I really love when J.Crew Factory takes a popular print from a few seasons ago and remakes it into other pieces. Many of us loved the silk top in the Casbah print last spring. I own it and have worn it a lot. This spring I was thrilled to see that the Factory had come out with a gorgeous pencil skirt in the same exact pattern and colors! I ordered a 6 and I have plenty of room...I could have gone with a 4 but I was afraid of it being too tight. It definitely stretched during the day but it's not so big that I can't wear it, so no worries. Just keep that in mind if you are ordering it. The saturated colors of this skirt are outstanding, they are even brighter than they were on the silk top! My only complaint is it is unlined. J.Crew Factory, you're still charging $79.50 for a skirt. I don't think a lining is too much to ask!
I finally tore myself away from my beloved bubble necklace to wear another gorgeous piece- I won this necklace from a blog contest held by Gigi of
Gigi's Gone Shopping. She's hilarious and shares my love for J.Crew, so hers has always been a favorite blog of mine. Thanks for the necklace Gigi!
Check out my photographer's shadow at the bottom of the picture...as much as he grumbles about it, I thank my husband for snapping the shot everyday!
Love the Casbah print - your skirt looks great. There are a few prints J Crew has done over the years that I would love to have in several pieces!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet sayings. Thank you :) Yay, the necklace looks great! So glad it worked so easily for you. I am starting to get into this Factory re-issue business. I got the casbah scarf & tunic and am pleased w/both. I may cut the scarf and have the seam finished so it's no longer an infinity scarf. Shame I can't thread my machine. Yes, we appreciate your photographer. I see his finger poised in an artsy fashion in his shadow :)

Thanks ladies! I do love this print and can think of several more that I wish would be re-created! Gigi...I know the finger pose is pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt on you...I've tried several of these printed pencil skirts and no-can-do for me. I look like all fabric. I need longer legs!!! The colors on great in this one....and I love the black with it. Makes it much more dramatic.
