JCrew Sale Picks

After the show I headed to a JCrew store with my friend (who was just visiting) for a well-deserved little shopping treat.
I was a little bit nervous about taking the subway (=sweating in the subway) with my Jardin jacket but it turned out to be sturdier than I thought. The store was very picked over probably because it was the end of fashion week and it's in a very central location. The sale section was a mess as I had never seen before but I managed to find something lol. I didn't take pictures in the fitting rooms, so I am going to show you only what I bought.

First, the Heathered lumiere ruffle cardigan in heathered driftwood. Boy, this cardigan is beautiful, I don't know how I could pass by it many times without even noticing it. It's probably a secondary effect from rollouts overload (too many of the same).
I wasn't in the market for more ruffles but this one is special and it is one of the few offered in a camel color. It fits TTS, this is an XS:



And with the first button closed:


It is a little it itchy and sheer as all mohair is but I haven't a particular sensitive skin. If you plan on wearing it with a long-sleeved tee or blouse you might considering sizing up.

Next, the supercute Sweatshirt dress in heather almond. I had never tried it on because I thought that it would be too big/long on me but I was wrong (it is actually quite short). It is very comfortable and can be worn now without tights and later with tights and boots and a long-sleeved shirt. This is the XS, unbelted:



And belted:


By the way, this was $10 cheaper than online.
Last purchase, a pair of Minnies riding pants that I don't remember seeing before. The style number is 28430 and they were only $29.99. They are very soft/comfortable and they are going to replace my coal twill Minnies that have lost their shape after a few passa\ges in the washer/dryer:





I also bought a very cute skinny belt in a cobblestone color with some glitter (all FP belts were 10% off) that you will probably see soon with some outfit.

Do you own or have seen any of these?

  4. The sweater dress is great on you. I also hesitated trying it on but I might just go for it now! The Lumiere cardi is really beatiful as well. Looks like you got some great stuff!

  5. I liked the Lumiere sweater a lot, but it would be just too warm to wear where I live. It looks gorgeous on you.

    I got the Ciel Etoile cardi in black (pics on my blog)... another gorgeous one.

  6. I love the Heathered lumiere ruffle cardigan in papaya & heather driftwood but can't force myself to buy it because it's so thin. I wish they'd make this in a thicker material. I may bite if it goes down in price but honestly I go crazy worrying about snagging and pulling the threads! You may say I'm too attached to my clothing but it really aggravates me when I find a snag.

  7. ina, I think that it looks better belted (it's a little bit shapeless at the mid-section) but it's really cute, I would go for it.
    I have never seen the tasca cardigan IRL, hope that you like yours.

    mrs.anketell, it was same price than online (49.99) but I got a little extra discount through my PS. The cargos are the best ever but they cost a fortune (post coming soon)

    Andrea, thank you. Yes, great stuff!

    Rose, the cielo etoile is beautiful too.

    IRL, I think that the lumiere is so beautiful becaus of the material, otherwise it would be just another ruffled cardigan, but I know that not everybody likes mohair. It doesn't look like it will snug though!
