How many times did they do that). It lacked the wow factor, IMO (I am not even talking about wearability.) I personally like the sateen shorts but they look very occasion-y, ad everything that is at least mildly exciting in the Collection.Emahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331051805268660458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-88981100995232282602016-09-12T17:21:22.047-04:002016-09-12T17:21:22.047-04:00My apologies to those of you who love/like this 20...My apologies to those of you who love/like this 2017 Spring collection. I keep looking at all the pics posted and cannot find one item I would want or need in my wardrobe.<br />I have been shopping J. Crew for many, many years and with every new collection there was always so many pieces that I couldn't wait to buy. Now in each roll out it's always the same old same old. Quality has not gotten better. It is disappointing and frustrating! I loved J. Crew. It stood for beautifully tailored pieces with creative details. Sorry but those ruffles on the skirts and big flowers just don't do it for me! I would love to hear what others have to say!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817663969975797314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-91158206911049446162016-09-12T14:32:36.545-04:002016-09-12T14:32:36.545-04:00ITA with @jan and @Ema.

What's with the Little House on the Prairie skirts, the off the shoulder tops and in general shapeless oversized clothes.<br />I'm sure I'll find things to love at J Crew come spring, just not what is shown here.fleur de lyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955436872224319708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-21306596321707621922016-09-11T22:12:48.296-04:002016-09-11T22:12:48.296-04:00I know Fashion Week tends to be especially editori...I know Fashion Week tends to be especially editorial but I always find a print or style or two I am excited about. This time I'm confused and disappointed. The off the shoulder silhouette is going to look very dated by next Spring and the ruffley exaggerated styles and big flowers aren't very wearable IMO. And wear are the lovely colors and prints?<br /><br />I haven't been buying much of late and therefore haven't had much to contribute here vs. years past, but the Tippi Turtleneck, Long Downtown Field and Drake prints brought me back this season. I hope there will be more to build on that momentum for me but not today.

Um, no.
J Crew is..."Polished comfort"? Um, no. <br /><br />J Crew is really stuck right now. The offerings are either really boring/dowdy or unwearable because of proportion and cut. I'm not finding much to buy. I've seen some good stuff at Brooks Brothers recently (shocking I know), and that's filling in the J Crew gap in my shopping habit.cousyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321886213526230764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-1015874592252364052016-09-11T21:07:00.263-04:002016-09-11T21:07:00.263-04:00I'm going to look at it again but I agree it&#...I'm going to look at it again but I agree it's not what I expected or hoped for. It doesn't look like fashion show material to me and seems quite repetitive of this year (surprised to see a Pajama top and off the shoulder items in there). I've been more excited for past shows, disappointing because the expectations for somsack were high and jcrew needs to do well. janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257918991247030517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-3138074147625812072016-09-11T20:51:05.010-04:002016-09-11T20:51:05.010-04:00I agree, I am not digging it at all.

I think it's awesome they're using a variety of shapes/ages of women, but a lot of the clothing is just so frumpy and unflattering that it does nothing for those beautiful women. <br />Really not sure what the hell they're doing anymore.

Also like the look of the denim skirt & shirt (could be cute for casual/weekend) and the black/white skirt that has a cold shoulder type skirt. There's also a pair of cute pink mules that a model is wearing with the pink satin shorts. With that being said, there's no jewelry to speak of, no beautiful prints and there's very little I would wear to work. Finally, the stripe shirt w/tulle looks like something similar to an item in the Net-a-porter collab.<br /> <br />http://www.popsugar.com/fashion/JCrew-Spring-2017-Collection-42365183#photo-42365183Mygoddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240250626088757693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-14113574288348516352016-09-11T18:15:01.993-04:002016-09-11T18:15:01.993-04:00Good god, it looks awful.

All those off the shoulder tops at bargain basement prices from this past season and they are doing more?? <br /><br />There was not one item that made me go "ooooh." And, sorry, if you're going to use "real" models, you need to make sure the clothes don't look like shapeless, sad sacks on them. That's just embarrassing.

The store tends to have better prices and much quicker delivery to me if they have the items.<br /><br />Two merino slim v-necks are headed my way; one in navy the other in charcoal.
