Not quite on par with JC but I tried on a pair of kick-flare crop jeans at Target the other day from the Who What Wear line. These were SO CUTE on, I can't even tell you. They had the right amount of stretch & were the most perfect dark blue shade of denim. The rise was nice - mid-rise, not too low nor too high. I would have bought them in an instant had I figured out what kind of shoe I'd wear with them once the weather got colder! Maybe it was the length that was throwing me off (I'm 5'7" but I couldn't see them looking right with flats OR booties.)
ReplyDeleteAlso continuing to have mad love for Gap's slim crop pants. A pair in olive popped back in my size last weekend & for $20, they're on their way to me now. I also received a pair in the beautiful burgundy / maroon colorway & wore them last week. They're perfect! They look $$$ but they're machine wash. They have belt loops, mid-rise, a nice slim (not skinny) leg. The inseam is great as well - 27" for regular which is perfect for me to wear whatever kind of shoe I want. I think they've changed these from a few years ago as I did have a few pairs in the same style but don't remember being so happy with them as I am with the ones I have bought recently.
I also love Gap's slim crop pants. I tried a pair in black first and I was surprised by the quality and fit. Purchased the olive last week which popped back in my size too. I'm hoping for the maroon, but I don't think I'll be as lucky as you. The pockets are see through in the white, just in case anyone's curious.
DeleteIt's Friends & Family at Lands End and 30% off your order. Worth a look for high quality basics and cashmere if you steer clear of the frumpier styles. Good coats, too.
ReplyDeleteI received my order from Zady yesterday (referred to the website by a JCA last week during a great sale). It felt like I was opening a gift, everything was so nicely packaged-the most nicely packaged order I've ever gotten. The good: all the third-party items I ordered were keepers, which tells me they do a strong job of curating their offerings. The not as good: neither Zady clothing item I ordered was a win. The tee was soft and had some great ideas, but it had some discoloration and reminded me of a scrub top (vneck was super high). The wool sweater was a bit rough and oddly shaped. It was final sale. The shoulders appear to be almost pleated, which isn't super flattering; I'm hoping that's from being folded, and that a wash will loosen them up.
ReplyDeleteTory Burch has extra 30% off if you spend $250 (Code: Fall16); 30% off is also deducted from sale items. Bauble Bar has 25% off; discovered the brand @ Nordstrom & love the Lagos tassel earrings & the Hera tassel earrings; nice substitute for J Crew tassel earrings @ under $40.
