But like Hexicon I am finding some gems out on Ebay and so with my existing J Crew items, that should keep me going until they hopefulIy get back on track.

And now with online shopping it's an entirely different thing.<br /><br />"It's awful when Cassandra is right." Well, there is that little thrill of "I told you so"! I remember all the flame wars on JCA. I'm not complaining; this year I've found lots of lovely "pre-war" JCA on eBay, including last week's treasure--a NWT 2008 ivory Penny wool boucle jacket with tiny silk ruffles and silk-covered buttons. We don't see those kinds of dressmaker details any longer. And I do know how to spell "boucle" but I don't know how to make an accent aigu. :-)<br /><br />P.S. I actually kind of like the tee.

When their rush to crapify began, the Crewlovers who worriedly pointed this out were accused of disloyalty to the brand. It's awful when Cassandra is right.<br /><br />I had actually set out to get some snaps of the extravaganza at Barney's - it drew mobs the day of its unveiling, perhaps because there were "refreshments."wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-5310092216010854792014-12-09T08:51:46.267-05:002014-12-09T08:51:46.267-05:00They didn't sparkle much at Halloween, either....They didn't sparkle much at Halloween, either.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-67817822501697455482014-12-09T07:03:39.668-05:002014-12-09T07:03:39.668-05:00Hasnt JC been off for a while now?

They were one of my favorite parts of Christmas as a little girl,always a thrill, but they rarely go over-the-top-glory-of-Christmas and now try to be global- marketplace-arty. <br />I have yet to venture out into the hoopla. Perhaps I will find more Christmas than in recent years.
