So I said I had a lot of shopping catch up to do and I really wasn’t lying because damn there is so much I want to buy! Here’s what’s coming up on Crewlade…
J.Crew Island Paisley Bubble Skirt – $79.50
My God, has there ever been a cuter outfit?! I want to buy everything in this outfit (minus the manly shoes). I didn’t pay much attention to the skirt until I saw this catalog photo…then I was totally in love and it became a must-have item. Elastic waist, so should be comfortable. Wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the bubble hem but it looks adorable here. We all know that doesn’t always translate to real life, so guess we’ll see.
Get it here from J.Crew for $79.50.
J.Crew Tissue Sequin Tank – $74
I remember when this tank only came in light colors and I wished it came in a navy or black because I imagined it would look amazing. And voila, I was not wrong. I love how this tank is so dressy in design but is made out of super soft tissue cotton and can clearly be dressed down in a casual outfit. The price is a little crazy for a tank so I’m still kind of on the fence about this one.
Get it here from J.Crew for $74.
J.Crew Palisade Cardigan – $98
Oh how I wish this cardigan came in merino wool and not cotton. I love the detailing on this cardigan because it’s so feminine and preppy (and I love bows apparently), but from past experience with cotton cardigans from J.Crew, they usually stretch out of shape so easily that by the end of the day they’re just loose and flopping around on your body. Is that just me? I might try this one anyway though because it’s just so adorable.

J.Crew Tissue Cascading Twists Tee – $24.50
I kept getting drawn to this tee and I could never pinpoint why. I think I just love the Red Clay color because it pairs so perfectly with denim. It’s not a commonly seen red – slightly darker and more saturated than usual. Of course that could just be the picture; hopefully it looks the same in real life.
Get it here from J.Crew on sale for $24.50.
J.Crew Victoria Ruffle Tissue Cami – $29.99
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this tee while browsing J.Crew online and I’ve always paused, though it had some potential, then dismissed it because if it doesn’t look all that cute on the J.Crew model, chances are it won’t be that great on me. I feel like even in this picture, the tissue material is so unflattering because you can see every tiny line and lump on this woman. However, I’ve seen reviews and IRL pictures of this cami in the blogosphere and they all look super cute. So…now that it’s on sale, I’m giving it a shot.

J.Crew Kelsey Ruffle Top – $49.99
Ever since I bought the Palmera Ruffle cami from J.Crew a few weeks ago (see review here), I have completely fallen in love with J.Crew ruffle camis – all the versions over the years. Yes – the Frances, the Victoria, and Kelsey (were there more?). They are surprisingly comfortable for shirts that have no stretch (if you sized properly that is), they’re breezy, they’re super flattering whether alone or layered, and they always make you look so put together and well dressed. I always feel so chic in my Palmera cami that I find myself constantly pulling it out when I want to look good without much thought or effort. Anyway, the Kelsey isn’t AS cute as the camis with the v-neck ruffles, but it still fits the bill and comes in many great colors.
