J Crew ~aholics Thread!

The new Hothouse Floral Dress arrived today and I have to say that it is absolutely gorgeous! I am a real nit-pick about quality fabrics and tailoring. This dress is impeccably sewn and the silk fabric is lovely. I think this will make a great fall dress worn with opaque tights and pumps; and a great summer dress with sandals. I am so happy!!

For the record, I am 5'4", 115 lbs. The size 0 fit, but there wasn't much breathing room. I am going to keep the size 2.

The only thing I'm not sure on is the sleeve length. It was bracelet-sleeve on me. Once I scrunched the sleeve over my elbow, it looks fab. I may consider taking this to the tailor to alter the sleeve length.

I am considering purchasing this myself. What color tights would look best with it?

the pic is too small but it seems as if there is some grey in it. i think grey wouldn't look as harsh as black!

I am going to pair the dress with a navy tight. The main blob part of the flower is navy (it looks sorta purple in the photo). I hope you love the dress as much as me if you get it!

Here is an all J. Crew outfit featuring the boy shirt in snow cat and cafe capri pants in warm jade. I got the shirt for about $17 after all of the discounts!

I love this shade of purple too! It looks great on you!

Gorgeous outfit phiphi!

But my question here is----- how would you accessorize the outfit? I feel like this outfit could do with a statement necklace or some jangly bracelets, but have trouble putting it together --- i suck at accessorizing.

help?

I also love the shoes! I could see a bold gold statement necklace with this too, as others have suggested.

So pretty! The jacket looks great, and i feel like the color looks richer than the online photos... Love the lace skirt, too

Love the outfit....the trousers are a great colour and I think a boy cut shirt could be a good option for me too.

Enjoy wearing it!

stopped in at my local crew - sale section was slim pickings but I did order the lady jacket in herringbone sf center has tons of sizes in the pink, too.

i think long chain necklaces stacked would look really nice with this outfit - would keep the elongated look

what a steal!! you look great katie! and thanks for the sizing tip. it was sold out by the time i got to the site, though, so i'll just drool over yours!

thank you! it's definitely a bright pink, but the richness of the wool doesn't come across on the website pictures.

So for those of you who remember I had a bit of a dilemma with the blythe in retro jade looking way too green for my liking. Well I did recive another one and it is the same color as the first one so I´m starting to think it is the way this color looks in person and J Crew got the color wrong on the website. I found a picture on a blog of a lady wearing what looks pretty identical to the color of retro jade shirt I got. I´m still a bit disapointed and thinking of returning it since it was a bright aqua color I wanted and this looks more looks green than blue to me.

I love your outfit! I honestly don´t think you absolutley need accessories, but a thinner longer necklace would look great with the outift.

You always look aamazing! I´ve been contemplating this shirt too but for some reson I never get it

I just scored the crepe shawl blazer for $119. I went to return something but of course I can't leave the store without a purchase. I think this one will be worthwhile. The color is gorgeous and the wool feels a lot better than j crew blazers have of late.
