J Crew
I made an ill-considered visit to J Crew last week. The styling was so fresh, so clever, so on-trend. . .that I wanted to buy everything in the place. I resisted and, instead, attempted some lame copycatting from my own wardrobe.

Sometimes, copycatting is what it's all about when you can't afford places like that!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic in this. I love the neutral outfit with pops of yellow and red. Simply gorgeous and so very classy.
Those are amazing shoes...
ReplyDeleteI'm loving those red pumps paired with the pop of yellow from your pendant.

Umm, NOT AT ALL LAME.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure nothing you put on you could look lame.
Molto Bella!!

Sometimes I love the copycat outfits better! I love the strong primary colors against the pale blue. The tassel is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI think the flower and the tassel are competing for the same space but other than that, I think it turned out great!
ReplyDeleteVery good copy cat, you nailed it!
ReplyDeleteHoly Heels, those shoes are HOT! I have to ask, though, why do you say "lame?" I think you did a great job and that's a great accomplishment! It can be seriously challenging to stay on trend when one has to scavange through one's own wardrobe. You look great!
ReplyDeleteI like this outfit, although it doesn't have your usual dose of "whoa!" (which I love), so I can see why you might be a little "meh" about it. But you look gorgeous - I love that black flower at the waist.
ReplyDeleteI think your attempt at shopping your closet was a huge success :)
ReplyDeleteFar from lame. Love it.

Sorry for spam, frist commet was kind of a try and I used enter to early and last commet - my current blog is www.jja.blog.hr, I guess I have to renew my googlemail account.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job. I like the whole outfit. You look just as good as the photos I've seen in JCrew's recent catalogs. Actually, I think you look better. Some of the models have the oddest expressions on their faces.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is totally up my alley. Love it all. The skirt is gorgeous.
