One of the best fights I ever had with my mom in the early 90s was over her refusing to buy me “$30 plain red T-shirt” from J Crew because, “I can get you the same for less from LL bean or land’s end!” And I shouted, “when I grow up all I want is to afford J Crew!” To which SHE LAUGHED IN MY FACE & said, “oh god, I hope you’re not that shallow!” (I’m not that shallow, but the grip those catalogs had on me!!!!)
Now I know what to do with the two small canvas totes that were given to our family years ago and have been languishing in the basement. They are both a traditional light color, one with green handles and one with red. Thanks for opening up new possibilities for me to dress like a 90s J. Crew model (I was in college back then)! Happy summer, Erika!
I have a hand me down Hunza G suit (thank you stylish, big sister-in-laws!!) and it’s not the color I’d chose for myself (purple) and it’s lower rise (which is a no go in my book)…. And I love it. And I get compliments every single time I wear it. I wear while pregnant, I wear it postpartum. I love it!
Same with my left on Friday suits. I feel sporty, cute and.. held? Like supported but in a cozier and more emotional way.
This is a perfect round up. I LOVE anything a-line but whenever I search "a-line" in marketplaces and online stores, I'm met with disappointing results. Sad story. I thought I was a lonely girl on the a-line train, but turns out I'm not :)
Unfortunately I think there are many people who don’t know what A Line is. I bought a great a line denim skirt on the 2nd hand market for not a lot of money bc it was labeled as a pencil skirt.

You make an excellent point Karen! Feels like the search got even harder 😂

The OG is my Bible!! So glad there’s a part two and you’re on the VCS train as well :)
Yay ❤️❤️❤️ VCS and old J.Crew = Long Live universe
I love this! And pretty sure I had that blue breezy skirt (or one similar) that I held onto until it was falling apart.
A good skirt changes everything
These colors remind me of picking out swimsuits with color blocking from the Lands’ End catalog as a kid, a distinct memory
YES.
