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?

Yesterday, Michelle Obama was spotted in the Deco shirred skirt from J.Crew. The First Lady wore the skirt while speaking at the Department of Veteran Affairs.

I love spotting J.Crew in other media outlets. Have you spotted J.Crew somewhere recently?

Deco shirred skirt, $98.00, Item 17480

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.

From the J.Crew website:

This dress is party perfect—the softest grey silk covered in thousands of bright yellow paillettes. Sleeveless silhouette. Blouson bodice, straight skirt. Skinny straps. Scoopneck. Back zip. Interior corset for added support. Fully lined. Falls above knee; 21″ from natural waist. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Spot clean. Comes in a garment bag, shipped in a gift box with blue ribbon. Catalog/jcrew.com only.

This is a stunning number from J.Crew. It’s a really nice dress for the holidays. Luckily, if you are a size 4, you can get it for much less on eBay.
