Blog from another site on J.Crew and tailoring and Michelle ***** (remove link if not allowed?)

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]J. Crew is an interesting brand for women. It has always been a little overpriced and boring, with an odd fit. Nowadays though, it seems to have a real handle on the stylish vibe with some timeless on-trend items and fabulous accessories... although I must say the fit is still odd. How many times have you walked into J. Crew, tried a pair of pants on, stood in front of the mirror and stared horrified at the unflattering reflection. Seemingly supposed to be for a more full-bottomed woman, I find their pants, slacks and sometimes dresses seem to add weight to a woman's lower half, instead of slimming them. I have only been able to find one style of J. Crew pant for my "hippy" clients that actually flattered instead of fattened. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]One person who is loving J. Crew is Michelle *****. (I am guessing she has tailored many items since J. Crew skirts tend to fall straight at the knees instead of coming in slightly like a flattering skirt should.) She has been photographed looking absolutely fabulous while wearing many of J. Crew's pencil skirts, cardigans and tees this year... which may be why this odd brand is doing so well. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]J. Crew Group Inc. announced last week that its profit more than doubled in the third quarter as sales rose by a double-digit percentage. The results sent its stock surging in after-hours trading after the retailer beat Wall Street consensus estimates for profit and revenue. The Associated Press said its gross margin grew to 48.4 percent of revenue from 41.6 percent a year ago. CEO Millard Drexler gives credit to doing simple things well. "It's about product, it's about quality, it's about design, it's about creativity." I suppose, but I think it has more [/FONT][FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]to do with Michelle ***** and the brand's relatively recent lean towards on-trend styles.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Either way, here are a few items that I am loving from J. Crew: (Notice there are no pants pictured"[/FONT]

new promotion - 25% off $150 + and 30% off $250 use SNOWMAN, full price and sale included just no free shipping

I called in and they gave me a price adj for the order I placed yesterday. I had a feeling they would start a promotion since they marked down many items by like 10%.

Has anyone tried on or seen irl this wool ruffle jacket? http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/Wom...294+20~~~20+17+4294967134~15~~~~~~~/17863.jsp

I think a lot of the first lady's clothing is made for her by J Crew. I am seen several pictures of her that she was wearing specific pieces that were slightly different than the items I have tried. For example, the 18" deco skirt was really short even on my 5'4" body. However, she has one that was a nice conservative knee length. Since she is taller than me, it couldn't have been the production model. Also, there was a tiered skirt that had an extra tier from the production ones. I doubt that her items are tailored as much as they were made to flatter her to begin with.

By the way, the B&M has a cute snowflake tee I had not seen before today. It is medium gray with a sequined snowflake on a kind of pink background and was very pretty.

I tried that one on and really liked it!! It seemed like something that I would get a lot of wear out of, dressed up or dressed down. The only reason I didn't get that one is because my best skirt/pant suit is grey, so I chose the dusty rose colored Frances cami as a pop of color with the suit instead. But, I do wear the pink one a lot!! It's a great top.
