I find a lot of the looks kind of gross actually! Besides that, very few of the individual pieces look wearable to me.

If I were a bit younger, maybe 20's and more fit I would probably go crazy. But alas, I'm in my 30s, done with cute-sy prints and combinations. I've reached a certain level at work so I need the more feminine yet serious look, which is not I will get with this one. Maybe if I break up the pieces I would? Let's see.<br />Back when it was Marissa, it was truly tomboy chic. But with Tom, it's more kooky chic to me. Tom lost the femininity in the clothes, in my opinion. <br />G_ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642299671917270332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-15204077834272755312012-09-11T23:52:50.036-04:002012-09-11T23:52:50.036-04:00Anybody else notice that the skirt in look 30 (the...Anybody else notice that the skirt in look 30 (the hot pink floral one farther away in the main shot) has a recycled pattern from 2007? (Albeit re-sized, re-colored, and upside-down). I can just imagine the copy now...<br /><br />"We traveled to glamorous New York City and dug through the archives of storied fashion house J. Crew to find this fabulous vintage floral print. Then we had it recolored (exclusively for us) in this season's must-have neon. We're obsessed!" <br /><br />That said, I don't fault them for recycling prints. Of course, I could be biased, because I own a dress in this print from the first time around.

I must say the collection is not that bad, if you were to pick and choose separate pieces on its own. NYmag.com is an excellent site to view the collection up close. You can magnify each outfit worn with the accessories. <br /><br />Its hard to critique clothes without feeling it, and seeing it IRL. IMO, there are separate pieces that are cute, but as a collection, its not as nice as when Marissa and Jenna were in charge of the designing and styling during Spring 11' and Spring 12'. Such a huge difference between Marissa/Jenna vs. Tom/Jenna. I certainly am for team Marissa/Jenna. There was something soft about it, there was cohesion, it was feminine, smart, confidence with the Spring/Summer 2011 & 2012 collections. I don't know about this one...I am trying to understand Tom's vision for J.Crew. I'm still lost.JSRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019374356359095038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-12237806000304152382012-09-11T22:25:01.196-04:002012-09-11T22:25:01.196-04:00As for what I think about the collection itself, I...As for what I think about the collection itself, I agree with some others - it's a lot of bright colours, especially a lot of pink. Not really my colours, but then again, I am more of a fall colour girl. Not super crazy about the styles or prints either, though there was one dress that I loved the styling on (pink silk? shirt dress), but not the colour or print. And that bright green skirt looks like one Jenna was styling earlier this year? These pics certainly don't make me excited about the Spring collection, but luckily we're still smack in the middle of the Fall/Winter one where I am madly in love with many, many items!imbachickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15421925234121975351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-49567101562955912812012-09-11T22:16:50.615-04:002012-09-11T22:16:50.615-04:00I actually like it!

Obviously, some pieces are very body conscious (short shorts) but overall I think this collection has some great pieces. If you check out what is showing at fashion week you will see that pastels and tropical prints are trending. I love the blue maxi dress and the cafe capri's with skunks on them. WWD (women's wear daily) has said that they like this collection because it is different. I guess to each is own. We already assume what is going to happen, all of these prints will end up on some great pieces for spring!

They would pick the brightest and most mismatched pieces to wear. That is what the styling looked liked to me.
