J.CrewAholics

The best way for J.Crew lovers to get to know each other through the blogosphere is to introduce ourselves…with our favorite J.Crew items!

My all-time favorite J.Crew item is a white v-neck tissue tee long sleeved shirt that I purchased in the 8th grade.  I have taken it everywhere with me from middle school to high school to college to the apartment I currently share with my boyfriend.  It’s the quickest thing to throw on and is super soft.  Most of all, it’s comforting.  Because posting a photo of it on this blog would not do it any justice, I will refrain from doing so.

But I do want to share my favorite pieces from the Fall/Winter 2007 collection.  It was an expensive season for me, but well worth the splurges.  I used my J.Crew card for every purchase and racked up many rewards points.  I rationalized the spending with the free spring items I purchased with the rewards points.

First is the item that got away.  I never saw this dress in person, but I loved the print so much.  The San Remo-print Ruffle shirtdress looked like the perfect piece to take you from day to night.

Next is the Vintage Violet cami.  I purchased this back in September and absolutely adore it.   The pre-fall weather here in Philadelphia is beautiful.  I paired the cami with a pair of leggings and trotted off to class very happily.

My next favorite item is the Glitterati Blouson dress.  I had to try really hard to justify the price tag was worth it on this item.  But on a trip to New York last October, I saw the dress live in the Columbus Circle store and instantly fell in love.  It was beautiful and my size was still available.  I snatched it up quickly and paid with J.Crew card and had the dress shipped home.  Well worth the splurge.  I wore the dress as a part of my Halloween costume where I was a peacock.  It was delectable.

Another favorite is the Cashmere Argyle Skirt.  I wore this to Thanksgiving dinner with a white button down shirt.  I received so many compliments.  J.Crew even sent a special cashmere care package with the skirt.  I felt so cared for.

Lastly, my most favorite item from the J.Crew 2007 is the Cashmere Bal D’Hiver dress.  I was so fortunate to get my hands on one of these dresses.  This dress was released over Thanksgiving weekend last year.  By the time I caught it on the website and added it to my shopping bag, it was already sold out!  Luckily, I called the catalog and there was one left in my size.  Whew!  I wore it many holiday events.  It was perfect.  I loved the tulle skirt and pockets.
