my pretty little Lulus for another day.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Congrats Fidele! Which vionette dress were you wearing?

    xoxo, please send your husband here to give mine lessons! Also, I am VERY intrigued by these Goody hair thingies. I look forward to trying them! Usually I'm hopeless at things like that.

    Mia, I'm sending you a big ol' hug from the cow country of North Carolina!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm inspired. This evening I'm just headed to a cafe with a friend, but I'm throwing on my olive Victoria Cami with my navy Wool Hacking Jacket over some old matchsticks. Happy Valentine's Day, Aficionadas!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Wish I could edit my comment! Just wanted to note how I'm subbing my Anthropologie Cartography Cardigan for the Wool Hacking Jacket because the brown motif will compliment the olive and I don't want too much navy going on.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Eliane, the Goody hair things totally work and they are so easy. I don't have the ideal hair type for them but they even work on my fine hair.

    Gigi, the pink lulus with red bow would be SO perfect.... if it wasn't a slushy mess outside from all the melting snow here/rain that you're getting.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Happy Valentine's Day Alexis & JCA's! I'm wearing the Collection wool boucle pencil skirt (in rose), cashmere crewneck cardi in heather honeycomb with an ivory seamless cami, the Autumn leaf earrings in the topaz color, and Tory Burch camel tall boots. Since the weather is so mild in NY today (for the first time in many months, please last!), I topped it off with the stadium cloth peacoat in golden sunflower, it's such a happy color!

    @ Mia - sending you a hug, too, from NY!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Alexis-I love your outfit!

    I'm wearing my Factory Double Serge pencil skirt which is similar to the Bright Dahlia color. Paired it with a light blue perfect fit tank and a white lace blouse from the Limited. Shoes are the grey Juliennes.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I am head to toe JC today. I wore the cardi from last year with the pink flowers on it (also came with blue flowers - can't remember the name), a green tee, pink favorite fit chinos, and pink/green ballet flats (that I've had for years).

    ReplyDelete
  35. Busted out this outfit with the pinkish Peekaboo sequin cardi for the first time at work today. Happy to have a little sparkle in the office!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Gap Always Skinny jeans, the J.Crew Mixed Lawn shirt, a one-of-a-kind black disc Indian necklace and my beloved Kenneth Cole cognac colored, distressed boots with a 3.5 inch heel (We celebrated V-Day last night, when I wore a Crew taffeta mini skirt, Crew Japanese cotton tank and a Bloomingdale's cashmere hoodie).

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh as for colors: the mixed lawn shirt is grey, the jeans are blue...last night, the skirt was black, the tank was grey and the hoodie was black...I don't do much pink or red.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Celebrated V-day dinner (casual) Saturday night. Wore AF red/blue plaid red flannel with red half-zip TH sweater and TH white pants (yeah, I trashed this rule) and brown penny loafers and JCrew navy peacoat.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Elaine, I think you and I are living in parallel worlds! Your post could have been mine word for word today! lol! I did dash out for a couple quick errands and wore the JC Alpaca long open cardigan w/my Joe's jeggings and JC boots.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Aw after reading all the lovely stories, it made me smile. Happy V-day Alexis and to you all! Mia, hope your evening improves!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I really wore this :) ... shocking pink JC matchstick cords and the Crewcuts tee with the neon pink sequin heart and bright poppy red Juliet midheels (would have worn my pink Lulus except my toes weren't ready for peep toes ;) wish I could find lipstick as red and as glossy and indestructible on lips as the patent leather) and Lady Day coat in poppy red! It was so cold in my office I wore my coat for most of the day.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Today I wore a the softspun sunrise dress in orchid rose, with a black banana republic tights, patent bow leather flats, and a heart tommy hilfiger bangle. He wore a red buffalo check shirt. :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hi Elaine -- It was the grey vionette tank dress. My favorite. He couldn't pick it out of a crowd, though!
