I have recently become a whee-little bit obsessed with J.Crew, especially their jewelry. I have a question about the popular Bubble Necklace: Does it go on sale for 30% off or more? Right now there are some that are $120 + 25% off and I don't know if I should bite or not. Help, please!

30% off full price is unheard of. It happens very, very rarely. I have seen bubble necklaces in my local store already marked down to something like 99.99 and then 30% off sale items. I think 25% off is probably pretty good. I would bite unless you want to really stalk it for months.
 
Does anyone have the houndstooth burgundy and gray and ivory scarf? Picked it up today after being on the fence my last few visits but it doesn't go with much. Would love styling ideas.

I could also use styling ideas for the navy schoolboy blazer- I always feel like I'm wearing a uniform. I think I'm going to change out the buttons to silver, but beyond that I'm kind of lost lately on how to wear it.
 
I tried on the stovepipe trousers in the check pattern today (only colour they had in store). Surprisingly I was able to fit into my regular size-in fact, they seemed to fit a bit better than the 1035 trousers I also tried on. I wasn't a fan of the fit-it said slim and tapered but they looked quite large (albeit straight) from the knee down.

I picked this skirt up from the sale...but not 100% sold on it. I've got 4 or 5 colourful pencil skirts already, so I thought I'd switch it up with a print. But I'm not sure what to wear with it since it has blue AND black in it...

I bought a similar blazer from Zara that has red elbow patches. I have a pair of red dress pants from Gap that I'm going to pair it with for work. For the weekend, I'd try a pair of colourful skinnies in another deep tone like plum or emerald-would make a really nice but unexpected colour combo!

Thanks for the advice! I think I shall bite then, because I like the turquoise color and I only want to own one.

I hear ya on the scarf being hard to style. It's on my wishlist but it's so hefty I couldn't get in on comfortably and doubled in the store. I love that it is 100% wool and not flimsy.
