I got the schoolboy blazer at 25% off but wow, I didn't realize how thin they were until I received it. Granted I got it for a reduced price but do you ladies think it is worth the price of $150? The fit is great but the material is soooo thin!
 
thank you katie - i caved and got the zigzag sequin tee also - sized up in that one though. i love how we have so many of the same things!! :graucho:

adorable! this is super cute and the pink flats are a great pop of colour.

Thanks phiphi! I can't believe you have the zigzag tee too! I can't wait to see how you style it. :smile1:

Where is your plaid button down from? I've been looking for one just like that and haven't been able to find any I like that are long enough. I'm tall and have a super long torso, so most of them are too short. How long is yours?

My plaid button down is from J. Crew, however I bought it a few years ago. I am also pretty tall, yet find this shirt to be a good length. I think J. Crew might have similar styles in either the boy shirt or perfect shirt styles.

katie i LOVE that outfit!

Thank you! :love:

Katie, that outfit looks amazing!!! Sooo cute!

Loved reading your blog too!

Thank you brklyngurl! I am so happy you enjoyed my blog too! :smile1:

I saw this blazer in the store, and yes it is thin. I personally don't think it is worth $150.

I got mine for that price as well and I think it is worth it. I've gone back and forth for a year or so on it but I haven't been able to find anything remotely close to being that cute. The navy never goes on sale, so 25% off is probably the best you can do unless you buy on ebay.
 
I got the Blythe silk heart print blouse for 25% off and it's pretty cute. The colours of the other top I bought (orange & pink) are not as nice as they looked on the site though. I still can't attach pics via tpf mobile so I can't show pics!

Hello ladies!

Can you please tell me how J Crew's cashmere sweaters/cardigans are? How do they hold up and do they have pilling problems?

Thanks in advance!

I don have any cashmere jcrew pieces but I have read a lot of comments in here about the quality being very poor.

I know a lot of people don like them, and they do pill, but I'm a fan. I use a sweater stone every few wears to get the bad areas (mostly under the arms from rubbing) and they are good to go. I don't ever pay full price, though, so that may be why I think they are worth the money.
 
I have two. One from last year, and one from the year before. They don't get a lot of use but held up great. No pilling at all. I bought tipi sweater this year and took it back, it was pilling straight out of the plastic bag! So I think it depends on the style, they must use different yarn on different styles. My ts are also wearing well, no pilling. I never pay full price. They are no doubt over priced. But for $80/90 that i paid I think they are OK. But I also don't have any per 2008 pieces from jcrew so have nothing to compare to.
 
I bought the burgundy and a bright blue in the cashmere tippis and the bateau in the caramel. I have been pleased with them overall. They had some slight pilling the first couple of wearings that I removed with a sweater stone and they have not pilled any more at all.

I bought this blouse and love it! I also bought it during the last 25% off promotion because I thought it might sell out. I hope you enjoy it! :smile1:

It has been a year or so since I purchased any of J. Crew's cashmere. I think the quality is okay if you can get them cheap enough. Most of mine I bought at pretty reduced prices. I do find that they pill around the arms quite a bit, which would be my one major complaint. The colors are so pretty though it is often hard to pass them up!
