They did not create the concept of "rash guard bikinis" but they definitely get credit for bringing it mainstream. That said, I don't wear long sleeves at the beach and I don't surf (although I wish I did). Now, as far as the Birkenstock thing- PLEASE! I wore Birks in the 90s like everyone else. They may go in and out of obvious style, but people who find them comfortable never stopped wearing them. Also, J.Crew sells only a few kinds and, like most of their partnerships, you are not getting a deal. If you go to Zappos, you will find more styles and always free shipping.The American Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07670206738114517664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-30514333133600405672014-05-22T00:13:37.446-04:002014-05-22T00:13:37.446-04:00I just saw that too…very cool Alexis.I just saw that too…very cool Alexis.JRSConiferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267439414300795711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-55669916550618490152014-05-21T06:38:41.899-04:002014-05-21T06:38:41.899-04:00Thanks for sharing that!

This spring, when the navy Evie sandals sold out early (re-stocked now), I assumed I had lost out.<br /><br />So imagine my surprise when I went into DSW and found many Evie-like sandals in a full range of colors from several brands. And some of them were last year's styles!<br /><br />So much for J Crew being out in front of trends and being the only store to offer styles that appeal to me.cousyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321886213526230764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-82288558679065456252014-05-20T09:21:30.268-04:002014-05-20T09:21:30.268-04:00Good point, Awakening, about promoting rash guards...Good point, Awakening, about promoting rash guards.

If J Crew can get young people to wear a rash guard and protect themselves from skin cancer while in the sun then I can forgive their silly advertising campaign! I bought a few of their rash guards on super sale last year and use them for gardening and hiking as well as the beach.Awakening my Wardrobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657836778192537111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-62668337339959533132014-05-20T08:24:41.422-04:002014-05-20T08:24:41.422-04:00Hey!

Something like "hey, we invented it!" or "get it here first" encourages the consumer to buy something to be at the peak of the seasons trends. What ever happened to letting the product speak for itself? <br /><br />-Katherine<br />http://thegreenbows.blogspot.caKatherine L https://www.blogger.com/profile/00618047985431671716noreply@blogger.com
