That’s way overboard for a cami-getting a little too pricey since Obama is wearing their clothes-I certainly don’t hope their designing things around what Obama would wear and can afford?

But she is wearing Talbots too-which has begun catering to the older crowd!?

I like the boyfriend jacket and jeans with the femine cami-It’s nice that they’re making the “preppy” look femine!

What are the biggest fall colors-I hear purple is going to be in, but I like the rust colors and the blush!?

Any alternatives to the boyfriend jacket? I’m only 5′-so I may have a problem with the fit!!!!!

I really don’t like investing too much in summer clothes as the season is so short-it’s good to buy things one can wear all year around-like the camis,etc.

Thanks!

My jaw hit the floor when I saw that pricetag..I bought a camisole like this in Macy’s for 1/20th of the price a few years ago. I’m not sure how I feel about Jcrew “couture”. If I wanted to pay that kind of money I’d probably go over to Barney’s and get something really quality.

A cami for $800? It’s nice but obviously not *that* unique, given the many alternatives. For that amount, I believe one is better off investing in a well-made coat or an item made by a designer. I’m surprised they are almost sold out. I can only assume they did not produce many.

I love the second option! So cute. Thanks for sharing other, less expensive options!

Wow, I can’t believe they have sold ANY! What a crazy price! I do love the suggested alternatives though – way cute and NOT $$$$$!

$795??? For a cami? It’s cute, but not that cute.

Definitely surprised that it’s almost sold out already. I was super unimpressed by some of the items in the fall lookbook, this one included (at least at that price). I like the sweetheart-neckline alternative, though.
