November J. Crew


It is time for JC to take a departure from all the ruffles and bows.  What started as sweet pieces here and there are now included in nearly every set they have.  There were a couple standout items for me, but all in all, I was a little disappointed with November's offerings.


I love the la plume statin pumps in spicy olive.  They are really different.  I also like the continued vintage inspired jewelry such as the crystal and pearl pastiche necklace.  However, at $135, it is a little steep so have gotten creative with my many strands to come up with something similar which I actually like so much more (see top)!  It is easy enough to wrap strands of long necklaces into pearls or other beaded items.  I also do adore the layering they continue do with all their blouses, knits, sweaters and blazers.  I don't think I will weave the flannel in!  So 80's...  Another pretty item in this catalog are the satin limelight clutches (right).  I love these as accent pieces and is a nice shift from the big hobo-styled bags.

  1. I received this little beauty in the blush which goes with just about anything. It is very sweet and sophisticated; one of those purses you could have in just about every color. Lovely.
