Sweaters are 20% off right now - I am so in trouble, been waiting for the cashmere henleys to go on sale...
Cool...
Come on DC/VA/MD ladies.... where you at?
Hey DC!!! How are you girl? I would come from NY for this!
TX Glam-You have great style!!! I am super interested in the chimera jacket however I haven't seen it IRL. Is it boxy w/out a belt? I noticed that you belted it and online it looks like it has the potential to be boxy. I hate box jackets! 
Thanks!
Thanks!I wore my bling button cardi for the 1st time today and noticed after I took it off that it has a big hole below the armpit...after 3 hrs of wear! Not cool...for quality.

Wearing a size XS in the bling cardi for reference
Also love my Wool pleated-silk chimera jacket in charcoal, the Tissue sparkling rose tee & silk cascade ruffle jacket
I know, me too. I'm in a total sweater craze right now, however I'm really trying to control my clothing impulses especially until after Christmas! I hope this many will still be on sale by then. I love that trentino cabin cardigan!!

Thanks Fashion! Yes it is a bit on the boxy side so I would suggest going for one size smaller if possible if you want it to be more fitted. I got it in a 0 and it was still a bit roomy so the belt helps a lot (plus I love belting tops and jackets anyways). I really like this jacket and it's on sale now (99 online and I've seen it for 79 in stores - already picked over though), worth a try!
Hey Miss_Q
We gotta get together soon. I'm going to drag Surly up to the big cityand what do I spy in your avatar!!!! They look gawgussssss
shhhh.... I ain't one to gossip, so you ain't heard this from me, but it's basically Woollite!
The after-Christmas sales are amazing!! Last year at J.Crew I spent $300 the day after Christmas, using the sale-on-sale discount and my student discount, and I got
- 1 thin patent belt
- 1 thick patent belt
- 1 wool/cashmere hat
- 1 silk cami
- 1 cashmere cardigan
- 1 pink tweed jacket
- 2 wool suiting dresses
I totally want to go again this year!! If you are looking for something specific there's no guarantee you'll find it but if you're like me and almost your whole wardrobe is J.Crew, you'll come out happy!
So I guess I should introduce myself- my name is Elle Tee and I am a J.Crew-aholic!
I love J.Crew because so many of the things I buy there can do double duty as work and play clothes. I'm finishing up law school, so I love having the option to dress up or down without having two different wardrobes. Lately I've been wearing a lot of the embellished Ts to class with cashmere cardigans and my new Nottingham boots. I also love the printed merino cardigans with jeans and a white T, or with a pencil skirt for work. And of course, I live in my Lady Day coat with Thinsulate during cold winters!
I also love the wedding collection- in fact, I will be wearing the Erica cotton gown with the Nicolette strappy purple heels when I get married in April, and my bridesmaids will wear black chiffon Sophia dresses. The wedding items are so gorgeous, I got to see the collection in person at my local store and they are so beautifully made.
Has anyone else really enjoyed watching J.Crew's "style" evolve over the past few years? I can still remember my first two purchases there, ever- a robin's-egg blue cable knit sweater and a lime green printed miniskirt, so preppy! It's been really cool to see the unique prints and hand-done details become a bigger part of their inventory.

Thanks so much for telling me about your after-Christmas experience last year, elle tee!! I usually prefer to shop online but may go into the store this year. I'm pretty much exclusively interested in sweaters and coats. It kind of drives me crazy that right now their idea of "sale" is $20 off a $140 sweater. Oh well. I figure I'll wait until the end of the season for everything and pick up whatever's left!
I love the wedding collection too- I'm pretty sure I'll be asking my bridesmaids to wear their dresses in my wedding in 2 years. Did you check out the 2010 lookbook for the wedding collection? It looks like some pretty colors are coming out like bright hydrangea! I'm leaning toward navy for my wedding but the right medium-blue could sway me.
So cool you are wearing a J.Crew dress for your wedding! I've thought about doing the same thing. I don't really see the point in spending thousands of dollars on a wedding dress you wear once.
