I recently picked up a pretty Banana Republic shirtdress. See the review here.
ReplyDeleteSome Anthro reviews here.
ReplyDeleteSome J.Crew-like items in this post.
ReplyDeleteI love my LEC heritage cardigans so much that I've pretty much stopped wearing/thrown away my Jackie cardis. The LEC cardis have much nicer buttons and wash much better. Too bad Lands' End discontinued the style.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try the J.Crew Tippi cardigan next. I notice the description mentions shell buttons...
i have two and love them! green and navy. wish i had gotten a few more...
DeleteAnthropologie is running free ship promo on $100+, last day is today. Use: YOUFIRST code.
ReplyDeleteI reviewed absolutely gorgeous must have Damia chemise dress here.

ReplyDeleteI've been wearing my cotton shirtdresses from ll bean signature (plaid) and madewell (stripes) all the time.
ReplyDeleteGap also came out with a polka dot chambray shirt, looks similar to J.Crew's but with bigger polka dots and a pocket.

Talbot's Red Hanger Sale just started. Some nice Crew-like items. I just ordered the Painterly Floral Pencil Skirt for $55! http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi28857&rootCategory=cat90030&catId=cat80016&sortKey=Default§ion=Sale&conceptIdUnderSale=cat90030
ReplyDeleteI just have to give a shout out to American Eagle's skinny jeans! I love the look of J Crew's Toothpick, but the fabric is so stiff and has no give at all. With muscular legs, they are just too uncomfortable to wear (I feel sucked into them!). But I just discovered how fantastic the fit is on AE's skinny jeans, plus they have some really cute colors too (very similare to J Crew's offerings)! They have 2% elastine, so there is more give, and the denim is a lighter weight as well--super nice for summer. The rise is a little lower, but not anything crazy. I wear a sz.2 in J Crew pants and 27 in Matchsticks, and the sz.4 fit perfectly in AE. Plus at only $45, you can buy 2 colors for what one of J Crew's costs!
ReplyDeleteI like AE jeans but I actually like Abercrombie skinny jeans better. Similar fit but prettier washes.
DeleteFor white skinny jeans, I like Boden's best. The AE fit well but they were too see through.
100% agree on the AE jeans. They are the most comfortable pair I own! I have a dark denim pair, pink, and coral.
ReplyDeleteGarnet Hill is having a 30% off plus free shipping on all women's clothing. The 30% applies to sale items too.
ReplyDeleteI ordered two dress, both by Velvet: the Viktoria Knit dress and Darrin dress. The Darrin looks like the Boden Twist Jersey top made into a dress.
Forgot to mention - the sale runs through July 2nd.
Delete@ObsessedWShopping, thanks for pointing out the Gap chambray polka dot shirt. I liked this one better than JC's version - a little heavier, and I liked the bigger dots. If you do one of those surveys on a Gap receipt (within 5 days of purchase), you get a 20% off code for 1 full-priced item. It brings the shirt down to about $40 - less than half the price of JC's apparently now sold out version.
