I kept a pair of pleated, cuffed wool trousers from the Kenzo collection for 25 years to see if they ever came back, and I hope some girl is enjoying her retro pants from the Goodwill. The Limited used to offer beautiful 100% wool overcoats in amazing colors.<br /> Hexiconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834188332983426624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-10603247486427380532018-08-29T23:09:10.421-04:002018-08-29T23:09:10.421-04:00My store was 40% off all sale today - so, neither!...My store was 40% off all sale today - so, neither!pbanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600851804646549370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-35013605458551717332018-08-29T17:21:10.676-04:002018-08-29T17:21:10.676-04:00Very disappointed there isn’t a professional wool ...Very disappointed there isn’t a professional wool suit in this rollout.

I prefer the design of the pencil skirt which looks alluring but not over the top which I like and have no qualms wearing this in a business environment. I travel extensively internationally for business and frankly run my own race as to how I dress. My concern is “quality and the type/source of leather. Buttery soft means nothing to me and at this price point it better be very good.

Finally able to order sunbather tee and everyday cashmere boatneck stripe sweater with ruffle sleeves. Saw this on Alexis' IG page & decided to try for $40. Ordered sequin floral embroidered Jackie cardigan in crimson maple from last roll out. It's on sale & extra % off applied & no FS. <br /><br />From the new roll out, my favorite is the Collection wrap leather pencil skirt. Leather looks buttery soft, but not sure about coverage; looks like it may be too revealing which will limit its wearability. Will wait for a promo to try.<br /><br />Most of my likes were also from the last roll out, but most have been excluded from promo, so I'll wait. It's almost 100 <br />degrees, so hard to think about fall. Temps won't cool for another couple of months.

I did get two cropped cardigans and a shirt for my hubs. Plus I called for a price adjustment on a top I bought for Mommy, a couple bras, and two pair of leggings. <br /><br />I bought two half zip sweatshirts at Factory in the Spring and have now added the matching leggings. Weird the pieces were split up like that, but I am glad to have found them at super clearance prices. The leggings are 7/8 length, which I do not usually wear, but am making an exception for the nice fabric and to get the matching sets for around the house in cold weather. pbanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600851804646549370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-4188532605001851292018-08-28T22:21:05.145-04:002018-08-28T22:21:05.145-04:00thank you!...i have pierced ears. i prefer clip on...thank you!...i have pierced ears. i prefer clip ons as i can't wear any with nickel in the posts of reg earings.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748716793401919727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-82459953527039006222018-08-28T21:49:46.243-04:002018-08-28T21:49:46.243-04:00I got a surprising amount of wear out of my Velvet...I got a surprising amount of wear out of my Velvet Tank from last year. I wore it with the Going-Out Blazer for a dressy occasion and a denim jacket for casual. The third layer cuts the “cliche” factor I think, esp when the cut is classic.

Am I the only one who remembers being able to buy real Harris tweed blazers at the Limited back in college? There used to be so many well-made clothes for reasonable prices and it seems they're gone now. Such a shame. I just dropped over $300 for a pair of lined wool Brooks Bros. pants because my 2007 120s wool gaberdine pair was too snagged to continue. (nasty screw that stuck out of my old computer keyboard tray and not J. Crew's fault on the snags)Mary G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07448918525550583442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-39553050539688561762018-08-28T18:48:37.354-04:002018-08-28T18:48:37.354-04:00I was happy to see what I think is an improvement,...I was happy to see what I think is an improvement, still wish they’d come out with nice dresses. While I liked various items, my closet is bursting so I’m trying to restrain. I ordered my hubby some jeans, for myself I only ordered a solid shirtdress (although I’m nervous about sizing), a perfect fit l-s tee and some clip on earrings because I’m pretty excited about Jcrew offering that option since I’ve never pierced my ears. <br />I like a couple of sweaters including the balloon sleeve turtleneck but it’s still a heat wave here so I’ll wait. The wool blazers look nice but I rarely wear the ones I have. janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257918991247030517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89480915213756489092018-08-28T17:39:33.438-04:002018-08-28T17:39:33.438-04:00Thanks for sharing.

Who needs another low price boring basic retailer, and I'm sick of the drastic quality decline. ( I don't know why they don't see this as a terrible move) Regardless, I'm still hopeful the new head designer will add her voice. I am (or was) a huge Anthropologie fan as well as J Crew and would consider my style neither preppy nor bohemian, but modern, vivid, and professional. Between Anthro, J Crew, some Madewell, some Target and a few boutique purchases I built a great wardrobe. I hope J Crew can still perform. I wasn't thrilled with this roll out, but I actually liked the Abigail Borg clothes and a few other things from the last one, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. bythelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802033997520422569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-53426699243289787052018-08-28T17:30:45.053-04:002018-08-28T17:30:45.053-04:00I though the same thing.
