J Crew ~aholics Thread!

[i <3 shoes]

Is it just me or has the quality of the clothes gotten a little worse?

A lot of the sweaters and knits I've gotten have gotten ruined/started pilling after just a few wears! This has never happened before. I'm so confused since I adore J. Crew and I'm always shopping there.

I love the pieces u posted, Alex!!! Great stuff!

I adore the minnie. I have 2 pairs in black and wear them with everything! I like to do black minnies, with a black tank, bright belt, black blazer and black flats (or sometimes my pink sperrys)

I'm going to give this look a try

wow, i love this! is it new?

Yup. I bought the last one from the store!

Alex, great items. I like the outfit you had put together earlier.

 

[alex.losee]

I fully plan to wear it tomorrow. I feel I will rock the pink sperry's as well.

I just got them today. I got the all leather in gold metallic and the suede/leather in pumice stone. I wear 6.5/7 in all my shoes and I ordered these in a 7.

I'm wearing them both around the house. The suede are by FAR more comfortable. The all leather ones seem stiffer and tighter. Both are slightly rubbing on my heels pretty touchy.

I'm going to wear them around the house today and tomorrow and see which ones feel better. I'll report back!

Thanks! I'm thinking about the suede/leather. I'll be looking for your review!

I do feel that it has gotten cheaper in quality but not in price! My old cardigans (2007 and back) are very robust and a bit thicker compared to the merino wool ones of this day... sucks.

I'm not a big fan of the merino wool cardi's at all. I generally only wear the cotton ones.

Ugh, I need a sale code that's valid on full-priced merchandise. There are at least three sweaters that I have to have, but I'm allergic to paying retail. I had to cough up for the Wool Schoolboy Blazer because the website has been sold out of my size in the damn thing for months, and when I finally found it in the store I was too scared to pass it up and miss out on it for good, and I'm still recovering from the sticker shock.

Throw me a bone, J. Crew!

In regards to quality, I've noticed it as well. The cashmere sold now pills so much sooner and easier than the cashmere I have from JC from years ago. I wont buy cashmere there any more.

Great haul Alex! Enjoying wearing it all!

Today's J Crew outfit!

I like j crew but their t shirts ALWAYS get holes in them!! I wear thema few times and they're done for... never buying shirts from there again.

Does anyone have the wool ruffle jacket? I really want it in the heather graphite, but they're out of my usual size. I was able to size down in the velvet eden jacket this year and was wondering if I'd be able to do the same, or if the ruffle jacket is pretty TTS.
