I love J.Crew right now--help me pick!

I can't post pics either - I think there's a problem w/the board. I love both colors in the halter - I can't choose!!

For the other two blouses - I like the Frances blouse better. We'll have to go look @ them in person this weekend!

I tried on #2 IRL, and while I LOVE the paisely print, I couldn't justify $88 for the blouse. It seemed kind of flimsy to me, and while I would have bought it if it cost less, it just didn't seem worth $88. cry

To post pics, have you tried right clicking on the picture, then clicking on "copy image location," clicking on "insert image" in the reply screen, and pasting it in? That's what I do. I used to try and copy the image itself, rather than the location, and it didn't work.

for the elizabeth halter, both colors are lovely IRL, but i think i prefer the clover by a hair. you can't go wrong though.

i prefer the cherry blossom francis blouse...i *think* i saw it through a j. crew store window and thought it was really pretty...was rushing and didn't get a chance to check it out though.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I prefer the clover, its gorgeous and shows the ruffles better.

I also would pick the cherry blossoms, but I love the other blouse too! I think it depends on your coloring.

littlebean · Kate Spade

I like the clover and the paisley best.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

Cherry blossom and for the halter that's a tough call... I think the clover is fresh looking but the navy will be classic.

Suasoria · Chanel

Me too - clover and paisley. But (a) I hate navy, and (b) the paisley I think is wearable year-round.

Mandy · Kate Spade

Clover - Navy looks great too though so you can't go wrong
Paisley - IMO the paisley is more classic and wearable year round.

twinkle_star · Kenneth Cole

I love navy but I'd go wtih the clover because it's a more unusual color (at least I don't own much green) and it's probably easier to find a navy shirt you like if you if you decide you need one in the future. I'd vote paisley too, I think it's classic and more wearable year round. I'm a serious J Crew addict right now too! Whatever you pick I think you can't go wrong.

Sigh...I love them all! I am biased because I bought the halter in green, so I vote green!

I really love the cherry blossom top, and it took all of my will to walk out of the store without it. While I adore the paisley top, the cherry blossom is my favorite color combo, so that's why it wins for me!

BTW, I went NUTS with the 20% SECRET code this week and bought a ton of stuff too!

Yeah, I think I will go with the green. I still haven't decided on the other two, but thanks for your opinions girls!

blubirde · Chanel

I think the clover is so beautiful. I vote for the clover too, but like another poster said, it depends on your coloring.

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

I know Jac's coloring and the clover would be perfect on her, especially with her hair:).

pinkkitty · BCBG

I love the clover and the cherry blossom!

wetbandit42 · Marc Jacobs

I like the navy and the cherry blossom.

jacL · Coach

Thank you for all of your help, ladies! ShopChicago33 and I went shopping at J.Crew today and...

I bought the cherry blossom top, which is absolutely beautiful IRL. I cannot wait to wear it!

Unfortunately, the halter was out of my size in all colors and is backordered on the website until June! The paisley top was not even in the store and is backordered on the website until May :(

jj · Kate Spade

Hey jacL - if you really still want the halter, the JCrew in Tucson still has it in both colors and lots of sizes!

Awesome! I just called them and they are doing a charge-send. I also found the paisley blouse at another store here in Chicago. I just hope they fit now!
