If it hadn't been for some great menswear deals (and the fact that my son and husband need clothes - not me) I would not have been excited by the sales. It is funny that I keep checking the sale page in the morning, but then remember there isn't anything I really like in womens. bythelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802033997520422569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-74214359090231543972019-01-16T08:10:49.616-05:002019-01-16T08:10:49.616-05:00In store they can stack, but online the codes don&...In store they can stack, but online the codes don't work together, which is frustrating.

The majority of the JCAs who have the wardrobes and had the experience you describe are are gone, too.

It's so sad to see this brand literally destroyed. The few pieces I kept this season were mere shadows of the old J Crew self. I don't see this brand coming back.

Thankful for that since they get grown out of ;)<br /><br />Received the poppy flats in jungle cat and plaid. They look well made, not cheap at all. Comfy on, but how durable they'll be I can't say.<br /><br />Also received the stalked strappy heels with raffia bow. Previously sized way down based on reviews, which wasn't accurate in my case. Oh gosh, I'm so grateful to have these. I would get a back-up pair. I do have a new 6.5 if anyone is interested.

With these, an A-line skirt or fit-and-flare dress. Not sure if it's in, but I'm attracted to that silhouette. Over skinny jeans or leggings will be a more practical way to wear them in an everyday way. What did you think of the quality, Katherine? I think they feel pretty luxurious. I would want to make sure I'd get enough wear to justify keeping something like this, too. farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276016792629249178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-35005863550541178452019-01-15T20:58:14.823-05:002019-01-15T20:58:14.823-05:00Well, I would have to agree that new arrivals don&...Well, I would have to agree that new arrivals don't provide the same old thrill- and there is no gorgeous on-location catalog to lust over. The irony for me is that J.Crew had a large role in teaching me about fabrics and fashion and trained me to expect more- higher quality and better style. And now that I've been trained to look for Irish linen and Italian shoes and Japanese denim and English Tweed... they want me to buy a nylon sweater and a polyester dress.<br /><br />@Unknown, I sympathize with you on feeling the ordering and returning is wasteful. I really dislike returning things. On the other side of it, J.Crew has made me pickier about so many things, and combined with a lifestyle change over to less is more, I think I've done better overall shopping at J.Crew. The time and resources spent returning things, though- I do get you.farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276016792629249178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-53684029960137374852019-01-15T20:16:45.174-05:002019-01-15T20:16:45.174-05:00That sounds nice!
