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! :)
Last winter I purchased the wide leg wool pants in black and the dramatic long length meant I could only wear them with really high heels. I had considered hemming them and finally did. I know there was another wide leg wool pant in a cropped length, but I wasn't crazy about the pleats of that version.
ReplyDeleteI opted to hem them to just about the ankle bone so I could wear them with heels or flats. I really loved the full length, but just putting these on at the new length, they felt kind of fresh.
I have a nautical themed event next week and I expect it will be chilly, so I'll wear a blazer over a sleeveless top (I think the wool peplum). (It's not a costume party but I thought my star Elsies would be a fun element—coincidentally the blue matches the trim inside the Rhodes blazer). I posted my black blazer options on IG. @wearthislikethis.
(My mom already said she hates the blue star pumps with the black, but since I'll be wearing all black and they fit the theme, I think I'm going for it, quirky as it may seem.)
Off topic but a lot of items moved to the 50% off sale section today. Too bad they are all summer and I don't want or need any of it. Wish there were some new markdowns.
ReplyDeleteI was told there will be markdowns in store tonight. They didn't do them on Tuesday but there should be some new markdowns in store and online tomorrow.
DeleteThanks DD!!!
DeleteIs there a 50% off sale section? I don't see it.
Delete@shopgrrrl, it should be at the bottom of the landing page for the Sale section (the one that directs you to 'Women/Men/kids, etc.' It's at the bottom of this page (at least on the US site - not sure what it looks like for the Canadian site.) I think all the stuff in this section is usually Final Sale.
DeleteThanks, I see it now, but I swear it wasn't there this morning! I was using my phone, many the mobile site wasn't showing the red 50% off link or something. I'm on my iPad now.
DeleteOT: Madewell skinny jeans... same size as jcrew toothpicks? or do they run smaller?
ReplyDeleteI usually buy Madewell jeans and find I always have to size up at J Crew. Madewell jeans are shorter though! Regular fits my short legs perfectly!
DeleteOT - Congratulations to Wendy who recvd printed copies of the book she wrote. I'm so excited for her I can barely type. Visit this Instavid where she shares it & you can hear her voice.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Wendy!! So nice to hear your voice. Book looks so enticing!
DeleteCongratulations, Wendy, that is so exciting!!
DeleteCheck the website and in store. There are definitely going to be markdowns tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhat time do you think markdowns will be on the web??? Just browsed kinda look same
ReplyDeleteSame here, nothing that I've been stalking from the spring/summer sale section has been marked down as of this morning.
DeleteAll colors in the Sammie are now on sale, going to pick up another pair in Khaki, a liberty popover and a necklace that I have been watching.
DeleteI've shared an outfit I wore not too long ago on my blog today is this post: What I Wore.... The look includes my Madewell Outbound Jacket from several years ago that continues to be in constant rotation in my wardrobe, especially in spring and fall.
ReplyDeleteI've shared a review, styling idea, and IRL pic of the Icon Trench in Plaid Italian Wool on my blog today: Simplified Style... J.Crew Icon Trench in Plaid Italian Wool. The Lucite Heels in Velvet are also included in the look, along with IRL pics - absolutely love the shoes! So comfy plus a great neutral, too.
ReplyDeleteI shared some fall work looks on my blog featuring the camel Regent blazer, Cocoon coat, cotton Margot blouse as well as some older J.Crew blazers and Banana Republic Sloan pants. I've shared these on Instagram over the past few weeks but if you missed it you can see the post on my blog here.
