JCA "Help Style Me!" Weekly Post

This is the weekly "Help Style Me!" post, where we can share items we are having trouble putting outfits together with. Elaine (in this post) says it best, "You know, that thing you bought because you love it and you keep pulling it out and then putting it away without wearing it?"

Please share your J.Crew item (either that you own or are thinking about getting) that you would love help creating an outfit with.

Also, please help out by offering your styling advice. Feel free to include links to your blog (where you incorporated that piece) or to Polyvore (where you showcased an outfit with that piece). Thanks in advance! :)

    For the first time ever, when I clicked on a product link (Jeweled-shoulder sweater), I received the message, "We're sorry, this product cannot be shipped internationally". I am in Canada, and I have never encountered this before (and I am a fairly regular J.Crew online shopper). Does anyone know why they are restricting certain items internationally?

      No clue, however I did see this sweater in a Canadian store.

      Usually they restrict some items because of the content - such as python skirt, bag, etc.

      I would call a VPS and ask her/him to ship it for you. If you need a VPS, e-mail me and can recommend you one.

    I am in love with my new "Collection café capri in tattersall" pants (navy with the orange stripes) however now that I have them I'm not sure how to style them - help! I don't want them to just sit in my closet all fall

      Love these pants - since the pants are busy, I would stick to navy, white, ivory, black, etc on top if you're planning to wear them to a somewhat more conservative workplace.

    ohh, I have been eyeing those. Would you mind filling me in on fit? TTS, etc.?

    If I purchased, one combo I though would be cute is a gray peplum sweater and leopard pumps.

    I normally buy petite and they didn't offer them in petite so I did get them taken in but I believe they were pretty TTS. I like the idea of a peplum top making it more feminine since the pants feel more "menswear-ish" to me - Thanks for idea!

    OT but I have a review of graphic 3/4 sleeve t-shirt with bird print. It is not yet online so I guess it is coming in the new rollout. I actually liked it enough to buy it (in the concept store) even if it is rather overpriced. See it HERE

      Hi Gigi,

      Thanks for this info. Do you know if this add'l 50 off will be just in store, or to online orders as well?

      Thanks again for the heads up. Either way, I'll plan a visit to my neighbourhood B&M!

      R - I was told that it is in-store. I would be really surprised if it were online.

      Hi J.CrewJD! I have the petite version of the skirt in black, and the style number is 80273. It's from Holiday 2006. I don't know what the item number for the regular length is, but you can see the catalog pic of it in this JCA post from 2010. The skirt is in the 3rd catalog image. :)

    FFM, thank you SO much! You're the best!!! I bought it on eBay today, so excited that it's from Holiday 2006. One of the best seasons ever for J.Crew. I won it on eBay today since J.Crew refuses to put out a navy wool non suiting skirt!

      You are welcome, and congratulations on getting the skirt! The quality is excellent, and as you said, it is from one of the best seasons ever for J.Crew. I'm sure you're going to love it! :)
