With J.Crew, there are just so many unknowns, and so few opportunities to try in store, that returns are just part of the package. It does get tiring, which may be why I buy in phases. I try a lot, return a lot, and keep enough, then take time off. <br /><br />I wrote down my actual wardrobe gaps/ wants so I don't lose sight of them. Why get another top (even if I'll wear it) when what I really need to replenish is leggings? Going through everything I own again helped with that. Still shopping for such items, and always shoes (I wear them all). I've appreciated the mindful conversation.farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276016792629249178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-49633471346794586662019-01-07T01:12:42.992-05:002019-01-07T01:12:42.992-05:00@Sarah J brilliant!@Sarah J brilliant!wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-5039142468487458312019-01-07T00:55:44.373-05:002019-01-07T00:55:44.373-05:00I'm beginning to feel sorry for these dogs.

I got the snakeskin Elsie's in the mail the other day which were a recent popback during one of the 50% off sale, and I'm glad I picked them up. I have been less impressed with J.Crew's shoes lately and these were a nice treat (and only $50). <br /><br />As I listed quite a few items for sale on Poshmark this morning that I've only worn once or twice, I am reminded of my desire to make better purchases in the new year. I had more items in my cart yesterday and after thinking on it for a few hours just went with the blouse.

I just seems to be for me. but i do find that waiting/watching for prices to get to the lowest..is another chore i am looking forward to not having to do.

J Crew jewellery was my weakness. loved it but yet never wore any of it. so its gone now..and I fell really good about it. I do not want to order anymore necklaces! finally a break through.<br />so my reason for not shopping and not shopping for next year are pretty clear for me. but then again i have been at this for quite awhile and once the Sa's in store start commenting on how much you buy/return....the embarrassment was another flag for me.I dreaded going to the stores. but i hope all who do need 'want to get stuff now do enjoy it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748716793401919727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-69179400401266868492019-01-06T08:58:42.161-05:002019-01-06T08:58:42.161-05:00I don't want to sabotage anyone's low buy/...I don't want to sabotage anyone's low buy/ no buy aspirations but a lot of the sale items that were marked final sale appear to no longer be final sale once they are in the cart and the extra 50% off BIGGERSALE code still applies.

I actually find it gels with my closet cleaning schedule too, because by the time I have all my summer stuff washed and ready to be stored, I go through and donate the too worn/too tight/too short stuff and then I have a better idea of what I need to replenish. Same with winter stuff - I go through it all at the beginning of summer. I’ll also admit that I am not trendy so anything I buy can work year after year. The only thing that really changes for me is color. This winter I’m really into tonal dressing, which doesn’t require me to buy a whole new wardrobe but just look at new ways to wear things I already own. I just packed up a box to send to Thredup and the output will be the same as the input from the recent sales, so my closet isn’t going to explode as I dreaded when my orders finally arrive. eeps.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10627356547323862881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-29001033204024286732019-01-05T20:51:06.303-05:002019-01-05T20:51:06.303-05:00@Suz, yes it was there today at the price you ment...@Suz, yes it was there today at the price you mentioned.

It’s cute, first one was returned as it had a white spot most likely from the lettering, second one they overnighted to me and is fine. 3/4 length sleeves.

Excluding summer items I picked up at the end of 2018, I wore everything except one sweater dress, and a beautiful wool skirt(But I've been working from home most of this winter so far due to surgeries) and some socks/underwear/tshirts/shorts/jeans that I bought in duplicates because I liked them (and the price) and figured I would wear them in two years or so when the originals look worn. The main reason I bought some new things at this year end is my weight loss - some of my pants are just unwearable now. But if I keep buying now I will know I have a problem, because I am fully stocked up! Hopefully I'll just enjoy seeing what everyone else is wearing :)<br />pbanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600851804646549370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-37364323834868484802019-01-05T19:06:13.779-05:002019-01-05T19:06:13.779-05:00the champagne sweatshirt is on sale at Nordstrom’s...the champagne sweatshirt is on sale at Nordstrom’s!wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-25764810890179849302019-01-05T18:59:36.110-05:002019-01-05T18:59:36.110-05:00@unknown and everyone else, I think it's a val...@unknown and everyone else, I think it's a valid conversation to have. I also like to buy off season or when I see something. I almost prefer that to buying it when it first comes out so I don't see myself coming and going. I'd rather wear it the next year. <br />I'm perfectly happy that I got the tartan Parke blazer, some velvet shoes, etc last year at the end of the season and wore it a few times over the year and this holiday season. I feel if I buy a few festive pieces each year they'll get worn for years. Suz Hashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861014424535094375noreply@blogger.com
