New Arrivals

J.Crew sent out an email today inviting us to try their skinny jeans. I love the Toothpick ankle jeans and actually have several pairs.
Have you tried the jeans? If so, what are your thoughts?
Here are the other items in the email:
Silk ruffle cascade jacket, $188.00, Item 20942
Tissue turtleneck long-sleeve tee, $39.50, Item 17656
Cadogan leather ankle boots, $225.00, Item 18122
Pleated Paulette top, $168.00, Item 19834
An absolutely unforgettable top styled in silk taffeta. Rows of accordion pleated ruffles, placed asymmetrically, give this piece a stylish slant, while a removable grosgrain ribbon sash cinches and defines the waist. It’s perfect for any dressy occasion and just as fun with jeans. Sleeveless. Hidden button-front closure. Part of the J.Crew Collection.
I recently spotted the Pleated Paulette Top in stores and loved the detailing on it. The pleats are very feminine and fun.
I immediately grabbed one and jetted toward the fitting rooms. When I tried it on, I found that it ran rather large and the black ribbon was awkward.
I love how the top looks on the model in the photo above. But I don’t really like the styling as shown on the mannequin pictured below. I don’t think this top works as a jacket. The catalog image has the top styled the same way.
What are your thoughts on this top?

Shadow shearling jacket, $2,500.00, Item 20889
The shade of winter sky in luxuriously soft suede paired with the finest Italian shearling. The silhouette—slim and tailored with a flattering belted waist—fits like a dream. Only a dozen others like it exist. Lambskin. Shawl collar. Hook-and-eye closure. Long sleeves. On-seam pockets. Hits at hip. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Dry clean.
As the holiday season approaches, many retailers including J.Crew will be adding one-of-a-kind pieces to their brand assortment. With the November new arrivals, J.Crew introduced the Shadow shearling jacket that retails at $2,500. This piece is available online and select stores.
