does anyone have the hacking jacket from this year? I like the light purple and the mint color, but not sure how often i would really wear it? (lifestyle - I'm 25, law student, so not working at the moment) Thanks!

Hi elmel! I have a Lexington jacket from years ago, which is a similar style to the Hacking. I'm a medical student, so when I'm in clinic I can't wear a blazer and have to wear my awkwardly short white coat. I wear my jacket casually with jeans, flats, boots, whatever when I'm in class or on the weekends. Sometimes I wear it as a light jacket in the cooler months. I think its a pretty versatile piece, and will definitely be good to have once you graduate and get a job. I hope that helps!

The sale totally got me! Purchased the Blythe heart print blouse (saw it first on NAP and thought it was a great affordable alternative to a similar Equipment blouse) and this cute striped pink & orange top that was on final sale. I almost bought it the last time they had a coupon code and thought it was gone - I couldn't get the colour combo out of my mind. I feel a little bad for impulse buying but at least I got a decent deal and free shipping. I almost got a pair of cute cashmere heart print socks but I remembered the quality of their cashmere isn't great.

I am really happy to say that the only thing I currently want from J. Crew right now is the Houndstooth School Boy Blazer. I was waiting for it to go on sale, but it is already sold out on the website. I might use the new promo to buy that if it is still left at my store.

I am a law student too! I have last years in herringbone (gray) and wear it a lot. I get compliments on it a lot. Definitely my favorite blazer. I wear it as a coat sometimes too. 25% off is a great time to get it. I'm not sure I'd wear the solid ones as much just because they aren't as versatile.

The Gabby top looks good with plain old jeans and a good top to have to tuck into pencil skirts. You can also wear it with your cabernet colored cords, tucked in, with a belt (maybe navy - black) You can also pair it with the lilac cord.

For the tweed skirt, I would pair it up with colored shirts like the blythe blouse or the perfect fit shirts (tucked in) and putting a statement necklace over the collar. Or layering a tippi sweater over the shirt in neutral colors, preferably darker colors like navy to really make that orange stand out.

I haven't had the best of luck with the sequined tops so I tend to just wear them with jeans or tucked into skirts, but I have seen a lot of them being used as vests over collared shirts. Shirt tucked into jeans and the top hanging loose.

Haven't seen them in my store, but I have had good luck with calling customer service and having them do a search!
