   My favorite piece of J. Crew clothing has to be the yellow Piazza sweater jacket I purchased last summer. Not only is it a beautiful piece of clothing but I’ve made so many great memories in it. I wore it to Italy last summer with my in-laws (my mother-in-law loved it!!). It is one of those pieces that I hope lasts forever!!!

   The absolute best has to be J. Crew t-shirts–preferably white, black or gray–it can be worn for absolutely anything or anywhere…bed, breakfast, lunch or dinner; dressed up or down; wih or without pearls..who could ask for anything more???

   I love the City Fit Watson Pant #96107–it can be dressed up or down and comes in a great range of basic colors. Second place goes to the Slub-Cotton (Ringspun) Boatneck (Painter) Tee–comfy & versatile. And, it comes in so many great colors; right now, I’m super sad that the Warm Sunflower slipped away before I could grab it in my size!

   I have a HUGE collection of theirs sashes and belts…the tortise link velvet ribbon ones, the silk sashes (also used as headbands), beaded crystal ribbon belts, tie belts, critter belts, patent leather I could go on and on…they really can make an outfit:) I have my own little JCrew belt collection…I have been a HUGE fan since 2001!

    My favorite piece of J. Crew clothing is my grey button down collar shirt with sleeves that roll up and button. I have had it for a few years, and it is the perfect shirt for work, paired with a black pencil skirt and pumps. Sadly, it is also the only piece of J. Crew clothing I own. I know, I know, for all of my obsessing over them, I only own one thing! One day I will be making enough money where I can actually buy all of the marvelous things they sell. Until then, I will just have to keep stalking them online, and force my bridesmaids to buy their dresses there, of course

    Pretty much impossible for me to pick one, but based on what I have been wearing a lot lately (and getting lot of compliments too which is always nice:) including in Barneys and other places like that!) I guess it would be my “Whisper Lame Tiered Skirt” – it is the silver ruffle J.Crew Collection Skirt from this past Spring/Summer (that is on the sale page in some sizes – Highly recommended!!). I LOVE this skirt. I have worn it all over NYC and San Francisco as well as at home, with cowboy boots and a black sequin crest T as well as a simple long sleeve white T. It is just so great and I am so glad I bought it, even at full price…..I also love my Sapphire Taffeta parlor skirt from last year that I know is a piece I will get out year after year, and my Houndstooth Gramercy Coat – the Fabric is a soft and beautiful as it was described……Oh and I like my Lexington Jacket in Black with Ivory piping – the one that was a copy of a Balenciaga (and I saw that one and I think the J.Crew was just as nice/nicer) – esp as I got this jacket final sale – there was a bidding war on Ebay with people paying more than the original price!!! OK well I’ll end it now

    I just love their jersey knit dresses. I fell in love with them after getting the tie front dress. It looks so elegant yet feels like you’re wearing one big t-shirt! I ended up getting that dress in 2 colors, and then got the lisa dress, which I love just as much (especially with a jackie cardigan thrown over it!)

    To choose just one item is impossible….oh how I adore all of the classic preppy looks in quality fabrics and flattering styles that JCrew offers. As I must pick just one, I’ll go with my best JCrew buy ever – The Vivian Wedding Dress. I bought it on clearance for $39.95 (originally $495) back in 2004-5. I stuck it away thinking it could always be an option if I came across the right guy (I am not the girl who has had her wedding day planned since childhood – instead I figured it would all fall together if it was meant to be). Anyway, I got engaged a couple of months ago and pulled out the dress only to decide that it is absolutely perfect for the big day. As it is a retired item, I found some links to show you what it looks like:

    The simple lines, beautiful fabric (mine is off white) and simple box pleat detail and wide hem make for an understated and elegant dress – only JCrew could offer simple perfection like this!

    It’s boring, but the tanks and tee’s are pure perfection. they are always a no-brainer for me and can dress up or down anything.

    It’s so hard to pick one, but I would have to say my favorite J Crew item is the summerweight cashmere cardigan. I have two and would love more. They are super soft and just the right weight. I wear them year round.
23. Niki says:

    I love love love the JCrew slub cotton shirts. Not only are they lightweight and oh so comfortable but the quality is superb and holds up so well even after multiple washes and wears. Fantastic all around.

    Hmm… my favorite right now is definitely the bright pencil skirts. It’s classic enough to wear to the office, but the color really makes it pop!

    Paws down – the 2005 (?) season wool cardigan with the Scotties across the collarbone.
    Every time I put this sweater on, I remember my Scottie – Lucy – I grew up with. I’m warm and cozy and all ginny inside thinking about her. And I get more compliments on how cute this sweater is than anything else I own.
    Best sweater ever!
28. Kate says:

    September 18, 2008 at 3:40 pm

    My favorite is a pair of high waisted jean I got 7 years ago. I still, to this day, wear them at least once a week and get compliments on them. I’m never giving them up!
29. Christine says:

    September 19, 2008 at 10:49 am

    Favorite item of all time has to be the women’s military jacket with the long row of brass buttons down the front. It is timeless and I never fail to reach for it when the weather starts to turn cold.

    My favorite item is the Celeste wedding dress from 2006. Right after I got engaged last summer I hopped on ebay and after a few months of searching and craigslisting, I got an email to head over to ebay to see the dress. In my size no less! I love it and I can’t wait to wear it. Unfortunalty, they pulled the link off the web or I’d include it for you to see
31. Jennifer says:

    My fave J.Crew item are my jeans which I wear all the time! So classic it never goes out of style! Gotta love them!
32. Katie says:

    September 23, 2008 at 12:14 pm

    J.Crew had these t-shirts last summer… some of the colors almost looked tie-dyed – very splotchy – but I bought one in a coral color that didn’t look that way. It is my all-time favorite t-shirt. So soft, fits so well. I have been looking for J.Crew to put it out again ever since with no luck. It’s my holy grail of t-shirts!
33. Jeanne says:

    My favorite is a navy shawl collar sweater from last year, love it with jeans and a necklace. Also, the Fiona gray tweed jacket I just got on sale and wear with the green bauble necklace. Love too many things!
34. Abbie says:

    September 24, 2008 at 2:48 pm

    My favorite J.Crew item is most definately the colored cardigan sweaters. They are lightweight, go great with so many things, and can be used for an eclectic look. I wear one at least twice a week if not more, even in the summer! It can be dressy or for a more casual look I slip a t-shirt in underneath. I love love love the cardigan!
35. Jackie says:

    September 24, 2008 at 3:25 pm

    My favorite j.crew item is definitely the Jackie cardigan. The first one I purchased was a beautiful shade of green my senior year in college and it still looks just as awesome four years later.

    My favorite is my bella jacket/blazer from last year, I have the eggplant purple color. I love it because you can wear it to work, out at night instead of bringing a big jacket or with a pair of jeans on the weekend! I am happy it is getting cooler here in the Northeast so I can take it out of my closet!
37. Brian says:

    I haven’t been a J Crew customer for long. I found out about J Crew approximately a year ago – through this blog to be exact. I am in Vancouver, BC and the closest J Crew Store is 3-1/2 hours away. But this blog and the online store has fueled my J Crew obsession.

    Having lost over 50 lbs, I was forced to overhaul my entire wardrobe. I got to my goal weight about the same time I found out about J Crew. As you can imagine, 95% of my wardrobe today is by J Crew. Many of my friends and collegues find this most interesting seeing that there’s no J Crew store in Canada and that I have to pay duties on every J Crew item I import into Canada. Nevertheless, my obsession with J Crew grows exponentially each day.

    My all time favorite item from J Crew is the Wool Pique Gramercy Coat. It’s my all time favorite item because of the timeless yet ultra feminine design. It is a double breasted coat with 4 large fabric covered buttons, Peter-Pan collar and empire waist. The coat is reminicent of something Kristin Davis’ character Charlotte would wear on Sex and the City. It looks great with skirts and with pants. I get numerous compliments from total strangers whenever I wear the Gramercy.

    I absolutely LOVE my Gramercy Coat – so much so that I own it in 3 different colors – the Fabulous Bright Flame, the Stunning Alpine Green and the Classic Black. Part of the allure of the Gramercy is truly the color and no one does color like J Crew.

    It is unfortunate that J Crew did not reintroduce the Gramercy for the Fall 2008 collection. Had the coat come in my Fall 2008 Must Have color – Plum, I would have surely purchased one. Nonetheless, I’m thrilled to be wearing my Gramercy Coats for a second time this winter. To add further panache to my coats will be my recently purchased Dulken & Derrik Silk Flowers. These beautiful J Crew inspired flowers will add that 2008 look to my 2007 coats.

    The Gramercy is my pick as my all-time favorite J Crew item. Here are the links to the coat:

    But my current obsession is the Georgia Dress. I love the pockets and right now I love the price!

    I have to say I love this season’s Sketchbook Roses Belle Skirt. I only really discovered J.Crew this past summer so my frame of reference for “all time” is limited, but this is probably my favorite piece so far. It’s not as flashy as some of the other pieces this season, but it is definitely a beautiful, classic piece.

    I was curious about this skirt because the pattern is similar to that of a Chanel scarf I saw in Lucky magazine last month or the month before. I thought the skirt was pretty online, but I was afraid that it was overpriced. I was pleasantly surprised by it when I saw it in the store. I tried it on, and I fell in love with it. The silk taffeta is so soft and smooth and light as air. The roses do look like a charcoal sketch, as they are a soft shaded graphite color, but they also have a hint of shimmer because of the silk taffeta fabric. I tried the skirt on and decided it was worth every penny; I took it home with me.

    The shape of this Belle is a bit fuller than the cotton taffeta Belles. It almost looks as though it has some crinoline underneath it, even though it doesn’t have anything but the thin lining layer. The fuller shape gives the skirt a flattering, waist-cinching 50s silhouette when paired with a form-fitting top. I paired this skirt with a tucked-in black cashmere ¾ sleeve turtleneck, skinny black patent belt on the skirt’s waist, pearls, and simple black heels, and put my hair in a loose chignon. When I saw myself I was vaguely reminded of Grace Kelly in Rear Window, which is impressive because believe me I look nothing like Grace Kelly. I plan to wear this outfit to my rehearsal dinner this Friday Oct. 3.

    I can see how the fullness of this skirt wouldn’t work for everyone, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It worked wonderfully for me, and I think that makes it at least worth a try I am so glad I paid attention to this skirt!

    I love the Cecilia Cami!! I bought it in the fall of 2007. I usually wear plain things in black, beige, brown, etc. But this top is so fun! I can wear it out or under a suit to work! They no longer have it online but I found it at the following website…
