Fall
Pixie pant, $88.00, Item 97643
This pant has it all—a little stretch, a supersoft feel and a sleek, structured silhouette that’s beyond flaterring. We love it with a long cardigan, day or night. Midweight viscose/nylon with a hint of stretch. Sits at hips. Exposed back zip. Jodhpur yoke detail along inside knee. Hits at ankle. 30″ inseam. Import. Dry clean.
Do you notice a difference at all in the $88 Pixie pant pictured above and the leggings pictured below?
I am not sure what J.Crew is up to here. The pant and leggings are nearly identical except for the zipper.
Signature black leggings, $29.50, Item 17689
Our year-round legging that’s equally fabulous with a white shirt and flats or an oversize sweater and boots. It’s made of a very good quality stretch jersey so it’s completely opaque. We also gave it a wide waistband with a touch of elastic—the best for looks and comfort. Cotton/Modal® rayon/spandex. 27″ inseam. Import. Machine wash.

Fall
Wool flannel schoolboy blazer, $188.00, Item 18271
With the free shipping code J.Crew offered this week, I went ahead and ordered the Schoolboy blazer. At the time of ordering the blazer, the waitlist date was July 21. Now the blazer is back ordered until August 11.
I called my local store which confirmed that they have yet to receive the blazer. I really want to try it on for the fit; it would be great to have a tailored blazer for the fall.
For those looking for a blazer like this one, I found some other great alternatives below from the Gap and Ralph Lauren.

Behind the Scenes,
Fall 
Limited edition. Four tiers of delicate Chantilly lace in a vintage-inspired color exclusive to J.Crew. Wear it with or without the silk sash—the result is equally breathtaking. Rayon/nylon. Removable silk charmeuse belt ties at waist. Side-seam button closure. Fully lined. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Dry clean.
The Tiered Lace Cami from J.Crew is a piece from the Fall 2009 Collection. (You can view it in the Fall 2009 Lookbook.)
The cami retails for a whopping $795 and is nearly sold out online. As of this writing, only sizes 6 & 8 are still available. I am guessing the item will be available at the J.Crew Collection store on Madison Avenue.
But for the price, it’s certainly an investment piece and a pass for me. Below are some great alternatives for much less!
What are your thoughts on the cami? Are you surprised that it is almost SOLD OUT?
