However, I've never worn it and it's still sitting on my closet with it's tags on.

I absolutely LOVE wearing the shift and I get several compliments every single time I wear it. <br /><br />I too agree about the Jackie cardigan--like most JCAs I must own about 13 different jackies :) They're a huge staple in my wardrobe.<br /><br />Also, any of their vintage cords!

I wear this everyday and actually have two in case I lose one (bought the second after losing the first, then found it) and I get compliments on it all the time. People can't believe it's J.Crew.<br /><br />2) Wool herringbone Ella dress. Universally flattering and I love that it has those little straps inside to hold your bra. I wear it to work with the dream tie neck cardi in black, then take the cardi off to turn it into a night look. Hoping to find it in a 0 since my 2 has gotten too big so if anyone has one to sell, please let me know!<br /><br />3) Strapless rose abstract print dress. Never connected with this in my size so I can't say how it fit, but I loved the styling and the print.<br /><br />4) Lulu peep toe pumps in dark cloud. I'm hesitant to include these because mine did not even last one season, but they were soooo pretty while they did.<br /><br />5) I can't believe I'm throwing wedding pieces in here, but... the Vivian gown from a few years ago is by far the nicest simple wedding dress I have ever seen - love that box pleat! - and very reasonably priced for such an item at $695.<br /><br />Honorable mentions: Birdcage necklace (also wear this everyday - simple but LOVE it) and the jersey stripe scarf they are currently selling. I bought all 3 prints and I love this scarf soooo much. Super versatile and inexpensively priced.Darahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03067813535182618115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-15783097814379567352009-10-21T14:49:53.675-04:002009-10-21T14:49:53.675-04:00Casey,

Also agree on the spectator peep toes, which I think are the most comfortable, wearable heels I've ever set foot in, and Jasper, the amazing Jaspe hoodie. The rest of my top spots are tied between other cardi loves, last year's Lea (I think it was called, with the cool buttons), a featherweight cashmere 3/4 sleeve with front pintucking, and an OLD love, boiled wool zip up with zip pockets. Then I'd have to put my pink Frankie bag. But a spot has to go to a jersey dress, I've been a sucker for them for years! I love the Adelaide, the Parlor, the Sara, pretty much anything with an empire waist and soft flowy fabric is a contender for me. And of course, my much worn Lille from last winter... Maybe I'd have to do top ten or twenty...CheesyGoodnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778110564941632746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-70565890361452747272009-10-21T10:30:05.183-04:002009-10-21T10:30:05.183-04:00On my list:

If anyone has a size 4 they're willing to part with, I promise to give the dress a good home.<br /><br />OT: in an article in today's NYTimes ("At the Office, a Job Well Done," by Cintra Wilson), there's this line: 'Clothing companies, when they panic, tend to go rococo. They get flashier, busier and more disposable by slapping on bigger logos and more useless bows and frippery.' This article was a (positive) review of AT, but this line did make me think of the too-many-ruffles/sparkles/embellishments tendency currently plaguing J.
