So, what do you think of my picks? As you can tell, I am a sucker for vibrant colors. I am sad that none of the shoes I want come in 10.5, but they will probably run so small that I'll need an 11 anyway!
The new tresco floral is just to die for, but is it too bright? I think the pants may be WAY too much... but I still want them. My 17 or even 22 year old self is snickering at me.
I saw the feather ring in person and it is very pretty. Much more sparkly than it looks in the website photos!
What I love most about this rollout, ignoring some of the complete fails (ok, not totally ignoring, just look at how horrible these are), is that alot of it reminds me of Spring 2008, which was one of my favorite J.Crew seasons.
What are you loving from the latest J.Crew rollout?

J.Crew Spring 2013: 80s disaster?
Whilst perusing the 2013 pre-order lookbook at J.Crew, I was struck by the number of items that look like they are straight of the 1980s and/or the set of the Golden Girls. (Don't get me wrong - that is my favorite show EVER!)

80s flashback time! by jcrewjd featuring silk tops
This makes me very, very sad. Let's compare these items with some images from the March 2008 catalog:

Beautiful merino cardigan with ruffle - classic.

The lovely Vanessa in a gorgeous scarf, cashmere tee, and adorable pleated, knee length denim skirt.

Finally, and most striking, is this image which is from the Spring 2008 Collection Lookbook. Can you imagine seeing such classic items in the collection lookbook now? Me neither. (Still sad I missed out on those shoes, btw.)
I see how J.Crew is trying to change their image, and I see no need to comment on that, other than to say, me no likey. I have heard people say that the old J.Crew was boring, but I have to disagree. It was classic and beautiful and they provided gorgeous, unique accessories to jazz everything up. I want my old J.Crew back, darnit!
So, what do you think about the new Spring 2013, or is it 1987, collection?
