New JCrew Part 2

Here are some more pictures from the new catalog.  There are some lovely pieces and color schemes- as usual! I did feel that the in store pieces were more interesting than many of the catalog items, so tomorrow's rollout is certain to be exciting.  My initial impression is that it was the first July roll out of Fall merchandise that I have seen in ages that actually is perfectly transitional both in color and fabrication.  Many of the pieces could be worn even in hot weather. I have always felt that many of my favorite retailers missed the mark by thrusting tartan and cashmere to be admired from a distance by sundress and sandal sporting shoppers. AJC on her awesome blog is posting her reviews of some of the more "covetable" (okay- I giggle when I see that)  pieces that are save your coins worthy, but there are also some lighter weight blouses and pants that more wearable now.  Shop with M posted her polyvore  today of  great end of last season buys in anticipation of fall, and that just underscores the message that some of the great summer buys today are still worthwhile  to contemplate. Not only is it still ridiculously hot (here at least), but some of those fun pieces on sale today will be the anchor for our  next spring and summer wardrobe.  After all, I think it is the timelessness of Jcrew's styles that makes us fans.

    I am bummed that the black and white floral print is so expensive, I really like it but not at tis price.

    Oh, and about the designers that were in store yesterday, weren't they the coolest looking bunch? My PS (Nancy) told me that Micky is coming to the store on Friday at 7AM(!) and she was writing down what I had to say about the pieces I tried. I felt important and I tried to give my objective opinion and I was thinking of what everybody else her would say, it was fun.

    Thanks so much for scanning these pics - I can't wait to get my catalog. :) I LOVE the first top. I need a solid navy top but want more than a tee and if the price (and washing instructions) are right, that might be it. (My eyes just canNOT read that tiny print!)

      I don't know why my first reply did not work. Hopefully this is not a duplicate. I think the shirt is lovely, maybe brighter than navy, but certainly lovely! I think it is $68 but I don't have the catalog in front of me...

      If you are on an ipad, touch the scanned page you want to see more clearly, and it explodes full size, and you can zoom in and out too. It's as clear as real life.

      Math teacher, The top is $68.00, and the fabric content is stated as poly/viscose.

    The arm candy/bracelets are literally starting to look like candy! Love the looks of the pink & blue bracelets. I'm hoping that is a lustrous blue popover mixed in with those stacked buttondowns. Thank you so much for posting! I'm sure it's alot of work! :)

    Thanks for these pictures! Weirdly I am not loving anything but I am sure that will change. I am SO looking forward to the website roll-out tomorrow. I'm having a boring week of housework and paperwork and cooking for The Rascals, I need a happy distraction! ;)

      I have to say that although there are some nice pieces in the catalog, the more distinctive pieces were definitely in store. Hopefully they will be in tomorrow's online roll out.
      And, I am crossing my fingers for better fabrication, too!
