I just got Jthe CPenney Fall Big Book catalog in the mail today and OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have some gorgeous stuff in it. Great jackets (a velvet one that is beautiful), great menswear patterened pants (a lot cheaper than Express, Limited, Gap), cute sweaters and cardigans. I think I have lost my mind because I used to HATE JCPenney. Has anyone else looked at their fall clothing? What do you think?
I don't have the Fall big book, but I don't think you've lost your mind. I swear I think they must have fired their old "stylists" and hired hipper buyers, because they benn having stuff I like. I started going back there when I was in a desperate search for an ivory cami (before they were EVERYWHERE) and was surprised that it wasn't my mom's JCPenney. I also noticed that a few members here (meow for sure, not sure who else) get things from there all the time & they always look so great - I'm glad to see it.

I must confess that I adore JCP. I just got their fall catalog, too, and I am excited about the new styles of pants they have. It used to be that they only made those that came up to your waist, but I saw some lower waisted ones in their catalog. They are also alot cheaper than Express, although I do love Express Correspondents. I am in the process of going through and marking what I love (maybe we can share notes). There is a JCP in the town where I work, but they don't have alot. However, there is one about 1.5 hrs away from me that has everything the catalog has. I am seeing a trip to it as soon as my shopping ban is over.
I'll admit it too. I use to turn my nose up at that place but they have some cute stuff in their "contemporary" department. I definetly will be keeping my eyes on the ad papers since they have cute stuff.
No, I don't think you've lost your mind. They definitely have some cute stuff in JCPenney now. They have a partnership with Nicole Miller and her stuff there is the cutest! I have a few things for spring/summer that I bought there and I get compliments every time I wear them. Definitely not our mothers' JCPenney.
