I know I didn’t actually purchase and post some of the items I put up in the last preview post, but I legitimately have all these items in boxes on their way to me via UPS, so here’s a sneak peek.
J.Crew Canterbury Bells Pencil Skirt
Love the print on this skirt. It’s bold and floral, which is huge this season. It’s an unusual saturated blue color, so it adds a slight twist to the trend. This will also be my first time trying on the new shorter 21″ length J.Crew has apparently instated for its skirts this summer. We shall see! Get it here from J.Crew for $98.
J.Crew Impressionist Pencil Skirt
I’m a bit on the fence about this print. It seems really, really bright, to the point of slight tackiness. OR…it could be a bold, saturated floral pencil skirt, and you know how I’m a sucker for these floral prints. This is also in the new shorter 21″ length. Get it here from J.Crew for $110.
J.Crew Embroidered Zafrina Skirt
I got this skirt in the Bronzed Clay color. At first I just thought this skirt was cute, but once I zoomed in on the picture, I saw the delicate and very pretty sewing around the hem. Gorgeous! So feminine and detailed. Plus it seems very comfortable with the smocked waist, and should be flattering with the full A-line shape. The tassels are just the most adorable final touch. Get it here from J.Crew for $74.50.
J.Crew “Cozumel” Flower Mosaic Embroidered Tunic
I absolutely adored this top when I saw it in the catalog. It doesn’t resemble anything I already own, but looks like something that will match and add interest to any outfit. The earthy vibe will go great with comfy full skirts and jeans. It screams summer to me! I am only loving it in the Champagne color, shown above. Get it here from J.Crew for $78.
I literally felt like I was seeing this picture everywhere. Or maybe I’m just so subconsciously drawn to the sheer cuteness of this outfit that I kept getting drawn to it wherever I looked on J.Crew’s site. I don’t own a single dress shirt…mostly because they’re so uncomfortable for me in comparison to knits and I could never get my size right. However, I have a soft spot for cute and bold plaid, and the brown belt + black full skirt combo is one of my wardrobe staples that always looks good. So…I felt like I had to order this shirt and at least try it or I will forever be seeing this outfit everywhere and wondering whether it’d be cute on me. Get it here from J.Crew for $69.50.
J.Crew Printed Palmera Ruffle Cami
J.Crew has come out with so, so many versions of this tank every season – usually with different types of prints or ruffles. I always thought they were cute and were tempted, but since I have the same issue with sizing with these dress tanks as I do with dress shirts, I’ve always been hesitant to order a random size blind online (and I’m just too lazy to try on in stores). However, this gorgeous tank is currently only $29.99 on sale online, so I thought it’s finally time to try it and see how I can work it into my wardrobe. Some blogs have reported that the ruffles look like a blob of shredded paper, which is ugh, but it doesn’t appear that way to me online so I guess we’ll see. Snag it on sale from J.Crew here for only $29.99 (down from $98!).
I fell for this ginormous-stoned necklace/bracelet when I first laid eyes on it in a J.Crew marketing email. I have not seen anything like it. It’s bold but feminine, kind of quietly and shyly screaming for attention. It’s a self-contradictory piece of jewelry, which adds a lot of interest to the piece for me. I’m not brave enough to put something this large on my neck, but it’s just enough of a statement on my wrist. For the relatively low sale price it’s at now, I had to snag it before it sells out. This is perhaps the piece I’m most excited about in my small J.Crew haul this time around. Get it here from J.Crew for $59.99.
Check back in a couple days as I report back!
