Of course, it is easier to attain that the "I've been sleeping in my boyfriend's closet" look that was popular last fall. <br /><br />Reeeeallly wish they offered petites on the long skirts. Most esp that lovely silver lace, item #19029. However, I don't have $895 (eeeep!) to splash out on anything right now -- much less a skirt that's too delicate to alter :{<br /><br />Anywho, <br /><br />Hope y'all find something (attainable) to love, <br /><br />Heather:DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09617273124020604247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-82964058940713819682009-10-02T18:16:02.885-04:002009-10-02T18:16:02.885-04:00The styling is horrible!

The styling at JC is down-right humorous these days. Layers anyone? Still, I keep going back to JC for the wonderful array of colors. I can't find Spicy Olive, Dusty Blossom, Mars, Petunia, Antique Stone, etc. at other stores.

I realize they are working w/the same silhouettes in different fabrics & prints so they're trying to take it to another level, but they're jumbling them into a mess.

I have a very similar black pair from J.Crew circa 2000, just a different non-crepe sole. They are really comfortable but look godawfully clunky and I would never pair with a skirt. Great for walking in the park or light yard work but that's about it. <br /><br />The styling on that outfit made me LOL. I thought Jcrew was going for granny-chic and not the granny-has-totally-lost-it-and-can-no-longer-dress-herself look.xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-48608273434414140192009-10-02T13:50:34.182-04:002009-10-02T13:50:34.182-04:00must have that pink coat! love love love!!!!!!must have that pink coat! love love love!!!!!!Sharon Chenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312904394889287434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-5973849784497903682009-10-02T13:35:56.874-04:002009-10-02T13:35:56.874-04:00The shoes in the third picture?

I wouldn't wear 90% of the items they style they way they do, but I have mixed and matched some things in the last couple of years that I would not have tried if I had not seen some of their layouts.<br /><br />I do wish they would button sweaters in the right holes ;).<br /><br />Dickfiddy,<br /><br />I agree that the collar could be tricky, and I will not buy a coat that doesn't look at least passable both buttoned and unbuttoned. I think that the puckering is caused by the way her arms are pulled back. I have been really complaining about shrinking arms lately, but I have more of a problem with diameter. Every jacket and coat I have tried has been long enough in the armholes even over layers.kitsmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707879362149921762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-76446455193589719242009-10-02T10:13:54.174-04:002009-10-02T10:13:54.174-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.kitsmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707879362149921762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-32972132179780303602009-10-02T10:06:21.382-04:002009-10-02T10:06:21.382-04:00i won't hold my breath about getting a catalog...i won't hold my breath about getting a catalog.<br /><br />i think the styling looks insane. who wears neon socks with open toed shoes? they certainly don't subscribe to the less is more, take one accessory off theory, huh?<br /><br />that said, i can't wait to see the new rollout.Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719743486082035365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-70229920188202206882009-10-02T09:50:52.951-04:002009-10-02T09:50:52.951-04:00I really think the styling is fun.

I like the pink coat but the collar could be a bit tricky. And is that puckering on the chest around the armholes? I hope it is not an indication of the shrinking sleeves people have reported lately. I know I wear long sleeves and sometimes even a couple of layers under a coat. Better be some room under there. If we have to SU the whole fit will be off.dickfiddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124128479228047382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-38162193135409572352009-10-02T09:21:39.171-04:002009-10-02T09:21:39.171-04:00That coat is lovely.
