Yeah, it’s true, I haven’t been that excited by J.Crew recent new releases. However, in my semi-dry spell without shopping or new clothes in the last couple of weeks, I’ve become quite bored with my closet. All the J.Crew stuff I raved about on here and was super excited to wear, I’ve worn all of them quite a few times over already. So, I decided to keep an open mind and order a few new items from J.Crew that I think can turn out to be quite cute. I hope.
J.Crew Calista Cami – in Dark Rosewood
Yup – another silk ruffle cami. J.Crew keeps pumping ’em out and I keep hoarding them. It’s a great relationship, really. Who can resist these gorgeous, saturated Fall colors??
Get it here from J.Crew for $59.50 on sale.
I have to admit, I was first drawn to the Coralie Cami because of price. A seemingly cute silk ruffle cami for only $39.99? I’ll take one, please. I googled it and it seemed to have received pretty great reviews in the blogosphere. It’s a Final Sale item, which is annoying, but I’ll try it for $39.
Get it here from J.Crew for $39.99.
J.Crew Plaid Boyfriend Cardigan
I love, love plaid for fall. This has a cute boyish charm to it but also can serve as a neutral due to the mix of the colors. I was also suckered in by the fact that the material is merino wool, which is my favorite material in cardigans. It drapes so well and is very comfy. Remember that white Abercrombie tee I reviewed on here with the fake tie graphic? How cute would that look with this cardigan, a short(ish) skirt, and boots? That mental image made me pull the trigger after a few minutes of debate.

I was watching the Korean drama “Queen of the Housewives” the other day (I know, I was so bored), and one of the main characters always looks so put together. I realized her secret was that regardless of what she was wearing, she would always wear this long blazer over it. She probably had a set of 100 different blazers to rotate through. Very effortlessly chic. So when I saw this blazer on sale at J.Crew, I was sold. It’s a knit blazer, which means it should be soft and comfortable, yet look structured like a real blazer. The price is also pretty reasonable for a J.Crew blazer.
Get it here from J.Crew for $118 on sale.
J.Crew Paillette Mirage Tweed Mini
Every time I place an order anywhere, there’s gotta be at least one item I’m super excited about. This mini skirt is it for this round. I’ve been eyeing this skirt ever since it popped up on J.Crew but the price…ahh the price. I could not imagine paying over $150 for a skirt from J.Crew. But…I love it. Inexplicably, irrationally. I just love it. It’s sparkly but in an unique way, almost like there’s a sheet of ice or glass on the skirt, and the coloring is so fall-ish and intricate. In order to balance out the glitter and girliness of this skirt, I see this with tights, an untucked dress shirt (maybe even the Giant Gingham shirt), and a shorter, fitted blazer (maybe my new leather jacket from Banana Republic??). Or really push the femininity over the top with a dramatic cardigan, as pictured. Either way, I think this is much more versatile than it would seem, and can definitely be dressed up or down. So, so perfect for fall. I hope I love it as much in person.
Get it here from J.Crew for $248.
